Charlie Haas Fuukery

[So UnThotful]

On January 5, 2013, we exclusively reported that ROH officials were growing increasingly frustrated with Charlie Haas. As that time, Haas thought that he should have been going for the title instead of BJ Whitmer and also said he wanted a Tag Team Gauntlet Match to be postponed until Shelton Benjamin came back.

As previously reported, Shelton Benjamin asked for and received his release from Ring of Honor in December. While he asked for the release, he did not sign a WWE deal and was expected to return to ROH in the near future.

During the ROH Final Battle iPPV last year, ROH played up an injury angle, saying it was “recommended that Shelton take time off from the ring.” ROH left the door open to use Benjamin on a pay per appearance basis in the future but also allowed Benjamin to seek a possible return with WWE. That never happened.

Fast forward to last night with Charlie Haas.

Haas came to the ring and announced that he was retiring during Ring of Honor’s house show before his match with Jeff Louis Neal. Haas came out to the ring and cut a long promo about his time in wrestling, saying that he had done enough in the industry. Haas worked the match and then after it was done he cut another promo without a microphone, yelling it to the crowd while someone from the ROH staff tried to get him to come to the back and got flipped off for their efforts. We’re told ROH officials refused to give him a microphone following the match so he cut a promo on his own.

Haas took shots at ROH booker Delirious and Kevin Kelly during the promos “for all the things they say” about him and called Kelly a “fat piece of shyt.” As noted earlier, he was reportedly shaking and cried during the match as well as later in the locker room. We’re told following the match, Haas changed and left quickly after he was done. He did not say goodbye to anyone and was legitimately pissed off. There were also people concerned about his well being.

Haas later tweeted:

Officially retired. No match against [Shelton Benjamin] next week NYC. Time to be a full time dad and husband. I’ve turned my spandex in for scrubs. Thanks to all the fans throughout the years. I love you all. Stay safe and God bless. WGTT will always be a top Tag Team, forever.

We can now confirm that this is NOT a work. It appears as if things finally boiled over last night and he went to the ring and performed a live “shoot”. This is part of the reason ROH officials refused to give him a microphone following his match. Instead, he refused to leave the ring and cut a promo without a microphone.

Working on an exclusive that Charlie Haas was actually FIRED by ROH .... and hit one of their talents. NOT confirmed ... still trying to get more details. I do know the name of the talent he punched, etc .... trying to get confirmation before publishing though. One thing is for sure - he was intoxicated and was causing major issues ... screaming at staff, etc.

It was Grizzly Redwood, reportedly.

From the ROHWorld Forums:

I just left "War" in Asheville, NC. After returning from the restroom I heard a loud yelling from behind the curtain. It was Haas yelling at Grizzly. After a lot of "F bombs." Haas hit Grizzly Redwood in the face. Steen helped walk Redwood to the bathroom and hes was bleeding from his face.(Keep in mind this was all behind the side of the curtain while a match was going on.) Later Haas came out and started "shooting". He said something about Delirious booking and many other things. He also yelled at Kevin Kelly a few times during the match and said something like, "fukk Nigel" towards Kevin Kelly during a headlock. After the match there was a guy waving him back but he didn't want to get out of the ring and started shooting again and then thanked the fans.

this keeps getting better and better




edit:

"He(Charlie Haas)'s yelling a Kevin Kelly the entire time and said he was going to beat the hepatitis out of Nigel McGuinness."

Damn


shyt got real that night.

He comes out to take on some guy who's name I don't know to this very minute...And Haas gets the mic and tells everyone in the audience that he's given it all to wrestling and all his friends have died (naming his brother Russ, Umaga, and Lance Cade) and this is his last match. We all are shocked, obviously, and a "Thank You Charlie!" chant starts up. And he starts crying. He says he can't wipe his ass without it hurting and turning 40 sucks. He basically tells Kevin Kelly to go fukk himself about ten times then the match begins. He's yelling a Kevin Kelly the entire time and said he was going to beat the hepatitis out of Nigel McGuinness, and that drew some noise from us... And Haas loses to this guy with a little crucifix pinning combo...

So he's lying there on the mat crying and he gets up to more "Thank You Charlie!" He asks for a mic again. The ROH crew refuses, as some of the guys near the curtain are waving for him to come back and don't do all this. They absolutely won't give him the mic. So my buddy yells out for everyone to shut up so we can hear him talk and luckily they do. He thanks us all and tells us how much he loves us, and how he's ready to be a good father and husband. He then hops out of the ring and gives Kevin Kelly the finger very agressively and walks out.

Amazing show, they tore the house down. But this was strange, bittersweet, and unexpected

Gotdamn.......

Are we sure that incident with Lilian was an accident?

bytch prolly said somethin' slick earlier that night

 

[PTBG]

The E pushed the wrong member of WGTT. Haas has been killing it with those "What pisses Charlie Haas" vignettes, only thing I watch for with ROH.

I always liked Charlie I wish he would have gotten a proper singles run in the WWE or TNA maybe it isnt too late even though he said hes retiring

But that hardly ever lasts in wrestling
