Ric Flair Walks Out Of ROH Last Night?, Details

Partial Source: PWInsider.com

Ric Flair appeared as part of a pre-show autograph session prior to the ROH show in NYC last night and then cut a promo midway through the show but did not work as the special ring enforcer for the ROH Title match as previously announced. Flair apparently packed his bags and left the show right after his promo.

Word from backstage is that Flair was given several spots to do during the main event bout within his role as special enforcer but started telling people that he would leave after his promo. He also apparently didn't want to be caught on HDNet cameras which were on hand to shoot footage of the show. With so many spots built around the Figure Four during the main event, that may have had something to do with Flair not wanting to be part of the match.

Flair is at this point still scheduled for three more ROH appearances in the next month.

Most in ROH are blaming the Flair situation from last night entirely on Flair himself, not on ROH owner Cary Silken. Flair simply didn't live up to what he agreed to and walked out despite being paid in advance for the show.

On a side note, I was at the show and while I was in the bathroom Ric walked in while two security guards waited at the door for him. Talk about an awkward moment folks! I'm sure you'll be interested to know that Ric did in fact wash his hands on the way out!
