Ring Of Honor Wrestling sent out the following:
Steen Wants S.C.U.M…
And Nigel is going to give them to him!
After the events of this weekend at “Border Wars 2013” where Kevin Steen stepped up to help Michael Elgin take on Jimmy Jacobs & Cliff Compton and everything that happened during the “Ring of Honor Wrestling” TV Tapings, the former World Champion and former figurehead of S.C.U.M apparently approached ROH Match Maker Nigel McGuinness and made some demands…
“I wouldn’t quite call them demands.” said McGuinness to ROHWrestling.com, “To be frank, Steen was a bit humble about these requests…passionate, fired up yes, but not demanding. He wants to kill what Corino created, one by one, Kevin Steen wants to take down each member of S.C.U.M and he wants it to start this weekend in Pittsburgh. Now I think I’ve made it clear that I want nothing more than those cowards to be put down like rabid animals and of course I will give anyone the opportunity to do just that so Steen has my blessing in this course of action. Mind you, this is not a sign of trust Kevin. For far too long you made it your mission to tear this company down and the way I look at you, the way the locker room looks at you, it doesn’t just change overnight. Hell mate, we heard the same thing from Corino for over a year and look where we stand with him now. This is the time to prove yourself to all of us…to the fans, to the boys in the locker room, to yourself…and you can start with Rhett Titus in Pittsburgh!”
Titus showed his devotion to Corino and S.C.U.M at “Border Wars 2013” when he said the words “I Quit” to save Steve from being assaulted with a chair, and you know that he will relish the opportunity to prove himself “Addicted to SCUM” by facing Kevin Steen. Rhett was unsuccessful last year when he attempted to take the World Title from Kevin on ROH TV but now, with the backing of S.C.U.M, the odds have definitely swung in Titus’ favor. This Saturday May 11th, Rhett will have a chance to end S.C.U.M’s Steen problem and Kevin will have the chance to begin proving himself to Ring of Honor…
But that’s not all, because ROHWrestling.com was also informed that on Saturday May 18th when we return to Richmond, it will be “The Zombie Princess” Jimmy Jacobs who must contend with Steen! These two men had a violent clash at the “10th Anniversary Event” that ultimately put Jacobs back on this dark path and led to the formation of S.C.U.M in the first place. Steen won that battle in New York City last year; will Richmond see a repeat performance from Kevin or is it the depraved Jacobs who holds the advantage having just pinned the former World Champion at “Border Wars 2013”?
Steen vs. Titus in Pittsburgh on May 11th, Steen vs. Jacobs in Richmond on May 18th…it is Kevin’s personal war against S.C.U.M and he is aiming to pick them off one-by-one! Tickets for both events are on-sale now in the ROH Store!
