Congrats June my man on your first fed show. I'm so proud to be a fellow member of the T.W.A with you. You're show was AMAZING from start to finish. Excellent custom figs and the action was top notch. A definite old school 80's vibe to it. Keep up the good work and long live the T.W.A! I cant wait to see you use your custom steel cage. Captain Redneck is my favorite!

This was good, especially if its your first show. I only have a small critique about the string, but other than that it was a great show. Your custom figs are great too by the way. I never saw a Bill Watts used before. It gives your fed a unique flavor with some of the different wrestlers that no one has used before. Keep up the great work.

Match 1: Fine Match that I enjoyed, very much. The story was told well, and you really captured the crazy Cactus Jack and the underdog of sorts Terry Taylor. Was good to see Taylor win, as he is very easy to root for in your Fed. Didn't see Jake Roberts or Paul Ellering coming out and (Roberts) attack Taylor, so that was a nice surprise. Wasn't a fan of Terry Taylor getting attacked, then minutes later giving an interview. I'm guessing that was an 80's thing, so while I may not personally like it, I understand why you did it.
Match 2: Another good Match. Loved the lighting from the Ref holding back Mr. Wrestling #2-DQ finish. The Match was enjoyable, not as much as the first, but still good. I've never been great with Tag Matches, so maybe it's some sort of personal thing about them. I thought the Match should was around perfect length, but the post-Match attack fragged on a little. The moves in the attack were fine, but I just thought you could of cut the length on it, and I didn't understand why Mantel got fed-up with it, then proceeded to wait six pictures and a Bundy Splash later to get in the Ring. Liked Segment 1 better, but this was still a good one. You have a few double-posted pictures after the DQ, so I'd try to fix those.
Segment 3: Loving the Murdoch character. Not much to comment on, but it was a fun segment, and helped establish some more characters in a short amount of time.
The poses were great, but you need to edit out the string with Paint or GIMP. The Arena was tremendous, one of the best I've seen in a while. The Commentary was so-so, but I do like Dusek as the Play-by-Play man, as he looks the part very much.
Overall, impressive first showing, although I don't get the whole show "Part 1 Now, Part 2 Next week" deal, but nonetheless, as long as your Fed is entertaining, it's not much of a problem, besides having to wait for more good action.

Okay, a breathe of fresh air after having to endure the Ric Flair show...
From the first pic, it looks like you have put lots of time, effort and hard work into you stuff. Very nice the way everything comes together, from your ring, arena, set up, photography and story telling to the great posing and fantastic matches.
Mr. Wrestling #2 reminded me of Kinnikuman and the Missing Link looks uber cool too.
The last segment was my favorite, some really great photo perspectives and heated action.
It's a super show indeed!

Great stuff! Taylor gets the duke over Cactus, and is demolished by Jake the Snake! Great customs, I gotta admit, I marked seeing old red pants Roberts, ha. Ellerig sounded as intellectual as ever. King Kong Bundy, the Grappler and the Missing Link are a devastating team! I liked the Portland feud reference for Haynes and Grappler! I pictured you marking out a bit as Watts went for the Stampede! ;D Bundy is a monster! He destroyed Billy Jerk in the corner and took Wrestling II's best shots! Avalanches, loaded headbutts, it was mayhem in the Mid South Arena! Was that Watts's Last Stand? Your arena is so old school studio-ish, it's great! I like the plain logo graphic behind the announcing area. Nice appearance by Andre, btw! Looking forward to part 2! Wars

Good stuff man!
Good match between Taylor and Cactus. I loved the picture of the ref holding the belt with his back to the camera! Great shot. Your poses are good, but you just need to work on the editing of the string and they'll be even better! I really enjoyed the 6-man match, they're one of my favorite kind of matches. Pure chaos at the end! Always a good way to end a 6-man, in my opinion. Oh, and your customs are really good as well! But yeah, great show so far man, can't wait to see part 2!

How the hell did I miss this . This is good stuff june! Opening match was very good. Lots of action and a good way to start the show. 2nd match was incredible. So much going on I had to watch it in segments,lol. Nice highspots, could use of all the wrestlers in the match. The action told a story, nice work with that. Love Bundy as a beast. Akbar's group is loaded. and OMG, I loved the missing Link, watched him back in the UWF days! Oh snap! great ending to the show. 3rd segment: Nice intro of ladd, Murdoch and Andre. Great cliffhanger..when;s the next show? Overall, a great show! Only thing of course would be to edit the string. Other than that, Solid Work! Keep it up!

Fantastic work here! PS: is that a taz in a iron sheik costume in the first seg? It's the late great General Skandor Akbar. I used a Taz head. The likeness is pretty good. Thanks for watching dude.
