Former WWE/Impact Wrestling star Charlie Haas missed some shows in Australia, according to the All-Star Wrestling Australia promotion's Facebook account. They issued the following statement and then followed up with an update:
"Good Afternoon, first of all we here at All-Star Wrestling Australia apologise about the lack of news in regards to the Charlie Haas situation, our team including social media team have been making the 8 hour travel north for events in Casino and Evans Head today and have been unable to get access to a computer until now.
Yesterday we were disappointed to find out that Charlie Haas who was scheduled to appear for our October 14th, 15th and 16th events did not arrive at his scheduled arrival time, attempts to reach Charlie by our team and his management were not successful, we all were genuinely concerned about Charlie's well being.
We attempted to contact flight agencies, airlines and even had a member of our staff waiting at the airport for Charlie for over 2 hours, we and his management still don't know the full story but what we do know is that Charlie did not board his flight to Australia and did not attempt to at any point.
We apologise to the fans who came out to see Charlie and didn't get to see him, we will be refunding those who purchased individual meet and greet tickets next week.
Show results for tomorrow nights event will be posted within the next 24 hours. Thank you for your patience."
The promotion issued the following update:
"Just an update in regards to the Charlie Haas situation as it has now reached international wrestling news websites and we want to be proactive in stopping any rumours that might be going out.
Yesterday a promoter from Texas that works with Charlie regularly reached out to us informing us that he had spoken to Charlie and that Charlie is safe and they know where he is. Charlie's agent also informed us that it was a personal matter, that the family was currently dealing with and that Charlie is fine.
We unfortunately have no further information, we haven't talked to Charlie directly as of yet but we are currently being patient and sympathetic in regards to the matter and hope to hear from Charlie or some of his people soon."
WrestlingNews.co sends our best wishes to Haas on the personal matter.
