There was overwhelming support following Truth's announcement, and this seems to be the first time in a while that a release has made such a significant impact on many. However, this may not be the end for him just yet, as he might continue to pursue a different path in the wrestling world or possibly focus on other facets of his life instead.

Regardless of what happens, R-Truth has surely left memories and a legacy in WWE that can't be replicated.
