The Top 25 ROH Wrestlers..e-book
Here's my new pride and joy. If you're a ROH fan, check it out. It's an easy and fun read. You may not agree entirely, but that's the fun part. It's exclusively at Amazon.com, and only 99 cents. Here's a sample chapter:
9. Kevin Steen
The facts:
ROH tenure 2005 (Five

Wrestling’s Worst
Nightmare...
Tag teams aside, when Steen was given the ball to run as a
singles star, he usually delivered. His
matches against Nigel McGuinness in 2008 are some of the most underrated
outings in ROH history. Then, in what was
probably the most infamous heel turn in ROH, Steen turned on his long time tag
partner El Generico at Final Battle 2009, and continued to feud for a solid
year. (Not to mention off and on again
until Generico’s departure after Final Battle 2012.)
Since that time, and through “Wrestling’s Worst Nightmare”,
Steen has essentially become the face of the company (literally and
figuratively). Steen could very easily
move higher up this list before it’s all said and done.
My 2 Cents
My first impression of Steen was, “That fat guy can really
do some cool flips.” He was also
entertaining to me in the way he would mock his opponents, and the fans. So I became a fan. He soon devolved into one of, if not the best
promo guy in the company. Again
something that set him apart from a lot of the other guys in ROH.
