RING OF HONOR NEWSWIRE: DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR WEEKEND, JAPAN, CAGED RAGE AND MORE
By ROH Wrestling on 7/10/2007 9:53 PM
July 11th: We have a major development for the Philadelphia Street Fight scheduled for "Death Before Dishonor V: Night 2" on August 11th in Philly. At the time this match was set, Austin Aries was not a part of the ROH roster. Now that Aries has signed with ROH he wants to get his hands on the No Remorse Corps of Roderick Strong, Davey Richards & Rocky Romero. As leader of The Resilience, Aries has been given the option of bumping Delirious from the bout so he can team with Resilience members Erick Stevens & Matt Cross in this no rules match. However, Aries knows that Delirious also wants to get his hands on the NRC, especially in Philadelphia. Aries has challenged the NRC to find a fourth teammate for what promises to be a wild and violent brawl. It didn't take long for the NRC to reach a deal with Larry Sweeney for Matt Sydal to be in this match. Of course, Sydal has past issues with Delirious and Aries so he is more than happy to join the NRC for one night only in Philadelphia. ROH officials have decided not to sanction this bout so that these two teams can really fight it out. August 11th in Philadelphia will see Aries, Delirious, Stevens & Cross vs. Strong, Romero, Richards & Sydal in a Non-Sanctioned Philadelphia Street Fight. This gives this year's "Death Before Dishonor" a theme of non-sanctioned street fights as night 1 in Boston will see Jay & Mark Briscoe vs. Kevin Steen & El Generico in a Non-Title Non-Sanctioned Boston Street Fight. Tickets are now on sale for both shows at ROHwrestling.com and by calling 215-781-2500.
July 11th: The next bracket for the "Race To The Top" tournament on July 27th in Long Island and July 28th in Edison has been announced. These matches will take place in Long Island with the winners meeting in Edison:

Those who have seen "Respect Is Earned" are giving it rave reviews. Here is what they are saying:
"If you are looking for a show to lose yourself for two hours and remind you why you first fell in love with wrestling, this is where you want to be. A great debut and I can't recommend ordering this show strongly enough. If all goes well for ROH, a new crew of superstars are about to be unleashed on the United States." - Mike Johnson on PWInsider.com
"I just watched the Respect is Earned PPV. It is the first time I had even sampled the ROH product and now I am hooked. Every match kept me on the end of my seat especially the Briscoes match; those guys are just awesome." - Kevin Buckler on PWInsiderXTRA.com
"Count me in as one of the people watching ROH for the first time tonight. All I can say is wow! What a show." - Tom Mehs on PWInsiderXTRA.com
"Easy thumbs up" - J.D. Dunn on 411mania.com
"Awesome show for ten bucks all who can order should order. That is all." - F4Wonline.com message board
