He followed that up with a second victory over the English Adonis at Light Up The Night to prove that his opening salvo was no fluke. Now DBF faces a new opponent, but one who is no stranger to Talisman gold. Petey Barnes won a triple threat contenders match on Cauldron last week by beating Joey Beauchamp and Sergei Kalashnov and now gets his chance to become a 3-time Talisman champion. Both of these men are popular with fans and skilled in the ring. But who will be called champion?[/I] [IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k225/MarcelFromage/ROF/Wrestler%20Pics/GiedroycTrio.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/ToddTrio.jpg[/IMG] [U][FONT="Georgia"][SIZE="3"]6-man Tag Elimination[/SIZE][/FONT][/U] [FONT="Century Gothic"][SIZE="3"]Team ‘Wrath’ vs Team ‘God’[/SIZE][/FONT] [I]Rod ‘The God’ Todd has spent the last several months interfering in Jack Giedroyc’s business, and most recently has said that he is in control of Giedroyc’s career and destiny. He ‘allowed’ himself to be eliminated by Giedroyc at King of the Ring, giving Giedroyc the Light Up The Night title shot. But Todd then interjected himself in that match, costing Giedroyc a chance at the gold. Now the two men meet again, but this time in an elimination 6-man tag. Both Todd and Giedroyc have been told to find allies. Who will the two men bring on board, and will The God once again go some way to proving his control over The Wrath?[/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/WalterMorganROF.jpg[/IMG] [FONT="Century Gothic"][SIZE="3"]Don Henderson vs Walter Morgan[/SIZE][/FONT] [I]These two skilled technicians and ROF originals meet in a match that will determine one of the participants in the annual 4-way Championship match at Pyromania to end the year. Morgan is a former ROF champion who often rises to the big occasion and is a consistent performer. Henderson is still striving to make that final step to greatness and become ROF champion for the first time. This should be a great match between two men who have enormous respect for one another. Which of them will be fighting for the title next month?[/I] [IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k225/MarcelFromage/ROF/Wrestler%20Pics/ClassicElementROF.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/RebornRomeos2ROF.jpg[/IMG] [U][FONT="Georgia"][SIZE="3"]ROF Tag Team Titles[/SIZE][/FONT][/U] [SIZE="3"][FONT="Century Gothic"]The Classic Element © vs Reborn Romeos[/FONT][/SIZE] [I]The Classic Element pairing of Buff Martinez and Luke Cool have risen to the top of the tag rankings with their pair of PPV wins over former champions Can-Am SAS. And their position has been helped by the splitting up of other teams such as Warriors of Honour. However opportunity is knocking for someone and that someone is Reborn Romeos. The team of Casey Valentine and Lance Martin have been impressive ever since debut and surprised ROF fans with their skills. They have never won the tag titles though, despite having the best ROF tag bout in history against Warriors of Honour earlier in the year. Will this be their time, or does Nova’s Classic Element really have a tag stranglehold now?[/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/VSborder.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k225/MarcelFromage/ROF/Wrestler%20Pics/RollingJohnnyStonesROF.jpg[/IMG] [FONT="Century Gothic"][SIZE="3"]Louis Figo Manico vs Rolling Johnny Stones[/SIZE][/FONT] [I]This is another qualifying match for next month’s Pyromania ROF Championship 4-way. Both of these experienced competitors are former ROF champions, with Manico only recently losing the belt in May of this year. The ageing Spanish Superstar may see this as his last chance at glory but he faces stiff competition in Rolling Johnny Stones, who has had a really good win/loss record in 2014 without managing to win back the ROF title…yet. Which of these popular figures will be contesting the gold at Pyromania next month?[/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/JossThompsonCE.jpg[/IMG] [FONT="Georgia"][SIZE="3"][U]ROF Championship[/U][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT="Century Gothic"][SIZE="3"]Merle O’Curle © vs Joss Thompson[/SIZE][/FONT] [I]This is a real match for the ages. Despite their standing in UK wrestling, these two giants of the wrestling scene have never met in a singles match – a fact that has made this the most hotly anticipated battle in ROF history. Add to that the fact that ‘The Complete Package’ is aligned with Jeff Nova’s Classic Element and is going up against the ‘Celtic Crippler’, who is a real ROF man, and it adds an extra intrigue into proceedings. O’Curle has, without doubt, been the most dominant force in ROF history. But Nova wants to alter history and sees Thompson as the man in his stable who can get the job done, especially after he defeated Walter Morgan (who wrestles in a similar style to O’Curle) at Light Up The Night. Will we see a Classic Element victory or can O’Curle once again prove he is the main man in ROF?[/I] ______________________________[/CENTER] [B]ROF Napalm Nightmare – November 2014[/B] [U]ROF Talisman Title[/U] DBF © vs Petey Barnes [U]6-man Tag Elimination[/U] Team ‘Wrath’ vs Team ‘God’ Don Henderson vs Walter Morgan [U]ROF Tag Team Titles[/U] The Classic Element © vs Reborn Romeos Louis Figo Manico vs Rolling Johnny Stones [U]ROF Championship[/U] Merle O’Curle © vs Joss Thompson

[B]ROF Napalm Nightmare – November 2014 [/B][U]ROF Talisman Title[/U] [B]DBF © [/B]vs Petey Barnes [I]Can't see DBF dropping the belt at this stage, especially to someone who's been there done it with the Talisman Title. I can't see Petey ever going beyond this level but he provides the veteran legitimacy to the belt with his previous reigns. DBF on the other hand could use a good run to build his own reputation in ROF.[/I] [U]6-man Tag Elimination[/U] Team ‘Wrath’ vs [B]Team ‘God’[/B] [I]I reckon that Giedroyc will choose the Can-Am SAS as his partners, whilst Rod will brainwash the Elimination Agents to side with him. Despite having the advantage on paper, with those teamings, I see Team God pulling out the victory.[/I] Don Henderson vs [B]Walter Morgan[/B] [I]This could easily go either way. After actually having a title reign in his past I see Morgan as the slightly more legitimate title threat, than McLugar, so with that logic I'll stump for the Wigan Bull-Dog[/I] [U]ROF Tag Team Titles[/U] [B]The Classic Element ©[/B] vs Reborn Romeos [I]It's a bit strange to see the Romeo's in the role of de-facto faces, but I see them just coming up short here, as the Classic Element begin to place a stranglehold on the titles.[/I] [B]Louis Figo Manico[/B] vs Rolling Johnny Stones [I]Even though I've stated earlier that the Fig would probably be on his way down, I feel that you will show some respect to the great run he had with the belt earlier in the year and have earn a spot in the Pyromania 4-way and give him that one last shot at winning back the ROF Title.[/I] [U]ROF Championship[/U] Merle O’Curle © vs [B]Joss Thompson[/B] [I]I see this match having possibly the most controversial finish in ROF history. Jeff Nova will definately stick his oar in, and cost O'Curle the title, but I could see the finish being so unsportsmanslike and against the ideals of ROF, that the title will be end up being 'held up' going into Pyromania.[/I]

I think the ref throws it out when Nova intereferes and O'Curle and Thompson opt to try to behead one another with weapons rather than submission holds.

[QUOTE=Maximilian_WWW;428148]By the way, where is the Robinson-Stoat rematch?[/QUOTE] Erm...missed out due to time constraints! With the Giedroyc vs Todd feud in need of continuing, and my wish to add 2 qualifying matches for the Pyromania 4-way to the card (to make that seem more important), I just couldn't fit Robinson vs Stoat II in. All these damn storylines. Honestly, next time I'll pick a fed that doesn't need them. Oh, wait a minute... You can be assured that Robinson vs Stoat II will be a part of the Pyromania end of year show. :D

It's just that they pretty much stick to the same 6 match format, give or take a few variations such as the King of the Ring match, when usually the card gets reduced to 4 matches. Looking at much of ROF's workers stats back in 2007, none of your main men such as Morgan, Henderson or even O'Curle have what I call tremendous stamina levels, though I'm sure they must have improved on their cardio over the years and I'm guessing that any non wrestling time is pretty minimal (I'm guessing perhaps the odd hype vid before the main event and that's about it). So I'd be surprised if your answer is that the Pay Per Views are more than 2 Hours long.

I do stretch a couple of them to 2 hours if the stamina levels of participants in key matches allow it. But basically I keep the show length (and match numbers) constant a) because of the low stamina levels you mentioned, b) because I don't have space on my newsletter page for more than 6 matches, and c) because I'm a creature of habit! As for non-wrestling time...I very rarely use it at all - maybe a couple of minutes hype here and there, usually if I've made the PPV 2 hours long. On an hour and a half, its usually all matches, which last between 12 and 16 minutes normally.

Todd has maintained that he is the one in control of Giedroyc’s destiny and career – ‘The God’ for which Giedroyc is the Wrath. Last month at Napalm Nightmare, Todd once again struck Giedroyc down in 6-man tag team action. Their feud comes to a head now at Pyromania, with the stipulation that the loser must renounce their ‘gimmick’. Either Giedroyc will stop being The Wrath of God, or Todd will have to give up his ‘God’ persona. Or will Giedroyc simply turn into Todd’s disciple, as some ROF fans have forecast?

Byron held the belt through much of the year, defending against all-comers before losing to Daniel Black Francis at King of the Ring. DBF then defended successfully against both Byron and Petey Barnes at subsequent PPVs. Now the Pyromania 4-way includes both current champ DBF and former champ Byron, as well as 2 other former Talisman champions (and former tag partners) in Barnes & Matravers. Matravers entry has come a little out of the blue – he hasn’t challenged for this belt (or any in ROF) in a long while, ever since losing a ‘no title match for 6 months’ stipulation bout with Barnes a long time ago. But it seems Jeff Nova wanted a Classic Element entry in this match and so Matravers could end up with the gold. But it will be tough – each of these men has a realistic chance of emerging from Pyromania as Talisman champion.[/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/StevieStoatROF.jpg[/IMG] [FONT="Century Gothic"][SIZE="3"]Billy Robinson vs Stevie Stoat[/SIZE][/FONT] [I]These former tag partners were never destined for tag success due to the force of their rather over-sized egos.

Now we get the chance to see who the better man really is. Both of these men are fine athletes who feel a win here will break them into the main event picture where they feel they belong.

His current reign has seen victories over top contenders such as Louis Figo Manico, Walter Morgan, Rolling Johnny Stones, UK Dragon, Jack Giedroyc and most recently Joss Thompson. Last month’s title match may have been a disappointment from a wrestling standpoint, but it did prove O’Curle’s superiority in singles action over the Classic Element member. But how will the champion fare here in the elimination rules match? Last year O’Curle was taken out due to the numbers game, although Thompson must also be wary of that happening to him here based on the growing animosity between the ROF mainstays and the Classic Element. Walter Morgan is known throughout ROF for being a major force in multi-man matches, and Rolling Johnny Stones is in good form and cannot be discounted either.

[/I] Loser Must Renounce Their Gimmick Jack Giedroyc vs [B]Rod ‘The God’ Todd[/B] [I]Rod only just got his God gimmick back, so I think that Giedroyc loses here- it might not necessarily be the end of 'The Wrath' though and I could see some possibilites in these two teaming together.[/I] ROF Talisman Title 4-way Elimination [B]DBF ©[/B] vs Adam Matravers vs Byron vs Petey Barnes [I]This could literally go anyway. However my feeling is that Matravers will get eliminated first, as the other 3 team up to take him out (continuing a bad night for The Classic Element), Byron will then immediately turn on Petey, taking the silver haired high flier out of the equation. That leaves the last two champions to battle it out, where I feel DBF will once again get the better of Byron to retain the title.[/I] [B]Billy Robinson[/B] vs Stevie Stoat [I]I don't think Billy R's draw with O'Curle will be for nothing, and to me that seems like an indicator that you could be about to pull the trigger on a main event push for the one time Shooter. [/I] ROF Championship 4-way Elimination Merle O’Curle © vs Joss Thompson vs Rolling Johnny Stones vs [B]Walter Morgan[/B] [I]For me Stones is the one added to make up the numbers, he has a chance of winning but for me it's slim and I see him heading back up the ramp first. Morgan and O'Curle will then work together to try and eliminate Joss Thompson, but the Classic Element member will take advantage of miscommunication and eliminate O'Curle, ensuring a second title change of the night.[/I] [I]That leaves Morgan to fly the flag for ROF, Nova will interfere but he'll end up costing Thompson the match, as Walter PPK picks up his second ROF Championship and The Classic Element leave Pyromania empty handed and in crisis.

I'm sad to see this diary might become obselete with 2008. It's like reading Bizarro world with guys like Remo getting jobbed out and Walter Morgan and Merle O'Curle are on top. My suggestion is to start over with TEW 2008 and recreate Bizarro World once again! Just once though I would've liked to see Merle O'Curle squash BLZ Bubb.

Damned those computer games taking you away from real life... Congrats - and I'm glad O'Curle went out on top.

[QUOTE=eayragt;429840]Damned those computer games taking you away from real life... Congrats - and I'm glad O'Curle went out on top.[/QUOTE] Thanks. I changed plan when I was deciding to end it. Originally the plan was for the Classic Element to win all 3 belts by the end of Pyromania. But the fact that Joss Thompson was struggling a bit (especially having bad chemistry with O'Curle) allied to the fact that I decided to finish up when I did, meant that O'Curle ended on top - where he belongs.

BAH GAWD! I can't believe that the newsletter is finally over. I'm hoping there will be a return for '08 in one promotion or another. ROF always looked like crap to me, but you made it a promotion I loved reading about. Awesome job on the last show, and I can't wait for the inevitable return of Wez Blooze!

[Beeker]

Waaaaaaaaaaah! It's over! Comrade O'Curle deserved to go out on top. See, I would have called that one right if you weren't such a coward. Leave the readers wondering where the hell RoF could have gone with a new champion. A fantastic run Monsieur Fromage. The Camenbert salutes you! Bravo!

The Newsletter format was ingenius and things like the out of ring interviews got the wrestlers 'characters' over outside the ring without going away from the pure wrestling product of ROF.
