World Wrestling Entertainment issued an announcement on their website confirming the release of former ECW World champion Sabu, which PWInsider.com broke earlier this evening.
According to one source, the plan for tonight's ECW TV was for Sabu to wrestle Kevin Thorn, putting him over. Sabu reportedly balked at the match, claiming a neck injury. There are some who believe that Sabu arrived late this week expecting to be sent home as he's made noises to others about being unhappy working for the company. There have been some other recent instances of his arriving late and/or without his gear, including a TV appearance a few weeks back where he ended up wearing Daivari's boots and tights.
There are rumblings of an incident involving Sabu taking place over the weekend as well, but I haven't been able to confirm any details at this time.
