Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated is reporting that Dean Malenko has quit WWE. Malenko worked as a backstage agent for the company for the last eight years.
Malenko is best known for his run in WCW when he was one of the top cruiserweights in the division. He is a former four-time WCW Cruiserweight Champion and former two-time WWE Light Heavyweight Champion. He is widely considered as one of the best technical wrestlers of all-time and was nicknamed "The Man of 1,000 Holds." He was hired by WWE to work as a road agent shortly after his retirement.
Malenko's departure is just the latest shake-up backstage in WWE. Back in February, WWE made a big change by firing producer Arn Anderson after nearly two decades in the company. Shortly after his firing, WWE brought back Bruce Prichard to be part of the creative team. Earlier this month, Road Dogg stepped down as the head writer of SmackDown, a position he had held for two years. Road Dogg is reportedly taking time away from the company, but remains part of WWE.
More info wil be posted as it becomes available.
