Michael Elgin Responds To Rumor Of Being Arrested For Stealing

And now, the other side. It can be difficult to find out what is really going on in wrestling as you will have someone saying one thing and someone else saying another. Throw in the fact that the majority of wrestling is built on the idea of people not telling the truth. This time around, two sides are telling two very different sides of a story and it could make quite the difference.

Over the weekend, a rumor began circulating that former Ring Of Honor World Champion and current Pro Wrestling Noah star Michael Elgin had been arrested in Japan for stealing protein powder. This could have resulted in either jail time or expulsion from Japan as punishment. Elgin has since responded, saying that the story is not true and that he is leaving Japan to return to his native Canada after the death of a close relative. Elgin emphasized that he is not charged with anything, facing jail time or being deported. Pro Wrestling Noah has not commented on the situation other than saying Elgin would miss a match.

Opinion: I’m not sure what is going on here but it is certainly a unique situation. Elgin’s story is completely plausible and maybe it is the truth, but it could be interesting if he suddenly decides to not return to Japan. There isn’t much that can be figured out in such an early stage of this situation so maybe we will find out a little bit more as things move forward.

What do you think of the situation? Where would you like to see Elgin wrestle? Let us know in the comments below.
