Former Impact Wrestling Champion Chris Sabin confirmed expectations that he had suffered a torn ACL wrestling for Ring of Honor at their TV taping in Atlanta, GA several weeks ago.
Mike R., who was in attendance noted, "After taking a bump halfway through the match, Sabin rolled to the outside and grabbed at his knee. Trainers came over, and Sabin did not participate in the rest of the match. At the end of the match, Sabin was assisted out of the ringside area being taken out through a different exit than the other wrestlers."
On his Twitter account today, Sabin wrote:
Complete ACL tear. 8 - 12 months.

This would be the third ACL tear of Sabin's career that required surgery to repair. Sabin suffered knee injuries in 2011 and 2012 while performing for Impact Wrestling.
Sabin's current ROH deal is coming up shortly. There is no word what this may mean for his long term future with the promotion.
