- Words were exchanged a couple of days ago between Kevin Steen and Davey Richards stemming from Steen and Generico's victory over the Wolves last Saturday night in Chicago. Steen made reference to Wolves not hunting so well on their own, and Richards quipped that he wouldn't be alone in Toronto. We now know why he said that. Signed for July 24th on night one of "Death Before Dishonor VII" is a humongous tag team grudge match. Davey Richards has signed to team with long time stable mate, "That Young Knockout Kid" Chris Hero, to take on Kevin Steen and his partner for the evening, Lance Storm! Storm was eager to accept this match, as he's looking for any excuse to get his hands on Hero, and Steen couldn't think of a better way to get his hands on Richards AND help avenge his countryman at the same time! Don't forget, Bret "Hitman" Hart will be on hand for this one! Tickets for this big event are available at www.rohwrestling.com!

- The Super Smash Brothers took a huge gamble when they signed to face Mark and Jay Briscoe on July 24th in Toronto. Not only are they hoping to turn even more heads, but they're banking on "Death Before Dishonor VII" to make their ROH careers. And now the road gets even tougher for the young Canadian duo. Signed for July 25th -Night 2 of DBDVII - is a contest pitting the Super Smash Brothers against the team that they have grown to idolize, former ROH World Tag Team Champions, Kevin Steen and El Generico! "I see the hunger inside them," said Steen. "They want it so bad, but I've got to be honest, taking on the Briscoes and Generico and I on back-to-back nights is crazy. It just goes to show how badly they want it, how far they're willing to go. We respect them, but now we have to show them what Canadian tag team wrestling is all about." It'll be two of Canada's finest tag team exports going head to head on July 25th! Get your tickets now!
- Ring of Honor wishes everyone a happy and safe Independence Day! ROH on HDNet is preempted this weekend, but will return on July 11th with a brand new episode! Happy Fourth of July to all!
