Former ROH Champion Michael Elgin and his wife were detained at the Canada-United States border trying to re-enter the U.S. following last night's ROH All-Star Extravaganza iPPV in Toronto. He ran into issues with an expired work visa because he is in the process of moving to the U.S. and getting his greencard. Until the issue is resolved, Elgin is essentially locked out of the United States and will have to stay with family in Toronto.
Michael Elgin was pulled into a meeting prior to the Ring of Honor All Star Extravaganza event on Saturday and informed of the decision to have him drop the ROH Title to Jay Briscoe. ROH officials were said to be frustrated by a few factors, including Elgin publicly expressing his desire to try out for a baseball team, his recent dealings with members of the office staff, and that he put over Trevor Lee at a Pro Wrestling Guerrilla event.
Meanwhile, Elgin was stopped at the border on Saturday night (or early Sunday morning) and was not allowed to reenter the United States. Elgin, who was born in Canada, has an expired work visa and has been waiting for a green card. Elgin is said to be very upset with ROH management and holds them responsible for the situation. At last check, Elgin was still in Canada, while his wife, Rachel Frobel (a/k/a MsChif), an American citizen, was able to return to the United States.
Opinionated View- I don't care who he jobbed to in PWG or what his visa situation is there is no reason to have him drop to Briscoe. I can't blame Elgin for being short with the ROH office there are plenty of BS things going on. And oh he did a job in a tournament he wasn't booked to win big freaking deal.
