Interviewer Raymond Rougeau With Steve Corino
Rougeau: "Some outlets have sent in a few questions for you to answer."
Corino: "ask away"
Rougeau: "From Pro Wrestling Illustrated comes the question "Steve, why did you decide to join Ring Of Honor?"
Corino: It's simple, when a legendary wrestler like Ric Flair asks to you to do something, you do it although The Code Of Honor seems hypocritical considering his past battles, Rest assured i will do anything to win even if that means breaking The Code.
Rougeau: Wrestling Observer Newsletter sends in "Steve, what are you looking to accomplish in ROH?"
Corino: I am going to be the first ROH World Champion because I am the King Of Old School and hell i'm better than The Nature Boy himself"
Rougeau: "Well we'll see the first show of Ring Of Honor this Monday at The Flagstaff"
Rougeau reaches for a handshake but Corino leaves without shaking his hand

Flair: "I must seem stupid for doing that but i have millions in my account and i know that i dont have long before i'm not gonna be able to do it like i used to so i want to give back to wrestling and i can't do that in Bischoff's promotion that's infecting our great sport with a cancer that we have to fight against lest be taken over by so called 'sports entertainment'"
Rougeau: "This question is from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter "Ric, will you be starring in Ring Of Honor in an in-ring capacity?"
