The words have been spoken, agreements have been made, and now the contracts have been signed. It is now official that Kevin Steen will make his official return to Ring of Honor competition at “Final Battle 2011” after a year-long absence to face Steve Corino one-on-one with Jimmy Jacobs serving as the guest referee.
It all came to a head this past weekend on “Ring of Honor Wrestling” TV, available now for Ringside Members and Thursday for everybody, when ROH Executive Producer Jim Cornette invited Steen & his legal team to extend them a settlement offer. Cornette, with Corino & Jacobs on his side, exchanged heated words with Steen that turned a little to0 colorful to repeat here, before turning things over to Corino to say his piece.
Steve took responsibility for everything that happened in 2010 between Steen & his former partner El Generico, and accepted blame for creating the monster that Kevin Steen has since become. More harsh, heated words were exchanged between Kevin & Steve, culminating in Steen spitting in Corino’s face and Steve punching his former friend in retaliation. Security quickly intervened in the situation, preventing any further violence, but the stage was set for the confrontation that has been building since June at “Best in the World 2011” when Kevin set foot in ROH for the first time since his banishment at the close of 2010 and unleashed utter chaos.
So it is at “Final Battle 2011” on December 23rd in NYC, Kevin Steen & Steve Corino collide, Jimmy Jacobs as the guest referee, Jim Cornette in attendance at ringside, and hanging in the balance is the fate of Steen’s ROH career. If he loses, Steen has agreed to never darken Ring of Honor’s doorstep again. If he wins, well it may be time to pray, to whatever you believe in, for the future of ROH….
Tickets for “Final Battle 2011” can be purchased in the ROH Store, and if you cannot be there in attendance, ROH’s year-end extravaganza will be available live on iPPV courtesy of GoFightLive! For all the ordering information visit GFL.TV.
