Wrestling City Mayhem Ep. 04

I'm glad I'm the first to give you a reply on this. When I post a show, I purposefully get off my computer and will not check WF for like, a day, and then I come on and see what feedback I got. And it seems every time I do that, you always are in the first round of replies, because after the first day, I go for another day without looking, so I usually know who replies during which round. Anyway, I am glad to be in your first round, if that makes sense. "A boiler room? What a creepy place!" Man oh man, this is dialogue I could hear the Tick saying as he's narrating before going on patrol! I love it. Oh man, if this was a comic book, I would add it to my pull list. This is really interesting, edge of seat stuff truly. I sincerely hope that it's the Gangsters doing this, as I read that in New Jack's voice. Man, it's only the opening segment, and I already am freaking out with excitement. Awww, no body suit Rey in the hospital! No, I didn't think it was Rey's living room this time. Ha. I just about fell over in my seat! Dr. Nash! Dr. Nash as in one of TNA's top 3 greatest angles of all time Dr. Nash! And an editors note to boot! Wow! You will believe that happy crappy! Handshake? NO! KLIQ! Wow. I believe that WCM has officially filled the void in me that was created when Ben Edlund stop producing Tick comics. This is amazing stuff. I LOVE comics, and this is top quality stuff man. This is what a wrestling comic should be. "Nose...Breaks..." Man, that shot could have been in a Batman comic. It's so Batman. Man, you're like Robert Rodriguez with all these Mexican references. "A winner...or a yellow bastard?" HA! That's amazing. Ok, I am SO into this Rey angle. Jericho looked freaking awesome with a bloody nose. You have the best effects in the business. Man, that Angry Man interview was so Benoit. Awkwardly trying to get a pop and be intimidating, and just throwing the mic down as quick as he could. At least he didn't try to infwlick pain...on the Raven....And I'm so happy Nash was revealed, as he's still a WCW guy. Wait...the man in the Rocky robe had pink boots! Is it FLAIR!!? Oh, apparently the commentators knew too. "Hebner knows that Flair is using the federation rulebook to his advantage...curses!" Wow. You may have better dialogue than Bryteran...maybe. Oh man, is it bad that I was giddy when I saw epilogue, as it means we get MORE! HAHAH I just laughed out loud at Simon Dean "the pusher." WOW! Man oh man. Let me just confess something. The last show I really really dug, but I did not read every word. This show? Your opening segment and Dr. Nash made me read EVERY WORD of this whole show. And now I think I might have to go back and re-read / watch all your other shows. You're the Chikara of Pic Fedding - you're so much more than pic fedding. This should be a TV show, or a comic. Hell, I'd read this shicrap. You are new fed of the year, hands down for me. Thank you for the entertainment. What a freaking awesome way to spend a Friday night. Now I'm off to watch PWG DVD's.

So much to love here. Actual storytelling and storylines. Not necessarily wrestling storylines, but storylines none the less! I love it. Reminds me a lot of a wrestling comic, but in a good way. Most those old wrestling comics were pretty terrible, but you have one that's brilliant.

Love thw website by the way. I think you and I are the only ones with nice bios of our characters. The layout is great and it's a fun way to fill in the gaps. Also love the Dr. Nash ad in the corner, haha!

Everything about this fed is great and your style allows you to hide string edits and stuff perfectly. It really works. The referee argue spot was fun as was the matches. The blood effects worked well oddly enough and there was just too much goodness to mention it all.

The matches themselves were just okay, but your fed isn't so much about the matches, it's the overall story and the conflicts. The matches to me are just the means to the end. So it works out well and they weren't bad by any means. I'd much rather a match like those than a 900 picture match that supposed to be a classic or whatever, with no storyline, no drama, no entertainment value. Anyone can take pictures of figures in wrestling poses, but few can make their characters come alive. You have succeeded in that.

Glad you enjoyed both the show and the website! More stuff will be added to the site as the Wrestling City Community grows and new people are introduced. Can’t just stick to the same 6 guys week after week… Indeed, the comic book format allows for better editing of “magical strings”, or in my case “Mattel flight stands”.

“The matches themselves were just okay, but your fed isn't so much about the matches, it's the overall story and the conflicts.” Indeed, I’m glad the matches are making sense as a way to tell a story, because every time I start a match, the first thing I wonder is how much it will bomb, since everybody here puts on awesome matches. Then I just focus on making it fun for me and just hoping the fun will catch on.

Hope you keep watching and having fun!

Yeah, I’m glad I’m sticking to the format too. I thought it just wouldn’t stick here, and I’m so glad people who comment are pretty much enjoying the comic book format of the show and the odd mix of drama and silly non-sense that goes on in the ring and backstage. I grew up in Argentina, my homeland, watching the crappiest TV wrestling shows, with characters like “The Mummy!”, the “Tango Dancer!”, “The Mean Italian Pasta Chef”, “The Mongol” and stuff like that, and I guess that shows through some of the “cheap TV, cheap editing, cheap props” aspects of WCM. Most of the backstage stuff is actual prop material, some background shots are photoshopped stock images (the building exteriors, cityscapes, boiler room and even Dr. Nash’s waiting room). Keep watching the show! Wooo!

Thanks for taking the time to reply, man. I hope my replies aren't taken as bumps, I don't like bumping my own stuff, but I don't like leaving people's comments unanswered either.

I think we will discover the fate of the person in the boiler room pretty soon!

Yeah, big manly wrestling toys sitting in Doll House furniture, raises lots of questions! Lol! By the way, Flair does ride a Barbie car in Episode 03. He's so studly, he can get away with it.

Thanks for complimenting the poses, as I consider myself an average poser and don't ask the figures to do more than their joints (and gravity) allow them to.

I too have noticed how many fights always seem to end up, or resolve themselves, out of the ring. Nasty habit of mine, I find myself contained within the ring vs. fumbling with the figures in the open. I wonder if WCM could become a ring-less Fed?

"Angry's stalker is ROCKY BALBOA OMG!!!!! Or maybe not, well we don't know yet obviously. But god that would be hilarious." I like that idea, but the robe was used due to being the nearest available prop... but anything is possible here.

Obviously the Pusher is a bad guy, yet your comments gave me an idea for something I might include in the next episode (which is already in the Editing Room, yeah!).

Being a comic book geek, I have also pondered many times actually printing the Episodes just to see what they would look like...

Thanks for watching, sharing and commenting!
