Fightful has a new report with details on the disagreement with Vince McMahon that caused Arn Anderson’s release from WWE. Anderson was announced as being released from the company on Friday, and Fightful backs up the report yesterday claiming that it was over an incident with McMahon.

According to the site, a source said that McMahon spoke with Anderson during the disagreement in such a way that most have never seen before. Triple H has been serving as a peacekeeper between Anderson and McMahon for some time, as there has been bad blood between the two for a while now. As noted yesterday, Anderson is well-liked by Triple H, John Cena and other key people backstage.

The release of Anderson is expected to cause a blow to the company’s morale, and several producers have been taking sides over the incident. Several members of the roster are upset about the situation. That said, some believe that once things calm down, Anderson will be brought back on.

Anderson had been with WWE for eighteen years as a producer and road agent.
