David Starr’s controversial promo, which was critical of ROH and its parent company, Sinclair Broadcast Group, ahead of his match against ROH World Champion Jay Lethal in Israel next month was taken down last week due to pressure from Sinclair according to IPWA promoter Gery Roif. Roif told The Jerusalem Post that he was forced to pull the promo due to Sinclair censorship. Roif’s statement has since been pulled from The Jerusalem Post article on Starr’s promo, but should be viewable here.

Starr is scheduled to face Jay Lethal for the ROH World Title in Israel next month in IPWA. Last week, ROH issued a statement to PWTorch saying it was IPWA’s choice to have Starr pull the promo.
