Though Ric Flair was present at Saturday's Ring of Honor event long enough to deliver an in-ring promo, he did not appear in his scheduled role as an outside enforcer for the ROH Championship main-event.

PWInsider.com reports that Flair departed the event shortly after his promo, which took place during the early part of the card. According to the report, Flair's storming out came as a surprise to Ring of Honor officials, who had, earlier in the day, believed Flair had no issues with what was planned for his appearance.

It seems Flair did, however, have issues with his booking. While going over spots for the main-event backstage, sources say Flair responded that he was only present to meet with fans and deliver his in-ring promo. En route to a WWE return, Flair also expressed a problem with the fact that HDNet was shooting footage at the event--Flair did not want to appear on ROH television.

Ring of Honor officials attempted to retrieve Flair as he made his exit, but they were too late to catch up to "The Nature Boy," who departed the venue in a rental car.
