TNA pulls all its remaining contracted talent from Ring of Honor - full info
On Thursday, May 3, 2007 at 3:03 PM EST PWInsider is reporting that TNA Wrestling informed Ring of Honor today that effective immediately, all TNA contracted talent have been pulled from scheduled and future ROH bookings.
The only current TNA contracted talent left on the ROH roster includes Homicide and Austin Aries (who goes by Austin Starr in TNA and was recently suspended by the company for 90 days after the company's Lockdown PPV). Christopher Daniels finished up with ROH last week, while Samoa Joe finished up with the company earlier this year as well.
This move obviously took no one by surprise since it was TNA's reaction to ROH announcing yesterday that they have signed a deal to debut on Pay Per View beginning on July 1. TNA is said to be aware this decision will upset ROH fans, but felt they were given no choice after learning of ROH's decision to expand to PPV. There is no word on why TNA talent was also pulled from non-PPV taping events for ROH.
