July 20th: We’re less than a week away from one of the biggest weekends of the year for Ring of Honor as we present ‘Death Before Dishonor VII’ on Friday and Saturday night in Toronto at the newly infamous Ted Reeve Arena! ROH is ready to brave the ‘elements’ outside the arena and tear it up on the inside with an appearance by Bret Hart on Friday, Ric Flair on Saturday, and returning to the ring for both nights, Lance Storm! Plus, be a part of the official ROH afterparty at The Champions’ Den on Friday night after the event and hob-knob with the stars of Ring of Honor!

July 20th: Kenny Omega heard what Austin Aries had to say, and he knows that Aries will drag his feet as long as he can before deciding to give Omega a shot at the ROH World Title. Omega also knows that even if Aries retains on Friday night and gives him a chance at the title on Saturday, he won’t do it alone. “Aries will have Titus and King nearby. I’ve already seen how that works; it’s Aries AND his little henchmen you have to deal with. And either way Aries plays it, I’m ready. I’m prepared to take on Aries, King, and Titus because I’ll have backup ready. The ball is in your court, Aries.” ROH officials are still waiting on Austin Aries to decide if he will defend the title against Kenny Omega on night two of DBDVII if he successfully retains on night one. Phone calls to the ROH World Champion went unanswered over the weekend.
July 20th: Claudio Castagnoli has been adamant to ROH officials that his ‘European Rules’ match against Brent Albright on Saturday night will signify an end to Albright. Brent, on the other hand, is ready for war. “I know Claudio thinks he’s got everything stacked against me in this match. But I don’t care, I’m gunning for him and he’s got to think about that every minute of every day. It doesn’t matter what the rules are, Claudio, my very American foot is once again gonna be up your very European ass.”

July 20th: “That Young Knockout Kid” Chris Hero has had a lot to say recently, and now, some of his fervor is directed at KENTA. Last weekend on HDNet, Hero and the American Wolves did battle in a tremendous match against Kevin Steen, El Generico, and KENTA, and things got heated at points between Hero and KENTA. “KENTA is a great wrestler,” said Hero. “There’s no debate there. But having faced him several times, I KNOW I am better. Soon or later, I want KENTA and I want him one-on-one.” R OH officials are in contact with Pro Wrestling NOAH representatives to see what can be done. We’ll update as more information becomes available. To watch the tremendous 6 Man tag from last week’s episode, check out http://www.youtube.com/user/ROHBrazil on Wednesday !
