Currently, R-Truth is one of the most over characters in the world of pro wrestling. Recently, the former WWE United States Champion opened up about what keeps him motivated.
During his recent interview on the Busted Open Radio podcast, R-Truth opened up about what keeps him working and motivated even at this stage in his career. Truth claimed that being disciplined is the main reason for his motivation.
“Discipline. It’s discipline man. Coming to this, our business is like no other business in the world. And y’all know that. You know what I’m saying. And once we get programmed and I’ve been programmed since I got into the business. That programming, it just dwells within you. And we know, patience is a virtue. We know… One minute you could be up then the next minute you could be down. We all know the things… The insides… The things that make the clock move on the inside, we all know what it is. You know what I am saying?
“So it’s just me just being disciplined to myself. Because a lot of times the motivation ain’t there because you on the sidelines. Because you are not being used, because you are not this or that. But the discipline keeps you ready man. And the discipline keeps everybody else on notice, on check. And I think it’s just a matter of discipline meeting chance, meeting opportunity,” he said.
What is the hardest part of wrestling for R-Truth?
The 54-time 24/7 Champion also shared what he believes is the hardest part of wrestling. He claimed that the toughest part is to remain mentally engaged with his or her character.
“The hardest part? I think the hardest part of the businessman is believing that patience is a virtue and being your own cheerleader. Sometimes people lose their faith. They lose their… The thing that brought them to the biggest tests. Because they are on the sidelines, because they are on the bench, because they are not being used. And I try to tell people and motivate people. ‘Man, all right. Everything comes around. It turns around. You just got to like stay in. You’re here for a reason. Stay in it.’ I think that’s the hardest part man, keeping that mental engaged with what you’re doing and where you’re at.”
