Wade Keller of PWTorch is reporting Keith Lee was frustrated with WWE prior to his release from the company on Thursday.

On the PWTorch VIP audio show, Keller said that he heard from people backstage in WWE that Lee was frustrated and some believed he had attitude issues, which may well have contributed to his release:

"Keith Lee, who I have chronicled for months and months and months and months and months, was somebody that even people that were rooting for him behind the scenes, became frustrated with him" 

He just had, in general, attitude issues or, as one wrestler told me tonight, perceived attitude issues. Hedging a little bit, others have said outright attitude problems and he just was frustrated. I’ve heard different things about him in terms of his mood being altered way more than it should in the modern era about being asked to do a job."
