FTR lost the Ring of Honor World Tag Team Championships at ROH Final Battle last month, but they weren’t the only ones left feeling worse for wear.
During FTR’s Dog-Collar match with the Briscoes, referee Mike Posey was busted open in a shocking moment for the fans watching.
On his FTR podcast, Dax Harwood said that Posey was fully on-board when the idea of blading was pitched to him. He said,
“That one little moment took it from a great match to an unforgettable match. He was f**king ready to go with that. I asked him, ‘I have this idea, if you don’t feel comfortable, I don’t blame you. If you don’t want to do it, I totally understand. Here’s my idea.’ I told him, and he said, ‘Yeah, I’ll do it.’ ‘Have you ever bled before?’ ‘No, not really, but I’m down to do it.”
Harwood thanked Posey multiple times after the show and told listeners of his podcast that the ROH ref was compensated for his performance.
“Me and Cash wanted to compensate him for that. We made sure that money was taken out of our checks and sent to him and his family before Christmas.”
FTR’s ROH World Tag Titles loss would mark the first of three defeats for the team, who have also lost the AAA and IWGP World Tag Team Championships.
