ROH Reportedly Furious With Former Champion Michael Elgin

With regards to Jay Briscoe defeating Michael Elgin for the ROH Title over the weekend, F4WOnlne.com is reporting the title switch was decided at the last minute by ROH officials.

Elgin was originally scheduled to retain and eventually lose it at Final Battle this year, however, ROH officials became “furious” over comments made by Elgin in a recent interview during which he revealed he wanted to tryout for Major League Baseball next year.

ROH reportedly “lucked out” when Elgin was stopped at the Canadian border over the weekend and is not allowed to work in the United States for 90 days due to work visa issues.

Elgin posted the following on Twitter in response to the backstage reports:

“I’m going to make something clear. I wasn’t giving up to play baseball. I wanted to prove to myself I could do it. Trying out doesn’t hurt”

“Anything at all, @ringofhonor did not tell me there was an issue with wanted to try something. Wrestle still has my full attention and love”

“I wanted to prove to myself I could do something. There has been issues but oh well. @ringofhonor is being helpful and are great ppl.”

“I love wrestling but wanted to test myself outside of wrestling. Don’t talk unless you know everything.”

“I’m saying is ROH didn’t say there was an issue becusse there wasn’t. I’m saying @ringofhonor has been great to me and is in this situation”
