Konzept ist cool.. kann auch irgendwo nachvollziehen, dass man zunächst ein Eigengewächs einsetzt.. aber gut.. mal abwarten wie man das ganze aufzieht, wer so als Gegner eingesetzt wird.. wer noch an diesem Trial teilnehmen darf und wann..

Nuja ich seh es so ... Delirious is Head Booker von Pro Wrstling RESPECT, er ist Head Trainer der Wrestling School. Und nu hat er auch das Sagen bei ROH - er wird scho wissen warum er ihn als Nr.1 genommen hat. *g*

23. September 2010

- Die ersten 4 Matches für die HDNet Tapings Anfang Oktober stehen nun fest. Shawn Daivari wird es mit Davey Richards am 1. Oktober zu tun bekommen, womit sich Daivari eine Chance verdienen will um in Prince Nanas Augen wieder Achtung zu gewinnen.

- Homicide dagegen wird in seinem ersten ROH Match seit langer Zeit am 2. Oktober 2010 ein weiteres Embassy Mitglied bekämpfen, wenn er in einem Butcher's Rules Match gegen The Necro Butcher antreten wird. Das letzte Mal als sie sich gegenüberstanden flogen Stühle durch alle Richtungen, was wird nun die Fans erwarten?

- Auch das ROH World Television Geschehen bekommt Aufmerksamkeit bei den HDNet Tapings. Colt Cabana und Erick Stevens werden am 1. Oktober 2010 in einem No.1 Contender Match aufeinandertreffen. Der Sieger dieses Matches wird einen Tag später auf den aktuellen Champion Eddie Edwards in einem Titelmatch treffen.

- "Cuban Crippler" Ricky Reyes wird am 15. und 16. Oktober 2010 zu ROH zurückkehren (außerhalb der TV Shows). Mit mehreren Japan Tours und Puerto Rico Aufenthalten ist er ein weitgereister Ringveteran und hat überall bereits Titel gehalten. Nicht zu vergessen ist, dass er zusammen mit Rocky Romero als The Havana Pitbulls bereits die ROH World Tag Team Titles hielt und es stellt sich die Frage, wer sich ihm in Dayton und Chicago in den Weg stellen wird.

- Die kürzlich mit ROH Verträgen ausgestatteten Neulinge Adam Cole und Kyle O'Reilly werden am 15. Oktober 2010 in Dayton, Ohio als Tag Team zusammen antreten. Beide sind in einer ähnlichen Situation als Newcomer in ROH. Nun haben sie die Chance als Einheit zu überzeugen.

- Viele Women's Wrestler haben auf die Herausforderung von Daizee Haze reagiert und das ROH Office kontaktiert, um Haze Forderung nach mehr Herausforderung zu erfüllen. ROH ist einverstanden, dass mehrere Frauen in den nächsten Monaten eine Chance bekommen sich zu beweisen um zu zeigen wer mit Haze und Sara Del Rey mithalten kann.

Gibts da vielleicht bald ne Womens Division mit Titel? Ich wäre nicht abgeneigt dem Ganzen.

Ansonsten gefallen mir die ersten Matchansetzungen schonmal ganz gut, vorallem Competition um den ROH World TV Titel. So muss das sein.

The Attempted Murder Of El Generico

[Bild: http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/wp-cont...nLarge.jpg]

“I’ll never forget it man…the look in his eyes when we got to the back. Without his mask, it’s like…something just snapped…” – Colt Cabana

With their arms raised in victory, El Generico and Colt Cabana had come a long way since that fateful December night in New York City.

In the nine months following Final Battle 2009, ROH fans witnessed many twists and turns, as well as some of the bloodiest bouts in ROH history, in the emotional roller coaster ride that the war between El Generico and Kevin Steen has turned out to be.

Emotional roller-coaster ride may seem like a strange way to describe this feud but it really is quite fitting. From the heartwrenching betrayal felt by Generico after Steen turned his back on 6 years of friendship, to the uplifting efforts of Colt Cabana to help Generico get back on track, to the sick and disturbed actions and words put forth by Steen and his mentor Steve Corino, the events that preceeded Glory By Honor IX seemingly brought all four men to a boiling point that couldn’t possibly get any higher…or could it?

The Dual Chain Match was supposed to be the match to finally break the bond once and for all. The end. For a brief instant, with El Generico and Colt Cabana standing over a bloodied Steve Corino, it appeared that demons had been conquered. The expression on their faces certainely seemed to indicate that they had finally gotten what they wanted ever since this whole ordeal started…redemption. An air of satisfaction, pride and most of all, relief took over the Manhattan Center until Kevin Steen emerged once again.

Steen sent Cabana out of the ring and attempted to remind Generico of what had happened some nine months ago by trying to hit his former partner with a steel chair. Generico, however, was not ready to let Steen ruin this triumphant moment. With all the fight that was left in him, Generico turned the tide and managed to get Steen in position for the Turnbuckle Brainbuster. Steve Corino attempted to save his partner but was met with a boot to the face for his efforts. As the fired up luchador turned to go for the kill, Steen shocked the world by ripping off El Generico’s mask, which left him with no other choice but to run to the back while hiding his face as best as he could.

According to Steen, the timing was not coincidental. “In December 2003, I saw him hit that brainbuster on the turnbuckle for the first time. I told myself right there and then that I would never take that move. Never. I would never let myself be caught off guard, and I never did. Go back and watch any tapes you want. In almost seven years of having the misfortune of knowing that parasite, and having wrestled him hundreds of times, it’s still never happened because I know him better than he knows himself. That’s why he’s terrified of me and always will be. He knows he can’t fool me. He’s tried to fool all the people all these years, but I’m smarter than that. That’s why I took it upon myself to show the people what I’ve known all along, which is how ugly and despicable he is. I said I would make the picture from my shirt into a reality. And while I didn’t rip his head off, what I did was even better! No one believed me but after Glory By Honor everyone knows I am a man of my word. Now the world can finally see for themselves why he hides behind that mask… Because the real El Generico is sickening!”

To say that Steen’s actions will have a major impact on this feud is a huge understatement when one considers the significance of the mask. Obviously the mask points first and foremost to Generico’s roots in Mexico. In Lucha Libre, the mask is more than just a tradition; it is your identity as a proud fighter. To truly understand its importance, one must look at Generico’s history as an individual.

The fact is El Generico was introduced as a joke. He was essentially a lamb being led to slaughter, set to be chewed up in a single bout and never be heard from again. He was not taken seriously enough to even warrant his own identity. In his first match, he wrestled under the mask of the legendary luchador Octagon, earning him the mocking moniker of “The Generic Luchador”. However, from his very first bout he showed an uncanny ability to fight with his heart and win over an audience, instantly standing out. As his reputation and skill set grew, his mask was modified to cement his own identity. He journeyed to the far reaches of the globe, honing his craft and emerging as a star, thereby earning his own identity. Despite the mask’s evolution throughout his mounting success, each progression of the mask always kept the look somewhat similar to the Octagon mask he began with, constantly reminding him of his roots. The mask is the embodiment of all the hard work put in, all the hurdles overcame, and all the accolades he’s achieved. The mask is the life story of El Generico.

Kevin Steen ripping the mask off was nothing less than the attempted murder of El Generico.

ROH officials realize the severity of the situation at hand and have tried unsuccessfully to reach Generico. The usually reclusive luchador now appears to be completely off the grid. As a result, ROH Officials are unable to confirm El Generico’s presence at any future appearances beyond the October 1st & 2nd set of TV Tapings. Colt Cabana, undoubtedly his guiding light since this war began, was reached in hopes of shedding some light on the situation. It would appear that even he is in the dark now. “I’ve seen Generico go through the highest of highs and the lowest of lows since this all began”, said Cabana. “when we got backstage after the chain match and he was left without his mask…his identity! It was like something inside of him snapped. He just stared off into space with a crazy look in his eye. I asked him if he wanted water, something, anything. He got up, grabbed his bags and left the building. I haven’t heard from him since, and I honestly don’t know what’s next for him…but if I were a betting man, I would say things are about to get real ugly…”

Wow ... just ... WOW.

Das riecht mir nach einem Turn inklusive Repackage des generischen Luchadors.

[DE_Kimura]

wie immer sehr geniales Material, das ROH da online stellt. Allen voran wie hier, die die Texte zur Generico/Steen-Fehde.

kam dabei eben auch auf den Gedanken, ob man den Feed-Ausfall nicht absichtlich herbeigeführt hat, um nur der Live-Audience Generico's Gesicht zu zeigen. Wie auch immer.. damit ist er nun doch ein paar Wochen aus den Shows geschrieben und keine seine Verletzungen auskurieren.

Was daraus mal wird kann ich derzeit so gar nicht abschätzen.. neue Maske wird fällig.. oder tritt er zukünftig ohne auf? ?-(

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.

Dave Wood from England writes:
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:
