Joey Mercury Reveals ROH Rejecting Kelly Klein Raise To $24,000 Per Year, Continues Tirade On ROH GM
Joey Mercury continues his social media tirade against ROH management.
Earlier this week, PWInsider reported Joey Mercury and Ring of Honor had parted ways. Yesterday, Joey Mercury unloaded on ROH’s office structure. Specifically, Joey took aim at Ring Of Honor General Manager, Greg Gilleland.
Among other topics, Mercury exposed details about the way injuries have been handled and shed some light on why Ring Of Honor’s relationship with Alex Shelley has fallen apart.
Today, Mercury has continued his rant against Greg and ROH. Full tweets can be seen below, but here are a few key points:
– Mercury stands up for Kelly Klein, revealing contractual discussions she’s had with Gilleland (with her permission), including that the company rejected a raise to $24,000.
– Reveals more details about ROH’s Security Policy and calls out gaps in its structure
– Says he’s apologized privately to those he feels he’s hurt with his tirade.
– Reveals his own contract details highlighting that he was hired as a wrestler by ROH, but has zero matches under his belt since being signed.
My whistleblowing- I caused hurt along the way. I have privately apologized to the boys that didn’t appreciate my divulgence of their private info, the ones with enough character to let me know, and offered amends. I told them I’d be mindful going further into retrograde…ready?

GENDER INEQUALITY is unethical, and certainly not honorable.
Defame the character of men who let this transgression stand!?!

Please please please please please take 100% of $0.00 (actually have mountain of debt) and split between every numbskull I have TRUTH’D on. I did MY business, Professional Wrestling, a disservice by not doing this sooner. For that, I’m sorry. https://t.co/ekpTdrljKC
