So, a few years ago when pic feds we're on a all time high everyone seemed to want to or actually have an indy fed.
Just wondering after a few years away, what is the general feel on this now?
Are people still loving the indy feds or is it mainstream all the way now?
Cheers.

Indy feds..ALWAYS.
I love seeing peoples customs, i even talked to brm about this, i believe that indy feds have alot more work put into them, therefore theres alot more to appreciate rather than having some cliche roster and cliche storylines.

I prefer to watch indy feds, even though if I ever had a fed, it would be mainstream just because I'm not big on customs. I may go with an indy gimmick if I ever started a fed, using wrestlers real names or previous names.

I like both. I myself am planning a mainstream fed, because I love that big feel you get from a mainstream fed. But I also enjoy seeing the Indy stuff

I enjoy the mainstream, just because I focus more on the storylines and the overall big-time presentation.

I voted indy. I started ROP mainly because I felt that I could never produce a show with as high production values as FCW, JWF etc. if I went mainstream, so I went indy (it just so happened that I was really starting to get into ROH, IWA-MS, CZW etc. at the time) - but over the years it really became a labour of love. There were very few times I was able to go out and just buy someone new for my fed - and on the rare occasion I could, it was to replace one of my shitty customs!
Personally I just prefer indy feds because, for so many years, I was so close to the indy wrestling world. I only really have time to watch WWE now, but for those years where indy wrestling was my life, it was brilliant to see all the different feds each trying out different parts of the indy circuit to fit into their feds.

Sweet, I do miss the days of BAoW / ROG / ROP / IZW / WAP / VWA etc.
I'd love to see if all those feds now returned what the rosters would look like & what was different.

I love seeing peoples customs, i even talked to brm about this, i believe that indy feds have alot more work put into them, therefore theres alot more to appreciate rather than having some cliche roster and cliche storylines. I agree wholeheartedly here. I for one love seeing the skillfully painted customs of indy fed staples such as Jack Evans, El Generico, Necro Butcher, and Sick Nick Mondo on nearly every Indy roster. As far as more work going into an Indy fed, that is 100% true. It takes a lot of work to replicate crappy arenas. Anybody can buy a real scale ring, but those that go the extra mile to make thier own, or use the smaller more intimate basic rings get kudos from me. Another example of more work going into an Indy fed is the backgrounds such as bed sheets, black poster boards, and trash bags, those scream INDY much more than a glossy mainstream high res arena background. Dont get me started on the easy way out pitfall of buying guardrails, or making velvet guard rails, I think cassette tapes, or popsicle sticks used to make guardrails are far more unique and give the Indy Arena a far better feel. Indy for life. |

Come on guys, this is no place to argue about which takes more work. I for one have no personal preference but I like more modern feds as I can connect with the wrestlers more as I have much more knowledge about them rather then some of the guys who make old school feds, which are also entertaining.

I think the question was "indy or mainstream," not "modern vs. classic." I'd take a well done mainstream fed over a well done indy fed any day of the week. It's a matter of taste, and I prefer a mainstream, polished fed to the archaic, flippy-floppy style of most indy feds. Other people love them, and that's terrific. The little guys need a place to earn a living, too.  The only indy fed I enjoyed was the original ECW from about 1994-1998. The was a great blend of polish and anarchy, technical and garbage styles. I haven't seen anyone really nail it in their pic fed, they usually try for one or the other, usually garbage style matches (I didn't name it that!). Different strokes and all that... Wars |
