Former ECW World Champion Rhyno explained why he has chosen to leave WWE when his contract expires on 7/17 in a new interview with Chris Van Vliet.

Rhyno, 43, noted that WWE offered him more than double his current downside guarantee in order to remain with the company but he turned it down, saying it didn't guarantee he would be used and he wanted to work and be on the road.

So here is yet another on his way out due to not liking how he is (or rather how he isn't) being used.

WWE offered him more than double the money to stay and home and not wrestle:

“It was a mutual understanding that we were not going to figure out a number. And they’ve been great, I can’t say anything bad about them. I had a lot of fun. I was afraid that they would say yes to a larger downside than what they offered me because I was afraid that they would still sit me at home. It’s not that they don’t like me, there is a lot of talent there and they have to cycle the talent which is normal because you want to get men and women out there to work. I was afraid that I would become miserable and that’s the last thing that you want to do when you’re doing something that you love. I would rather take a step back and work for some of these companies and work the independent scene.”

WWE is doing this with so many people. it's pretty much what WCW did with Bret and Poffo at one point, just pay them to sit at home.
