Ric Flair has commented on Rubin’s departure, calling it the “worst professional move he has ever seen in his life.”

People have quit WWE before. Check out some departures:

Opinion: This is the kind of thing that happens in wrestling, especially when there are changes in who runs things behind the scenes. I’m not sure how many more of those people are going to be leaving, but at the same time, it’s always at least a bit sad to see someone lose their job because a new company bought the company. Hopefully everything settles down and no one else has to go, but there is a good chance that it will happen again.
