During his appearance on E&C’s Pod of Awesomeness, R-Truth recalled a wide range of topics including the origin of the “Little Jimmy” gimmick. 

Here is what he had to say (H/t to 411mania.com for the transcription): 

“Little Jimmy was an accident, dog. How bout this like, that thing about me smoking and all that? Vince caught me smoking, right? And so I guess to rib me or to get back at me, he had me smoke a cigarette on TV. And it got me over more, ’cause people was like, ‘Oh s**t, he’s cool! He’s smoking a cigarette right now!’ Like, ‘I see you, you’re smoking it! He’s blowing smoke!’ Like in the moment I came out, Vince was like, ‘Okay, they’re cheering for it. I want you to come out and s**t on the people and call them all ‘Little Jimmys,’ all John Cena fans.’ I did that, and I just happened to turn to the side, and bend down and said, ‘Aw, Little Jimmy, all the Little Jimmys out there wanna be like you.’ And from that point on, everybody pointed and said, ‘He’s talking to Little Jimmy!’ I was just talking to my damn self, but if Little Jimmy’s there, then he’s right there, yeah! That’s who I was talking to! And dog, it just blew up from there like, I turn my head to the side, everybody says I’m talking to Little Jimmy’ … Organic, everything in my career has happened because of organic [developments], that’s it.”

“There was people, grown people that got kids, that drive cars and pay bills [that] wanted to take a picture with the empty chair, because I told them Little Jimmy was sitting there. I’m not in the seat to judge nobody, but if you wanna take a picture with Little Jimmy, by all means let me snap it. So brother, it’s like — it was contagious, man. Everybody loved Little Jimmy. As of right now, last week, people were talking about Little Jimmy at Raw. I would still get a Little Jimmy chant.”
