With all respect to the other solid contenders, this is in my mind the unquestionable (unofficial) ROH fed of the quarter. The attention to detail and continuity is top rate.

Truth Martini Has Another Monster for Elgin in Toronto!
Toronto is Michael Elgin's hometown, and Elgin has said he wants to put the House of Truth to an end in his hometown. Recently, Elgin was defeated by Truth Martini's new muscle, Sid Justice. Elgin has said he will deal with Sid at a later date, because he wants Truth in Toronto.
Problem is, Truth Martini has a new mercenary to take on Elgin and he's, dare we say, Awesome:
That's right, the six-foot-six monster will make his official ROH debut in Toronto against Toronto's own Michael Elgin! Awesome has spent most of his time in Japan wrestling as the Gladiator, and is one of the most feared wrestlers to lace up a pair of boots. His brute force and lack of regard for his opponents have lead him to several championships in his career.
But is it enough for him to take down an angry Michael Elgin? We'll find out in Toronto!
Card #15; "Death Before Dishonor II": Toronto, ONT:
Anything Goes Match: Davey Richards, Homicide, Jay and Mark Briscoe vs. Sami Callihan  , Masada , Drake Younger and Danny Havoc
ROH Pure Wrestling Championship: Adam Cole with Mia Yim (ch) vs. Kyle O'Reilly
Final Battle Rematch: Bryan Danielson vs. Mike Quackenbush
Michael Elgin vs. Mike Awesome with Truth Martini

ROH vs. CZW series signed PLUS a Japanese Superstar will make his ROH Debut in Toronto!
As we've noted previously, ROH is looking to end the war with CZW in Toronto, and we've asked CZW to send even more of their top talent to once and for all prove who the dominant promotion is. The end result is several more huge matches being signed for one of our biggest shows ever!
First up, we have Rhino vs. CZW owner DJ Hyde. Rhino has guaranteed ROH management that Hyde would be dealt with once and for all. Next is S.C.U.M. vs. Philly's Most Wanted, then El Generico vs. AR Fox, Tommaso Ciampa vs. Drew Gulak and finally, Roderick Strong vs. Greg Excellent. ROH is confident we will win this series and end the conflict with CZW this weekend in Toronto!
But in other huge news, New Japan Pro Wrestling is sending their top young star to Ring of Honor for a huge bonus match! "Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada will make his return to the Toronto area to take on TJ Perkins! Okada wrestled in Canada years ago for the UWA promotion based near Toronto as part of a Toryumon vs. UWA showcase weekend. Since then, Okada has won not only the IWGP Heavyweight Championship, but New Japan's prestigious G1 Climax tournament!
This is going to be a huge event, so don't miss out when we head to Toronto this weekend for Death Before Dishonor II!

The American Wolf meets Wrestling's Worst Nightmare and the House of Truth explodes in Atlanta!:
As announced on our last DVD release, Davey Richards' next title defense will be when Honor Takes Center Stage in Atlanta and his opponent will be none other than Kevin Steen! This is Steen's third shot at the title, having challenged Roderick Strong twice last year, once in a three way match with El Generico. Steen is determined to end the reign of Davey Richards in Atlanta, but is the Package Piledriver going to be enough to down The American Wolf?
Michael Elgin defeated Truth Martini's newest assassin, Mike Awesome, in Toronto. Elgin has made no mistake about his intentions this year in ROH: He wants to eliminate the House of Truth. In Atlanta, Elgin takes on Roderick Strong who comes not only with Truth Martini in his corner, but with the near seven-foot-tall Sid Justice!
Also, as some of you may already have guessed, the ROH-CZW conflict is far from over. In fact, the results of the show in Toronto have intensified the war more than anything else! In Atlanta, Steve Corino and Jimmy Jacobs will do battle with DJ Hyde and Greg Excellent!
Stay tuned for more updates on ROH's huge debut show in Atlanta!
Card #16; "Honor Takes Center Stage": Atlanta, GA:
ROH World Championship: Davey Richards (ch) vs. Kevin Steen
Roderick Strong with Sid Justice and Truth Martini vs. Michael Elgin
Steve Corino and Jimmy Jacobs vs. DJ Hyde and Greg Excellent

A Tag Title War and O'Reilly vs. Fox Rounds Out Our Atlanta Debut!
The ROH/CZW war has consumed much of this year for ROH, and there seems to be no end in sight. CZW have targeted all of our championships, and managed to steal one. In Atlanta, they will send two of their best in Sami Callihan and Drake Younger to take the ROH World Tag Team Championship from the Briscoes.
The interesting thing about this match is that Younger and Callihan, well, they flat out hate each other. Will this get in the way of their pursuit of the Tag Titles?
Recently, AR Fox made some comments on Twitter attacking O'Reilly and O'Reilly felt that his response was best handed to Fox in the middle of the ring.
"You can't go saying things on the internet and expect there to be no fallout", said O'Reilly to ROHWrestling.com. "If he wants to talk a bunch of crap, I'll gladly make him back it up in Atlanta, or wherever."
This is the final match announced for our big Atlanta show this weekend. Who will come out on top?
Card #16; "Honor Takes Center Stage": Atlanta, GA:
ROH World Championship: Davey Richards (ch) vs. Kevin Steen
ROH Pure Wrestling Championship: Adam Cole with Mia Yim (ch) vs. El Generico
ROH World Tag Team Championship: Jay and Mark Briscoe vs. Sami Callihan and Drake Younger
Roderick Strong with Sid Justice and Truth Martini vs. Michael Elgin
Steve Corino and Jimmy Jacobs vs. DJ Hyde and Greg Excellent
Kyle O'Reilly vs. AR Fox
Laughter7 of Katsuyori Shibata and Kazushi Sakuraba vs. Wrestling's Greatest Tag Team of Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin
Rhett Titus and Willie Mack vs. The Young Bucks of Nick and Matt Jackson

Cole mentions that he's the only guy in ROH that Davey Richards has faced, and not beaten. Cole says he went an hour with the champion, and there's no way Generico is leaving Atlanta with the title.
[PRESHOW] Nigel McGuinness announces the show in Reseda, saying that the Tag Team Champions, whomever they may be, will defend the titles against the team of Navajo Warrior and Hawaiian Lion, The Tribe.
1.) Roderick Strong with Sid Justice and Truth Martini beat Michael Elgin in 17:30 with a Sick Kick while Sid held Elgin's feet down from outside. [**3/4]

[INTERMISSION] Kevin Steen cuts a promo saying that he was robbed out of his first two ROH World Championship shots. He says that he had to come all the way to this hellhole in Georgia to get a fair shot, and that the third time is the charm.
[INTERMISSION] Nigel McGuinness announces that at the next show, Laughter 7 will take on Rhett Titus and Willie Mack with the winning team getting a tag team championship match in Detroit on the show before Final Battle.

O'Reilly says he wants Championship gold, be it tag team, the Pure title again, or the World Title. He says by the end of next year, he will be a champion.
[INTERMISSION] DJ Hyde says that this ROH/CZW thing is far from over. CZW won't stop until they have put ROH to death.

[POST MATCH] Adam Cole sets up the Panama Sunrise, but Eddie Edwards makes his return to ROH, fighting off Adam Cole. This marks the first time we've seen Edwards since "Hell Freezes Over" in Vorhees, NJ. Edwards gets a microphone and vows revenge on Cole.

8.) ROH World Championship: Davey Richards (ch) beat Kevin Steen in 22:33 with the Ankle Lock. [***1/2]
After the match, Joker and BLK Jeez attack Kevin Steen as he's being helped by referees. They take chairs to Steen's legs until El Generico runs in with a chair to make the save. Generico and Steen have a staredown to end the DVD.
