R-Truth: Little Jimmy had a hell of a run. And people still ask about him. Grown people that drive cars and pay bills.
McCool: Didn’t you pitch for Little Jimmy to have his own action figure?
R-Truth: I did.
McCool: What would it be?
R-Truth: Stephanie McMahon said, “We can’t do that, Truth. We gotta give the people something.”
McCool: What would be? An empty box?
Undertaker: Would there just be a little extra space in your (box)…
R-Truth: No. He don’t get in the box with me. Just his own box.
McCool: Just an empty box. People would buy it.
Undertaker: I bet they’d buy it.
R-Truth: They would buy it. They would buy Little Jimmy.
Undertaker: In the wrestling community, yeah, they would definitely buy it.
R-Truth: I’m gonna ask Hunter, “Can we sell Little Jimmy?”
