Okay, so It's not a complete show, but because I've decided I'm going to go in a different direction regarding my FAW fed, I thought it would be a waste to scrap this match entirely. So, as this is the first ever match I've attempted for a fed, i thought I'd post it here to get some feedback on it from you guys. I did actually film the rest of the show for this Smackdown, but I've changed my mind on how my show will be produced when it launches. I'm just going to have one show (Mayhem) and have that as my 'TV tapings' and then PPV's. This is to give an indication on how my shows will be, with the layout etc... so here it is...

This was great for a first match, presentation was spot on, you set up was great. Good commentary,
Really the only bad was some poses were stiff, specifically punches, your arial poses were fantastic
Very strong debut

This is actually very very good. I have nothing negaitve to say regarding poses. Although, try and get rid of the VHS tapes and get some other sort of barrier.. And with your backdrop being black it should be easy to edit the string... everything else is on point and if you keep at this you will have one of the best feds on this board.

Yeah, quite a lot of the poses are off, but hopefully I'll get much better at that as i go on. I'm happy with how the arial shots came out as well as I attempted string which was a first for me, so I'm glad they came out alright! Thanks for the kind words! |

Definitely going to look into the barricade situation...I'm not happy with the VHS's myself, so that will definitely be a change I make for the launch of Mayhem. Thank you for the kind words! |

Yea this was a really well put together match. You had the characters down well and the commentary was well scripted although I'm surprised teddy wasn't pissed about not having a tag team match, lol. Posing was very good throughout, perhaps a little more dynamic poses with the lock ups and if you can edit the string, but nothing terrible. Arena and lighting is well set up and love the name of the fed. Been enjoying your work since Instagram and really looking forward to seeing more of what you have to bring here to the board. Great start so far:)

Ah, Woods! I've been looking forward to seeing something from you! Let's see what we've got: -Already from that first shot I can tell you've worked hard on this. Crisp, clear and that arena is cool. -JR and T-Lo on commentary? I like it! -I love how you've established feuds already and have provided a backstory on them as well. One of my rookie mistakes with GWA was establishing feuds without a backstory. So props to you for not making that mistake!  -Miz's promo was on point. -That Mysterio's nice! What series is that one from? -That lock-up pose is SWEET. I always struggle with that one. -You've got Mysterio's move-set down to a tee. -HBK Outta Nowhere! That was brilliant. I loved it from start to finish. There were a couple of stiff poses here and there, but on the whole it was very well done. I'm looking forward to seeing a full show from you soon! |

Great start so far:) Thanks for checking this out! The lighting with this is just natural daylight, which is the only thing I'm struggling with at the moment as the lighting in the room is poor when it's not a sunny day. Meaning I can only work on FAW in the daytime, and I work day shifts so I've only been able to do bits on my days off. So I'm going to invest into better lights for my room and hopefully then I can work on FAW anytime I want. I'm thinking of doing bits of FAW Instagram exclusives in the future, to help move things forward faster, inspired by your US title tour. So keep a look out for anything FAW that might pop up on Instagram in the near future! |

Congrats on becoming co-mod! Yeah, I wanted my set up to be as tidy as possible, but there's still a few adjustments I want to make to it, so hopefully that'll improve it. Always liked the idea of a heel Teddy Long on commentary, haha. I'm unlikely to continue this feud in the launch of Mayhem. I'm still undecided on that yet, but I will start a couple of story lines with back stories to help speed things a long a little. Thanks for the kind words, and hopefully a full Mayhem show is not too far away! |

Darthbob gave some good tips on how to do some lighting over the spring and now I'm trying to do some evening work as well.. So far it's been good but sunlight definitely is the best I think. Looking forward to the Instagram exclusives. Definitely a good way to fill out storylines and expand the brand. I'll be watching and let me know if you need any help with anything |

Damn. This puts us all on notice. For a first match, I could find very very little wrong with it. So much potential here. Awesome, awesome stuff. Super excited for the full shows.

To be fair this was the better match of the two i filmed for Smackdown IMO, I did a IC title #contenders match between Luke Harper and Dolph Ziggler as well. But, I never got round to adding commentary to that one. I may put that one together on movie maker and post it as a YouTube exclusive match or something in the future. Thank you so much for the kind words! I've got loads of ideas for storylines in FAW and with such a positive response from everyone who's viewed this match so far, it's definitely motivated me to get filming Mayhem shows! |

For a first match this was really great. The mechanics of it, like the lighting and pic quality are all there already, and the commentary and promos were well written and - something of a bugbear when I see it in other Feds starting out - wasn't filled with poor spelling or grammatical errors. The match itself was good, and like others have said, just a little bit of work needed for the poses. Really looking forward to seeing more, there's bags of potential here.

The lighting is something I need to sort going forward as this was shot early on in the day meaning it was just natural light in the shots taken. Hopefully I can get some decent lighting in my room and I'll be able to take better shots in the future! I've got loads of different stories in the works for FAW, so stay tuned! |

Lighting is good. Even, not overbearing.
Shots are clear.
Setup is quality.
I did see where Champ was coming from with some stiff poses, but nothing awful like my first match had.
Very, very well done. I'd watch this as an episodic series. Hopefully this wont be your last contribution to the board!

Hoping to get a good consistency with the lighting for my future shows as i don't want to be tied down to just being able to film in the day with the natural light. This is just the start! once my first Mayhem show is out, FAW is here to stay! |

Just let me know. It already looks good, though! |
