Report on R-Truth and his WWE status

The idea of R-Truth (Ron Killings) on Smackdown as the “Pretty Ricky” character isn’t dead despite it not being used on television for the last few weeks. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting that while Vince McMahon loves the character, pretty much no one in creative is backing it or is really a fan of it. While Killings has always had charisma, there are some within the company who feel his age (37) could be working against him when there is something of a youth movement taking place on all of the rosters.
