It was Williams' first match after his battle with throat cancer, and according to promoter Sal Corrente, the wrestler was initially hesitant to work with Alegado.

The other moment with Steve that really stands out in my mind was when I decided to contact him about getting back in the ring at WrestleReunion 2 in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. He was concerned and rightfully so with what he was going through that everything would have to go well. I assured him that I had the perfect opponent in mind for him. It was Mike Kaluha from Pennsylvania. I had met Mike early on in my career [and] I knew he was the right man for the job. He was solid in the ring and a credible human being outside the ring. He understood why he was there and I knew he wouldn’t let me down.

Well, although Steve knew me, he didn’t know Mike and I could tell he was plenty worried. After a while he kept coming to me with his concerns I asked him to trust me that I wouldn’t put him in harm's way at all. If I hadn’t had the right guy we wouldn’t have even done this. Well, Steve had his comeback match and afterwards came to me and apologized for giving me so much grief and to let me know I had made the right choice of opponent and how appreciative he was. I am not sure exactly what has gone in with Steve's in ring career since that match in August 2005 but I am sure that was a very special moment for him if not his last really great in ring moment. It was a great moment for me as well it will always be with me.

Pro Wrestling WORLD-1 (2005)

He returned to action the following year for WORLD-1's "Return Show". On August 6, 2005, Alegado defeated Ricky Landell in Philadelphia after a 21 min. bout.
