January 30th: The FIP World Heavyweight Title Match for the 6th Anniversary Show on 2/23 in Manhattan has been signed. There will be a huge FIP Title rematch on 2/16 at the FIP event in Crystal River, FL (
www.FullImpactPro.com for info) pitting champion Erick Stevens vs. the man he defeated for the title Roderick Strong. Since there is no telling whether Stevens or Strong will walk into Manhattan as champion an interesting match has been signed for 2/23. Last time in New York, Stevens vs. Strong tore the house down. Now 2/23 will see another rematch between these two, but with a different twist. ROH will celebrate its birthday with Stevens vs. Strong vs. The Necro Butcher in a one fall winner take all no DQ three-way!!! Get tickets now at ROHwrestling.com.

Kevin Steen Makes A Bold Guarantee
Tuesday, January 29, 2008
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.
