BWR 'GREAT BRITISH BASH' PPV - Friday 17th April 2015

Just when I decide to go to bed, you release your PPV. Why Titch....why.

Some nice lighting in this one. You must've changed your arena again. Brown vs Burchill starts off the show. Weird, thought the preshow'd go first. First clothesline pose was a little awkward, did you forget a picture? Second one wasn't much better, as it went from clothesline directly to rope rebound without showing a frame of Burchill taking Brown down to the ground, as most clotheslines go. Alpha bomb could've been a really cool spot, shame that it had to be awkwardly reversed. Should've done that one a little later into the match and maybe have Brown follow through. Good job incorporating Katie Lea in the match tho. Pretty decent backdrop, not up to the same standard you usually are though. Match was a little short, flow was rather awkward. Nowhere near your best work, but hey, what could I expect with Paul Burchill and Monty Brown?
Christian promo was pretty good, and had a great bit of photography with the closeup. Couldn't care less about Mason Ryan but I'm excited to see the matchup.

RVD vs Dreamer has some good posing in it. Dudleys come in, a little unnecessary if you ask me. Wasn't that short, wasn't PPV length either. To a lesser extent it suffered from the problem so many hardcore matches I've seen in pic feds do. In real life, even someone like Balls Mahoney paces themself. After all, it's a hardcore MATCH. Not wrestler A grabs weapons, wrestler B hits him in some way involving weapons, wrestler A hits weapons, end of match. Should've been at least some more wrestling involved considering Rob Van Dam, one of the best ring technicians to ever come out of ECW is involved. Not saying it should be RVD vs Jerry Lynn with Tommy Dreamer, but they didn't lock up once.

Adrian Neville coming to BWR sounds good. Custom could use a smaller torso tho, like maybe the later Cena torso? Probably no point in suggesting that as you likely already have episodes with him filmed already.

Would've actually liked to see full preshow matches but the recap was welcomed. To be honest I really only cared about Ryder vs Dango..could've been a nice match.

Santino vs Finlay is good so far. Well on it's way to becoming the best match of the show, but it ended a little too quickly. Either that or I'm reading too fast. No odd poses, nice to see you got an Elite Santino.

Mr Williams talking to Snow...I like where this is going.

Barrett and CAW vs Dudleys. Should be, well to be honest I don't expect much from this match. I'll hopefully be surprised.
Starts off fairly decent. Dunno why Miller fell through a table so early. And then Miller falls through another table. This was over way too soon. Had Barrett not hit the bullhammer it would've been a total squash. Guess that's what you get when you put seasoned veterans against a rookie who's green as grass and Barrett.

Mason vs Christian is decent enough, tho I'm not particularly a fan of Mason dominating. That's just a personal preference. Some of these poses need transition pics, IE, the fallaway slam and vertical suplex. Some decent wrestling, then Taker comes out. Edge returns (called it!) and spears Christian and sides with Taker (didn't call it ). Okay main event, Felt a little on the short side.



I really don't know what to say. Did this show fall short of expectations? Well.....if I'm being honest, not really. The card didn't particularly wow me outside of RVD vs Dreamer, and Mason vs Christian. Those matches weren't all that good to me. The rest of the show, I wasn't expecting much, and wasn't really given much. I'd say "tighten up your posing" but as I've seen following your fed for a long time now, you don't need to. You've had good matches before. You've had great posing before. The posing was heavily lacking in this show, with most of the problems being related to transition pics. It's usually not this bad, but whole matches had their flow ruined by insta suplexes, instant rope rebounds, etc. I haven't seen a show from you with so many rookie mistakes before until this.

I like your fed. Always have, always will. This show could've been a big PPV..instead it felt like an extended version of Shatter with posing done by me lol. You're not bad at this, in fact you're pretty good at it. Unfortunately, this show didn't come up to the standard set by previous BWR shows and heck even the last PPV you did.

GREAT CEASAR'S-SPLOSION the first thing to pop up..."And tonight, the O2 Arena was burnt down becase T could not control his love of pyrotechnics!"

I really do dig the card. I was always a fan of Birchill's pirate gimmick. Not sure why. I guess because I find pirates awesome? lol

For a second I was like "you went with red, white, and blue for your ring rope colors? Why, it's not an American promotion. Then remembered England's flag...it's early here, damn it. Give me a minute!

Booo, Monty. Boo.

LOVED the Dreamer/RVD match. Probably my favorite match to watch on the board, so far. I loved everything about it.

YEAH, NEVILLE!

Pre-show bits were good.

Great unification match.

Boo, Santino. Boo. At least over Finlay

3D cut off by a Bullhammer! YEAH!

...can never hate the Dudleyz winning.

Thanks for the AWE inclusion in the ad!

TAKER! BEARER! EDGE! UNHOLY ALLIANCE



I'm good with Ryan as Champ. Sorry, Christian.

I dug the show. A lot. Great work!

Glad to see this many replies so far!

- Crazy opening shot.
- First match was a valid opener. Some of the poses were a little off.
- All this pyro! Huge event feel.
- That table spot literally made me say "Woah" out loud. cool
- Been looking forward to the Santino match.
- Pre-Show recap is a nice idea
- Not sure on the Jakks/Mattel mix. Finaly looks super fat/Santino looks like a stick
- BWR 2k15! Lol
- Thanks for the WFW shoutout!
- Lighting's a little odd in the main event. Really bright in some spots
- What an ending.

I think it's obvious you've had this mapped out, as the PPV definitely felt like a pay off for several feuds. It was good. Some of the poses were off, but I think it might've just been one of those things. Not going to be perfect all the time. Good show overall, loved the stage, all the pyro, good stuff.

Wooooooooooo!

I'm so jealous how you can pump out these high-quality shows, man.

- Nice opening! I really like that you use the shirted RA and TTL figures as your crowd members. I've thought of getting a few to do that with myself.
- Nice opener. Katie Lea took a sick bump off the apron! I have a feeling that feud is far from finished. What happened to the lighting at the end?
- I have a feeling that Edge is going to make a big return tonight.
- YES! I'm really looking forward to this match. Dreamer and Van Dam are going to leave it all out there!
- It didn't take long for the weapons to come out!
- SICK GUARDRAIL BUMP! I'm surprised that wasn't the end of Dreamer!
- Vintage Dreamer with the guardrail crotch bump...and vintage RVD with that kick! Awesome!
- EPIC LADDER!!! I can see where this is headed...
- Those damn Dudleyz! This is going to get ugly in a hurry... Sick 3D II on those chairs!
- OH YEAH! Back to one-on-one... OH MY GOD! Wow, I'm surprised Dreamer didn't break his spine with that hellacious piledriver! Awesome match!
- This is going to be quite a fight... Marella doesn't know what he's gotten himself into.
- What a powerslam! Santino s taking a beating! Haha top turnbuckle...second turnbuckle...aaand third turnbuckle... Nice!
- The momentum has shifted! I wasn't expecting that. Marella is putting up some serious offense now.
- Woah! How did Santino kick out of that big boot?!
- HOLY SH*T! I can't believe Marella pulled out the victory! That was a damn fine match! Both of those men are going to be sore in the morning.
- I can't believe we're already on Segment 4. Great event so far!
- Al Snow...and HEAD! Oooh, interesting...I wonder what's in store for Al Snow and Head.
- WE WANT TABLES! This is going to a physical match...
- I really dig the look of Miller...his look and attire makes him standout well.
- SEEENTON...OH 450! Crash and burn for Miller! That's gotta hurt! The Dudleyz are in the driver's seat...
- WHASUUUUUUP! OOH! D-Von...GET THE TABLES!
- Nice save by Miller! Ohh, we have some confusion... either way that was one hell of a bump by both Bubba and Barrett.
- Oh, damn...Miller puts himself through another table?! This kid is out to prove something tonight.
- WOAH! Bullhammer counter to the 3D... that was nice!
- OH! What a landing for Barrett through that table! Solid matchup! It was only right for the Dudleyz to win.
- MAIN EVENT TIIIME! JESUS! Christian is getting wrecked so far.
- What strength by Mason catching Christian mid-air! Christian isnt' a cruiserweight! That fall away slam would've made one hell of a thud.
- Christian is still in it...a veteran maneuver with that school-boy.
- Christian is fired up... dropkick with authority! So close!
- OH NO! Oh man I thought Mason had it... come on Christian!
- YES! 1...2...Damn it! Both of these men are fighters!
- OHHH! The table didn't break! Damn, that had to hurt...but this is Christian's chance!
- HOLY SH*T WHAT A MOVE! Both men have to be hurting after that move. Christian is desperate!
- Killswitch! That's it...that's it!
- ?!?!?!
- Dear God...
- EDGE!
- OH MY GOD! SPEAR TO CHRISTIAN! NOOOO!
- Oh my god what an ending to that match! So sad for Christian to lose in such a way though. I figured that Edge would return to attack Christian but I had no idea that the Undertaker would return too!

Overall, that was a supreme event! I really enjoyed it...even some of the matches that I had little interest in were damn good.

This is gonna be awesome. Hopefully I'll get a reply in tonight.

I'll edit as I go along because my computer is spazzing and I don't want to lose an entire reply!

From the get go, I can tell this is going to be awesome. I mean, look at that pyrotechnic display! Cool to see you using the RSR for this event!

I like how this Brown/Burchill match is shaping up so far. Brown sidesteps Burchill and sends him over the ropes. Great posing there. I'm loving the high flying posing with Burchill. That Hurricanrana pose was very well done. Fast forward a bit. Katie taking a bump! Burchill coming to her rescue after getting mauled with that pounce. Good match up. Great way to start!

Dreamer wasting no time getting to RVD! Wow man, you went all out with this setup. It looks like a completely different show. Really feels like a PPV. Some good outside brawling. Fast forward a bit and RVD is in control! Great kick to the face after Dreamer went airborne. Things are getting hardcore very fast. Vicious chair shot and then RVD brings everything bu the kitchen sink?! I like where this is going. Great spots with the barricade! Wow, this match is going to be hard to follow. A lot of great signature moves in this contest. The Dudley Boyz?! Dammit! Glad that Dreamer got some assistance as well. Didn't want it to end like that. That was the most brutal piledriver I've ever seen. Great way to end a crazy contest!

Neville on his way? Cool!

Good recap with the pre-show segment.

Marella already using some questionable tactics in the early going of this match. Finlay loves to fight. He's putting the hands and feet to Marella! Cool dropkick pose there! This match is great thus far. A lot of back and forth. Marella came out on top! I thought Finlay had it for a second there. I like the look of the European title better haha.

Bloody Sunday? Uh oh. I sense some more hardcore action in BWR's future.

That BWR 2K15 poster is awesome. I love little details like that. Wonder what is being asked of Snow.

Things got started pretty quickly in this tag tables contest! Both teams are brawling out out like brutes out there. I like it! Loving the poses that show off the Dudley's tag team maneuvers. Very well done! So many bodies have gone through tables but no one has been put through one yet. The match continues! Woohoo! The Dudley Boyz come out on top! Great match, man. Very fun to watch.

Don't leave Finaly!

Hey! Thanks so much for the shout on that commercial break. :-)

Here we go. The Main Event. Ryan and Christian are going at it, man. Exchanging blows and trying their best to hurt one another I like it. I like the spot where Christian is caught after attempting a crossbody off the stage. I'm liking all of the near falls. It is really building my anticipation for how this contest is going to end. But I'm really enjoying the ride. The splash through the announce table was beautifully shot! You put a lot of effort into this main event and this event as a whole. Christian had that match in the bag and the Deadman makes his return! The Taker figure is beautiful! Christian got screwed by Edge! Wow, what an event.

Overall, that was an amazing show! And I am really looking forward to seeing the fallout from this event. So much went down! thank you for offering up such a great show. the setup, the matches, and the effects really made this feel like a full length pay-per-view. A very special event.

This was a great show. Fully enjoyed it.

The recap was fun..wonder where you got that idea

The last man standing match was awesome, felt like a big time match, damn those Dudleyz, always interfering! So glad Tommy won, i have always liked him and i love the rub he is getting in your fed

The tables match felt kind of short. I think this will lead to a fued between barrett and miller

Santino as a heel instead of a joke is quite fun, this was a good match and i thought Finley would win

Your main event was fantastic, i knew edge was gonna come back..is that the baf bearer? I needs that fig!

Really good stuff T, well done!

Thanks, Wicked. I wasn't going to top respond to replies because the thread had fallen down the board, and it was a while ago, but seeing as though it's been topped, I shall.

@brickandyozen - the hardcore match was based on a few old ECW battles I watched between the two, where weapons and outside brawling generally come into it straight away. Plus, they hate each other, so Dreamer wanted to get his hands on him immediately, rather than start the match in more of a formal manner. I've also tried to put a few more transition pics in the upcoming Shatters, but sometimes it's time that's an issue for transition poses. Post-production is the biggest time consumer for me, and so making the filming time shorter allows me to do more on the graphics and photo-enhancing side of things, as well as being able to put out a show monthly.

Ecks. - thanks for replying and noticing The Brookerz. Pyne Twiggs is in the pipe line

Robert69 - Britain's flag is red, white and blue, not England's. Glad you enjoyed the matches!

@tom180 - many thanks, Neville will be debuting on Shatter 14

attitudesback - I was apprehensive about using Mattels with Jakks (I asked a while ago in the Discussion thread) and think that maybe I got away with it here, although the head size was blatantly disproportionate. Going to be careful with which Mattels and Jakks I put together

JP - glad you enjoyed the show and all of the swerves

Deep Shadows - thanks for the mega-reply and good to see you back around I enjoyed doing the 'lesser' matches, e.g. Burchill/Brown, which made a nice change as I usually leave them till last and focus on making the main event ones the best

@wwerredge404 - which weekend?

(=wwefan617=) - thanks for replying and glad that you enjoyed all of the twists and turns, as well as some of the smaller details like the game poster. I had a chuckle making that, so may make a few other little ones in future!

deskjet - pre-show was done like that so that it wasn't an extra burden on taking up more of my time filming, as well as people's time viewing. Instragam house show matches (like your US tour) would be good to do in this style I reckon

The Champ is Here! - yeah, no idea where I got that idea from it is indeed the BAF fig. I've been waiting 12 months to debut him, so was excited to finally put this show out there and get him used

Wicked - thanks for the detailed reply understandable about the posing as a few people have pointed out, so that's been something I've tried to address when filming subsequent shows. You're only not on that advert as I got pics from shows that were on the first page of the Pic Fed board, so followers on the BWR Instgram could find those shows easily if they came on WF to check out shows. I'm sure once BOH is up I'll slide you in

juaumguterres, f1gh7er and @johnnyt - I'll get round to replying to your latest shows this weekend.

@pooky - wherefore art thou?
