Because going into the mid-2000s; TNA prioritized signing pre-established names from WWE/wCw (Christian Cage, Sting, Kurt Angle, etc.) rather than establishing their own homegrown talent (Monty Brown, AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, etc.) Ron Killings also fell into this trope; he was amongst the first of pre-established names from (at that point) WWF that TNA ended up signing. What did they do? Pushed him almost immediately; made him the first ever black man to win the NWA world championship. If Truth decided to stay in TNA instead of opting to go back to the WWE; I wouldn't doubt they would've brought him back into the main event contention, whenever the time was right. I think they probably would've had Truth feud Booker T, and get Truth into Main Event Mafia, instead of Christian Cage _-who knows?_
The only thing that's weird about this is, Truth really doesn't sound anything like this when he raps it every time he enters lmao. What did he do to sound like this?
He does, but different versions used in WWE belongs to them also, for example, if Truth will move to AEW then he can't use those WWE versions, but he can use this one, especially right now when TNA and AEW are business partners, Christian is proving that)))
@Ken Managbanag I think the days of truth being a serious wrestler are over. If you didn't catch his TNA run then sucks to sucks. The freedom WWE gives him to do his outside businesses whilst still getting liveable salary and technically holding the most title reigns out of any WWE superstar ever for any title. I don't think he's leaving anytime song
I remember the angle they had before some WrestleMania where they were stealing the Intercontinental Championship week after week. That championship really looked good on R Truth. He should have won that if they don’t plan on giving him a World Championship run.
He's making fat stacks of dough in comedy segments, all while being the most decorated champion in the biggest wrestling company in the world. I'm sure he totally misses hour long matches in front of the same 90 people in the impact zone
Wish they actually used him better.. he has so much more potential then what wwe does to him at tna he was there world champion for a long time why can't wwe ever let guys like this shine not even for a us title shot or even interconitentinal championship or even have him go for the wwe champion he has potential and still moves better then some guys that been in the business
The benefits of making your own music
and the company let you use it 100!
Ussssaaa usssa ussssaa !!!!!!
Amen
@@BoutDatOnline cause Truth made it easier for WWE not to pay Jim Johnston for a new theme lol!!!
@@KingLabbizzle Good thing. I love Jim J, but this theme is a banger. He didn’t need a new theme.
And would continue to use this in WWE
But the remix version meaning without the intro🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Its only the guitar version
R-Truth, the only wrestler that can claim to have the same theme in two different promotions, WWE and TNA, since 2006.
Uh, cm punk?
@@GhostBoytv technically Punk has had that song in 3. WWE, UFC and AEW
Dude Cody used his theme in at least TEN promotions lol
@@GhostBoytv R-Truth actually sings his song and own the rights.
Who were the others before '06?
Ron "The Truth" Killings aka R Truth is the most underrated wrestler of all time
I need the first 5 seconds on repeat idk what it is but that piano gives me chills in the best way possible
This song is almost 20 years strong can we celebrate this brotha wassup!!!!!!
I noticed that the WWE version was a remix but with the original lyrics censored.
One of the baddest niggas ever step foot in the game is the censored line
They had the lyrics at one point, apparently I heard that JBL kept "ribbing" him about it.
They were pg
R Truth Most Underrated Superstar
R-truth’s own song he owns
2 Time NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champ
First black NWA World's Heavyweight Champion. (Bobo Brazil had an unofficial - and unrecognized - reign as NWA world champion.)
And now the raw tag team champions
I love this Song "What's Up"
He just did this live on RAW. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Even Travis Scott showed up to acknowledge the tribal truth ☝🏻
Love this theme!
Yeah I forgot he was in tna
everyone talks about cody rhodes bring entrance theme from aew to wwe but no one remember this
That theme got used in WWE
Best theme ever
What's up
Welcome back, big guy.
TNA really didn’t do much with him after the Kru broke up
true... He was paired with Pacman Jones and then he went to WWE again
Because going into the mid-2000s; TNA prioritized signing pre-established names from WWE/wCw (Christian Cage, Sting, Kurt Angle, etc.) rather than establishing their own homegrown talent (Monty Brown, AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, etc.) Ron Killings also fell into this trope; he was amongst the first of pre-established names from (at that point) WWF that TNA ended up signing.

I think they probably would've had Truth feud Booker T, and get Truth into Main Event Mafia, instead of Christian Cage _-who knows?_
He didn’t stay long after anyway so we don’t know what would’ve happened.
He was over too lol should gave him the ball
he's the only guy who got me into wrestling❤️
Little Jimmy approves of this.
2022 and I still bump this! So what's up!
The only thing that's weird about this is, Truth really doesn't sound anything like this when he raps it every time he enters lmao.
What did he do to sound like this?
Probably auto tune. His voices is sped up too
Finally they uploaded this man bro where is his tron
I guess Ron owned the rights to this song?
He does, but different versions used in WWE belongs to them also, for example, if Truth will move to AEW then he can't use those WWE versions, but he can use this one, especially right now when TNA and AEW are business partners,
Christian is proving that)))
@@dayane8696 Of course he won't, he feels very comfortable right now in WWE, I guess he'll end up he's career there.
Never say never he maybe in AEW maybe
@@TNA_Music I'm assuming WWE has a different instrumental

BETTER CAREER IN TNA
Wasnt he the 1st black world champ there
@@gianilee6381yep. First black man to hold the NWA world heavyweight championship
Wrong.
You came back I thought you were dead??
No, I just was busy)
That was surprising to hear
Legend ❤️❤️
18 April 2024 still listening 🎶 👌 ♥️
Best Version much better than his 2 WWE versions
He went from the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship to the 24/7 championship. How he has gone down hill in the WWE.
I remember the angle they had before some WrestleMania where they were stealing the Intercontinental Championship week after week. That championship really looked good on R Truth. He should have won that if they don’t plan on giving him a World Championship run.
Fr tho
He's making fat stacks of dough in comedy segments, all while being the most decorated champion in the biggest wrestling company in the world. I'm sure he totally misses hour long matches in front of the same 90 people in the impact zone
I'm sure once Nick Con -misspelled on purpose - takes over WWE after Vin-man buys the farm, Ron Killings will be "future endeavored".
@@andrewjones7329 He is the epitome of the 24/7 European Television Chanpionship.
WHAT'S UP 🎉
Im listening to this in my car and the beat goes hard! 🔥
2022 what's up!
I wish WWE would've made his character more serious instead of a joke
Bad idea
He was serious. His run as a schizo always hearing a "Little Jimmy" was about as serious as he was since TNA
You want him to be boring?
His heel character was far from boring
@@thomasburns4563 cause it was actually funny
Anybody new to his tna career were probably watching wwe and never heard of tna
Always new tna but never got into it
Well people who watch wwe should know to tna. And if not they know impact for sure
@@sameeknowsitall I do I new of them when they were stilled called tna
Wish they actually used him better.. he has so much more potential then what wwe does to him at tna he was there world champion for a long time why can't wwe ever let guys like this shine not even for a us title shot or even interconitentinal championship or even have him go for the wwe champion he has potential and still moves better then some guys that been in the business
Wudd up
But how did he continue that theme in WWE
cuz r truth owns this
He made the song. So he owns it.
Sounds familiar
Wassup! 👋😅
Fired WWE??
Nope
Yyyyyyeeeeet!
If didnt have mystikal back in the day he wouldve had a rap career first fasure
What's up
