Someone's gonna die in this match aren't they?

Kevin Steen, a ladder, and a man who takes insane bumps. Yes, somebody's going to die. My guess is the ladder.

Seems like ROH have given up hope on their in house IPPV streaming. To be fair they have struggled all year in producing a top IPPV stream, but the time does seem strange! Can't understand why they've signed the deal now where they'll likely make their biggest profit in terms of PPV sales on Final Battle, & having come of the back of two excellent IPPV's with no faults of the streaming people would have trusted the stream.

Can't wait for Steen Vs El Generico Ladder war. This has MOTY written all over it and anybody who's seen them fight over the past 2 years will know what I'm taking about! The bumps will be insane!
