Teddy Long shares the backstage story behind R-Truth's popular gimmick

In the early 2010s, R-Truth had a hilarious gimmick in which he used to whisper to 'Little Jimmy' in promos. He made it popular among the fans as he pretended to have conversations with the invisible character.

While speaking on Sportskeeda's The Wrestling Time Machine, wrestling veteran Teddy Long credited former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon for pitching the idea of this gimmick:

"It was Vince's idea... I don't know how he come up with it, but it was his idea, I heard. They presented it to the writers and they brought it to R-Truth... He's very entertaining man, real nice guy. I don't have any crazy stories or nothing with me and him. But like I said, he is a sweetheart of a guy. Everytime I am around him, he is a lot of fun. So man, good for him," Teddy Long said.
