ROH Ring Crew Worker, Former WWE Referee Sent Home After Making Advances At A Female Talent

- Ring of Honor employee Kevin Keenan, who did some refereeing and worked the ring crew, was fired this past weekend after allegedly making advances at a female member of the roster. Keenan previously worked for WWE as a referee but was released in 2009.

The night before after the TV tapings in Nashville, some of the wrestlers, crew and staff went out for food and drinks. This is when Keenan made the alleged advances, which apparently included spanking her rear end, and it was clear to people there that the un-named female roster member was uncomfortable. People reportedly told Keenan that his behavior was unacceptable and he left the establishment they were at with a few other people.

ROH officials were told later that night and booker Hunter Johnston (Delirious) reprimanded Keenan the next day in front of the ring crew, officials and roster members. Johnston reportedly told Keenan that his actions were not acceptable in the ROH locker room and wouldn't be accepted in any other locker room. Johnston then told Keenan to gather his belongings, leave and to not come back. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter was told that Keenan will no longer be used by ROH.
