8 Amazing Wrestlers That Flopped In WWE's Attitude Era
3. K-Kwik
R-Truth is a future Hall Of Famer who has serviced wrestling comedy in ways that'll go down as the stuff of legend. The story of how Road Dogg brought him into WWE (then how Truth would find himself and the character that brought him to the world's attention) is known far and wide, but it's missing a vital chapter.
Truth first appeared on WWE TV at the end of the 'Attitude Era' as K-Kwik. In eerily similar fashion to Flash Funk, Vince McMahon had an idea of how Kwik could fit into the WWE landscape, and it involved rapping...because of course it did. His debut involved breaking up a match between Road Dogg and William Regal to encourage the DX man to "forget about strappin' and get to rappin'", which they then did to a Limp Bizkit-style song called 'Gettin' Rowdy'.
"Hollerin sufferin' succotash, I ain't fearin' nobody", and all that.
Considering the range Truth has shown in his signature role and as Ron Killings, K-Kwik was a cliched character that did nothing to show his ability to connect with the crowd. He made his debut in November 2000 and was released in April 2001, meaning his first run with the company lasted less than 6 months. Not quite the fairytale story they tried selling on the second season of WWE Unreal on Netflix, is it?!
