[Mr.Amazing]

Great show Stinger, love the storylines and your poses are improving.

[Squatch]

The storylines are amazing! I think it was cool how DH Smith was kidnapped by the Saviors of Wrestling. I'm just wondering if Jericho and Orton will turn on Punk?! Ziggles and Bourne had a very good match. I'm glad that Ziggler cames out on top though. The interviews are good, and I think Vader will help Davey Boy Smith. I'm loving the commercials. The Christopher Daniels moment was great! I'm hoping that you introduce the X Division Championship for Daniels, Bourne, Hurricane, and others. The Miz and Jake The Snake had a good match. I'm not completely interested in The Miz though, he needs to work on his wrestling skills. CM Punk seems to be a total toward Jericho and others. I hope it ends up with Jericho switching sides and DH Smith being revealed as a member of Punk's group. The Rock's turn was incredible. I do think you need to work on poses though. The ending announcement was cool. I liked what Punk did, and I knew Christian and Vader would have to get involved somehow. Hopefully you continue putting amazing photos into your show and the storyline's are great. Just work on your poses and you will be golden! Good show.

Thanks Ben! I really appreciate you taking the time for a detailed reply!

I really just wanted to let The Rock cost Cena the match, and let the viewers tell me what to do with it. Your post may have just done it for me! Since both men are faces, I just wanted to play it out a little bit, and let the fans decide.

And I really thank you for the comments on the storylines. I'm hoping that what I lack in poses I make up for in the stories. I think my poses are gradually improving, lol it's just a process. But thanks again for the reply. Sorry it took so long to get Ep. 2 up, but I've been super busy this last month. I'll definitely try and get shows up faster. Thanks again!

Im really impressed by this fed, youre the first person in quite a while to have the fundamentals and basics down straight away. i like bulldog as champ, its something new. one question, why are ross and lawler always standing up? you must have a couple of chairs laying around. also, it would be cool to decorate the announcers table a bit. im not keen on this stable you have here, id rather it was punk with a couple of lackeys or something. it just doesnt seem to fit to me. some of the poses with vader were pretty stiff, but cool to see vader in your fed. that figure really is awesome. a good back and forth first match, but with some stiff poses again, the zig zag more so than others, then again, mattels never look that great when posed. i quite liked vader with punk, oh well. not keen on the rehash of the cena v rock feud, but ill see where it goes. im guessing a lightheavyweight division, should be interesting. miz v jacobs wasnt as good as the first match, but non the less served its purpose. a jumping ddt is a cool finisher, but the pose was poor. this tag match should be interesting, i can see bulldog coming out, and rock and cena going after each other. poor jumping clothesline pose to be honest. well, i was right on one part. not sure why bulldog didnt decide to come down to the ring mind, that would of made sense. well, that clears that up then, he was injured, well played. cool end the show, i guess at king of the ring a tag match between saviours of wrestling and christian and vader, should be cool.

anyway, a very good show considering its your second. just work on your poses, they need some major work, but the storylines are all progressing well, and your presentation is good.

[Deleted]

Great second show! Some of the poses were a little stiff, but the extra crystal clear pics you shoot are still a high point of watching for me. Good storylines and some nice action and you have a really great second show. Keep going and good luck.

[StingerSplash]

Thanks guys, for the responses. I really appreciate you guys taking the time to watch, and respond to the show.

I agree with the poses. I know that they need work, and I'll continue to try and improve as I get more shows under my belt.

Thanks again for the replies, guys.

[scarzzz]

Hey man! As promised. Just gonna comment as I watch...

Good

Commentary is enjoyable to read - love the mention of CM Punk tweeting, the little things make a big difference IMO
Pics are excellent quality, how they should be
Like the Bulldog as your main guy/fan favourite
Interested to see how Vader will tie in with the SOW/Bulldog
LOVE the fan with the sign - as with the Twitter mention, the small things can make such a difference - shows you've put some real thought in to this
Excellent back stage segments with the SOW, John Cena and Bourne/Hurricane/Daniels...really cementing the foundations for some good feuds. Again, like the commentary, dialogue is very enjoyable to read
Nice touch with the black/white pictures to show footage from the last show
Like the Rock as a heel and things look well set for a good feud with Cena
Excellent end to the show...you've pretty much set the stage for 3 great feuds there in that one segment...Christian/Jericho, Vader/Orton and CM/Bulldog. Awesome!


Not so good

Message board to present the show
Not neccessarily a bad thing here, but do people actually watch the titan tron videos? Waste of effort?
I've never been a fan of using your spare figs to make the crowd, I know a lot of people will disagree with me...but personally I just think 'why are Road Dogg, Matt Hardy and The Rock in the crowd?' An empty arena isnt a bad thing
As someone else said, not sure about the commentators being stood up and at a normal table

------------------------------------

Overall man I was thoroughly impressed with that, really! Look forward to the next show and hopefully you will consider some of the improvements that we've all suggested.

Awesome fed man. Great clear pics man. Just love your fed. Liking the saviours of wrestling faction. Liking the Bulldog as champion as it's different. I like the use of Mattels too. Your fed is making me want to get that Vader figure too. The best fed i've seen in a long time man

[brm]

This is my first time viewing UWA, so let's see what's going on here. First off, love the 2003 Raw opening. I began watching wrestling in 2003, and I have a lot of great memories linked with that time period. Ok, Bulldog as champ is certainly a fresh WHC in my view, especially in a non classic fed. I'm liking your portrayal of Punk in his "savior" persona, and Jericho and Orton as his associates is a nice change of pace. I just hope you don't "bury" them by portraying them as just sidekicks. They are main event players, and I hope they don't play second fiddle to Punk. I love Vader, and I really hope he's a monster in your fed. First match, Bourne vs. Ziggler. This should be a good showing. I love your arena. That shot of the windows and balconies reminds me of the Manhattan center / RAW arena where they used to hold RAW in 1993. Your pic quality is really good. I don't know if it's just because you're using Evan Bourne, but I felt that some of the action was hard to follow because you didn't use string. I got the basic flow, but with Bourne flying around, it came off as teleportation in some spots. YES! Daniels is in your fed! Hope to see him in action. Miz vs. Jake Roberts is interesting. It's like you're mixing eras pretty readily. I guess if you keep it up, it won't seem too odd. I do like how you are using Miz in his shorts attire. Nice to see Miz go over. I don't know if I've seen Miz being featured prominently in a current fed, and I would like to see you prove that he is worth his main event run. I don't see Rock and Cena functioning as a tag team well here. And there it is, Rock Bottom to Cena! Nice way of having Punk go over, while still having Cena look like a strong threat. That's good booking. Nice to see Christian being in the main event / upper card, and Vader turning face?! I didn't expect him to be a face, but as long as he's featured, I'm a fan. Overall, this was a very well done show. I enjoyed it and it was very easy to follow. You have a small roster and I like that. Even though you had a previous show I didn't see, I was not lost at all. The only thing I could suggest is using string for the poses, as that would make your in ring action stand out a lot more. Hope to see a lot more of you this summer.

[N1SF]

Good show man. This is my first time viewing and certainly won be my last. Everything flowed real well and felt like a Raw on tv! Your arena and picture quality are great, what camera do you use? Although it is set up almost like RAW, I like how you didnt copy storylines. I am not sure how I feel about mixing Legends and current superstars, especially dead ones. The major gripe I have with this show is the poses. While some come out great, others are very stiff, and it would be beneficial for you to use string.

IMO, the positives out weigh the negatives and if you fine tune your poses a little this will be one of the best feds on the board, I cant wait for #3.

[StingerSplash]

Thanks guys for the detailed replies. Really appreciate them.

I'm getting string tomorrow, and then I'll start filming the matches for Raw 3 tomorrow night. Hopefully my poses will look a lot better!

And brm, I kind've wanted that old Manhattan Center feel, so I found some old 'Army' playset I had, and turned it into the balcony area. lol. You never know what you'll find in storage!

N1SF, I use a Canon Rebel XTI. It's my mom's, but she lets me use it! lol. The perks of being a teenger!

Thanks again for the views, and the replies/suggestions. I definitely listen to all criticism, because it will only make me a better pic-fedder!

[cgj]

Right, first time I've watched and replied to a pic fed in a while.

-Your arena looks really cool.
- Commentary is good. Just the right amount.
- It's been mentioned, but you really need string. Your poses aren't too bad mind.
- The adverts between segements are a nice idea. I did laugh at some of them. :-D!
- Match length is fine.

Not a bad show actually considering it's your second. Your matches will improve ten fold once you get some string. My main criticism is that it's hosted on proboards. Google some free web hosts and learn a bit of HTML/CSS and it will looks fantastic. Good job.

[tirva]

Opening Promo by Punk was solid. I hope Vader isn't part of SOW because he doesn't fit the mold by any means. Love the storyline with Davey Boy, DH and SOW. Very great work! Posing could be a bit better with orton and jericho looking @ DH while punk kicked his head. Things like that.

I like how you add crowd reactions. Sweet ZigZag pose! Only 2 poses could've been better. Your show is great!
Vader turning on SOW would be great. Despite how much i think Vader is a jobber.

I liked the Hurricane, Evan and Daniels segment but add some humour. When Bourne said he can't just win with hurricanranas then Hurricane should've asked if that was a joke that Hurricanes can't win or something stupid. Spice it up. Daniels = bah

Your matches always start with a big move by someone. Your match story telling could use a bit of work but everything else is good. Jake Roberts got jobbed out to Miz? HMMMM. Now Roberts looks buried. You need some good guys built up.

Great Punk, y2j and christian promo. That was good!

If Cena hit the ropes by The Rock, why wouldn't he just tag out?
Rock Bottom on Cena was too predictable. You should've @ least had a false tag somewhere in there.
Decent match though. Solid pose for the finish!

Solid ending. Your pushing Saviors of Wrestling to the moon. Not a bad episode whatsoever. Keep it up.

My first time watching your fed SS, and the first thing I gotta comment on is your clean presentation. It looks really good, really professional.

British Bulldog as champ is an interesting choice, but I like it, makes a change from the usual world champs we see. The alliance between Jericho, Punk and Orton is a really good choice, I could see three guys like that working together in real life. The Vader powerbomb pose looked great, particularly the midair shot. The Dolph/Bourne match was again quite good, good display from both men. Nice to see another fed using Daniels, he's a majorly underused guy. The Miz made short work of Jake the Snake, nice to see you pushing Miz. The promos throughout the show with the "Saviours" are great, I'm really enjoying them. The main event was good, and i'm intrigued to see where The Rock and Cena go from here. Good ending with The Saviours, making them the focal point of the show.

Really enjoyed the show SS, and i'll definitely watch again. Some great angles, matches were of a good length and your characters are all interesting. Well done man, especially for this being just your second show.

[StingerSplash]

Thanks tirva and Mikey. Really appreciate the comments/suggestions, and I'm definitely taking them into account, and implementing them into my next show.

Thanks again guys.

[Robert69]

Just finished the Miz/Jake "the Snake" match and Christian/Y2J segment...will finish the rest of the show later and modify my post accordingly, but with what I've seen so far, I just wanted to tell you, you have a fan. I'm so watching every episode you do. I can't wait to see the evolution of this product. Bravo.

Great ending to the show. Looking forward to Episode 3. Really nothing but good things to say about the product so far...except perhaps to consider cutting a few clotheslines out of the moves...I mean, I just felt like that was your "go-to" counter for everything and that single move got a bit stale just in 2 episodes...other then that no problems really.

I like that someone asked to see you do string work in the first episode and you so quickly obliged, and did such a great job at that. if there was any string present I didn't notice. I was too busy enjoying the show. As good as the first episode was, you improved, and that's the most important thing of all.

[deskjet]

I think, this is the first time I've viewed your fed. Good opening segment. Your pics are great. Opening match was pretty well done, perhaps some string poses for Bourne, but no biggie. This Saviours of Wrestling angle is cool. Good poses on the Miz/Snake match. Well done. Wow, Christian out! Great tag match that kept the feud going with Cena/Rock. Cool how Christian and Vader came out. WHere was Davey? Great ending and the SOW looks to be a formidable group. Definately gonna be checking this out again. Nice work.
