Yeah, I know. Just two matches. You're probably thinking "How did two matches and some promos take two months to get up?." You can blame Windstream Internet services for that. But, hey, it's up. I wanted this to be a storyline-driven episode, and I think this episode does a good job of hyping up King of the Ring. Judge for yourself, though. Enjoy the show!

[Squatch]

Wow! I loved that show. The first match had some great action in it and I think it was great to see Miz pick up the win against the other two.

The promos backstage were unbelievable in terms of continuing your storyline's you have been working on. The main event was next on this short edition of UWA Raw and it was sure to be a good one.

The main event was good and all chaos broke out once Triple H showed up. Shane seems to be losing his mind in terms of bringing the game into UWA! I think Punk will feud with HHH somehow and pull off a great feud. But my favorite part of the show was the King of The Ring hype video! That video was excellent and it really has me excited for King of The Ring. UWA has to be one of the best feds around here in a long time!

[StingerSplash]

Thanks for the reply, Ben. Glad to hear that you enjoyed the show!

Wow! I loved the show. As I have said, I need to soak up as much pic fed knowledge as I can, and this really helped. You have magnificent quality pictures. You have great commentary, matches, and promos as well as a great arena. The GIFS of the titantrons are a very nice idea. Was Shane McMahon's promo how you feel about who posted at Freedomania? How did you make that entrance door?I like the cross generation/All Star feel of the fed where you use old and new stars.In a few places, I saw string but nothing is perfect. Your matches are very realistic! I really liked the triple threat match. Great Punk promo, that's a great group. I like the little storyline brewing between Miz, DH Smith and British Bulldog.What a blockbuster main event. Wow, I call Christian Christian Cage in my fed too!So the Rock is heel?
Great match in itself, and very realistic. Overall, my only negative comments are on a few spots you had some string and shadows. Great video package in the end.

[StingerSplash]

Thanks Colin!

And no, the Shane promo is in no way directed towards those comments. This is leading to something big, and I just wanted to get across the point that Shane feels like he is under so much pressure by being Vince's son. Hence why he did something drastic by signing The Game. I used Freedomania, because I did use a WWE match, and if UWA was real-life, they would recieve those reviews. Stay tuned. This will be the biggest angle so far. Also, if Shane's promo came across as lashing out, and as my opinion, it was not supposed to. I just want to drive home the pressure that he is feeling.

[ctln4rko]

Oh ok, just it seemed so real. Looking forward to it. The more realistic a storyline is, the better.

Awesome show as always man. Was glad to see Miz get the win. Interesting to see what the story with Shane is building too. Main event was decent and set up King of The Ring well. Was a bit disappointed to see Triple H being the mystery guy. I predict Triple H to win the King of The Ring and face Punk at Revolution

It seems like a long time since I last saw a UWA show, so let's get reacquainted. I love seeing Shane as the owner, and I enjoyed your explanation of how he left the WWE to create the UWA. Triple Threat matches are awesome and give you a ton to work with, so I'm really looking forward to this. I'm putting my money on Miz taking the belt. The Miz clothesline mid air shot was a bit wonky, but that powerbomb by Smith looked freaking impactful. Again, I feel I can't fault wonky poses because if you are attempting to use string for mid air shots, you have my respect. But seeing that powerbomb also gives me hope that you'll be an awesome poser in a few shows. What the lights!? Yup, Miz wins it, and I'm glad. I'm excited for what this "lights out" storyline will become, and it looks like Perfect is getting set up for a good feud. I'm really digging this build up to the new employee. That was a great conversation with Taz and Shane, and it's got me hooked. I must say, I wasn't the biggest fan of Bulldog being the champ, but he's beginning to grow on me. He brings that tough guy feel to the champion persona. Ok, we have a huge main event right here. WOW that top rope codebreaker was freaking nice! Never seen that before. The match was a bit short, but I did love seeing Vader in most of the action (he's my favorite in UWA.) Triple H does seem like the kind of guy who can be brought in to take out the Saviors of Wrestling. That's a feud I want to see. I'm glad to see you are back and posting, and even if this show was short, you're just getting back into the swing of things. Can't wait to see what happens next.

[StingerSplash]

Thanks brm. I'm desperately trying to improve my string work. They're not FIW material, but I feel that they're coming along, and I'm glad you think so too. Like I said, I hated to wait so long to post a show, but with such a hectic summer, and the Internet issue, it's been an uphill battle. haha. I wanted to keep the Main Event short to save most of the action for KOTR. I'm glad you enjoyed the show, and hopefully no more issues will delay any more shows. Thanks again.

EDIT: Wow, I re-watched the show, and there are several shots where I did not edit the string. I apologize for this, and I'm mad at myself for being so negligent. I guess I just forgot what I had and hadn't edited. Sorry guys.

I owe you a reply, Stinger man! Solid show as usual. You have some really strong storylines building up steam and I like the way you bring life to them, from Shane trying to steer the wheels of the show to the father and son generational conflicts of the Smiths. I am not a big Bulldog fan by any means, but having him as a champ is very interesting, I like it when somebody puts the strap on “not the usual champ guy”, as it opens up the doors to new and unexplored possibilities. I’m sure Triple H will bring lots of chaos, cunning and evilness to your Fed! The fact that your show only had 2 matches is not a bad thing, I think a good show can be good even if it has a single match, or maybe no matches at all, cuz you are telling a great story here and it’s cool to see it move forward. Of course, more matches always means more stories, so feel free to make a 12 match show and I will sit back and enjoy it!

Okay, late feedback is better than no feedback, right?

Interesting way to start off the show. I assume that has something to do with criticisms or whatnot, but I don't know that addressing it on the show worked, but to each his own. I do like your setup though and I think your photos are nice and crisp.

First match was pretty good and I was pulling for Smith, but Miz won anyway (boo!). It had a few stiff poses, but also some really fantastic ones. Sort of an interesting dichotomy. Finish makes me wonder what's going on, which is a good thing.

I enjoyed the Championship Committee meeting/segment. That was quite strong and a good diversion from the usual stuff you see on people's pic feds. Nicely done.

The Smiths/Miz segment was also excellent. Really good job on that. I like the simple, but effective promos.

Main Event time! Love the spit in the face deal, very well done. Although Christian's takedown looked more like he tackled his opponent to give them a hickey. Very well done Vader offense, though. Especially the punches and brutal backdrop over the ropes. Having the fans chant "holy shoot" seems kinda lame. Just don't have them say anything or do something like "Holy S**t!" if you want to censor it.

Jericho's leap into the Codebreaker kind of looked like he was riding an invisible bicycle, lol.

Jericho probably should have gotten hit before he sold that offense to Vader, kind of an odd transition, but nice turn around either way. Unfortunately what should have been a great match, just sort of ended with a real non-finish. Felt very unsatisfying. HHH's appearance does nothing for me either, to be honest. The best parts of this fed is the stuff that's not on the normal path. Making it the CM Punk/HHH show sort of defeats your original message, but that's just one man's opinion.

However, your video at the end was awesome and was a great hype to the PPV. I know good videos and that one was simple and very effective. So once everything is said and done I am looking forward to KOTR.

The Shane promo wasn't addressing criticisms. It's a storyline. He's under a ton of pressure by being Vince's son. That was the point I was trying to get across.

The 'Holy Shoot' was a nod towards towards FIW, as it's used all the time there, and I like to say it. lol.

And it's not supposed to be the CM Punk/HHH show. There's still a World Title match at KOTR. The whole HHH ordeal is that Shane did something drastic by bringing him in, and now it's caused an uproar. Punk just happened to be the guy who tried to attack him.

Thanks for the comments, and the criticism. I always use it to better my fed. Thanks again!

Great show as always Stinger, I've been hovering around. Still enjoying the shows. I'm looking forward to seeing what this leads to!

[roddypiper]

You are getting better. I like Miz winning the IC belt finally.


Was this your lead in show to the PPV?

Your PPVs are getting better.


Not really to much I can say to a lead in show..
I cant wait til the KOTR.

[Deleted]

Another show ive never watched before.. Lets check this out..

I like what you do having Shane in charge. From the first promo I get the feel for your WWE-style production.

Great opening match, Im thrilled that Miz won! Who attacked Henning though? Intrueging.. I like how you use DH Smith.

Who could they be talking about..? I like that you take the time to write the promo exchanges. Great storytelling..

Loving the Bulldog/DH link up, Aha.. Miz looks legit scared. Good angle!

Huge main event! I love how you use Vader, he seems unstoppable. NO SELL CODEBREAKER! Great poses throughout. Triple H debut, interesting, seems to have put the cat amongst some pigeons.

Overall I enjoyed the show! Your production is spot on, I like how you use your stars, crossing between real life and the storylines and characters you assigned them. Nice one Looking forward to KOTR!
