Wade Keller of PWtorch is reporting
"Ric Flair quit WWE this week over frustration with his push and a lack of any encouraging communucation from the front office.
There are now discussions to try to talk him into cooling off and agreeing to not quit.
His situation doesn't appear to be at all related to the suspensions, although he's now more valuable with some names being gone for a month.
If things don't work out, it's not beyond the realm of possibility that Flair could be offered a sweet and tempting deal to be part of TNA's two hour launch."
Wow, this is shocking... although I don't really blame the guy for calling it quits, he's been in the business for so long and it sucks that WWE is lowballing him like this.

I thought he was retiring next year anyway.

i can't see him going to TNA. They'd have to pay him 7 figures at the very least. Plus he wants to end his career at WM this year. And considering how good of friends he's supposed to be HHH there's no reason that shouldn't happen.

Lack of push? What does he want them to do with an 80-year old man, give him the title?

Well not really a title shot, but perhaps to go with one last run for his retirement. He's probably pissed that they haven't approached him with any plans for how he will finally go out and retire ... if not go out on top at least give him a respectable departure.

Frustration with his push? What push??? I don't even think Flair needs a push. If he still thinks that, well screw him good for him quitting. If there was anybody who needed to stop wrestling it would be Ric Flair. I hope he's retired, the thing is he hasn't really saved his money so he could retire comfortably...

I think Flair has finally lost it after they released Cryme Tyme. The straw that broke the camel's back.
