The former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Dolph Ziggler received a heartwarming message from a Hall of Famer Ric Flair following his release from the company.
The Showoff was fired by World Wrestling Entertainment on September 21st with several other stars from RAW, SmackDown, and NXT roster. The release of Ziggler came as a shock to many fans and veterans, given how dedicated he was to the business.
Nevertheless, The Nature Boy took to Twitter to share that he was late to receive the news of the 43-year-old star. Flair compared his retirement from WWE in 2008 with the former United States Champion's exit, stating how difficult it is to leave a company someone has devoted years to it.

Dutch Mantell spoke about Dolph Ziggler's WWE release
Wrestling veteran Dutch Mantell discussed how the former WWE World Heavyweight Champion has been associated with the company since 2004.
While speaking on this week's Smack Talk, Mantell shared that the 43-year-old star has enough money to relax and step away from the ring.
The wrestling veteran believes that Ziggler is aware of how the business works and that there won't be any grudges between the two parties after the release.
"After 20 years, you have stacked enough to get you through the next couple of years. He can go and relax, lay back, go to the Caribbean, go and do whatever he wants to do without a worry in the world. So, there's no hard feelings on anybody's side because everybody understands that," he said.
