Phantom Stranger Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Congratulations in order on Cult, man! The TV deal and US invasion are both over-time projects, really, as one needs to be built up to while the other one needs your overness built up. Hopefully, though, it'll all fall into place eventually... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeypox Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Cult! Awesome! I check in on this dynasty from time to time, and your ratings have absolutely skyrocketed. There are a lot of different styles of writing on this board, but I'm going to give you the nod for intelligent booking. You do a lot with (I've always thought of, at least) an uninspiring roster. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Svensson was put in at the deep end last year, wrestling high profile matches quickly and getting Talisman title shots.

Since moving into the singles ranks, he has shown great skill and innovative moves. Henderson meanwhile has been a very solid Talisman champion, defending against first Billy Robinson and then Kevin Jones, including a best of 3 falls defence last month. Gauge is young and hungry, but Henderson is more experienced and will not want to lose his title.

Last month he wrestled in the triple threat main event following a singles win over the injured UK Dragon. He gave a great performance but was ultimately defeated, much to the annoyance of fellow participant JD Morgan. The Dean of Submissions wanted Robinson one-on-one to at least gain the satisfaction of beating him. He has his wish – but will Robinson add Morgan to his list of big-name scalps?[/I] [IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k225/MarcelFromage/ROF/Wrestler%20Pics/WarriorsofHonour.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k225/MarcelFromage/ROF/Wrestler%20Pics/VSborder3.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k225/MarcelFromage/ROF/Wrestler%20Pics/InjusticeROF.jpg[/IMG] [U][FONT="Georgia"][SIZE="3"]ROF Tag Team Titles[/SIZE][/FONT][/U] [FONT="Century Gothic"][SIZE="3"]Warriors of Honour © vs Injustice[/SIZE][/FONT] [I]Last month Injustice felt…well, an injustice took place as they believed Eric Future got his shoulder up before the 3 count took place in their title bout. Now they get a second chance straight away to win the belts. Future and Adams have impressed as a team so far and showed last month that they can give the Warriors of Honour a real match. But the Warriors came out on top last time, and will believe the same can happen again.[/I] [IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k225/MarcelFromage/ROF/Wrestler%20Pics/AdamMatraversROF.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k225/MarcelFromage/ROF/Wrestler%20Pics/VSborder.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k225/MarcelFromage/ROF/Wrestler%20Pics/UKDragonROF.jpg[/IMG] [FONT="Century Gothic"][SIZE="3"]Adam Matravers vs UK Dragon[/SIZE][/FONT] [I]Match number 3 for these two exciting athletes. They met at Dying Embers last month and were involved in a double count-out following a draw in their first match at the back end of 2009. Matravers is still looking to beat Dragon to establish himself as a major player in ROF, whilst Dragon is desperate to get back into the hunt for the ROF Championship, and a win over a big name like Matravers will help him in that quest. Which of the talented stars will take the win here? Surely a 3rd draw can’t happen.

He has been here before – at Ashes to Ashes in January he faced O’Curle for the title and, although he didn’t win, would not give in to O’Curle’s patented Celtic Wreath submission. O’Curle will not only want to retain his belt, but will want that submission victory as he sees a pinfall victory almost like a tainted win. Will that idealistic approach let the skilful Morgan in for that much anticipated first ROF Championship?[/I] _______________________________[/CENTER] [B]ROF Fan The Flames – May 2010[/B] Hugh de Aske vs Nigel Svensson [U]ROF Talisman Title[/U] Don Henderson © vs Matt Gauge Billy Robinson vs JD Morgan [U]ROF Tag Team Titles[/U] Warriors of Honour © vs Injustice Adam Matravers vs UK Dragon [U]ROF Championship[/U] Merle O’Curle © vs Walter Morgan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they get another relatively new team in Can-Am SAS, who may just present their biggest challenge yet.

However, since a good early run, Svensson has looked impressive in matches but has made errors that have cost him victories.

Eventually Future got a new partner in Keith Adams and formed Injustice, whilst Barnes and Matravers fought them as a pair and in singles action. Since then the Show Stealers have gone their separate ways, but are now reuniting full time as a team thanks to fan support. Injustice have shown themselves to be a dangerous team though, almost winning the tag titles over the past couple of months.[/I] [IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k225/MarcelFromage/ROF/Wrestler%20Pics/BillyRobinson2ROF.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k225/MarcelFromage/ROF/Wrestler%20Pics/VSborder.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k225/MarcelFromage/ROF/Wrestler%20Pics/UKDragonROF.jpg[/IMG] [FONT="Century Gothic"][SIZE="3"]Billy Robinson vs UK Dragon[/SIZE][/FONT] [I]Back at Combustion, Billy Robinson scored possibly the biggest win of his career when he upset former ROF champion UK Dragon. Dragon was injured and fatigued at the time, which he claims is the reason for the defeat. Robinson has not been able to capitalise on that victory, losing on the last two major shows. Dragon meanwhile has bounced back with victory over Adam Matravers. Now the two meet again, with Dragon determined to show Robinson’s win was a fluke, and Robinson desperate to show he belongs in the main event.[/I] [IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k225/MarcelFromage/ROF/Wrestler%20Pics/MerleOCurleROF.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k225/MarcelFromage/ROF/Wrestler%20Pics/VSborder2.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k225/MarcelFromage/ROF/Wrestler%20Pics/JDMorganROF-1.jpg[/IMG] [U][FONT="Georgia"][SIZE="3"]ROF Championship[/SIZE][/FONT][/U] [FONT="Century Gothic"][SIZE="3"]Merle O’Curle © vs JD Morgan[/SIZE][/FONT] [I]Another potential classic in the making as O’Curle and Morgan go at it one-on-one again. Back in February, the Celtic Crippler squeezed out a win over the Dean of Submissions in their last singles match together. But Morgan also lost out in a triple threat match at Dying Embers, although it wasn’t him that was defeated. On the wrong side of 40, Morgan realises that he may not have too many more title opportunities, and wants to make the most of this one.

Beeker Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Mucho del Kudos on achieving cult. (That's a patented Spanish-Burning Hammer congratulations yanno.) That might have been your best top-to-bottom card you've done in RoF. No A rated MotY candidates, but nothing to drag down the rating at all. When your worst match is a C rated affair in the opener between de Aske and Svensson then you know you've got something good going. As for the Warriors of Honor and Injustice (which is a feud that really just writes itself) pulling a B- I just want to know who did heavy lifting there? It would appeard Adams took some flight lessons from Eric. Poor Walt... I think his time is past. :( Svensson could easily be your next huge find. And O'Curle just seems to keep on crippling people. In a good way of course. And bonus grins for Hoshino's Frozen Smile. *** Here now some predictions... [B]ROF Great Balls of Fire – June 2010[/B] ROF Tag Team Titles [B]Warriors of Honour ©[/B] vs Can-Am SAS - I don't see the SAS taking the titles in their first shot and first time on the big stage. And I think Injustice/WoH has more storyline goodness ahead of them. ROF Talisman Title – Best of 5 Series Don Henderson © vs [B]Matt Gauge[/B] - non-title so the upstart offspring of Sam Keith picks up an early lead. [B]Nigel Svensson[/B] vs Walter Morgan - I like Walt but I just said I think his time may be past AND Svensson could be a huge star. So I'll go with Svensson here. [B]Injustice[/B] vs The Show Stealers - for the reasons the Warriors retain, Injustice wins here as the Show Stealers aren't as cohesive as Future/Adams. Billy Robinson vs [B]UK Dragon[/B] - A Dragon's Revenge on the early job. Setting up a nice upper-midcard feud that could solidify Robinson's spot in the Main Event region. ROF Championship [B]Merle O’Curle ©[/B] vs JD Morgan - O'Curle likes his long reigns, has had JD's number and Morgan's age works against him as O'Curle will drop this title but not until much closer to resetting his reign-record. (Either he drops it just before matching it OR he can blast right through it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan the Flames was a decent show, although the lack of A grade main event pulled it down to B overall. Almost all my main shows are now getting B+ or B, which is good. I think Combustion (for me) probably topped this one as the best show so far, as it also had nothing below a C and the main was an A. I was pleased with the Warriors/Injustice rating. I'm trying to build the tag division back up and am pleased with some of the teams there now. As for the match, Samurai is the key man. Always get a road agent note saying how he looked good. Plus, the Warriors have decent chemistry together. And Future and Adams are both improving their skills. Walter - I wouldn't say his time is past. He's still only mid-30s and he's one of my most reliable for ratings. He's a good nearly man though. As for Svensson, I'm sure he'll be a big player in the months and years to come.

Here's their ROF record since joining... beat Absolutely Flawless C- beat Sharp & Heath D+ beat Casey Valentine & Sander Laine D+ beat Sharp & Heath D+ beat Sharp & Heath D+ beat Absolutely Flawless C- drew with Par Excellence C- beat High and Low C- beat Sharp & Heath D+ beat Sharp & Heath D+ beat High and Low C beat Blue Chip Blondes C beat Par Excellence C beat High and Low C Of course, me saying that doesn't necessarily mean I'm trying to justify them winning against the Warriors at Great Balls of Fire! :p But now getting consistent C ratings and wins against the second tier teams means, like you said, it's worth chancing them on the big show against the champs. [QUOTE]Nigel Svensson vs Walter Morgan Svensson's 'education' continues.....though too many losses are starting to make Svensson look like a glorified jobber, so something will need to happen after this match. Either he starts to learn from his mistakes or he snaps, turns heel and develops a ruthless streak. Injustice vs The Show Stealers Injustice's gimmick seems to be that they are a pair of whiners who blame everyone else whenever they lose except for themselves, so I think their frustrations continue here. [/QUOTE] turn heel?...gimmick?...we don't have those sort of things in ROF...do we? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We hope these difficulties have now been sorted out.[/B][/SIZE] [IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k225/MarcelFromage/ROF/Wrestler%20Pics/HeatofBattle10.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k225/MarcelFromage/ROF/Wrestler%20Pics/JDMorganROF-1.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k225/MarcelFromage/ROF/Wrestler%20Pics/VSborder.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k225/MarcelFromage/ROF/Wrestler%20Pics/RollingJohnnyStonesROF.jpg[/IMG] [FONT="Century Gothic"][SIZE="3"]JD Morgan vs Rolling Johnny Stones[/SIZE][/FONT] [I]Two great technicians and ring veterans will open the show as both go looking for the win that will again elevate them to the main event. Morgan was an unlucky loser in last month’s title match, putting in a great performance. Stones hasn’t been seen on the major shows since his defeat to Walter Morgan at Dying Embers in April. This match promises to be a great start to the show and either man could realistically come out on top.[/I] [IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k225/MarcelFromage/ROF/Wrestler%20Pics/WarriorsofHonour.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k225/MarcelFromage/ROF/Wrestler%20Pics/VSborder3.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k225/MarcelFromage/ROF/Wrestler%20Pics/Can-AmSASROF-1.jpg[/IMG] [U][FONT="Georgia"][SIZE="3"]ROF Tag Team Titles[/SIZE][/FONT][/U] [FONT="Century Gothic"][SIZE="3"]Warriors of Honour © vs Can-Am SAS[/SIZE][/FONT] [I]Last month these teams met for the first time, and the match ended inconclusively in a double count-out. That meant that the Warriors retained their tag titles, but also meant that Can-Am SAS continued their undefeated record since forming as a team here in ROF. Now the teams meet again. Can Warriors inflict the first defeat on Nelson and Coleman, or will the cross-atlantic duo become tag team champions for the first time?[/I] [IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k225/MarcelFromage/ROF/Wrestler%20Pics/DonHendersonROF.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k225/MarcelFromage/ROF/Wrestler%20Pics/VSborder4-1.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k225/MarcelFromage/ROF/Wrestler%20Pics/MattGaugeROF.jpg[/IMG] [FONT="Georgia"][SIZE="3"][U]ROF Talisman Title – Best of 5 Series[/U][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT="Century Gothic"][SIZE="3"]Don Henderson © vs Matt Gauge[/SIZE][/FONT] [I]Don Henderson beat Matt Gauge last month at Great Balls of Fire in the first match of the their best of 5 series. Since then, Gauge has struck back with a win on the first Short Fuse of July, only for Henderson to retake the lead in the series with a win on last week’s Short Fuse. Standing at 2-1 to the Scot, Gauge must win this match to keep the series – and his hopes of winning the Talisman title – alive. Can he pull off the win, or will the Highland Hitman gun down another victim?[/I] [IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k225/MarcelFromage/ROF/Wrestler%20Pics/HughdeAskeROF.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k225/MarcelFromage/ROF/Wrestler%20Pics/VSborder.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k225/MarcelFromage/ROF/Wrestler%20Pics/KevinJonesROF.jpg[/IMG] [FONT="Century Gothic"][SIZE="3"]Hugh de Aske vs Kevin Jones[/SIZE][/FONT] [I]This is a battle for position in the ROF midcard. Jones has been a reliable performer for quite some time now, often challenging for the Talisman belt but unable to take the step further and win the belt. However he wants another shot at the gold, and a win over Hugh de Aske would go some way towards earning another shot. But de Aske is no easy match. He is undefeated in singles competition and put paid to Johnny Highspot in last month’s dark match, as well as Nigel Svensson the month before. De Aske is on a roll. Can Jones stop him?[/I] [IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k225/MarcelFromage/ROF/Wrestler%20Pics/NigelSvenssonROF.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k225/MarcelFromage/ROF/Wrestler%20Pics/VSborder.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k225/MarcelFromage/ROF/Wrestler%20Pics/WalterMorganROF.jpg[/IMG] [FONT="Century Gothic"][SIZE="3"]Nigel Svensson vs Walter Morgan[/SIZE][/FONT] [I]Svensson pulled out a major upset last month. Taking on mentor Walter Morgan in an attempt to eradicate the mistakes that have been affecting his in-ring performances, Svensson actually turned the tables on the more experienced man and got a victory. Now the two men will meet again, with Morgan determined to show that his slip was simply a one-off. For Svensson it is another chance to further his in-ring progress and another win would give him career lift-off.[/I] [IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k225/MarcelFromage/ROF/Wrestler%20Pics/MerleOCurleROF.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k225/MarcelFromage/ROF/Wrestler%20Pics/VSborder2.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k225/MarcelFromage/ROF/Wrestler%20Pics/UKDragonROF.jpg[/IMG] [FONT="Georgia"][SIZE="3"][U]ROF Championship[/U][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT="Century Gothic"][SIZE="3"]Merle O’Curle © vs UK Dragon[/SIZE][/FONT] [I]These two ROF originals meet once more with the ROF title on the line. O’Curle is in the midst of his 2nd reign with the title, whilst Dragon has held the belt on 2 previous occasions. Their matches are always hard fought and tight to call. Dragon suffered a blip earlier this year, partly due to injury and his busy schedule, but has bounced back with singles wins over tough opponents in Billy Robinson and Adam Matravers. Can he win the ROF Championship though against possibly the most dominant champion in ROF’s history?[/I] ______________________________[/CENTER] [B]ROF Heat of Battle – July 2010[/B] JD Morgan vs Rolling Johnny Stones [U]ROF Tag Team Titles[/U] Warriors of Honour © vs Can-Am SAS [U]ROF Talisman Title – Best of 5 Series[/U] Don Henderson © vs Matt Gauge Hugh de Aske vs Kevin Jones Nigel Svensson vs Walter Morgan [U]ROF Championship[/U] Merle O’Curle © vs UK Dragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
