THIS WEEK WE GO BEHIND THE SCENES OF $G-Money$'s NWA:
1.What got you started in pic fedding?
I've actually been wanting to do a pic fed for a few years now. I never could decide on what "brand" of fed I wanted to do until recently. I actually discovered pic fedding and wrestlingfigs.com by looking for an NWA logo and running across a NWR logo of deskjet. Not long after that I was hooked to this site and quietly stalked the pic fedding community without anyone knowing haha
2. Why do you choose the old school approach?
The old school approach I thought would be much different. NWA/WCW stuff is what I grew up on whereas most of the world watched WWF. The NWA was pure athleticism and didn't do any of the big spots through tables and off ladders like you see from a few feds. I like standing out and being different. The NWA allows me to do this
3. What do you enjoy most about pic fedding?
My fed in general, its rekindling old feelings of my childhood. I remember the days of sitting in front of the tv with my Galoob figures watching Flair, Sting and Luger. Pic Fedding brings me back to being a kid again, which everyone has in them...They just need to figure out how to bring it out.
4. What do you least enjoy about pic fedding?
It's very time consuming. At 25 years old I have A LOT on my plate. 10 years ago I could crank out shows left and right as most people do in the community. I'm pretty OCD as well so I want to try to make everything perfect and that takes time as well. Just like the filming of Beach Blast...Its been put off for almost a month because of my "disliking of the arena flooring"....I want to make things perfect for the viewers of my fed.
5. What was your motivation behind the creation of Axl Anderson?
Axl Anderson was actually created 10 years ago in during my freshman year in High School. To those that dont now, Axl Anderson is "me" We had a backyard wrestling fed that lasted 5 years. Many of the created stars you see in NWA come from that fed. Edward Idol, Rich Kavana and Axl Anderson were all there. Axl is really the "man" i wanted to be when I was 15. I wanted to be that sexy beast that all the women wanted to be with and all the guys wished they were. Axl is pretty much a mixture of mine, Ric Flairs and Tully Blanchard's personality
6. Can you give the fans any hints about future NWA legends set to debut?
Haha...I hate giving out spoilers but if I can buy or create a figure of an NWA legend..You will see him. There is quite a talent pool I have that has yet to debut. Nikita Koloff, Lex Luger, Magnum TA, Sting, The Road Warriors w/Paul Ellering and The Great Muta should all be making appearances very very soon!
7. What's your take on the state of pic feds?
I think its definitely picked up in the past 6 months. The community was really rocking 2 years ago when I got here but it died off. I think when Pookey was de-modded it was a real stab in the heart for the pic fedders. Luckily all the old timers have banded together with the up and comers and we are together bringing life back to pic feds. I dont think we've reached the peak yet but its definitely within our sights.
8. Any final thoughts?
I would just like to encourage anyone who is thinking about pic fedding to jump in and get into it. Dont be worried about criticism and don't be offended by it. Nobody is perfect and we all have our faults. Just take the criticism and keep working at it. Everyone here is pretty cool and will help you in anyway possible. I myself have passed storyline ideas to some people and even worked out trades for parts for figures they need in their feds. I myself am willing to help anyone as much as I can. My PM box is always open just shoot me a message. I also want to thank DJ and Extreme (wherever he's been) for giving me this change to be in PHW Weekly. I also want to thank everyone who has replied to my shows and given me constructive criticism to improve my brand!
Thanks:)
