It took a little while, (longer than I wanted) but episode 2 is finally on the air! GWF brings you another night of excellent wrestling action. Remember that Global exists in a magical time when every wrestler is alive, everyone is always in their prime and guys from the 80's through today can interact and it not be out of place. In episode 2, we'll see... - Sixman Tag Team Action!
- Cowboys AND Indians!
- Another match in the World Title Tournamet!
- Persian Clubs!
- And in the main event: Dolph Ziggler battles Randy Orton...
Feel free to leave feedback because I really do love it if you actually read the show and leave a comment. As always there's an emphasis on making the commentary as important as the photos themselves, so don't forget to read that stuff! Enjoy! Hopefully the next episode will happen a bit sooner!

Super solid show you had here. This was great just for show #2.
- Your commentary is great. I find myself sometimes focusing more on the commentary than the action. haha. Keep that up, because commentary is something that really adds to the overall show, but is many times overlooked or taken for granted.
- The matches were all great too. I really enjoyed the Patriot/Shiek match. Probably my favorite segment. Just everything was put together very very nicely.
- Solid main event as well. You've really pulled off the tournament nicely so far. Looking forward to who is the first GWF Champion.
Overall, I really can't think of any negatives. I really enjoyed this. Keep it up, man. This was really good.

Good work I like that you use a lot of customs.
Nice action throughout, really liked the six man match.

Oh man, I've been waiting for this one.
Overall, a pretty solid show. Much like your first one, great poses, great action, great atmosphere. I think what I like about this is that, it feels like a wrestling show I'd find by flipping through the channels. Reminds me of finding a channel years ago that had a bunch of indy wrestling on it throughout the week. So I guess some points for a nostalgia factor.
Nothing really strikes me as a con here, the only thing I didn't like and it wasn't a big deal was that, Bobby's commentary felt a bit forced at times. It felt like you were just trying to cram jokes into the commentary. It wasn't a bad thing, but it felt a little less natural at times. As if instead of trying to capture a good commentary team, you just took Brain's gimmick and turned the dial on it all the way up. But that's just me and I'm probably odd man out with that statement.
As for the action, great matches, great array of talent, some nice custom figure work. Though the six man felt a bit one sided, I don't know if that was the purpose, to be a squash match. It's not a bad thing, guess it just comes off as a bit out of place to have all these back and forth matches, then to see this. But I think your Raven/Dreamer match followed the same outline.
In closing, great show, I can't wait to see more, and I hope that you are able to continue this for quite some time.

Good show, really fun. Bobby "The Brain" Heenan and Scott Hudson are quite the duo. The dialog between these two characters is really funny and entertaining.
Good promo by Dolph to hype his upcoming match with Randy Orton.
Good 3 on 3 match with the Von Erich vs The New Generation. The Tatanka promo was interesting, curious how this will play out.
Iron Sheik's promo was my favorite segment of the night. As I read what he said, I head Sheik and that made it all the more enjoyable. Heenan was hilarious throughout this promo and match. I liked the shots of Sheik doing the clubs. I like the custom The Patriot, he's a real baby face and that's cool, I hope this leads to a feud between the two.
The King's segment with Kerry Von Erich was cool. Hope that plays out in the next episode too.
Randy Orton vs Dolph Ziggler was a good match. Lots of action, and real good use of your space. Was surprised at the ending. This tournament is getting interesting.
I like GWF because of your good story telling, great commentary team, and great use of graphics. Love the GWF and WGN logo's on the screen. And laughed at your "…right onto the Global Dome's infamous marble floor!" I dig the floor, think it adds character to the fed as a whole.
Great job, keep it up!

wrestlingsaten: Thanks. I'm hoping to build up a six man division, but for now a little here or there works.
The Champ is Here!: Surprised to see so much love for the Six man, but it was fast and furious! Definitely trying to diversify the roster a bit.
crissxfire: Thanks man, really appreciate the in depth feedback. The six man was definitely intentionally one sided. I wanted to make it so that the Von Erichs showed off their prowess against the younger guys. I thought that would make for a hot opening bout as a result. Seems like on a lot of older WCCW shows, you'd see an exciting but quick face win to start things off.
You could be right on the Heenan thing, but I have this crazy split personality, haha, so when I start writing the commentary I can't help but have Bobby constantly cutting down. It just comes really naturally to me, but hopefully I can keep it without being too much.
derekbrazen: Glad you enjoyed the show. The Sheik thing probably turned out to be my favorite part too. I had a lot of fun with the segment and the match and sometimes it's nice to do something that's straight up face/heel with less of the shades of grey.
I have some more twists planned for the tournament, so hopefully it'll only get better from here. I also had a lot of fun in that match and my goal is to really put out a diverse and interesting product, using something more than just the same few guys you tend to see everywhere. Hopefully that shines through in the end results.
And yeah, haha, the Global Dome has it's trademark marble floor! Might as well have the commentary play it up.
Appreciate all the feedback guys!

I apologize in advance for the very quick quips as replies, I am pretty much tied up in tons of stuff, but I do want to let you know at least that I am watching the show and enjoying it very much! A solid follow up to your debut episode, man! 5 stars!

Really enjoy your fed! I think youve perfectly blended classic superstars in with a current product. I cant point out why, but your shows remind me of WCW Worldwide which is a good thing. You seem to have this down pat and I cant really pick out any flaws other than some continuation I would have liked to see. Like another MVP promo and Raven or Dreamer. I enjoyed the six man tag match, but felt it should have been a standard tag. I know you havent "announced" any championships yet but with the tag match on the last episode, it could have been the start of a tourny. I love the Patriot push and I have a feeling he will be a big part in your fed being one to remember. Thanks for posting and cant wait for the next!

Izzy - Thanks man, always good to see your replies... Although I miss your longer replies. Haha.
hCo.Brandon_Lee™ - Thanks for the high praise man. I tried to have a little continuation with Lawler showing back up, but I did consider a Raven promo. Ultimately I didn't want episode 2 to be too much of a repeat of Episode 1. I have a fairly large base of guys I want to introduce first and then I think we'll see more recurring appearances. I have to sort of shake out some of this tourney stuff first.
And for the record, the tag match on the first show was part of the tag title tourney. I opted not to have a tag title tourney match this time around. I plan on getting an official thread up eventually which will give the tourney layout and such so it'll be easier for people to keep up with.
Thanks for the goovy feedback!

Ok, I'm finally able to catch up on some shows that have been posted. First off, I really love your arena. I'm a huge fan of actual crowds and guardrails, and you've got that down great. I like that you have all kinds of wrestlers in your fed, with the Von Erics facing off against the New Generation. Lots of great action, with bodies flying all over. I love when it feels like a huge brawl / fight, and that's what I got here. HOLY Tatanka got freaking fat! He's not only been living off the land, he's been grazing. Sheik promo was great. Some classic old school with country vs. country heel / face stuff. Nice little match here, with the nice American pay off. Ha, I love that "Borash" figure. Wow, King out of nowhere! Nice custom too. Ziggler vs. Orton now. I love how this match has a different pace than the legends matches. It makes these matches seem more "youth" oriented, and the action is high. Man, I did not expect Ziggler to get out of the RKO. Nice having him use the ropes to break it, as it keeps the move powerful, but keep things interesting. WOW! Even I was taken off guard by Ziggler picking up the win. Nice push for him. I really like your fed. It's unique in that it crosses eras, and it has a very professional feel to it. I look forward to seeing you keep this going, and becoming a force in pic fedding in the future.
