More ROH news!

- May 11th Newswire: As announced this morning on the main page, Lance Storm is making his return to Ring of Honor (http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/article.aspx?id=2767)! He will wrestle during both events when ROH returns to Toronto on July 24th and 25th! ROH officials are working diligently to find two matches that will showcase Storm's incredible talents. Tickets are on sale now for these events at www.rohwrestling.com, and they will be known as "Death Before Dishonor VII: Legends Edition"! Don't miss out on this historic weekend that already includes appearances by Bret "Hitman" Hart and "Nature Boy" Ric Flair.

- One of our biggest sales to ever take place at ROHWrestling.com is back. You can now save 35-40% Off Your Next Order. Don't delay as time is running out. Full details on the sale, along with the discount codes can be found here: http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/article.aspx?id=2767.

- The Super Smash Brothers made a great impression on both the ROH fans and officials in both Boston and Edison; receiving "Please come back" chants from the ROH faithful. We are pleased to announce that they indeed will come back – and as part of Death Before Dishonor VII! They will be in action on July 24th and 25th in Toronto!

- HDNet cameras were in the house last Friday night in Boston, filming for several upcoming commercials as well as the first installments of "the Art of Pro Wrestling", with your host, Colt "Boom Boom" Cabana! Coming soon to ROH on HDNet!

- Sonjay Dutt did not disappoint in Boston or Edison either. The charismatic veteran had two excellent showings despite coming up short on both nights, and to that end, has been added to the two big events on June 12th in Manassas and June 13th in New York City! Don't forget that ROH Ambassador Ric Flair will also be in attendance on both nights! We'll have Dutt's opponents soon right here in the Newswire!

- Claudio Castagnoli and his associates in The Embassy certainly haven't made any friends, and you can now add the Necro Butcher to their list of enemies after this past weekend. It seemed that Jimmy Rave was most disgusted by him. He took every opportunity to insult Necro by repeatedly spitting in his face. And while it was obvious to everyone that Jimmy wanted no part of Necro physically, he threw the first "punch" with his disgusting display. We'll have more on this as it develops.

- Also announced this morning is the second of 6 main events that will take place when HDNet crews return to Philadelphia on May 29th and 30th to film 6 more weeks of "Ring of Honor Wrestling on HDNet". The main page article says it all (http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/article.aspx?id=2768), it will be Roderick Strong versus Jay Briscoe in Philly! Jay came within eyelashes of winning the ROH World Title in Edison, and Roddy has been on fire since returning from Pro Wrestling NOAH. Friendly rivalries are great, but this one has been off the hook! Fans in St. Louis and Markham, Ontario can attest – you don't want to miss this one! Plus, KENTA and "Nature Boy" Ric Flair! Tickets are on sale now!

- Just released and in stock is "Steel City Clash" from Elizabeth, PA from March 20th. This event features GHC Jr. Champion KENTA & El Generico vs. ROH World Champion Nigel McGuinness & Davey Richards; Tyler Black & Necro Butcher vs. Jimmy Jacobs & Brodie Lee in a Falls Count Anywhere Match; Roderick Strong vs. Austin Aries; Bryan Danielson vs. Mike Quackenbush; plus more.
