WWE's TNA World Champions Ranked - From Worst To Best
6. R-Truth
It may be fairly difficult for younger WWE fans to understand, but there was a time back in the early 2000s when R-Truth was a major player in professional wrestling. After an uneventful run in the WWF as K-Kwik, Truth resurfaced in TNA performing under his real name (Ron Killings), and quickly became the top heel in the fledgling company.
It was during this time that he first became known as The Truth, thanks to his brutally open and honest promos.
In August 2002, Killings defeated Ken Shamrock to become the first African-American winner of the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. Killings defended the title against a variety of opponents for over three months before coming up short against Jarrett in November of the same year. Well, Jarrett and Vince Russo, to be exact.
Killings would win the title again in 2004, but his second run lasted less than a month. The man to defeat him? JJ, naturally...
