- Unfortunately Eddie Edwards was unable to compete over the weekend due to a very serious staph infection. Doctors refused to clear Edwards for competition due to the contagious aspect and severity of the infection. This unlucky circumstance gave young Adam Cole the chance to capitalize on an opportunity and make a name for himself all in one night. Without an opponent, Roderick Strong proceeded to run his mouth on the microphone about not having any competition. This brought out Adam Cole who said that he looked up to Edwards and it would be an honor to take his spot in the bout. Although Cole was unsuccessful, he showed everyone in Philadelphia that he has the heart, desire, and skill to eventually climb the ranks to main event status.
- Steve Corino addressed the crowd last Friday at “Homecoming 2012†explaining the year he had in 2011 leading to “Final Battle.†Corino detailed his mindset now that Steen is back in ROH and said that he is taking a break from action but fortunately he will start as a color commentary on ROH DVD’s and help out young wrestlers in the back. Corino explained that if there is one good thing to come out of “Final Battle 2011†it is that the locker room now seems to trust him and respects the war he went through. Corino said that he is actually shocked at this given the fact that he is the one responsible for Steen now being back in ROH by losing to him. “Wrestling’s Worst Nightmare†then interrupted the interview saying that it was not easy doing what he did to Corino, Steen then ran down Jim Cornette, and told Corino that everyone had more respect for him when he was “trying to stab someone with a fork rather than kissing someone’s assâ€. Steen told Corino to do something, whether it be hugging him or hitting him, but Corino just turned around and left.
