In their latest newswire, Ring of Honor are attempting to play up some controversy between Charlie Haas and BJ Whitmer this weekend, with Haas stating that he feels that he deserves a ROH TV Championship match over BJ Whitmer and that the Tag Team Gauntlet should be put on hold until Shelton Benjamin potentially returns.

“ROH officials are not looking forward to dealing with Charlie Haas this weekend. Haas feels that he deserves a TV title shot over BJ Whitmer and also believes that the tag team gauntlet should be put on hold until Shelton Benjamin returns and they can participate. Add on top of this that Haas has been strongly warned by the corporate office recently that his language and use of the middle finger is not appropriate for broadcast and our editors have to work overtime to edit Charlie Haas segments on TV.”
