Ricky Morton Pulls Out of Tournament That Bears His Name

Posted: Jul 19th 2007 By: CMBurnham

Ricky Morton wanted me to let the internet press know that he will not be appearing at Hermie Sadler's Rock-N-Roll Express Tag Team Tournament this weekend due to a dispute over his payments. The United Wrestling Federation starting promoting the show bearing the name of the team he made famous without Ricky's advance approval. He was not even booked to appear until he was already listed on the advertisements. He did not know he would be teaming with Robert until he gave Sadler the info to contact him. Then he learned that Robert was going to be making three times what he had agreed to work for.

Ricky didn't feel that it was fair for him to have to "to carry Robert's fat ass again!" by doing all the work, and all the talking while Robert stands in the corner making three times what Ricky was supposed to get. He discussed the issue with Sadler in an attempt to resolve the issue before deciding to cancel his appearance. He felt that he was disrespected by Sadler and has no interest in working for him again. He is sorry about having to disappoint the fans that were looking forward to seeing him.

Ricky will now be teaming with Chris Hamrick Saturday night at the IWA Mid-South show in Joliet, IL
