Austin Aries appears at last night's ROH PPV Taping in Chicago Ridge, IL
On Sunday, June 24, 2007 at 3:06 PM EST If you haven't read the report from last night's Ring of Honor PPV Taping in Chicago Ridge, IL (click here for the report), Austin Aries (Austin Starr in TNA) appeared after the first match and announced that he was returning to ROH full-time. Aries presented a paper to the crowd that he said would make him "free" from his current deal with TNA Wrestling.
For those who remember, Aries was suspended by TNA shortly after the company's Lockdown PPV this past April in St. Louis, MI. There had been numerous reports stating that he was trying to get out his TNA deal after the suspension, which was right around the time Ring of Honor announced plans to debut on Pay Per View. As a result, TNA pulled all contracted talent from ROH with Aries and Homicide being the only two remaining. However, it looks like he has gotten out of his deal with TNA.
