What They’re Saying
With a win-or-go-home stipulation added to the tag tournament, former ECW world champion and Ring of Honor star Steve Corino is ready for the biggest weekend of his life:
Most important week of my career. #WinOrGoHome Saturday for @ringofhonor in Chicago, IL and then Mexico Sunday for IWL vs. El Canek!

It is still unclear what match he will sit in on—Steen vs. Rhino—but WWE and TNA star Matt Hardy will be in attendance to eye up his future opponent:
I WILL be at @ringofhonor's PPV, I'll be doing a signing & have FULL access to the locker room & talent. Extremely interested in 1 match..

Ring Rust Radio shares the feeling among many indy wrestling fans that this show could be one of Ring of Honor’s best over the last two years:
@ringofhonor's Death Before Dishonor iPPV will be great! Steen vs Rhino in the main event, the tag tournament, Matt Hardy & more???? #EPIC

Main-Event Preview and Prediction
ROH World Champion Kevin Steen vs. "The Man Beast" Rhino
If you haven’t been watching Ring of Honor lately, you have been missing one of the best wrestling stars in the business running roughshod through the competition.
His name is Kevin Steen, and he is Ring of Honor's world heavyweight champion.
ROH is a breeding ground for the best in the world, and Steen is following in the footsteps of the great champions like CM Punk, Samoa Joe and Bryan Danielson that came before him. Now he is paving his own way, but a wrestling legend named Rhino stands in his way.
In what should be an excellent litmus test for how great the ROH champ really is, the in-ring war between Rhino and Steen will be amazing. If these two put on the kind of show everyone knows they can, this could be the defining moment in Steen’s current title run.
Prediction: Kevin Steen retains.
Undercard Match to Watch
Tag Team Title Tournament
While tournaments in wrestling are a staple, the idea of a tag team tournament with the stipulation that the losers go home without a job is intense. With so much on the line, each man will not only be fighting for a shot at the gold, he will be fighting for his livelihood.
The teams are S.C.U.M. (Jimmy Jacobs and Steve Corino), Cedric Alexander and Caprice Coleman, Rhett Titus and Charlie Haas and the Briscoe Brothers.
As much as this looks like an easy win for the greatest tag team of the last decade—The Briscoe Brothers—there is a surprise team that could steal the whole show: S.C.U.M.
With Kevin Steen as the world champion, what better way to get over his heel stable than by allowing Corino and Jacobs to steal the titles in the final match against the Briscoe Brothers?
Not only would it prove S.C.U.M.’s talent, it would start a tag feud that would restore the division to prominence.
Prediction: Steve Corino and Jimmy Jacobs win gold.
