KEVIN STEEN APPRECIATION TIME ... OH MY FN GAWD ... DAS FOTO AM ENDE SO GEIL!

There’s a lot of stuff to get to so I won’t draw out this introduction.
You people are all very sick and helpless. Desperate…

I had over 100 e-mails asking for my help in 2 days. And since then, I have received a total of 154.

I plan on answering between 3 and 5 of them per week. So you do the math. You may have to wait for a while in order to get an answer but you will most likely get one. I don’t have a particular method for choosing which ones I answer first. I just randomly pick them from my inbox…

So here we go…

Hi Kevin,

How are you? My name is Brandon. I am the biggest loser writing you an e-mail (100% for sure). I know most wrestling fans are losers but trust me I’m the biggest one. I’m not a freak though, this e-mails probably the weirdest thing I’ve done in a while and it’s a bit misleading. Most wrestling fans are freaks, and losers. I’m just a loser, but I’m the biggest one. I fly all over the country from Nebraska to go to ROH shows every month. For the July tripleshot I drove though, I didn’t fly. All the other times I fly though. The rest of my time I spend studying for actuarial exams and sitting in a video chat room with battle rappers, which is the group of people I look up to 2nd most after wrestlers. I have 36 orders at the ROHWrestling.com shop this year and I have all the order numbers tattoo’d on my back. It’s sort of like the stanley cup.

When I was in line at Walgreens in Collinsville in July I was right behind you, that was probably the highlight of my summer. It was sort of like meeting Derrick Thomas, except he’s dead now so I can’t do that. And I didn’t really talk to you, so that doesn’t count as meeting you but oh well. So basically here is my question:

QUESTION: Will you go to this video chat room next time you’re online and bored at like 11pm CST? http://www.tinychat.com/grindtime

It’s a battle rap chat room but there’s more wrestling chat in there than battle rap chat, so you will definitely get a warm welcome. If you go there please chat for at least 2 hours, thanks buddy.

Brandon

Sweet little Brandon,
calling yourself a loser and then calling other wrestling fans losers AND freaks, makes you an asshole. So next time, refer to yourself as a loser asshole. At least you’re not a freak. As a member of ROH I would like to thank you. Thank you for flying all over the country from Nebraska to see me wrestle. Thank you for ordering dvds and shirts and whatever else you may have acquired on the ROH website. It seems to me that simply saving the order numbers in your e-mail inbox for future reference would have been a lot more practical than TATOOING them on your back but that’s your choice. Most of all thank you for not talking to me at Walgreen’s.

I don’t know who Derrick Thomas is but I would personally suggest meeting me would be like meeting Shania Twain…we’re both canadians, both great country singers and I too have a great ass.
Now…the battle rapper thing…you know who loves to try to battle rap? El Generico.

Except he’s awful. Can’t speak english. Can’t speak spanish either. So he just grunts and throws in a word once every 5 seconds. Kind of sounds like this ”grunt, grunt, humming, BALLS, grunt, humming, bark-like noise, WALLS, whistle, goes ooooooo, FALL!” and then he would just stand there with his arms crossed. And about 10 months ago I wrapped a steel chair around his head.

So to sum up, no, I will not go on your battle rap chatroom at precisely 11PM CST to chat for at least 2 hours.
As a matter of fact, from now on, every night, I will make it my duty to make sure I have NOTHING to do at 11pm CST and I still won’t go on your chatroom.
Thanks for your question.

Since you are such a popular fella, how about you give me some advice on friendship.

It seems that people love to take me for advantage, ya know? They call themselves friends, but than either ignore me or just don’t try any form of communication. And these are the friends of like a year, so… it tends to hurt me.

So curious as to what you have to say about THAT.

PS; MR WRESTLING is great. Love ya work!

I never talk to my friends. They try to call, they try to e-mail me, text me, all that stuff. I never answer. Except for maybe 2 of them, I never really want to talk to them ever. So what are you complaining about? What has being friends with people ever did for you, really? The people you call friends, you said yourself, don’t even want to talk to you. They take you for advantage, whatever the f*** that means. So I would suggest getting a rat or a snake. You’ll still feel the same as if you were hanging out with your so-called friends but a rat or a snake can’t really hurt you. Unless they bite you, or proceed to wrap themselves around you and choke the life out of you while feasting on your head and shoulders. Either way, saves you all the worrying from not actually having true friends.
What do you think of THAT?
Thanks.

Me and my wife are about to enjoy the birth of our first child at the end of September. We are having a hard time picking a name for the baby, which is a girl. Any suggestions for a first name and middle name?

Pick any combination of these four names and I’m sure your daughter will have a bright future ahead of her: Ava, Carmella, Brianna or Gianna.
Thanks.

What are your thoughts on wrestling fans who frequent internet message boards?

I have no problem with wrestlings fans that go on message boards, I did as a fan and I still read one of them now that I’m a wrestler. Most people are smart enough I suppose. However, I do think people who refer to companies by one letter, like ”The ‘E is in town” are morons, just for the fact that they prefer to type the one letter as opposed to the grueling 3 it would take to do it like a normal person. I also have a problem with fans posting that they would or will do something to a wrestler when everyone in the entire world knows that there is no chance whatsoever they ever would do anything if they were ever face to face with said wrestler. I have no problem with people calling me fat, stupid, horrible, ugly, moronic, sexy, a former marine or anything like that but when they seem to imply that they would do harm to me in some way if they had the chance, it gets to me a little.

For exemple, someone on the old Ring Of Honor message board once wrote something about me that still sticks with me to this day. The thread was titled ”Time to pull the trigger on Kevin Steen” or something to that effect and it talked about how it was time, in the poster’s opinion, to grant me a title match. A few people responded, some positives, some negatives but all smart, intelligent or at least logical thoughts. Then this one person, and I don’t remember the name of the poster, probably something very representative of this individual, like ”MyLifeIsAwesomeISwearItsNotDepressingAtAllNoDudeYouDontGetItIReallyIHaveACoolLifePeopleLoveMeLikeMyFriendsAlwaysSayThatWhenImNotAroundItsLikeTheyWouldRatherDieBecauseWithoutMeNothingIsCoolImTheBest696969”, went and added this little charming note to the discussion:
”Time to pull the trigger on Kevin Steen…yeah, and let’s put the bullet right between his eyes!”

Now, think about this for a minute. What’s he’s talking about, is murder. For this wonderful, beautiful, inspriring human being, because he didn’t enjoy my wrestling skills or promos, didn’t enjoy looking at my sculpted physique or tightly spandex-wrapped package, it was time to take me away from my wife and son and shoot me in the head so that I die. A logical way to handle a situation when you don’t like someone’s performances if I’ve ever heard of one.

Now granted, I do realize that there is no chance whatsoever this person meant what he said, or at least, meant that he would like to shoot me in the head himself but the fact he wrote it still amazes me. I used to be a little angry about it. I used to think that if I ever could be face to face with him I’d ”beat the shit out of him arghghfhghghghgh angry yell!” but now I have a different outlook, thanks to Steve.
Thanks!

Kevin Steen,
I remember as a child seeing images of Sissy Spacek covered in blood from the film “Carrie”, to this day this image scares me enough as an adult that I am frightened to the view the film. Other horror films do not bother me, it is more imagery with the split screens and her eyes staring while covered in blood. Do you have any childhood trauma such as this and how should one overcome it?
Thanks

I actually do have somewhat of a similar situation to talk about. It also involves a character named Carrie but this one was played by Sarah Jessica Parker. I was forced to watch Sex and the City 2 recently and while I have managed to supress most of the movie, one thing still stands. Sarah Jessica Parker’s face…it’s nothing against her personally, she’s a decent actress I suppose but she looks like a car accident.
As for overcoming this, my only suggestion to you is to get naked and cover yourself in blood and then watch the movie again. The film shouldn’t get to you out at all, you’ll probably be more busy thinking about how you are yourself covered in blood and that you should really hit the shower before your mom, sister, girlfriend, wife, pet, caregiver, grandfather or parole officer gets to your house and sees you in this state.
Thanks.

Well there you go, world. This is it for now. Don’t forget to send your question to steenhelps@hotmail.com.

Please know that I answered all of these while wearing El Generico’s mask and enjoying a tasty banana. Please enjoy this picture as proof:
