Hello fans and welcome back to our ODOR newsletter where we will bring you the most up to date information on the unique world of ODOR.
In the last newsletter, we had our New ODOR Champion crowned in Antonio Inoki. After an exhausing day of matches, he was then immediately challenged by the EODRF (either old, dead or retired fogies) federation - The Crippler Chris Benoit. A steel cage was then set up and in a few short minutes, Benoit walked out the NEW Undisputed World ODOR Champion. This, of course, did not sit well with Inoki. Inoki says that he was cheated out of the title and that Benoit was never a top contender.
Top contenders were sorted out by those who had a total of 10 or more matches under their belts.
Antonio Inoki (15/1)
Stone Cold Steve Austin (14/3)
Steve Simpson (ss87) (13/3)
Jimmy Snuka (dlx) (12/3)
Bobby Lashley (16/4)
Harley Race (ss83) (10/3)
Jerry King Lawler (ss83) (13/4)
David Shultz (pd) (10/4)
Andre the Giant (12/5)
Cowboy Bill Watts (9/4)
Bruno Sammartino (ss83) (9/4)
Another mini tournament was held to see who would go up against Chris Benoit first. Again, Anoki had an issue with this and said that he is by far the number one contender. It took some convincing but it was finally agreed upon that Inoki would receive the first shot. The top contenders would then be based on their performance in this mini tournament.
The tourney was finished and it was won by Steve Simpson. Who would have thought? By winning this, it moved Simpson from the bottom seed to #3.
We did decide to run some matches. These will be taking place over the next few weeks. These really were more like relivng grudge matches and some are of these are ones we would have liked to see. Most of these would have qualified at some point as Main Event Matches. Matches we can expect to see include:
Andy Kaufman vs Jerry Lawler
Andre the Giant vs Big John Studd
King Kong Bundy vs Hulk Hogan
Randy Macho Man Savage vs the Ultimate Warrior
Ricky Steamboat vs Ric Flair
Larry Zybisco vs Harley Race
Nikita Koloff vs Magnum TA
Booker T vs Big Poppa Pump Scott Steiner
One Man Gang vs Dr Death Steve Williams
The Road Warriors vs Terry Gordy and Michael PS Hayes
Ted Dibiasi vs Ronnie Garvin
Stone Cold Steve Austin vs Shawn Michaels
Stan Hansen vs Cactus Jack
Don Frey and Scott Norton vs Ken Shamrock and Dan Severn
Lou Thesz vs Kerry Von Erich
Kevin Sullivan vs Rick Steiner
Barry and Kendall Windham vs Blackjacks Mulligan and Lanza
Ken Patera vs Ivan Putski
Hollywood John Tatum and Eddie Gilbert vs the Midnight Express (Lane and Eaton)
The Andersons (Ole and Gene) vs Chris Adams and Gino Hernandez
With all that out of the way, we are on to our main event match with the challenger Antonio Inoki taking on the ODOR Champion of the world - Chris "the Crippler" Benoit. The match will be set up as a No DQ match with a 30 minute time limit.
Referee is 'Honest' Abe (+0)

ODOR Tournament Finals - 09.02
Hello fans and welcome back to the finals of the ODOR (Old, Dead OR Retired) tournament to crown a new World Champion. The show starts off with none other than "The Original Big Daddy" Donnie B making his way down. Donnie B was not included in this tournament since his retirement came after the tourney had begun.
"Welcome one and all to our Finals to determine the NEW ODOR World Champion. The matches are set up alphabetically so the #1 entry Andre the Giant will take on #16 Warlord. We do not want any interference, count out or time limit draw to eliminate any participant so all matches are set up as no DQ/No Time Limit. With that, let's get this show on the road."
The first match of the evening is Andre the Giant taking on the Warlord. The match goes on for 7 minutes and comes to an end when Andre knocks out the Warlord with a Big French headbutt.
Next up is Jimmy Snuka taking on Kamala. Snuka advances after a 25 minute bout and taking down the Ugandan Giant with multiple forearm smashes.
Our third match is Chris Champion taking on the Rattlesnake Stone Cold Steve Austin. This one went 21 minutes and ended after Austin stomped a mudhole into Champion and Champion could not get up.
The fourth match has David Shultz taking on Rick Martel. This one went 7 minutes and ended after the former AWA Champion and Model ended Shultz's quest after nailing a Canadian Suplex.
The fifth match has the man with the longest unbeaten record Antonio Inoki taking on Ultimate Warrior. Inoki has been unstoppable in this entire event. Ultimately, it was not the Warrior's night as a 24 minute battle and a jumping kick took down the Warrior.
The sixth match has the other non-tourney winner Jerry King Lawler taking on the man of a thousand masks Mil Mascaras. In 7 minutes, the King gets Mil to submit to a Royal Backbreaker.
Our seventh match has Bruno Sammartino taking on Terry Gordy. This one went 21 minutes and ended after Bruno locked Gordy in a bearhug and Gordy passed out. Bruno quickly dropped the Freebird and got the 1-2-3.
Number 8 is up next with two former AWA champions going at it. Harley Race takes on Nick Bockwinkle. In 23 minutes, Race gets the win after an eye gouge and then a rollup (with a bit of tight pulling).
We make our way into the second round and after a quick break, we start off with Andre the Giant taking on Jimmy Snuka. In the upset of the night, Snuka gets the win after catching the Giant with a Superfly Death Leap and taking the Giant down hard.
Next is Stone Cold Steve Austin taking on Rick Martel. Just like in his last match, Martel gets a quick win after a devastating Canadian Suplex.
The Japanese Superstar Antonio Inoki takes on Jerry King Lawler. This was the longest match of the night and Inoki walks away with the win after a lariat almost took Lawler's head off.
The final match of this round has Harley Race taking on Bruno Sammartino. In 26 minutes, Bruno catches Race with some plain old hip rolls and makes the cover to get the win.
We are down to the final four: Snuka, Martel, Inoki and Sammartino.
Another quick intermission and we begin the semi finals. Snuka started off strong dominating the former Model. But instead, it was Martel's wrestling background that allowed him to lock in a small package and get the 1-2-3. Rick Martel is moving on to the finals.
Bruno and Antonio are up next. These two have just destroyed all others in their paths and now come face to face. In 13 minutes, the winner of this match via submission is...Antonio Inoki. The crowd has just gone bananas.
We are down to our last match. Rick Martel taking on Antonio Inoki. The winner of the match will become the first ever World ODOR Champion. Both men were extremely exhausted and this was a short match. In 7 minutes, after a knife edge chop, the winner of the match and NEW ODOR World Champion....Antonio Inoki.
The crowd is ecstatic as Donnie B makes his way down and presents Inoki with his new belt. The new champ holds his belt up high. He is clearly exhausted. He continues to celebrate until different music plays and out comes the old EODRF Champion "The Crippler" Chris Benoit. Benoit takes a mic: "You know Inoki, I don't think it's fair that I worked my ass off and won the title and now I'm told that due to a federation name change, I'm not the champ anymore? Is it my fault that the owners of this federation never had me defend the title in the last 3 years? My answer is no. Well, I have news for you. We are going to have our match right here and now and only one of us will walk out of here with the title."A steel cage was set up so that there would be one clear cut winner.

We're back...for now
Hello fans and welcome back to our EODRF Newsletter. EODRF stands for Either Old, Dead or Retired Federation. It's been 3 years since we last posted here but now, we have good reason.
First bit of news is that the name of our group has changed. It is now known as Old, Dead Or Retired (ODOR) federation. Special thanks go out to our reader "Steven" for coming up with that name.
In the last 3 years, ODOR has grown leaps and bounds. As of our last count, we are now at 707 participants ranging from Antonio Inoki to Zeus. Wrestlers included here span over 50 years in the business with older greats such as Bruno Sammartino, Waldo Von Erich and the Original Nature Boy Buddy Landell to "fodder" talent such as the Mulkeys. Yes, Bill and Randy are here.
When the HWF and CSWA was restarted back in January, we decided to hold a tournament - with all 700+ performers particpating. Well, as you can imagine, that would take months to complete and finally, I am happy to announce that we have our finalists. The finalists are based on the Alphabet spelling of their first name. For example, Antonio Inoki is in the A's but then it also inlcudes wrestlers whose cards had "" around their nickname. A few examples of this would be "Mean Bean" Butterbean and "Not so Perfect" Todd Bridges. Even "Rodzilla" Dennis Rodman particpated.
After months of hard work, here are the finalists to crown the first ever ODOR champion, Once we have a winner, this champion will meet up with the last EODRF Champion Chris Benoit to crown a New Undisputed ODOR Champion. Also, there will be a top ranking for challengers to this belt. There will not be regular matches; just those with the best rankings vying for a shot at the coveted title.
Here is the list of those finalists:
A - Antonio Inoki
B - Bruno Sammartino
C - Chris Champion
D - David Shultz
E to H - Harley Race
I to J - Jimmy Snuka
K to L - Kamala
M - Mil Mascaras
N to P - Nick Bockwinkle
R - Rick Martel
S - Stone Cold Steve Austin
T - Terry Gordy
U to V - Ultimate Warrior
W to Z - Warlord
Because there are 14 finalists, we decided to go back to the record books and pick 16 wrestlers (2 groups of 8) from those eliminated to round up the tournament to 16 so that no one would get byes. Those 16 men chosen include:
Andre the Giant
Big John Studd
Bobby Lashley
Cowboy Bill Watts
Fit Finley
Iron Shiek (Dlx)
Iron Shiek (Promoters Dream)
Jerry King Lawler
John Morrison
King Kong Mosca
Louie Spicolli
Mean Mark
Pitbull #2
Scott Norton
Steve Simpson
Superstar Graham
Yes, Iron Shiek has to pull double duty since both of his cards were among the 16 best records. This was set up so that alphabetically, Andre would go up against Superstar Graham.
Andre the Giant
Superstar Graham
Big John Studd
Steve Simpson
Bobby Lashley
Scott Norton
Cowboy Bill Watts
Pitbull #2
This one was won by the one and only Andre The Giant. I expect Andre to be a major force in the tournament.
Fit Finley
Mean Mark
Iron Shiek (Dlx)
Louie Spicolli
Iron Shiek (promotors dream)
King Kong Mosca
Jerry King Lawler
John Morrison
The next one was won by Jerry King Lawler. It was really shocking as we thought Mean Mark was going to go all the way.
Stay tuned as the tournament is coming next.
