In regards to Charlie Haas to put over his “Outlaw” nickname, ROH is beginning to censor him on TV because his language and actions are too much for TV. A side note to this is that an independent promotion in New York City stopped using Haas because of the same thing.
Matt Hardy will here-by be known in ROH as “The Self-Proclaimed Icon”.
ROH is looking to run Philadelphia sometime in the fall of this year.
