Former ROH star Kelly Klein has filed an Employment Discrimination lawsuit against the company, and parent company Sinclair Broadcasting.
Klein filed a 28-page lawsuit against Ring of Honor and Sinclair on Wednesday, February 25, according to HeelByNature. Names listed as parties in the lawsuit are ROH General Manager Greg Gilliand, Senior Producer/Creative Director and ROH Dojo Head Trainer Hunter Johnson (Delirous), ROH COO and Vice President of Training & Development Joe Koff, and current ROH World Tag Team Champion Jay Lethal (Jamar Shipman).
Klein alleges that she was terminated from her ROH contract on December 31, 2019 because of “her complaints regarding the disparate pay for WHO female wrestlers, the lack of safety and medical protocols after Plaintiff suffered the concussion in October of 2019, and the sexual harassment at ROH,” according to the lawsuit.
Former ROH World Champion and current ROH Tag Team Champion Jay Lethal has signed a new contract to remain with the company.
It was announced on Wednesday that Lethal has re-signed with Ring of Honor. Lethal currently holds the ROH Tag Team titles with ROH Pure Champion Jonathan Gresham and is part of ROH s The Foundation stable with Gresham, Tracy Williams, and Rhett Titus.
Gresham and Williams are also among the wrestlers to have recently re-signed with ROH. Since the start of January, ROH has announced that Mark Haskins, Bandido, Amy Rose, Bateman, Brian Johnson, Sumie Sakai, Williams, The Bouncers (Beer City Bruiser & Brian Milonas), Gresham, and Lethal have re-signed with the promotion.
Top Star And Tag Team Sign New ROH Contracts
ROH World Tag Team Champion Jay Lethal has re-signed with the company.
ROH announced today that the veteran has inked a new deal, but there’s no word yet on how long it’s for.
Lethal made his debut with ROH back in 2003 as a teenager, and worked there until 2006. He returned in 2011 and has been there ever since. Lethal is the only wrestler to have held all three ROH singles titles, and the only one to hold the ROH World Title and the ROH World Television Title simultaneously.
ROH has also announced that The Bouncers (Beer City Bruiser and Brawler Milonas) have signed new deals with the company.
Ring of Honor is pleased to announce that Jay Lethal has re-signed with the company.
Lethal is rightfully regarded as “The Franchise” in ROH. The Elizabeth, N.J., native made his debut with the company as a teenager in 2003 and is the only man to have held all three singles championships the World Title, World Television Title, and Pure Title.
Lethal also is the only man to hold the ROH World and World Television titles simultaneously. He is a two-time winner of both of those championships and holds the record for most days as champion for each title.
His first stint in ROH was from 2003 to 2006. He returned in 2011 and has been with the company ever since. In his mid-thirties, Lethal is still in his prime and continues to be the measuring stick in ROH.
