Ric Flair/ROH Update, Kane's WWE Status, Backstage News

? HDNet made the call that they were not going to allow Reid Flair on TV for Ring of Honor. One of the main reasons Ric Flair even started a relationship with ROH is so his son Reid could land a spot in the company and felt it would be a great place for him to start his career. Reid was even scheduled to start with ROH at the June 19 TV tapings until he was arrested on heroin charges.

? WWE TV ratings in Mexico have been steadily growing. Ratings for Monday Night Raw in recents weeks have topped out around a 14, while AAA averages around 7.5 to 8.0 and CMLL has stayed around the 3.5 level.

? Kane's current absence from WWE television is because he wanted to take time off to let various injuries heal up. He has had knee problems and wanted to take time off to heal up instead of working on them until surgery was necessary. There is no date planned for his return to the company right now.
