If for some reason you need more hype for this match, check out this video and see what the buzz is all about!!!

- The World Tag Team Championship will be on the line in Toronto, and the plot is thickening. As fans will see this coming Monday on HDNet, the Kings of Wrestling may have stooped to their lowest levels, bringing the father of the Briscoe Brothers into their game of chess. Mike Briscoe was the target of Chris Hero’s insults at the last television tapings, and as everyone will see this Monday, things got out of control in a hurry. Executive Producer Jim Cornette was on hand for the disgusting events and had some pointed and extremely heated comments of his own for the KoW. Those comments will be a part of next week’s ROH Videowire as we roll toward 6/19. Suffice it to say, this war is just starting!

- Speaking of the Kings, Claudio Castagnoli is ready for the World Cup. Check out his own World Cup Commercial and let Claudio know who you think will win it all at http://twitter.com/ccastagnoli.

- Nothing that hasn’t already been said needs to be said. Kevin Steen and El Generico will meet at ‘Death Before Dishonor VIII’, and the aftermath of that bout could send both men into a torment that neither has faced. What will happen when these two former best friends lock horns one-on-one in their home country? Take a look at this footage from back in January after Final Battle and listen to Kevin Steen tell you himself why he turned his back on El Generico. They say that bad blood boils hot, but in this case, who will be the one getting burned? And when the match is over, will anything have been solved?

- Just signed for Ring of Honor’s return to Collinsville, IL and Chicago on July 23rd and 24th: Jerry Lynn, Kevin Steen, Austin Aries, Current ROH World Tag Team Champion Claudio Castagnoli, The Necro Butcher and Erick Stevens of the Embassy, and ROH World Television Champion Eddie Edwards.
