In speaking to ROH owner Cary Silkin today, he said that reports any talents were released from contracts were incorrect. I was told that basically, some talents are going to be given "time out" of storylines so they can be brought back later on with new direction and storylines, but no one has been released from any existing contracts. In some cases, there is a timeline for returns. In others, there is no timeline known.
Names bandied about in the last 24 hours, none of which were confirmed by ROH sources, were The Dark City Fight Club, Necro Butcher, Austin Aries and Erick Stevens.
Silkin made it clear that "no one" had been let go by the company.
