Originally, I was going to do a stop motion fed called FWF. I made the intro for it, and realised there was no chance in hell of ever getting a show put together. I didn’t know about pic fedding until a couple of years later. On that subject, how did you all discover pic fedding? I randomly came across a show featuring a World title tournament that was won by Eddie Guerrero. HHH then immediately beat him for the title, and I was pissed. 😂 I discovered it through Harrison's videos while randomly watching figure videos on YouTube. It's quite cool to think about, considering I'm doing my second joint show with him soon. Full circle, eh? As far as how I got started, I did animations for years with my fed XWE. Then I came up with the concept for W3A which was originally intended to be an NXT style animated show in 2013, hence why my first series of shows all had yellow ring ropes. I was friends with a pic fedder/animator called fireballx90 at the time who convinced me to give pic fedding a shot. I made one last effort with XWE as a pic fed before dropping it and starting fresh a few months later, fully committing to W3A as a pic fed. I've made a few animations here and there but I don't think I could ever go back to it full time.
I still remember when W3A first debuted here. It’s probably the only pic fed where I’ve seen every one of the shows.

Well originally I was doing stop motion, and my show was legends of wrestling, and I kind of cheated with my rumble, I started my rumble at entry number 25, my show was originally a highlight show, but I really didn't have the time I'd like to have had to dedicate myself to stop motion. I used to make Lego animations before I decided to do wrestling, and it was a whole different ball game. So in theory I never done a full rumble, and the thought of doing one is rather daunting. And I myself, take my hat off to anyone that's done a pic fed or fully animated rumble. Ha no kidding, I also used to make Lego animations years before I got into pic fedding. I don't think I could even consider animating a full Rumble, it would take forever! I spent a fortune on Lego, now my kids play with it if I'm not finding bits and standing on them, ouch... Pic fedding was introduced to me by a friend, while I was in awe of captain McKay when I first discovered his videos. And made the switch from Lego to wrestling, made numerous rigs for my stop motion, but editing q lot if pics and stuff kind if took the joy out it for me. My mate started his pic fed and for months tried to get me on board, I wasn't interested really, I was quite bummed out about not doing the stop motion and spending a fortune on mattels, and ended up selling most of my Mattel figures, and then I bought the bret hart shawn michaels Montreal jakks classic set, as I always wanted it, then just started collecting jakks again, and decided to give pic fedding a shot. And I do prefer it to stop motion, both for watching and making. Although I do feel mattel elites would have been better than the classic superstars line, with more articulation, but I dont want to go down that road again, not with the price of some of them elite legends

Spent some time at my Mum’s house the other day where the last bits of my figures are kept. For old times sake, I made a super quick set up and snapped a few shots of some of my old favourites. Had a few ideas, but I just don’t have the time to do anything pic fed anymore but thought I’d share anyway... IND-Y-PENDENT: THE REBIRTH?

Set this up today for a test run, it’s not perfect, but it’ll do the job. https://www.instagram.com/p/B0LXWSggVni In addition to this bit of news, I’ve scrapped my plans for ASW and started over fresh. I don’t just want it to be a rehash of old WWF stories and matches, this is going to be something different.

Looks like two Cells or even the classic WCW cage joined together which is badass. Whenever I eventually get around to doing my WarGames show, I'll be using the blue bars cage. It's cool how everyone's been putting a different spin on it.

WarGames is my all time favourite gimmick match, so I want to do it justice.

Looks cool, and I like how it comes out past both rings, kinda gives your own version of it, and can have some extra nice spots from the outside as well Edit Where did you get the ambulance that's under the table?

The ambulance is made by Bruder. I got it from work, but you should be able to get it online.

Then these came in to work, and my boss was cool with me bringing in a couple of figs to try out for scale before I bought it.

I have printouts to make one, but obviously the doors and stuff are inoperable. I've added it to my "to buy list" 😄

I've been feeling pretty burned out on fedding this past week but I got a little more work done on RVD vs Jericho for 'Are You Ready?' tonight. Happy with how it's coming along so far!

I saw that earlier, looks great! Instagram is a fun place to practice posing different sequences too if you're up for it.

Really want to make this fed, unique! really inspired by ECW and the whole lot of indy promotions like czw, pwg, roh, chikara and so on.

Hey guys, long time no see! For those that don't know me, my name is Johnny and I've been pic fedding for the past 7 years now. My fed is RISE! Pro and you can find the newest show on this link: www.youtube.com/user/everyoneknowsit99 (disclaimer, if you don't like silly wrestling, that´s probably not for you haha) I'm also one of the founders, with Harrison (EWF), of We The Movement. Which is a movement (duh) to help out new pic fedders and create a solid basis for the next generations of pic fedding. Besides that, we want to bring the community together as one. You can find us on Instagram @_wethemovement. If you have any questions regarding starting your fed or just a question in general, or just want to chat, you can send us a message on IG or can send me a message here. I'll slowly but surely make my way to watch and reviews the shows in the forum, as I want to be more active around here. Cheers!
