R-Truth Says Vince McMahon Prefers Him As A Babyface

R-Truth says he can be anything but he's going to stay a good guy for now. 

He told Sam Roberts in a recent interview about how he's changed over time, and how he used his time wisely to learn from others in the company. The process has left him as a well-versed professional wrestler.

"Me coming back, I think I grew up. I graduated. When K-Kwik left and came back, it's almost like I went to college and I graduated and came back a man. I knew who the R-Truth character was. I can be your best friend, I can be your worst enemy, I can be happy, I can be sad. I can take you down that emotional roller coaster because I am all those characters in one," said R-Truth. 

Despite his flexibility, he claims WWE chairman Vince McMahon wants him to always be a fan favorite. 

"Vince, he (does not) mind me as a villain. He just gave me that because it came out of nowhere. Vince will always see R-Truth as a babyface. He loves me as a babyface. I'm a babyface. I like smiling. I like making people smile (and) laugh. I like flattering people. I just like bringing out emotions in people and Vince knows that. And he (said) 'you can never be a bad guy - you're too much of a babyface,'" said R-Truth.

But through it all R-Truth believes his time in wrestling was well spent.

"Cena and The Rock, that was, I felt, the pinnacle, man. To be in the ring with Cena and The Rock, I mean, I remember me and The Miz looking at each other like, 'we did it - we're here'. Regardless of the outcome, we're there. How many people can say that they (were) there?" asked Truth.

R-Truth is currently on Raw's roster competing with his tag-team partner Goldust. With Goldust or alone, R-Truth has been appearing in comedy segments.
