More on Sabu's release

Sabu has had a long history of behavioral problems backstage in WWE which lead some observers to believe that he really did not enjoy working for the company. Prior to his firing Tuesday, he had in fact failed a wellness test and rather than being suspended he was punished by having to wrestle without pay and only put other people over.

There was also an incident at the airport en route to the ECW tapings where Sabu was detained by airport security after they checked his luggage. He was not very happy about them searching his luggage and caused a big scene at the airport, which delayed his arrival to the tapings by several hours.

When he finally arrived at the ECW tapings he was instructed that he would go out and put over Kevin Thorne. Sabu claimed he couldn’t do it due to a neck injury that had been bothering him over the weekend. This was the last straw for WWE and they made the decision to release him right there.

When friends of his asked him why he was behaving like this and acting like he wanted to be fired, he pretty much said that he didn’t want to be with the company anymore and had been unhappy for a while.

EDIT:
Here is a little bit more from Wrestlezone

Incase you haven’t heard, Sabu will not be able to jump directly to TNA as he has a 90 day non-compete clause in his contract. Sabu, who was released from WWE earlier this week, was a staple of the ECW brand.

Meh, if he hated being there so much, it's hard to get upset over him being fired for being unprofessional. Now, hopefully, he has the good sense to retire while he can still live somewhat comfortably.

[Ben Wyatt]

I'd love how some people were ripping on the WWE for letting the jackoff go.

If he hated it so much why couldnt he be an adult about it and ask for a release instead of acting like an ass?

For a guy who never said anything on camera, he was quite the Susie Chatterbox behind the scenes, hunh?

Well, he had his time in the E. Not very monumentous, but he got a shot.

Ciao, elephant guy.

I think if they fire him they have to pay him the rest of his contract but if he asks for it they don't.

Denied!

Well, temporarily....

But still: DENIED!

[Nikkie Knox]

Supposedly the day he got fired, his wife was at TNA taking pics backstage and stuff....

[Stu]

Whatever. Would've been nice if things worked out, since he's still better than a bunch of other guys on the roster. But he's done enough thanks to his time in the old ECW and he was getting up in age. So if he's happier now, more power to him.

[Boku AKA Da Green Guy]

Yeah, I'm not going to bash the 'E for this or RVD.

I mark huge for both RVD and Sabu, but they have themselves to blame really...

[Jaffa is behind you.]

so much for sabu mysterio 2.....

[Swarm]

Real classy Sabu. I look forward to getting your autograph at the Motor City Comic Con for ten bucks in a year or two when you're sitting in a booth right next to Virgil.

[angryfan]

Ah, the return of the old Sabu, how wonderful. I love what he's done over the years, and appreciate the hell he's put his body through for the sake of a fan's entertainment, but the guy is a jackass. I know Japan was paying him more back when he no showed the three way dance in 1995, but um, just a thought, maybe if you know youve got a commitment already, don't agree to something else on the same day?

unlike sabu, i can handle my drugs.

The part I'm not crazy about is that Sabu actually "worked without pay" rather than just stay home suspended. I guess somewhere in his head he was hoping he would stay. But if the E is heartless enough to ask you to work and not get paid for it my ass is out the door no exceptions failed test or not.
