wow! I hardly comment in these pic threads but your fed blows me away!!! The comic book style is so fitting, the pics are bright and focused, the environment moves with each new panel, and the commentary is sharp - I can literally hear Vince, Jesse and the others in my head while reading! I haven't finished the whole show yet but I had to come on and say that this is probably the best fed I've ever viewed. You've got a new fan!

Thank you very much for the kind words. I do take pride in the commentary that I write. As all pic fedders know, it's pretty hard to convey all the action, emotion and humor you WANT to in these Jakks (and now Mattel) figures. Good commentary is the only fix!

I've said it before, but it bears repeating--I literally can hear Vince and Jesse arguing in my head, as well as Monsoon and Heenan, lol! I watched WAY too much 80's WWF growing up!! ;D ;D

Dude your show is awesome. I love the comic look. that is soo sweet. Like I kinda want to learn how to do that. Cause it makes your fed a million times better then any other pic fed. Love the Ted Dibiase thing. with Dr. Doom. All of that is so awesome.

Thank you! I use a program called "Comic Book Creator 2" by Mash On. Google it and you can easily find it. It looks like it might be freeware now. It's VERY easy to use! Just load up the file you stored your pics in and then drag and drop them in the selected page. Adding word balloons is just as easy. I highly recommend it and will help anyone who has it and needs help.

This fed really takes me back to my child hood and when I first got into wrestling. Thank you for doing this. Your poses are great.. I think I know who that dude is as well. I can not wait for part two..so...hurry up lol

[deskjet]

I've always enjoyed your shows. Thought the opening segment was well done with an intro by the new TWA champion. This territories thing is a really good idea. Loved the flag match. Already lookin forward to a Hogan/Koloff show down. The time machine thing with George is genious. I remember this from the last time you posted regularly on the board and it fits so well into your presentation. And now the new mystery guy? Got me hooked! Great show, and glad to see you back as a regular of the board

Episode 6: August HEAT is now finished and available for your viewing pleasure!

I loved Jake vs. Rude...awesome bout.
Piper and Flair was very solid as well.
The Undertaker taking Tunney's soul was awesome! looking forward to more of where that came from!

[Deleted]

Awesome Wars! I love the mix of Mattel Jake with Jakks rude, a superb bout.
Andre's handicap match was great.
Oh no Dr'D invades Wrestlefest and knocks out Tunney!
Great use of the Undertaker taking Tunneys soul.
As always excellent work and craftsmanship on you fed!

[indywrestling]

Loved it man, Dr. D the maniac of WF, i got one almost done, alittle differ from your though, Windham as the 4th horsemen works greatly youve got the original 4, great match with piper and flair, wish flair would haveone it, great stuff, ill be done with mine very very soon

I do hate to say it, cause i was hoping they would, but i dont like the way the mattel and jakks figs look together, the dusty looked out of place with piper and the guys, but man i love your shows, lol

[duckman77]

Holy Smokes!!

Part two was electric...You should be writing for WWE or TNA or something Wars, teach em how to book heat on guys. Rude and Jake is about as hot a feud as I can remember and you've just taken it to a whole different level.

Poor Dusty but Barry Windham is a true Horsemen he just fits the bill so darn well.

Love the brawl!

DR. D is in WF??

Piper vs. Flair was excellent, again lots of heat and madness all over the place. Vince just needs to get out of the way when Dr. D is coming haha. Piper just managed to get a hold of that club and I think Dr. D might be in some serious trouble after whacking the wrong guy with that sledgehammer.

The Undertaker??? These surprises are getting me to mark right out haha.

I can't wait for the next episode of WF to find out the fallout of August Heat, the condition of President Tunney, whats going to happen to Dr. D and what exactly has the Undertaker done.

Actually the Original 4 were Flair, Tully, Arn and Ole Anderson. Windham was a part of the 3rd incarnation of the Horsemen.

War's I tip my hat to you on this show, especially for Robert's and Rude. I enjoyed how the match did not feature anything out of Rude and Robert's move sets.

I can't wait to see the fallout of this event.

I hope you meant anything OUTSIDE of their movesets!! ;D

Thanks for the replies, guys!

As for fallout, yeah, MAJOR FALLOUT!! Rumor has it the camera kept rolling after the show went off the air. Hopefully Mean Gene will give us an UPDATE soon!

I watched from Episode 1 all the way through and I am hooked especially since the comic book style is soo easy to following and typical of the Era of which you ae going for.

Cannot wait for my next fix

[Bandalero]

hooked?!! Wars, put it this way - your pic fed storylines have me more hooked than the real WWE storylines currently going on!!! You're able to mix real life history with your own WF twists - amazing.

What a fantastic part deux! I really like that you're starting to incorporate Mattels into WF - the added articulation makes for some dynamic poses/pics.

Roberts/Rude feud is completely hot and I'm seeing an Andre/Hogan showdown as they get nearer to Harley Race's title - throw the Russians in the mix and you've got so much cool stuff going on!!!

Now Dr. D is in trouble with Tunney, Tunney's soul is stolen by Undertaker, and let's not forget smart George Steele just built a time machine!!! How does all of this play out?!?! Man you have me on the edge of my seat waiting to find out.

On the creative side, I really like your attention to detail in some frames. In a panoramic shot of the ring you'd have a camera guy strategically placed, or in a backstage segment with the 4 Horsemen, you see Cornett and the Midnight Express with Bubba having their own conversation in the background. That attention to detail makes your fed feel so epic it's insane!!

On a personal note, I was hoping that Flair would go over Hot Rod because Roddy's group got the better of the Horsemen earlier in the program, it's not like the Horsemen to job twice in one show.

Wow - this is extremely cool. I really like the Dr. D custom! Can't wait to view the next one - Jake vs Rude was my favorite wrestling segment - my favorite parts though are the interviews and skits.

Any chance you could list out your roster?

Thanks!!!

I've tried to write a "set" roster, but it seems to change all the time, lol. With the tag team tournament going on, I'm using people I normally wouldn't, plus DiBiase's Corporation fell apart, so some he brought in have left...even I'm a bit confused as to who is officially signed by WrestleFest. I do plan on 'tightening' things up and I'll post a roster soon. Plus, I don't want such a huge roster, I'd like to see some guys get used in other TWA feds instead of my fed. There's only so much room at the top!

Thanks for the comments and question!

I finally figured out how you did the sleeper pose.

[itsallawork]

[deskjet]

Part 2: Great match with Rude/Roberts. Love the fact that they both have a woman by their side/ Awesome match with great back and forth. Incredible to watch and left me wanting to see more. Horsemen segment was well delivered..I vaguely remember schultz. Looks like you have the japanese Giant? Flair vs Piper was awesome! The sleeper pose was ver clever The ending was crazy! What the hell happened to Tunney? Where's the time machine..Ahhh I need to find out what going on! Great stuff man! Keep it up! Can't wait till next time!

[The Warsman]

Hi again, folks! "Mean" Gene Okerlund here with a very important UPDATE!

As those of you who watched WrestleFest: August HEAT know, many things went down on the PPV! First, there is little to report in the case involving Jack Tunney! Officials have just learned that President Tunney is still alive, however, not much else is known at this time! We will have a full report later in the week, as right now details are still far and few!

Also, UPDATE has obtained this very special footage from right after August HEAT went off the air:





Fans, I will be back as soon as more information is available! The WrestleFest Academy of Sports and Sciences is trying to maintain order in this troubling time! For UPDATE, I'm Gene Okerlund!

[indywrestling]

Nice little addition man, do i c i 6man tag in the works??

[Deleted]

Incredible work Wars. You've hit a standard that will be hard to live up to but will keep all others on their toes. Loved the Roberts/Rude stuff and the newly added Mean Gene Update was fun as well.

You have a great presentation and it's very cool overall to see how things come together. I plan on reading it again in a few days I liked it so much.
