Jonathan Coachman is livid over WWEs decision to part ways with R-Truthand hes not letting up. After initially calling the release a mistake on X, the former WWE personality followed up with a heated video message, slamming both corporate logic and fans defending the move.
Coachman shared the video with the caption: Emergency wrestling take: why the release of R Truth is bigger than others. And why you should ALL understand why he is getting the reaction today that he is. Its more than just what you do in the ring. Tell me I am wrong.
In the video, Coachman specifically addressed those who dismissed the outrage by pointing out Truths age.
He first broke down the kind of bond wrestlers develop over time, calling Truth an irreplaceable part of the WWE locker room.
Coachman then called out WWEs failure to consider other long-term roles for Truth, especially with WWEs own programs built for that exact purpose.
He questioned whether WWE even attempted to explore these options, suggesting Truth could have remained a major asset both backstage and in marketing roles.
Coachman also warned about the impact on the locker room, stressing that veterans like R-Truth help maintain morale and guide younger talent.
He ended the clip with a cold truth about business in todays WWE:
Coachmans impassioned response adds a powerful voice to the growing list of personalities criticizing WWE for letting go of someone who still clearly had value across the board. From The Miz to Karrion Kross, talent across the locker room has publicly mourned the releaseand fans have only gotten louder as the silence from WWE continues.
