The unsanctioned Fight Without Honor between El Generico and Kevin Steen is up next. Ring of Honor is claiming to have ended the show and is billing this match as “not within the sanction of Ring of Honor”.
Unsanctioned Fight Without Honor: Kevin Steen v. El Generico
The stipulation for this match is as follows: If El Generico wins, Kevin Steen will retire from Ring of Honor. If Steen wins, El Generico must unmask live in the ring.
Steen is out first. El Generico comes to the ring in an ominous long black coat, black tights and a black mask. The two face off, Steen extends his hand and El Generico spits in his former partners face. Steen returns the gesture and the two start it off!

Stees is decimating plastic chairs over Generico at this point. Steen is trying to tear Generico’s mask right off. Almost successful, Steen nearly loses control of the match when Generico reverses a chair shot. Not to be dismayed, Steen level Generico and lands a flipping legdrop onto a chair that is positioned over Generico’s face.
The gaping portion of Generico’s mask allows everyone to see that Generico is bleeding profusely now. Steen, in a purely vile act of heelishness, licks a handful of Generico’s blood. Steen maintains control over an exhausted El Generico.
Generico eventually regains control and bodyslams Steen along the propped side of the ladder. Imagine a ladder standing along it’s long side and Steen being bodyslammed with his spine along the length of the ladder. Scary.

Steen perches Generico up on the top rope but Generico slips out of a superplex attempt. Yakuza kick by Generico and Generico NAILS A TURNBUCKLE BRAINBUSTER!!! Generico with a pin attempt and STEEN KICKS OUT AT TWO. This is apparently the first time that El Generico has been able to execute that manuever on Steen.
Generico to his feet first and he grabs a steel chair. He goes to nail a prone Kevin Steen with it, but Steen puts his hands out and offers Generico his original mask. Generico contemplates sparing Steen. Not to be swayed from exacting revenge on his former tag team partner, Generico throws the mask to the ground and TEES OFF on Steen with the steel chair.
