We go to Nick Aldis, who questions why Marty has yet to respond to his offer. His patience is running thin. Marty doesn’t need to accept, but he does need to respond. A counter offer is always welcome. Aldis demands an answer by the time Ring of Honor holds its Free Enterprise show in Baltimore this coming weekend.
