USWF Rumble For The Gold

[Deleted]

Whew... After months of issues and weeks of delays the first official USWF card is up. The 20 man Rumble for the Gold. This required a lot of work on my end, so feedback would be greatly appreciated.

For those that don't know, this is an "old school" fed, but with all created characters. It takes place in Memphis and is supposed to have that sort of junky, USWA vibe about it. I'll be building a new arena for the next show, but I had already started with this one and can't very well switch arenas mid show.

In case you forgot how we got to this point, here's the Rumble Press Conference again: Rumble For The Gold Press Conference

And now for the big show!

That was cool odbjbg. I like your setup and the 'made' up guys were nifty. Very nice clear crisp pics which is something I have problems with especially when I am in a hurry rushing too much. A solid job.

Poses are really stiff. Don't be afraid to bend the joints of the figures, especially when their almost being eliminated. I understand sometimes there is many things going on at once but bending the joints much more will make everything look that much better.

Your picture quality and ideas looked really good.
I liked the setup.
I like the originality despite it being hard to follow at times because they are all new characters.
I like Sony Phillips the best!
Don't be afraid to use different camera angles.
Loved how everyone was going after everyone.
Your poses need the most work. Hillbilly Henderson's body didn't bend anywhere in any pose.
Good presentation with the site and the comic style.
Poses are my only complaint. Looking forward to your next show. Congrats on posting this one!

good job

I really liked it! It's different, and that's a good thing!

Poor Hillbilly Henderson! That kick to the head elimination by the MM was brutal!

That double suplex elimination HAD to break Silus Coltrain's neck!!!

You did a great job managing the action, battle royals with so many participants are very difficult to manage, but you kept good attention to detail, kept the action moving and did a great job with the commentators explaining a bit about each man along the way.

Mr. Lust had some indecent words about Mrs. Ovaltine Jenkins! Wow!

Axe Duggan...wasn't that Hogan's name in the Fire Pro Wrestling video game series? ;D

Dang! I was pulling for Ovaltine Jenkins and Big Bad Brody! Preston Bockwinkel FTW! FML! ;D It's good to see a 3 on 1 fight actually go the way of one of the 3 men! They rarely do... "The Triumvirate?" Is that word in a Memphian vocabulary?!? I bet many heads exploded with that one!!

Your pictures are crisp and clear, and I like the comic book style you use. The effects are great. The poses were pretty good over all, a few were a little 'static' especially eliminations (some were stiff as a board looking) but I'm sure you'll sort that out in time. Lastly, the original characters won me over! I was a bit hesitant at first, but if you stick with them and really sell them and get them over with the "audience," I think you're on to something golden! Great effort!!

You put on a solid show and it's interesting because I was curious about your custom wrestlers and upon first look I thought it would be very hard to relate the faces of well known wrestlers to custom ones, but after getting into the show, it just smoothly sank in that these guys were totally different personas and I enjoyed the whole thing. Ovaltine is my favorite!

[indywrestling]

Hahaha!!!! I loved it, way different, i wanna book Preston Bockwinkle!!! U shold ask G2 if Axl Anderson can be in your fed, hes a perfect choice, nice job man hope to c more of u!

Thanks everybody. I really appreciate it. It was a lot of work but it's motivated me to do more and do better.

Yeah there was a bit of stiffness in there, I'm definitely going to work on improving that. Thanks.

Thanks for all the kind words, Wars. You're right about Axe Duggan. I was glad you liked it and I hope to be able to expand upon that. I wanted to get as much personality as I could for several characters and I think I managed to do that. Getting the wheels in motion for the first few storylines. Glad you noticed.

Much appreciated. I figure it's not that hard to imagine, so long as the characters and stories are well defined. I'm glad some of that shined through, because that's what I wanted. So many people just slap a new name or paint job on someone and call it a custom, but to me it's more about creating a unique personality that you can identify with. I don't really want to get deep into the physical customization, but I want to make the characters stand out.

Thanks all and if anyone else has feedback, feel free to leave it. I'm always looking for suggestions, what characters you like, etc. Pre-shad-it.

Your poses need some work but I like the originality of your fed. Brilliant work on that and as time goes by you will get a better feel for your poses.

[Deleted]

Thanks man. That's exactly what I'm trying to build up. Create some characters and if people can relate to them, then it shows I've done my work. I'm definitely doing my best to improve upon the poses in future editions.

I appreciate the honest feedback.
