Although he has been back in WWE for almost a decade now (eight years in total), it is easy to forget that when TNA started out R-Truth was positioned as one of the top heels in the company. Going by his real name of Ron Killings, Truth became the first (and only) recognised Africa-American NWA Heavyweight Champion fairly quickly into his TNA run. Styles was a cocky upstart heel at the time, managed by the frankly ridiculous Mortimer Plumtree. After dominating the X-Division in the early days, Styles would go on to face Killings at the 27th weekly pay-per-view put on by TNA, although by then Killings had lost the title to Jeff Jarrett. The match, whilst by no means a classic, shows that when motivated and serious Truth can put on a more than decent match. Styles is Styles, of course. AJ picked up the W after interference from David Flair and a mysterious burlap sack.
