Former WWE ring announcer Justin Roberts posted a heartfelt message to WWE fans on his Instagram account, his first since he was notified that his contract would not be renewed this past Monday after Raw.

Roberts called the job a dream one, and helping others while he worked for the company was the best part of it all.

He thanked everyone from referees to security to travel, to catering, and everyone in between.

“To Vince McMahon, Kevin Dunn & The Authority who gave me this incredible opportunity, I’ve got two words for ya: Thank You,” Roberts wrote. “The journey has been incredible & almost unbelievable.”

The almost 35 year old is also aware of the negative comments the company received since his release.

“After reading through all of your messages, I just want to say this: Please do not be angry & Please do not be sad. I lived my dream! I’m glad that maybe now someone else will have a spot to live theirs,” he added.
