It was almost a year ago when Kevin Steen and El Generico were given a one night tryout at "Fifth Year Festival: Philly" against Jay & Mark Briscoe. They ended up stealing the show that night and they have yet to slow down. Now stealing the show isn't enough for Kevin Steen.

 

You can describe Steen as brash, crude and outspoken. In the ring he is strong, agile and brutal. Now he has made his boldest statement yet. Steen called the staff here at ROHwrestling.com and demanded that we put the following comment online:

 

"I guarantee there will be some gold around Kevin Steen's fantastic waist in 2008" Steen said. "I don't care if it's the tag titles with Generico, the ROH World Title or the FIP title but I'm getting a new belt to keep my pants up and it's going to be a big heavy shiny one! Hell, I want an ROH recognized title this year so bad, I'd even get a sex change and go after the damn Shimmer belt if I could go through the operation without having to take time off away from the ring! This is how much it means to me! In 2008, Kevin Steen is going to win his first ROH recognized title and that's just the way it is!"

 

Steen has made his goal clear. Now he must get into title contention. Then we will see if he can win the big one. It all starts for Steen & El Generico on February 22nd in Long Island when they battle former FIP World Heavyweight Champion Roderick Strong & one half of the ROH World Tag Team Champions Davey Richards. This is the match that could put Steen in position to back up his words. The pressure is on.
