Teddy Hart charged with strangulation resulting in bodily harm

Posted on by Bryan Rose

Teddy Hart has been arrested for the third time this year.

Hart, real name Edward Annis, was arraigned this morning in Richmond, Virginia on charges of strangulation resulting in bodily harm following his arrest yesterday. Under Virginia law, strangulation is considered a class six felony and could lead to 1-5 years of imprisonment and a $2,500 fine. He is currently held without bail at the Richmond County Jail and is scheduled for a April 24 hearing.

This comes following a video posted on independent wrestler Ace Montana’s Facebook page where he accused Hart of physically assaulting ROH star Maria Manic. 

“Literally had to pull my gun on Teddy Hart and throw him out of my friends house,” Montana wrote. “This piece of **** literally choked out and physically assaulted Maria Manic and would not let her get help. she texted me I’m in danger never ever did I think I would meet a piece of **** like this guy who has now been arrested with a felony against him. I don’t think this guy knew how close to death he was. This video is me kick him out before the cops came and arrested him.”

Hart continually denied the allegations in the video.

This is the third arrest for Hart this year. He was first arrested on February 12 for possession of a Schedule II controlled substance and possession with the intent to distribute. He was then arrested on March 4 due to a violation of his house arrest. He is scheduled for a April 23 court date for the February arrest.

Hart had most recently been appearing for Major League Wrestling, but was released from his contract in December.

Maria Manic’s ROH contract expires, receives WWE tryout

Posted on by Bryan Rose

Maria Manic, who was most recently a part of Ring of Honor, is at the WWE Performance Center this week for a tryout.

Fightful was the first to report the news. According to a report from PWInsider, she signed a six-month contract with ROH earlier this year that had recently expired. As recently as two weeks ago, there had been pitches for her to become involved in a storyline that would eventually lead to an intergender bout. 

Manic made her debut for Ring of Honor back in June at Best in the World, attacking a number of people, including male security guards. She was booked as a powerhouse, taking out anyone and everyone, but never wrestled. Her most recent appearance was at Death Before Dishonor, taking out both Angelina Love and Mandy Leon.

Before signing with ROH, Manic wrestled for a number of promotions on the independent scene, most notably Combat Zone Wrestling and Women Superstars Uncensored.
