UMMM I havent really replied to too many shows lately but this needs more work. First off whats with all the fatal four way matches? Secondly way way way too many blurry pics. The arena setup looks like you did the best with what you had but if I were you I would fix all the blurry pics next time before you post, especially with all the time you took preparing and stuff. Its a good thing you actually made a first show and stick with it, but the nuts and bolts of your pic fedding need to be worked out first. I couldnt enjoy or follow what was going on with all the new windows popping up and the blurry pics.

So man I didn't get all the way through the show. The pics were way to blurry and dark. Your arena needs some work and there's a lot of pics where your shadow can be seen thus string can be seen. Plus you could do with a proper ramp rather than 1 made of tin foil. Also it's Hawk not Animal.... Needs a lot of work man but keep it up

[RCW]

Hey Guys sorry for the blurry pics, The main event has very few blurry pics, and I can't really help new windows popping up!


Edit: @bigeviljohn

There is two fatal 4 way matches so i could try get most of my roster in a match( to give them all a shot so to speak) There no.1 contenders matches so yeh.

Sorry :/

Hey, man, one way or another, a new show and a new fed! I won't say nothing of the blurry pics, cuz you already warned us about them ahead of time. Some poses look real stiff and some picture angles are a bit off. You need to get off the tin-foil, man, that stuff is poison! You have great room to improve upon and I feel you put out too many people in just one show, and that kind of took away from that "wow!" factor. A bit hard to follow for me, but in my case, it's due to the picture size. Thanks for giving us new show to watch over the weekend, with so much inactivity around here lately.

Hey big guy, ill say this, the pics were way to blurry, i was gettin lost in alot of the matches, the arena could use some work, like the ramp, keep workin though man, none of us have a perfect show on our first outing. The best success is work my man.

[RCW]

Hey the pic size were a bummer! and as to were the sizes, But the pic size i got fixed for the main event is the smallest i can get..

Thanks for taking time to comment atleast

Hey, congrats on your first show! I won't hold the blurry pics against you, you warned us and I can see that it would've been a pain to reshoot so much. That's just a technical thing, though. I recommend using Macro mode, if your camera has it, and a tripod to keep your camera steady.

Here's some other things that I feel will help improve your show...

1. Arena: It's ok but your ramp looks like it will break down halfway through the show because of the tin foil. You can build something nice and quick out of cardboard or perhaps use something like the FlexForce Launchin' Entrance Ring playset.

2. Continuity/Posing: There's a couple of instances where the match flow felt disrupted due to shifts in camera angle. For example, when Charlie Haas smashes Shelton Benjamin on the ramp and then takes him to the steel ring post, it looked like he walked all the way across the ring to the far end and then fell backwards. I think it will stabilize your show if you keep a constant layout/camera side to your arena. Whether you prefer the entrance ramp on the left, ring in the middle, and announce table on the right...Or the other way around if it works better for you.

3. Scale back to 1-on-1 matches: There was a lot going on with every match being a multiple of 4: two fatal 4-ways and a 4-vs-4 tag match. That's 16 superstars in three matches, not counting the outside interferences! I can understand that you wanted to get as much out there in your first show (I struggled with the same thing, I have several storylines I want to do but had to put some on the backburner to keep it simple!) but it's a lot to take in. At least you established a healthy roster now, so you can afford to simplify some matches and not put out so many people at once.

4. Referee: I know, refs are hard to find! I don't have one and was forced to improvise. It threw me off when I saw the guys in suits checking on Robbie on the outside towards the end of the first match, though. In fact, I didn't even pay much attention to the suited guy in the ring for a while before that. Once I realized they were your refs, I got more used to it. Since they're non-traditional refs, I feel they should've been introduced earlier. I'd also suggest using a random Jakks figure that you don't care about and painting on a white shirt with stripes. I kept thinking that the GM was in the ring, heheh!

Geez, I sound so nit-picky! I hope this sounds like constructive criticism, I want to be helpful. So let me mention what things I felt worked...

1. Crazy Austin: I like that Austin figure, he looks so goofy and I liked that his commentary matched that. "Hell yeah, gimme a Hell Yeah...HELL YEAH!", I thought that was funny!

2. Good Roster: You got a lot of names out there and have enough to build some solid feuds!

3. Everyone gets a Piece: I didn't think you'd be able to fit everyone in your matches, especially in the main event. Thankfully, everyone got to see a little action!

4. Unbalanced Balance: At first, I was confused why faces and heels were mixed in your 4-on-4 match until I realized that the winners would all face each other in another fatal 4-way for the championship. I liked seeing the disharmony within the teams, especially when Orton RKO'd one of his own team members at the start! Cena, HHH, Taker, and Edge was almost a smooth team but Edge just couldn't help playing dirty, so that's cool.

Overall, I'm glad to see a new fed start and, with a few tweaks, it will just get better so keep it up!

I liked to see a new fed, because I'll be starting a new fed soon as well. Seems like you me, micro, we're a new generation and I think that's good. We gotta support one another, haha.

I won't harp on the usual issues, obviously you need BRIGHTER pics and clearer pics. You should be able to brighten your photos in Windows. It was awful dark in some of them.

I didn't mind the 4 ways so much, cause we're just getting introduced. Obviously we'll care more later, so right now throwing everyone out there isn't so bad.

I loved seeing Hawk and some of the other offbeat characters. I like feds that aren't about the same old couple guys. That said, you kept calling him Animal and I'm a little concerned if you don't know the difference between Hawk and Animal, haha.

Anyways, work on your issues, but at least you got the first one done and you can improve from there.

[RCW]

Thanks alot for the feedback! I feel like an idiot for the animal/hawk mix up

Stage isn't the best, I know and just so you know the foil is wrapped around cardboard:L

anyways new pictures up tomorow!

Thanks a heck of alot for your reply Micro, off to check your fed right now!

Thanks Fandan too! Looking forward to you fed aswell!

Hey, I suffer from Hawk/Animal daltonism too! I always get them mixed up unless I have a cheat sheet. Plus, Hawk is an Animal and an Animal could be a Hawk!

[RCW]

Yeh Izzy, haha.


Its a shame as I had a really good storyline in mind...
