June 5th: A conference call took place yesterday with ROH President Cary Silkin, Senior Official Todd Sinclair, Ric Flair, and members of the ROH Booking Committee to discuss the World Title Main Event next Saturday in Manhattan. After the recent stepping down of Flair and a lengthy debate, it was agreed upon by all that Todd Sinclair should be the in-ring official for the contest. All parties also agreed that “Nature Boy” Ric Flair will still serve as an official in the contest, but on the outside of the ring. Austin Aries was particularly unhappy with this decision, stating, “Todd Sinclair is a buffoon. I wanted the Flair to have to strap that belt around my waist and loo k A Double in the eye.”
