[QUOTE=Shmoe;407217]This diary is still a classic. Marcel, I don't know how you knock out the shows so quickly, but I'm glad Morgan didn't win the belt. I'm not a huge fan of Manico either (mainly because of his self serving conduct in UCR) but rather him than Walter. Anyway, isn't Walter a 70 year olds name? I say shock us all with the next title win. I don't want to see the usual suspects with the exception of Giedroyc. Give us a title win we don't see coming.[/QUOTE] Thanks for the compliment. I'm reticent to do that with the main title, simply because I need A and A* matches from my PPV main events and there are only a handful of workers I know can guarantee me that. I'm trying to build others up to make the top end of the card more interesting, but it's a long process. [QUOTE=Apupunchau@optonline;407240]Except for Chinese philosophy were there are five elements and earth is replaced by Wood and Metal. But yeah CLassical Greek (or western) as well as Japanese uses the basic four elements and usually a fifth (Aether in Western, void in Japanese and the sixth for Chinese is Qi)[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Phantom Stranger;407244]I've also seen Earth stay in in (I believe) a Taoist variant where Metal was rejected.[/QUOTE] God, I'm away from the computer for a day and suddenly the thread degenerates into philosophical ramblings. Glad I've given you all the opportunity to flex your intellectual muscle! :D [QUOTE=Beeker;407138]That's old news. I broke that story a prediction ago. :D Now I think it's Ash Campbell. Where better to debut for Ash than on Ashes to Ashes! Great write-up as ever Marcel. Who's Mat Raver? *** Edit: Oops, I suppose I could have read an interview with Mild High Matravers before posting. :P *** 2nd Edit: That might be the most RoF Swerve Tastic Shock Tastic card in your booking regime Marcel! You often don't average three run-ins a year, let alone in one night. (I'm giving Duane Stone an honorary run-in nod.[/QUOTE] Yep, that's it Beek. Ash Campbell debuted at Ashes to Ashes. I've got Bradley Blaze lined up for Blaze of Glory. Generated worker Colin Combustion to come in at Combustion. And Dying Embers...is where the angle dies on its arse. Actually, I shouldn't joke...it's probably a better idea than the one I'm going with! :p Don't much like run-ins in ROF, but couldn't think of a better way to do it. Could be the new ROF slogan for 2014. 'ROF - where run-ins are like buses. You wait for years and then 3 come along at once'. Oh, and yeah...read all my spouting before you post in future, dammit! :D [QUOTE=DannyDemon;407381]Sorry I missed Ashes marcel, bit of a prediction following beeker, Earth had a match so did Wind, Fire & Air interfeare for a nice 4 man stable?[/QUOTE] ;)

Having downed Petey Barnes and won the Pyromania 4-way, Byron last month inflicted the first ROF singles defeat on Sergei Kalashnov. Now another member of the 4-way gets his opportunity. Joey Beauchamp still yearns a title reign after becoming a bit of a nearly man in ROF. And he knows Byron well after their years in UCR. Beauchamp may never get a better chance, but Byron is a wily veteran who always seems to have a trick up his sleeve.[/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/VSborder.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k225/MarcelFromage/ROF/Wrestler%20Pics/MaskedMan.jpg[/IMG] [FONT="Century Gothic"][SIZE="3"]Don Henderson vs Masked Man[/SIZE][/FONT] [I]Don Henderson might have thought his career was on the up-turn. After beating Adam Matravers at Pyromania, Henderson looked to consolidate and build on his momentum against Rolling Johnny Stones at Ashes to Ashes. However his chances were spoiled by the interference of a masked individual. Although this interference was obviously not wanted by Stones, he capitalised to win. Henderson now finds himself down the pecking order, but has a one-on-one match with the masked man to try and exact some form of revenge.[/I] [IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k225/MarcelFromage/ROF/Wrestler%20Pics/WrathofGodROF.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][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="Georgia"][SIZE="3"][U]Triple Threat Contenders Match[/U][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT="Century Gothic"][SIZE="3"]Jack Giedroyc vs Rolling Johnny Stones vs Walter Morgan[/SIZE][/FONT] [I]The top 3 contenders not in tonight’s ROF title match meet up here to try and determine who should receive the next shot. Walter Morgan wrestled against the champion last month in a losing effort and will want to quickly earn himself another shot. Jack Giedroyc has not received many title opportunities in recent months and is hungry to get back on top of ROF. Rolling Johnny Stones has some solid momentum behind him coming in. All 3 of these men are former single-time ROF champions and want to add a second reign.[/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]Can-Am SAS are former tag champs but a team who are often seen as reliable hands in the tag division rather than really top, genuine contenders. But on the first Cauldron of this month, the Warriors were taken to a time limit draw by the SAS, which has given the Style & Submission team added belief that they can take the belts in this title battle. Warriors have been great champions, but the SAS are looking strong. Can they go one better on PPV?[/I] [IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k225/MarcelFromage/ROF/Wrestler%20Pics/DuaneStone.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/RobinsonStoatROF.jpg[/IMG] [U][FONT="Georgia"][SIZE="3"]Handicap Match[/SIZE][/FONT][/U] [FONT="Century Gothic"][SIZE="3"]Duane Stone vs Robinson & Stoat[/SIZE][/FONT] [I]Duane Stone has got on the nerves of Billy Robinson and Stevie Stoat in the last couple of months. The trans-atlantic rivalry became more heated at Pyromania when Stone distracted the arrogant pair, and his presence last month at Ashes to Ashes seemed to hinder Robinson & Stoat’s title challenge. They have challenged him to a match, and since it was only he they challenged, Stone has happily said he will take them both on himself. Stone is a fantastic wrestler, but can he possibly survive or even win against one of ROF’s best combinations?[/I] [IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k225/MarcelFromage/ROF/Wrestler%20Pics/LouisFigoManicoROF.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/MerleOCurleROF.jpg[/IMG] [U][FONT="Georgia"][SIZE="3"]ROF Championship[/SIZE][/FONT][/U] [FONT="Century Gothic"][SIZE="3"]Louis Figo Manico © vs Merle O’Curle[/SIZE][/FONT] [I]The Spanish Superstar is proving durable as champ after defeating Walter Morgan last month. However to many ROF fans O’Curle is the uncrowned champion and perennial top dog here in ROF. He lost the title in a shock to Manico and his own mistake cost him in a rematch. In the Pyromania 4-way, he basically was given no chance to win. Now he has his chance. Will Manico get crippled Celtic style to give us the first ever 5-time ROF champion or will Manico continue his unlikely title reign unabated?[/I] _______________________________[/CENTER] [B]ROF Blaze of Glory – February 2014[/B] [U]ROF Talisman Title[/U] Byron © vs Joey Beauchamp Don Henderson vs Masked Man [U]Triple Threat Contenders Match[/U] Jack Giedroyc vs Rolling Johnny Stones vs Walter Morgan [U]ROF Tag Team Titles[/U] Warriors of Honour © vs Can-Am SAS [U]Handicap Match[/U] Duane Stone vs Robinson & Stoat [U]ROF Championship[/U] Louis Figo Manico © vs Merle O’Curle

[QUOTE=DannyDemon;407944]I really wanna know how lol :p[/QUOTE] Obviously not in this event. What it means is that Robinson & Stoat will be the ones to eventually win the belts from Warriors of Honor. That being said, impromptu unannounced matches can happen! :D

ROF Talisman Title [B]Byron ©[/B] vs Joey Beauchamp [I]Byron's been your most solid mid-card champ for a while, so I think you will let him continue his run. I think a fresh challenger needs to step up though outside of Barnes or Beauchamp, whether that's someone like Kevin Jones or perhaps even someone from the ROF Japan brand.[/I] Don Henderson vs [B]Masked Man[/B] [I]D-Mack is spot on here, the Masked Man (who may or may not be Adam Matravers) won't job, otherwise the mystery is a bit pointless [/I] Triple Threat Contenders Match Jack Giedroyc vs [B]Rolling Johnny Stones[/B] vs Walter Morgan [I]Stones appears to be on a roll at the moment, and he's not had a title shot in a long while now, that his return to the top of the card will feel fresh.[/I] ROF Tag Team Titles [B]Warriors of Honour ©[/B] vs Can-Am SAS [I]Re Can-Am SAS Title Hopes: [/I] [I]Q: Can they go one better on PPV?[/I] [I]A: No- The Time Limit draw on Cauldron, at least established that they are still a good team and it's not unfeasible they could win the belts. But I still see the Warriors run either being ended by Stoat/Robinson or Reborn Romeos[/I] Handicap Match Duane Stone vs Robinson & Stoat [I]A Handicap match isn't this all a bit 'sports entertainment' and who's the heel in this feud Robinson & Stoat are hardly fan favourties but Duane Stone accepting the feud by himself doesn't make him look a plucky under-dog, it just makes him look as arrogant if not more so that the two men he'll be facing across the ring. [/I] [I]Schmozz non-finish, as the singles rarely ever loses in these 'against the odds' handicap challenges but I don't think you'll want to job-out Robinson & Stoat either, which would make them look weak, even if their opponent is Duane Stone.[/I] ROF Championship Louis Figo Manico © vs [B]Merle O’Curle[/B] [I]Whilst frustrated challenger O'Curle is entertaining, I think another loss to the 'Fig' will start to chip away at this aura, and the 'Fig' has had a solid enough run now that it doesn't just feel like a flash in the pan. I was going to go for DRAW initially but I had that in the last match and I don't think you'll do two non-finishes in a row.[/I]

So this was kind of the best alternative at the time. Not great, but...ROF is becoming all sport-entertainment right now with the run-ins etc anyway, so I suppose it fits!! :D

ROF Blaze of Glory – February 2014 ROF Talisman Title [B]Byron[/B] © vs Joey Beauchamp [I]Beauchamp has disappointed whereas Byron has not. At this point, I see a long title reign for Byron.[/I] Don Henderson vs [B]Masked Man[/B] [I]The Masked Mat (Raver) will win.[/I] Triple Threat Contenders Match [B]Jack Giedroyc[/B] vs Rolling Johnny Stones vs Walter Morgan [I]I can see RJS winning too but I think Giedroyc will be your next challenger.[/I] ROF Tag Team Titles [B]Warriors of Honour[/B] © vs Can-Am SAS [I]Another W for the Warriors. The SAS are - frankly - too boring to have another title reign in the foreseeable future.[/I] Handicap Match Duane Stone vs [B]Robinson & Stoat[/B] [I]You wanna keep these two strong. Here's hoping this thing won't be completely overbooked.[/I] ROF Championship [B]Louis Figo Manico[/B] © vs Merle O’Curle [I]I don't really want to see O'Curle with the belt again, so Louis gets to hold on a bit longer. I envision either Giedroyc or Stones to take it off of him.[/I]

ROF Talisman Title [B]Byron ©[/B] vs Joey Beauchamp The two former UCR memebrs meet and Byron shows why he has always been better. Don Henderson vs [B]Masked Man[/B] I don't want the masked man to win but it fits the story. Triple Threat Contenders Match Jack Giedroyc vs Rolling Johnny Stones vs [B]Walter Morgan[/B] I think Morgan should be next in line for the title ROF Tag Team Titles [B]Warriors of Honour ©[/B] vs Can-Am SAS I don't think Samurai is going to get another Main Event title run so I think he should hold the tag belts for awhile, possibly evne until he retires. Handicap Match [B]Duane Stone[/B] vs Robinson & Stoat I really hate stoat that much (The Crowd was Vocal about it's hatred for Stevie Stoat). ROF Championship Louis Figo Manico © vs [B]Merle O’Curle[/B] O'Curle FTW

ROF Talisman Title [B]Byron ©[/B] vs Joey Beauchamp [I]- Marcel finally has a solid lynchpin to build the Talisman title around, Joey may get a run with it, but not yet. Byron's gimmick and mannerisms are too good to be shortchanged with a quick run.[/I] Don Henderson vs [B]Masked Man[/B] [I]- Mask doesn't fit, but still, unless there is a 'wardrobe malfunction' Dragonmack's favourite Lugar does the job here.[/I] Triple Threat Contenders Match Jack Giedroyc vs Rolling Johnny Stones vs [B]Walter Morgan[/B] [I]- No real reasoning other than I still mark for PPK and everyone else is picking RJS.[/I] ROF Tag Team Titles [B]Warriors of Honour ©[/B] vs Can-Am SAS [I]- I mark for Can-Am SAS but I think the WoH call 'owner's perogative' and that Marcel's building up for a Stoat and (shudder) Billy R title run.[/I] Handicap Match Duane Stone vs [B]Robinson & Stoat[/B] [I]- This goes against convention since normally the 1 outwits, outlasts, outplays the 2, but not here. In RoF's sole foray into OMG~! Sportz Entertainment in the past 5-6 years the RoF regulars will cheat to win. Because if Marcell can't get things ironed out to get Stone (and others) back to continue the storyline, then the RoFers look triumphant. (I feel dirty for backing a Billy R win.)[/I] ROF Championship Louis Figo Manico © vs Merle O’Curle [I]- Draw. I'm going with that because tigerkinney couldn't. What better way to frustrated O'Curle than for him not to lose but not be awarded the RoF title for all his troubles.[/I]

With AmEl holding the TCW All Action title and the reveal that all the wrestlers are under contract means that he isn't one of the four elements :( Maybe Jacob Jett is air though! You use jets to fly through air! All my prayers are hoping that the great Kozue Kawashima is Earth!

That makes it nearly 50% for you on predictions in the last 12 months! :D Billy R plays an important role standing about on the ring apron. In all seriousness (which I know is difficult with a Beeker comment), Stoat's superkick is a more immediate finisher in a tag situation than Robinson's submission move. It's why in most tag matches Samurai scores with the fisherman suplex as opposed to the Secret Stretch submission. And I'm trying to make Stoat's superkick look like an immediate match ender.

[QUOTE=DannyDemon;408671]what else does Beeker do other than wait around to take the p!ss out of Billy R? :p[/QUOTE] I occasionally update my dynasty. :P And I think the Stoaterkick is getting over as a match ender. I think Billy needs to add to his arsenal so they don't have to rely on a Stoaterkick to win every match. Hey, 50% is a vast improvement over my average. :D
