As we reported yesterday, Charlie Haas legitimately quit Ring of Honor during an event this past Saturday night and was said to have delivered a drunken rant to the fans, specifically directing comments to several of the ROH staff including head booker Delirious and announcer Kevin Kelly.

WZ has learned, through several eyewitness sources in ROH, that the following took place during intermission of the event which lead to Charlie Haas' in-ring incident:

Charlie was legitimately drunk, got into an altercation with Grizzly Redwood, who reportedly started it, and the altercation resulted in Charlie hitting Grizzly in the locker room. Delirious then screamed at Charlie for getting physical with Grizzly.

This all took place right before intermission and Haas was scheduled first after intermission. ROH officials were reportedly asked to try and talk Charlie out of going out to the ring, as the belief was he was in no shape to compete. Haas refused, and apparently told the locker room he was quitting anyway. Haas then went out to the ring, got on the mic, said this was his last match, had what was described as a "stinker" of a bout with a local wrestler, then spoke more to the crowd after the match, but not on the mic as he was cut off by ROH.

After Charlie left the ring, he was visibly crying and spoke about his dead brother and all his dead friends.

In addition to the above, WZ was told by several people in ROH that few in the company will miss Haas. There are a lot of guys on the roster who feel he isn't as good as he thinks he is, and he portrayed himself in ROH as a star in WWE when he was barely on TV. Haas reportedly rubbed a lot of people in ROH the wrong way, especially those who he thought he was above, like guys on the ring crew, etc.

IWC seems to be going crazy over Amazing Red and his "signing", has that been confirmed yet?

No word yet. It's probably an April Fools joke. Although it has been mentioned he did have tryout matches a few months ago...

The likeness is uncanny tbh, it has made the Taker/Punk match more interesting but if he hadn't of died what would they of done to build up to the WM match?

Probably would have had Punk and Heyman kidnap him, similar to Edge when he feuded with Kane.

It's going to turn out that Paul Bearer isn't dead, it is going to be a storyline and Undertaker will win at WM when Paul Bearer (or a guy who looks like him) low blows CM Punk. :laugh:

"My god, CM Punk was just low blow'd by Paul Bearer's spirit"

It does make you wonder what the storyline would have been if he hadn't of died.

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By Case_f · Posted

      Frankly, I blame whoever is writing such articles. "A big improvement/update and/or new feature is now available to everyone! Also, use some unofficial tweak tool to enable it because it actually isn't available to you yet and might not in fact even be entirely ready or whatever, hence why it is perhaps not enabled for you*. But it's great and you should enable it!" I mean there's nothing wrong with sharing info about some feature you might need to enable via unofficial means, of course. It's just that these articles tend to essentially end up being two news pieces in one, and one of them tends to be a bit misleading. (*Yes, yes, the "it's a controlled rollout!" thing. Not a fan of that one either. The argument, not the actual rollout.)

    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.
