BWR 'Shatter' Episode 1 - Monday 4th March 2013

Hey There, glad to be the first commenter and I hope my response is what you are after.

First of love the title and theme at the beginning already makes it feel like a show.

Yes great to have JR and Coach on commentary. Well so far, arena looks sharp and so does the photography as well as all the effects.

WOW! That is a big announcement to start of the show, A new world champ. Interested to say where you go with this as I kinda agree with JR

Nice to see Barrett is a true heel, and there is the world championship, wait Jericho? oohhh like the idea of this.

Nice to see Jericho as a face, just watch the blurry pics, make sure u always go over and check to make sure it is clear like most of them. Orton?

That was a big change of mind, not sure if the Owner is Face or Heel now but that really builds the tension. Feels like a good main event.

Nice backstage area and miny promo with Charles and Wade.

Good squash match with Christian here. Made Christian look really strong and that Kills Switch pose was really good.

Umaga! Nice! Your setting is really nice and this match should be great. This match till the interruption was good. Just watch out for the odd stiff pose or blurry pic that can effect the match flow a bit.

Dreamer. WTF. Well played with him. Made him really look like a threat.

Time for the main event. Main event was a decent match. Liked the guys involved and your posing is really good. Just again watch for the odd stiff pose, blurry or awkward looking one. Just always go back over your pics and create the best pose you can. Alot of hardcore moments and Ryan getting involved was really pleasing. Glad to see him getting used in your fed.

Overall a very good debut show just keep an eye out for the stuff mentioned above.

I have kind of a long write up, but after all the hype, I think it's warranted. I'm a little rough on you, but it's all in the hopes that you can improve stuff. So I hope you don't get upset Titch. I'm not out to pick apart little things. I find that annoying, but the stuff I'm going to mention I think are kind of important, so that's why I mention them.

Okay, first, congrats on getting the show up. I've been looking forward to it. The presentation is nice, different, but overall pretty good. It's a slick basic layout and although the single picture formula is a bit odd, it does work in a nice sense. I have a tendency to read everything and examine it before moving to the next picture, which is an advantage over layouts where tons of pictures show up at once.

Talent wise, I do wish it was a bit more "British", but that's just me. Thankfully you put the belt on Barrett, but a lot of the show just feels like any run of the mill fed that people make in the sense that it's a lot of the same talent. I was thinking maybe things would feel a bit more UKish in roster choices, but hey, I know that you have to work with the figures you got so I can't hold that too much against you.

The short first match was fine, but I was a bit perturbed that the second match ended with a no contest. It was the best match on the show. I think had Dreamer just caned both the winner and loser, it'd been more effective. Instead you robbed the fans of a finish and gave no real reason why Nitro and Umaga would leave. Just a minor thing, but it's a booking thing.

I have some other quibbles. Such as the announcers saying that a chair shot hit the referee when it was a kendo stick. Such an oversight shouldn't be missed on a show this short. It'd be different if you had a huge show and it was one slip up, but this seemed pretty obvius.

Orton intro picture was way too blurry. Again, something that should have been reshot or left out. Your pictures are so crisp and that one was just terrible. Especially since it wasn't an action shot. I can forgive a blurry picture if it's something that was hard to shoot, but it was just him standing on the turnbuckles.

The main event was creative, but bordered on the ridiculous. Again, I'm pretty old school, but I feel like you basically used up every table bump for the next year. You had like 75 tables in that match. It starts to be less effective each time you use it, so it sort of ruined it for me in that sense. One big table bump or a couple plotted out. I felt like a lot of the action was just, setting up more tables. Started to become comical.

Whew, that's a lot of gripes... But please don't take it the wrong way. I feel like the fed has infinite potential. I loved more than I disliked. The show flowed well and the announcing was good. As was the personas for the characters. The smarmy promoter is good as he's such a weasel and you managed to establish that in just a couple of promos.

I liked the ending of the main event as well. Set up some good things. I just feel you need to perfect a few little things and you'll have a GREAT fed on your hands. As is, the good stuff is so polished that as soon as something shows up that's not polished, it sticks out like a sore thumb.

Line of the night goes to the Coach. I laughed at this one:

Coach: Maybe Dreamer can demand to be put into that match too!

Overall good stuff. Looking forward to more.

Glad to see you’re back in the game, I was a huge SCW fan, it was the first pic fed I ever watched and inspired me give it a shot years ago. Randomly stumbled back into the pic fed section last week and saw you were starting BWR, so I’ve been waiting to watch this.

- Love the opening with the logo and music. Very nice setup as well, I always prefer the smaller setup rather than a huge entrance ramp and tron.

- Opening segment was done well, handing Barrett the BWR championship right off the bat did the job of establishing him as a top hated heel. Hoping the main feud out of the interaction becomes Barrett/Jericho, I think you could pull off some entertaining promos and matches with those two.

- First match in BWR history was short and sweet, I can’t complain about anyt match that has Christian going over. Not sure what kind of character you’re trying to get out of Eugene, the WWE character or a Nick Dinsmore wrestling machine. I am rooting for the latter since you have limited roster space and you have to make every spot count.

- Looking forward to the CCLC on the next episode, cameos by legends is always great, should lead up to some entertaining stuff.

- The poses in Nitro vs. Umaga started off stiff, but by the end of the match they became a lot better. I don’t know if you filmed segments of the match at different times or not, but I could see a progression in confusability with your posing.

- Loving the idea of Tommy Dreamer being a loose cannon of sorts, will make for some interesting interactions. I also want to see what happens during the British Championship tournament because both Nitro and Umaga will have legitimate gripes about not having been eliminated.

- Absolutely loved the TLC match, you always put on great hardcore style matches. Mason Ryan coming in at the end was a surprise, maybe the Nexus comes to BWR? Glad that Barrett walked out with the championship, great ending picture with Barrett standing over all the carnage.

Really strong first show, their were some blurry pictures and stiff poses, but you will work off the pic fedding rust. Glad you threw in a TLC match for the first episode, I’ve always felt your debut show needs to be treated almost like a Pay Per View. You need to give the viewer a hook to come back and I think the TLC match showed what you are capable of doing. Looking forward to episode two.

Also before I forget… BWR needs more Brookerz, just an FYI.

Good show Titch, I had a few complaints but this being your first show in years I think it wasnt too bad.

Blurry pics are something you need to check obviously, and I also thought a few of the poses were kinda blah, but I did enjoy the show as a whole, nice setup and a good starting off point o your storylines.

T.L.C was a little too much, too many high spots ruin the story IMO, bit it was entertaining as hell.

Congrats on your return, hell its good to see ANY new pic feds on here so please keep it up and good luck.

Alirighty! Great to see you back on the board! Love the layout, great transitions. Opening was well done and really like how it played out. Definitey a great start to this new fed. Looking forward to seeing how the British title tournament comes together. Can we get the brackets next show perhaps? Nice to see dreamer get a little push. Always enjoys seeing mid card type guys get pushed in feds. The main event was excellent and played out very well. You always wanna justify your champion choice and you did so in a way that left the door open for future storylines. Having a Brit as champion is a good choice as well. Hoping you emphasize the clashes between GB and USA. Very good start and it's so nice to see all the quality shows coming back to the board. Keep up the good work!

Well, this was a nice surprise show. I finally finished filming and editing my show, so I have time to check this out. Good opening segment. Nice to have the entire fed and the world title picture all set up in the opening. I'm excited to see what you do with the TLC format later on...should be awesome. I'm not a big fan of Eugene, but I do like Christian. Nice way of putting Christian over. I hope that's not how long all your matches will be, but I like that it looks like you're building Christian up towards big things. Dreamer...nice! Always been a big fan. Nitro vs. Umaga! It's like I'm back in high school watching Raw! Haha. I'm really digging your roster man. Nice to see some string for the aerial moves, it's always appreciated. Dreamer cleaning house! Christian and Dreamer as big time players in your fed is awesome in my opinion. Good pushing more uncommon guys and not just current people. Man, you have TONS of tables and chairs around the ring! This is gonna be awesome! Man, this is insane! Lionsault through the table, that Winds of Change was sick! Total carnage! Man, everyone's just flying around the ring getting driven through tables, DDT'd on chairs! Mason Ryan and Wade Barrett as a team!? Nice. I will say this. The match was kind of short, but you really pull out all the stops. You made it feel jam packed, which is something I really liked. I didn't feel jipped by it being short, because you really stacked it was tons of spots. Really enjoyed it. Overall, I really hope you'll be doing these regularly. The board really needs consistent and good fedders, and a veteran like you is much appreciated.
