This Saturday, once Final Battle 2010 comes to an end, the night will be far from over. ROH officials have decided to detach themselves from the war that Kevin Steen and El Generico have been engaged in for the last year to protect themselves from any and all financial or collateral damage that could come up because of the escalating intensity of these two men’s hatred for each other.
However, Ring Of Honor does realize that this match is one of the most anticipated battles in recent memory and thanks to help from Quebec wrestling historian Patric Laprade, who’s been following Steen and Generico’s careers from the very start, we have compiled a list of numerical facts relating to this violent feud that WILL come to an end this Saturday after Final Battle, with Steen either leaving, or Generico removing his mask.
War By Numbers:
364 – Numbers of days between Final Battle 2009 when Steen & Generico’s relationship officially came to an end with Steen blasting a steel chair across the masked man’s head and their Final Battle this Saturday in New York City
4 – Number of months that passed before The Generico Luchador could bring himself to strike back on his former partner. The line was finally crossed at “The Big Bang” when he layed into Steen with a vicious Yakuza Kick after being slapped in the face with a handful of Cabana’s Blood
