Kevin Steen and El Generico’s issues have escalated beyond anything anyone in Ring Of Honor could have expected. They have agreed, against ROH management’s wishes, to settle their war once and for all at Final Battle in a mask vs career match.
ROH president Cary Silkin, ROH vice-president Syd Eick and ROH executive producer Jim Cornette have all tried to talk both men out of the stipulation but after meeting early last week, they have all agreed that this situation is simply out of control and need to end. They have ultimately decided to let them go forward with the match as is, with Generico unmasking if he his defeated, and Steen being gone from ROH should he lose the match.
Cary Silkin even went as far as making the New York City epic a Fight Without Honor after the events of last weekend in Dearborn and Mississauga.
“This is too much for me. I’ve seen so many feuds and wars through the years. ROH has always had some of the most intense wrestlers in the world and sometimes, often even, things get out of hand but this…this has to stop” said Silkin. ”It’s gotten to the point where I don’t feel safe being ringside when Steen is out in the ring. I used to love El Generico’s energy and enthusiasm and now he comes to the ring all in black and just isn’t himself. They’re both too far gone. I actually thought they were going to injure a fan last weekend in Mississauga and that’s where I draw the line. They want to kill each other? Fine. I’m giving them the ulitmate platform to do it. Final Battle, iPPV on GoFightLive.tv, Fight Without Honor. It just doesn’t get any bigger than this.”
When asked about the stipulation of the match, with Generico’s mask and Steen’s ROH career on the line, the ROH president seemed quite disheartened.
“It’s not good either way. I don’t want this to happen. In a perfect world, to me anyway, Steen and Generico would still be tearing up the tag team division together as one of the most entertaining duos we’ve ever had. We tried to change it but they’re both dead set on it, and the fans are clearly looking forward to seeing them solve this issue this way. All I know is, on December 19th, ROH won’t be the same. One way or another we’re losing a huge piece of this company. Either Kevin Steen leaves or El Generico as we know him is done. I don’t like it at all…but it has to end.
Before somebody gets killed…”
