Former Ring of Honor Television Champion Tommaso Ciampa announced on Sunday that he is leaving the company. He wrote on Facebook:

"Ring of Honor and I have decided to part ways. I will be finishing up my services this weekend in Texas. My eternal thanks to the fans and my entire ROH family!"

I'm kind of disappointed... but also kind of not. I have been getting really annoyed with his matches since he lost the TV Title (too much kicking out at one no-selling, fighting spirit Ishii bullsh*t).

Of course, there is a ton of speculation that this is a work and that he'll be a part of the KRD angle, which I really hope isn't the case just because they did the same thing last year with Taven.

and technically with Elgin too. I feel they've been doing this a lot. I like Ciampa, no sell and all, if true, i really hope he's around somewhere where I can watch him still

Elgin's situation was a bit different in that (I believe) that was a shoot that became a work, whereas the Taven thing was a work from the start.


One rumor I've heard is that they reneged on some promise to re-sign him after his rib injury, which seems pretty sleazy.
