During an episode of the Hall of Fame podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Booker T discussed various topics, including R-Truth’s release from WWE.
Booker T said, “And there again, nature of the beast. Part of the game. I did not see the thing with R-Truth coming, especially after just coming off the match with John Cena. But this business is fluid. Very, very fluid. Anything can happen at any time.”
On R-Truth’s future:
“One thing about R-Truth. Am I worried about R-Truth? No, I’m not. R-Truth has still got a lot left in the tank, and still a lot of endeavors. I’m sure he’s still going to be on — there’s much work out there for a guy like R-Truth. So paying his bills is the last thing I’m thinking about.”
On R-Truth’s lengthy career:
“Since 1999, this guy has been a part of WWE outside of that TNA stint that he had. And so I give R-Truth major, major props for being able to parlay his success this far in this long in this business. A career like R-Truth? I don’t know if we’ll ever see another career like that. As far as the longevity that he had in the business, being able to sustain in a dog-eat-dog world that it is. Being able to be that character and knowing exactly what this, what the landscape of this business is all about.”
