The following is a copy of a letter sent from Steve Corino to El Generico that was apparently ignored by the former ROH World TV Champion. Steve then asked ROH officials to make it public, in addition to sending it to Generico themselves, in hopes that The Generic Luchador would respond in some form.
Generico,
I have tried everything in my power to reach out to you. Called but you won't answer. Texted but you ignored. Showed up in your match in Toronto but you still won't talk to me. And I understand.
I did so many bad things to you. I manipulated your long-time partner to turn against you. I created a Monster. I made you fight for your life for an entire year. I brought dark feelings out in you you didn't even know you had.
You need to know that everything I have ever done to you professionally and personal, I am so sorry for. I have been trying to tell you this for a long time.
Everything I created was wrong.
I know you don't believe me. No one does.
In September, at Death Before Dishonor, I took the cowards way out of a match with you and headed to Japan. I didn't just do this for me, but I did it for you. I knew that the Monster would attack if I wrestled you. I thought that if I competed 7000 miles away he would leave you alone. But I was wrong and I am sorry.
There is nothing I can do about it. My time is coming where I will confront the Monster face-to-face. I am almost ready for that challenge but there is something I must do first.
I am ready to face you one-on-one. You are the one person I must make believe that I am a changed man. No cheating, no under handed tricks, no BS. Just me vs. you. May the best man win.
November 18 in Dayton, OH I want to wrestle you El Generico.
Let me show you I am a man of my word.
Let me show the ROH wrestlers that I can be trusted.
Let me show the ROH fans that I still have fight in me.
I can't make you read this and I can't make you accept my challenge but I can not go forward until I am forgiven for my past.
Sincerely,
Steven Corino

ROH officials passed that e-mail onto Generico yesterday afternoon, and while he still refused to address Steve directly, he did with a few simple lines that clearly expressed his intent:
Corino, Si. Dayton, Si.
So with that response last night, ROH management have officially signed the bout that was supposed to go down at “Death Before Dishonor IX”, Steve Corino vs. El Generico, this Friday night at “Survival of the Fittest 2011” in Dayton, OH!
Jimmy Jacobs will of course be in Corino’s corner at The Montgomery County Fairgrounds and the question on everyone’s mind is now how this will all go down when Corino faces down Generico in an actual match for the first time in nearly a year. The fear of this confrontation caused Steve to go to Japan in September at Jimmy Jacobs behest, leaving Jacobs to fight the battle on Corino’s behalf, and we all saw how that ended up. Corino is tired of running from this battle, tired of hiding from this fear, and will confront this demon Friday night!
