State of the Board Address: By StingerSplash Hey guys, here it is: The newest edition of the Pic-Fed Magazine! Thanks first of all to everyone who helped out with this. I just want to express how happy I am with the Board right now. Not only are we growing, but we are becoming something that other Forum members take the time to watch and reply, whether they have a fed or not. This Board is rising, and guys, I can't wait to see where it goes from here. We've had some awesome shows here recently (some of which I still need to reply to,) and I hope that we can continue this trend of activity as we move into the Fall. Also, let's try and get some new blood on the Board as well. The more people with Feds, I believe, the better. So, let's keep this up, and continue to be a community where everyone is welcome, and everyone feels appreciated. That is what will take this Board to the next level. Thanks- SSplash
MATCH OF THE MONTH: By: Cobain The match of the month has to go to Bryan Danielson vs. Tyson Kidd at UCW Another Level! This fantastic match was made by easy1986 and proved that he can pull incredible matches off. The entire show was fantastic, but this match went over the top. Danielson vs. Kidd had wrestling grapples, high flying, brawling, and everything else you could possibly think of. I really hope we see a part two of this instant classic. There were a lot of different matches to pick from on the board, and they were all incredible, but this match took it! I hope you guys go check out this match if you haven’t seen it yet, check this link out! |

FIGURE REVIEW: By robert69 We all know and love many of the top names to have ever come out of Professional Wrestling. Many are names that the general public can even appreciate. If you were to mention the names Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, or Randy Savage during a conversation at Starbucks, likely everyone in the store would know who you were referring to. But there is one wrestler that has surprised us throughout the years. Not because he’s the greatest performer, or worker. Not because he’s the most entertaining, (though this could be argued). What surprises us is that he has skyrocketed to a household name without ever once associating his name with WWE(F). This man, is of course, Sting. For our first figure review, we take a look at Jakks Impact Series 1 Sting. This is a figure that custom-makers have been working on for years. So many wasted Undertaker bodies and paint brushes to create what Jakks so readily handed over to us on their very first series. And there isn’t much to complain about with this figure. You will see that Jakks did in fact reuse their Undertaker mold from the neck down. This includes the gloved hands. The scorpions are painted on the sides of the figure’s outfit and they are done quite well. The scan is almost perfectly done and Jakks did an excellent job getting the Stinger’s likeness down. Now, there are several issues with the figure. First, the gloves are not as detailed as Sting’s actually are. It’s a minor inconvenience, but it wouldn’t have broke the bank to put a few white dots on the gloves. The other main issue is that it is not in scale. Perhaps we’ve gotten spoiled the past year and a half by a certain other company, but Jakks could learn a thing or two. That more or less sums up the positives and negatives of this figure. If we had anything else to complain about, it’s a Jakks. Stinger, when you sign a deal with Mattel, we’ll gladly be on board. But in the meantime, if you want a decent up-to-date Stinger with adequate articulation and an acceptable appearance, rush out to your local drug store and pick one of these bad boys up.
Final Rating: 7/10 |

THE SHOCKING FIVE: By: StingerSplash #5: Ric Flair Retires: The ‘Nature Boy’ announced during the middle of his ‘I Quit’ match with Shawn Michaels at WWEF’s ‘Extreme Consequences’ that he was retiring! Then, Vince McMahon fired Michaels! What does this mean for the new era of WWEF? #4: HLW Returns: One of the greatest Pic-Feds of all time, HLW, returned on the scene recently, with a huge edition of Nitro! What was an unexpected return, now has HLW fans chomping at the bit to see the next edition of Nitro. #3: Triple H Comes to the UWA: In what was an unexpected, and a ill-favored move by UWA Owner Shane McMahon, ‘The Game’ himself debuted on UWA Raw 4. He ran out to the ring after the Eight-Man tag-team Main Event had been thrown out. Everyone cleared the ring, except CM Punk, who got a Pedigree for his troubles. #2: Necro ‘Butchers’ Raven: The Necro Butcher finally achieved his dream of becoming the FIW Heavyweight Champion at ‘As Good as it Gets,’ by defeating his arch-nemesis Raven in a grueling match-up. In a match that looked to be in Raven’s favor, Necro hit a Tiger Bomb through two tables, to put the man from the Bowery away. #1: Joe Defeats Punk: CM Punk’s two-year long reign as ROP World Champion came to an end this past weekend at ‘Still Crazy.’ In what was an excellent match-up between the two rivals, it wasn’t clear who would come out on top. Until, Joe caught CM Punk in the ‘Muscle Buster,’ and it was all over from there. |

PIC-FED SPOTLIGHT: By: Tirva wTw Owner Tirva is here with the Owner of FIW, BRM!
"Now BRM, thanks for taking the fill to let us in on FIW! What got you started with Pic fedding?"
Pic fedding was the logical next step for me after posing. I had been posing since 2005, and the pose board began to decline around 2007. Most of the old school posers had left, and the board just wasn't as active anymore. I had always enjoyed looking at pic feds, and always thought about making one. I actually had 5 feds prior to FIW, but only did one episode for each. I also would always get asked by guys like deskjet and KC to sign up for freedomania and figamania, and was always doing just "one off" matches, similar to just a really long pose. Most people ended up liking my matches, so I decided to start a fed.
"Which one character is most fun to work with in FIW?"
This is a tough one. I love working with everyone in FIW (that's why they're in the fed!,) but I have the most fun with Brian Kendrick. I LOVE doing promos in FIW, and Kendrick's promos always give me the most freedom. His character is based on a quote from JR in which he said Kendrick "reminded him of a young Brian Pillman." I actually thought about using Pillman in my fed as a loose cannon, but I didn't know if everyone would like seeing a deceased wrestler used, and he actually had that gimmick in real life. Kendrick as the loose cannon is fresher, and I always seem to know what I'm doing with him. It's easy to write for him, and I don't really get to "write" for everyone in FIW.
"How long does it take you to setup your crowd? You must have 600 figures in there!"
Oh man. I have two boxes of RA and TTL figures, and sometimes I run out of them and have to sprinkle some DA's and FC's in the back to fill out the crowd! I takes about an hour to just set up the FIW arena, because It's done the dining room table and my parents don't let it stay up for longer than like, a week. I dream about the day I'll have it permanently set up, and I can come and film as I please!
"What is your favourite feud ever in FIW?"
My favorite feud so far is definitely Necro Butcher / Raven. What I think made Dreamer / Raven so special in ECW was the fact that it incorporated a lot more than just Dreamer and Raven. I purposefully tried to have Necro / Raven reach out to a lot of my roster, as it furthers the main feud, and allows others to have something to do too. Kendrick, Evans, Shane Storm, Cactus Jack, and Hallowicked all were involved, and it truly made it feel larger.
"Who is your favourite current pic fed besides your own?"
Oh man, my favorite fed?! You're making me have to choose! That's one thing I love about the pic fed board. It's got the community factor that the pose board used to have. The reason I stopped posing was because all the other guys stopped posing. But my current favorite is probably Mikey's ROP. We're like Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez (I'm not saying who is who though!) We both love indy wrestling, and we both love translating our passion into pic fedding. I love what N1SF is doing with PWA, and I think he's the best upcoming fed, and I love adillita's WCM (it's a true inspiration to my writing) but ROP is just the standard for Indy feds.
"Who do you think should be ranked #1 in the Power Rankings?"
The #1 in the power ranking should be Samoa Joe from ROP for putting CM Punk down.
"What do you think makes your fed stand out and be so unique?"
I think my fed stands out because I didn't start as a pic fedder. I began as a poser first, and translated that into pic fedding. I'm also an English major in college, so I like to employ techniques I've learned in those classes into my promos. I also purposefully try not to have storylines in FIW that are similar to storylines happening currently in wrestling, especially in WWE and TNA. I think pic fedding should be an alternative to actual wrestling, so I try to do things you won't see anywhere else.
"How long does it take you to film a show?"
Oh man, it takes forever. I can film an Independent Television episode in one weekend (Friday - Sunday,) but it usually takes me a good 5 days to get a big show out. And the worst part is, my camera ALWAYS dies after about 45 - 60 minutes. So It takes about 3 sittings and 3 hours to completely film one match.
"Chocolate or Vanilla?"
Vanilla, definitely.
"If you were stuck on a deserted island and could only take two figures, which two would you pick? The ring and ref are already on the island!"
This is hard! Probably DI 1 Kurt Angle and DI 2 Amazing Red. Not because they're my favorite or the best, but if I'm gonna be on an island, I'm going to want to have figures that have tons of articulation and are very playable!
"Your favourite current WWE Superstar and why?"
Man, I watch TNA more than WWE, but I'm starting to watch more WWE now that it's getting better. I would have to say Jack Swagger. It would have been Mike Knox, but he's gone now. Swagger's character has so much potential, but I fear he's not going anywhere.
"Lastly, what can we all expect from FIW in the near future?"
As far as the future of FIW, expect things you're never seen before. I feel that the longer FIW goes, the better it gets, and the in ring quality is not going to decrease. The longer I go, the more momentum the stories build, and the more customs I get finished! I have the next big story already in mind, and you can expect a lot of new faces coming very soon. If you have a favorite indy wrestler that's not currently in FIW, get excited, because they will probably be showing up by Christmas!
“Thanks for taking the time to let us in on FIW and get to know you yourself BRM, you Vanilla loving SOB!”

Very cool read! I had high hopes that maybe, just maybe at least one WCM guy made it to the Power 25, and I was shocked and utterly happy to see 3 of them make it! I bet they will have something to say about it on the next show. All you guys did a great job at putting up a very entertaining issue and it's nice to see the board with so much activity lately, you can be proud Stinger!  |

Great issue. Just read it. Nicely done.
Hopefully we can get these cranked out more often now with the board more active and a new head chief.

Great job on the magazine, guys! Lately, I've been secretly following most of the cool picture feds that are posted here. I'm currently working on my own pic fed, and it's the first time I try this, so I'm really learning to appreciate all the work that goes into these feds!
I really like ROP, WCM, HLW, and a few others. I feel bad that I haven't had time to reply to any of them yet. There's so much talent on this board and this magazine is a cool way to catch up on what's currently happening. I look forward to seeing future issues so keep it up, guys!

thankyou micro im a bit confused on how to bring it over from facebook, any advice would be greatly appreciated guys my show has real depth and strong matches which i wanna share with you all, im also tryna get a promo pic over aswell still trying to figure that one out i would like to tell you guys about my fed a little bit if your intersted? we are currently 2 shows in and our about to start our third soon,
in our first show we had a 10- man battle royal to determine the wwf champion, at this point i should probably tell you the name of the fed is WORLD WRESTLING FIGURATION hopefully you,ll be following us in the future,
we didnt set out to do a fig fed but rather just collecting my faverote wrestlers which expanded into the purchase of a ring and it went from there, so if you have the chance of seeing the first 2-3 shows you will be able to see the progress and the diffrences here and there.
the best part! and this is were people will be curious as to who is in the WORLD WRESTLING FIGURATION. well we have BOBBY "THE BRAIN" HEENAN and the heenan family featuring RAVASHING RICK RUDE, ANDRE THE GIANT, MR. PERFECT & THE BARBARIAN. we also have THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR, RANDY SAVAGE, TEXAS TORNADO, THE UNDERTAKER, LEGION OF DOOM, BRITISH BULLDOG. JAKE THE SNAKE ROBERTS is with us RICK MARTEL THE WILD SAMOANS and more, hope this gets you all pumped for our shows and if you cant wait come see me on facebook.
