Truth & Consequences of Ron Killings and WWE

About this episode

Richie Mars discusses the implications of R-Truth's recent actions in WWE and the fan reactions surrounding them.

9 Days Ago, R-Truth announced that WWE was going to let his contract expire. 6 Days later, R-Truth made his presence felt by attacking John Cena at WWE Money in the Bank. Ever since then, fans have been debating whether or not it was all part of the plan. Richie Mars talks about why it doesn't matter what's real or not, how WWE caused R-Truth's popularity unknowingly in the past month, why fans latched onto the "We Want Truth" movement, what the "What?" chants show about the audience, why fans focus more on other people's fandom rather than their own and much more! There's A LOT to get into and that's the truth! Sit back, relax and enjoy the Truth & Consequences of Ron Killings! Follow Richie Mars (@RetoldRichieMars) on TikTok/YouTube/IG
