Pro wrestler Super A.C.H., formerly Jordan Myles of WWE, says he has quit the company. A.C.H. are his real initials, standing for Albert Christian Hardie Jr.

“As of today, I’d like to officially announce that I quit f—ing WWE,” Hardie Jr. said in a Twitter Live video on Wednesday. “I am no longer an employee. I refuse to work for racists.”

Technically, wrestlers signed with WWE are not employees, they are independent contractors.

“I f—ing quit, f— them,” Hardie Jr. continued. “I hate that f—ing company and everything they f—ing stand for. All they did was ever hold our f—ing people back. I do this s— for the culture, I don’t need anyone’s f—ing permission to do what I wanna do.”

“Screw ‘Jordan Myles,’ don’t ever call me by that slave name. Call me ‘A.C.H.’ and don’t forget the ‘Super,’ bitch,” he added. “I quit. F— you.”

Jordan Myles was the wrestler’s character name in WWE. TheWrap reached out to WWE for comment on the matter, but we did not hear back.

Hardie Jr. has since deleted this Twitter page and thus the video, but readers can still watch it at NoDQ.com.

Last month, Hardie Jr. publicly called out WWE for designing what he believed to be a “Sambo” doll-style t-shirt as his for-sale merchandise. WWE said that Myles “approved” the t-shirt design.

“Albert Hardie Jr. (aka Jordan Myles) approved this t-shirt for sale,” a WWE spokesman said in a statement at the time. “As always, we work collaboratively with all of our performers to develop logos and merchandise designs and get their input and approval before proceeding. This was the same process with Albert, and we responded swiftly once he later requested that the logo/t-shirt be redesigned.”

“No t-shirts were sold,” WWE added.

”Stone Cold“ Steve Austin’s new USA Network series premieres on Aug. 12

These days, WWE Superstars don't just make their TV money through in-ring performances on "Raw," "SmackDown Live" and WWE Network pay-per-views -- there's an entire universe of opportunity for popular pro wrestlers to earn big bucks on the small screen.  

In our gallery are 11 WWE wrestlers with their own television shows. We've included a few select series from recent years to help paint a picture of the non-canvas landscape. A few: "Straight Up Steve Austin," "Fight Like a Girl" and "The Big Show Show" have yet to premiere.  

For the purposes of this story, we only counted the three people who appeared in all 111 episodes of "Total Divas" -- Nikki Bella, Brie Bella and Natalya -- as it being *their* show, but we included the names of everyone who showed up in seven or more episodes of that one.
