R-Truth says "there's no words in the dictionary" to describe how he felt when he saw the outpouring of support from fans following his WWE departure last year:
"Thereās no words in the dictionary to express how I felt. My son was behind me when I got the call. And when I did the tweet⦠I couldnāt be salty, Iām not mad. We said at the top of this thing, āTruth youāve been here for a while, youāve experienced a lot.ā Like, yes. The ride. Iām thinking about the ride. My dad would always say āEnjoy the ride son.ā The ride was phenomenal. It was great.
"And I owe the thanks to WWE, I owe thanks to the fans. I owe thanks to the universe. I owe thanks to everybody that enjoyed this ride. And when that tweet went out, that was all it was meant to be. And it (was) justā¦The most moving thing that ever happened in my life.
"My son, heās 25 and when I lived in Tennessee, thatās who was with me. Thatās who I had to take care of. When I gave up (on wrestling) thatās who I thought (of). I kept going for him. Iām a single father, before I met my wife. And for him to say āDad, it was worth it.ā I just broke down. That was deep to me.
"Iāve missed anniversaries, Iāve missed your school graduation, thereās so many things, occasions, funerals, so many things that Iāve missed in life, that I never did get to accomplish⦠It was just because of this wrestling business, and I did it, I did the best I could. But my son said, āDad, it was worth it.ā It brought tears to my eyes. And to see the fans, to hear them, Iām watching and Iām hearing āWe want Truth.ā Yāall donāt know how that felt. Thatās lightning in a bottle. It never happens."
