Wade Keller is reporting that Ric Flair quit WWE earlier this week. Flair is frustrated with his push and lack of any encouraging communication from the front office.
Both sides have ongoing discussions to try and cool the situations down, with WWE hoping to talk him in to agreeing not to quit the company. The situation with Flair doesn’t appear to be related to the suspensions. This is a big blow to WWE, considering the lack of depth in the roster right now.
If the two sides don’t come to terms, Flair could sign a deal with TNA for the two-hour launch. TNA is well aware of the situation and interested in signing Flair.

Although the story did not break until Tuesday, WrestlingObserver.com reports that Ric Flair gave notice to WWE sometime around August 21.
As reported, Flair's decision to quit is related to his lack of a push; the recent drug scandal apparently had nothing to do with his giving notice.
WWE reportedly offered Flair a "major program" in exchange for his agreement to stay on board. At press time, however, the two sides had not worked out a deal and, as the Observer says, "nobody except perhaps Flair knows where things stand at this moment." credit lordsofpain.com
This is stunning news, and honestly, this can really hurt the WWE and help boost TNA. This drug issue that the WWE is dealing with, combined with TNA pushing itself into a two-hour format could cause some major havoc.
