What? Robbie E as TV Champ is beating us in ratings right now?! That is sad...
Sigh, I've noticed the slowdown in activity lately as well. I figure that the holiday season has a lot to do with it, there's lots of family stuff happening right now. On the bright side, it looks like several new members are gearing up to put on new shows and that's a good thing. The sign-ups for Figamania looked promising, too. Hopefully, this lull just means that everyone is recharging their creative juices for the new year!
It is a sad sight to see some of our veteran members hanging up their cameras, though. ROP and WWEF, in particular, were two big influences on me! It does leave a big void here, I'll admit. I'm glad that Warsman has come back to give us GWGP matches, they're like hidden gems within our recent PPV's and deserves its own show!
I want to encourage new shows/activity and one idea I had in the backburner was updating our FAQ with some new tutorials. I was thinking of breaking them down into several relevant pic fedding topics, like assembling arenas, posing/string, booking, photo techniques, etc. Each topic would have a special guest instructor...For example, Mikey might give us some tips for booking shows! I'd also like to get RatedWWEF's insight on this, if possible.
It's just an idea right now for something that might be fun to do in the near-future!

Good job posting them links, Tom. I didn't really remember what shows you had done until I saw the first link, I dig your hardcore style and your single match format quite a lot. You have an original set up and indeed hardcore action.

I do believe I painted myself to a corner with WCM #9. I am struggling to find the continuity and I am really really pondering doing a total retcon and retelling the entire episode...

i have decided for my first couple of pic feds it will be single matches (like one match on a card) and then build up to episodes.

Do it, bro. I'm considering experimenting with the 1 match layout myself, you can always fill up with interesting backstage happenings or just leave it as a mini-episode.

Hey guys, sorry I have been away from the keyboard for a while. Hope all is well. Micro, sounds like a good idea. I would be happy to get involved with that. Just send me a PM telling me what you have in mind and all that jazz.

Well, our "un-official" official thread hasn't seen any action from December 18, making it look more empty than a WCM Arena. I have been stuck with WCM since wrapping up #9 to dismal replies, but ironically, the show has gone from 150+ views (my lowest ever for a show) to 230+ after brm finally replied. I appreciate the spike in interest, however it came to be but I was still stuck. I went through several possible scenarios and actually considered calling it quits for the show until last night, not due to replies or views or anything like that, just because I got stuck and uninspired to continue while balancing making a show that is fun for me with matches that are fun for me but that still have some sort of "system" for wrestlers to advance towards that Eagle Belt. Anyway, I finally figured it out, regardless of it meaning some matches I was not expecting to make, and one way or another, Mr. Nature Boy Ric Flair will have to defend his title at WCM #13, that much I can tell you...

Glad to see you're going to continue with it. So many feds have died recently that I don't know what would happen if we lost WCM.

Hey, everyone. I'm Ziggler Mark. I'm a new member, and I am interested in starting a pic fed. I will call it "HWF", the Heel Wrestling Federation. Updates to come, but these are the developmental stages.

My name's Ziggler Mark: # heel( for my fondness for Ziggler) That's where the Heel in HWF comes from.

Excuse my ignorance, what would a supercard be? A wrestling event where many promotions put on a match during the show. It's like Figamania or Freedomania.
