ROH and the former Joey Mercury have split, leading to Joey opening a Twitter account and making a series of attacks on ROH and its staff, with the relevant information recapped here:
-- Tweet 1
- Joey referring to ROH as an "unsafe environment" in and out of the ring with no security or medical staff.
- Taking ROH to task for not having women on creative.
- Attacking ROH's production values.
- Joey not having a job description and other concerns with his contract.
-- Tweet 2
- Joey calling his contract non-binding and quitting, indicating he has no other offers but wants out of his ROH deal.
-- Tweet 3
- Taking ROH to task for not signing Shane Taylor, whose contract is up at the end of the year.
-- Tweet 4
- Calling for ROH GM Greg Gilleland to be out of his position.

- Attacking ROH for clearing Kelly Klein to wrestle despite concussion symptoms.
- Tweet 12 also attacks the travel department regarding Jeff Cobb. There was nothing further about this.

-- Tweet 18

BJ Whitmer corroborated Joey's accounts.
Kelly Klein put Joey over and indicated Joey was part of the reason she has stayed with ROH.
Greg Gilleland responded to Joey's tweets, accusing him of breaching his ROH deal. I expect this is going to get even more serious, with ROH continuing to have issues as it does. These are major concerns.
