Reposted on: 7.9.21 2215.16 | Why the fast title switch? Eglin had a very short run, even for WWe standards. It looked like to me he'd be in the 1 year club. Was this part of getting Jay to resign?

Lost the title to Elgin at Best in the World in June.
3 months. I didn't think ROH did short title reigns. | thecubsfan

They sure don't normally. It sounds like ROH soured on Elgin quickly and sharply, to the point where he might not have been used a lot going forward.
It was lucky timing. After the show, while heading to another one, Elgin got stopped at the border for an expired work visa - it's going to be a while before he can come back to the US, and may be a long time. | Rudoublesedoublel

Did they possibly know that he was having visa issues?
Did they possibly do a short reign just because they had never done one before?
Congratulations to Jay. | graves9

Reposted on: 8.9.21 1716.02 | | http://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/ROH_News_29/article_80621.shtml Look like there were many issues between the two sides. Meltzer said Sinclair played a part in the decision for Elgin to drop the title as well. | | ALL ORIGINAL POSTS IN THIS THREAD ARE NOW AVAILABLE |
