10 Wrestling Rituals You Didn't Know About
7. R-Truth Takes A Drive
Like many an athlete, a major part of Ron Killings' pre-game ritual involves a large amount of stretching while listening to some of his favourite songs. R-Truth doesn't stop there, though, for once he's done stretching he exits the building and goes for a drive.
Yes, having done his stretches, gotten himself warmed up, the on-off 24/7 Champion opts to take his car for a spin before it's bell time.
Speaking to The Shreveport Times a few years ago about this, Truth explained:
"I’ve been doing this for 17 years and right now it’s pretty much like sitting in the saddle. I do my same ritual. I listen to my music to mentally get my mind right, I go through my stretches and after that I crank that car up and I drive it. I listen to everything. I’m always listening to some Lil’ Boosie, Wale, Marilyn Manson, Christina Aguilera, Hank Williams, Jr., Shooter Jennings — a wide range of music."
Considering that R-Truth has barely aged in day in the past two decades, his routine has most certainly worked wonders for a superstar who is somehow 48 years of age here in 2020!
