for the newly reinstated Tag Team Championship belts
Jon Moxley vs 
His mystery attacker revealed!
The Flock vs The Job Squad 9 man elimination tag!
Is it the end of the war, or is it just the beginning?

Personal notes:
I liked every match except the main event. Don't view it in a google chrome browser even though I split it into 4 parts. It is important for new viewers to watch the video recaps. |

Those pictures are HUGE - I tried viewing it in Firefox and it near killed my computer. Might be worth running it through an image resizer programme to get the resolution down, so it loads a bit faster.
Not really a fan of the whole 'The Hood' thing - just seems very negatively stereotypical, so I couldn't really get into the match because I don't care about the Outlaws, and I wasn't enjoying The Hood. Sorry. I get that you're going for an ECW Gangstas type thing, but I just really didn't enjoy the characters.
The Moxley/Pillman feud is interesting, two very similar gimmicks from past & present clashing is always interesting, and throwing Corino into the mix adds a bit more fuel to the fire. I enjoyed this match, it gave me something to get invested in which is always important, and there were some good spots.
Enjoyed the Flock/JOB Squad match, but it was a bit hard to follow because I didn't really know who the people were meant to be - I didn't realise that was Danny Doring in the Hart Foundation gear until he got stretchered out, as The video didn't really explain it, but it was still a fairly decent match. I particularly liked the fake on the Noble turn, that was well done. Ending keeps things interesting, I'm curious to see what you do next.
Jericho vs RVD was my favourite match of the night, thus far, though the Dirty Dutch run-in was a bit meh, it interrupted the flow of the match for me, as I was really enjoying it up to that point. The ending was really good, it built well, with the way they introduced and used the weapons, set it up for a really big finish. Though I wasn't too keen on the Dutch Mantell run in, I'm interested to see what you do with him and RVD.
I understand what you were going for with the main event, but it was a bit of a deflating ending to the show. After the great Jericho/RVD match, it felt a bit flat to have a bit of a non-main event, even if the swerve was in itself interesting - I think it would have been better to have the main event go on a bit longer, before you had the run-ins. You have to think about if it was a real PPV, people would be pretty upset I'd imagine at that ending, and it's the sort of thing that can lose momentum. I know those same rules don't apply here, but I always tried to treat it like it did, and I think the best pic feds did too.
Nonetheless, it was an enjoyable show, two good matches in the Survivor Series and RVD/Jericho matches bookended by two that I really didn't enjoy. I'll keep an eye on your fed, because there are enjoyable elements, hopefully you can work on making it a better show all-round. If you need any help with anything just drop me a PM, I'm always happy to help.

If you need any help with anything just drop me a PM, I'm always happy to help. The huge pics will be fixed from now on since I found out how to resize them. If I had all the money in the world "Da Hood" and the outlaws wouldn't exist in BDW. Their sole purpose is to be used for the tag division. I don't really like the outlaws either but Da Hood is basically a plot device for a future debut (you'd be able to guess it very easily). Corino/Mox was a favorite of mine from the card. The flock-job squad feud is tricky for me to figure out because while turns keep things interesting, it gets redundant if you overdo it (The feud only has 2 turns and both have already happened). I'm not sure how many people want to see the same thing done over and over (only done 2 full flock vs full job squad matches though) and my audience is usually the same since there's only 8 or so people that frequent this board. I was really unsatisfied with Jericho vs RVD until I watched it over. Even though it was my least favorite before editing, it did turn out to be the match of the night. Dutch running in wasn't too sensical but it worked for the foreshadowing for the "I can do whatever I want" story involved at the end. It didn't do much to affect the finish though. I do agree that the main event should've gone longer, I was going for "Rhino's a monster" but I shouldn't have involved punk at all with the finish. This is the only time I've done something like this and will likely be the only time. Thanks for replying. |

Alright, been looking forward to this one. On some levels it definitely delivered. Came up short in a few spots.
I actually like the Hood. Yes, it's playing to the stereotypes, but that's what ECW did. Prefer that you're doing your own thing even as a ripoff of the Gangstas, rather than having the Gangstas. Just my .2 though. I do wish VKM had done some more stuff though.
I'm a big fan of your Pillman. Corino wasn't your best custom. Just looked like giant Punk.
Flock and Job squad had a lot going on. But that was an intense match and you've built that feud up very well. I liked it.
RVD/Jericho wasn't bad either, some great moves and a nice flow. I like the use of Dutch as a heel authority type figure.
Main event was strange. Not much going on, seemed VERY stiff. Looked like Sabu rammed his own head into Rhino's chair. Sabu custom is awesome, but main event segment was confusing. Paul Heyman just sort of fell over.
Overall, good storyline development and a nice pace for a show, definitely had that ECW middle of the card is the best part feel. Your camera takes crisp pics, but sometimes the focus seems to be on random things. So the figures will be slightly out of focus but the rope will be sharp. Might just try and make sure the main focal point is the action. And other than a few stiff poses and the strange main event issues, it was a pretty solid show.
I think you need to decide whether you want to completely rip off ECW or do more of your own thing. At times it seems like you're only doing your own thing because you don't have the vintage ECW roster. I like your own stuff with the ECW vibe better.

The only reason I actually have Da Hood is because they're a rip off of the gangstas. They're just a plot device for a future debut...  Corino was a terrible custom mainly because I couldn't paint the hair or mustache in time. And the boots are wrong and the trunks were wrong. The middle of the card being the best wasn't on purpose but that's what happened. The beatdown of sabu should've lasted longer though. I'm glad to hear that I'm improving (from you and from Mikey). Eventually when I get my perfect roster it'll be a mix of IWA/FMW/CZW/ECW and maybe a couple wwe guys (I can see Noble and Ryan lasting a while but I'll prob drop Jobby Curtis sometime after the flock/job squad feud is over.). Even when I have the ideal roster I'm going to continue on with basically a new version of ECW. Thanks for the reply. I should probably change the name sometime seeing as BDW doesn't really make sense anymore. |

The pictures seem to be a good size but maybe that's just me? Overall I thought the action was pretty sweet, some good moves thrown in and the commentary worked well with it. The arena was sweet and worked on a less is more type idea for me. Maybe cover the VHS tapes so it's just clear black?I felt some of the posing was a little stiff sometimes but didn't detract from enjoying the show. Sweet work bro, look forward to whatever is next from BDW!

This show was a cool show. I like all the storylines that are going on. Nice to see Corino on a fed. You should watch Corino's match against Homicide with the barbed wire ropes, good matches. I liked the end of the show, nice cliq. I liked this show. The only problem I had is posing. You've improved slowly but the posing still needs a lot of work. Posing is the only thing holding your fed back. I liked this show, just work on posing. I also thought it was dumb how quickly Sabu lost. Your world title is beautiful. Good show just work on posing.

Sabu losing that way is probably my biggest regret since the second reboot episode of BDW coming out incomplete. I need to figure out a way to fix up a tripod that isn't too tall so I can do in ring moves and not just top rope moves. Height isn't the problem it's tilting the camera to get the entire ring in the shot. Thanks for the reply. Currently working on a review for your newest show btw |

I hope you like it. I forgot to mention: The camera work was a lot better on this show but It'd be cooler if you took the camera a little bit further from the ring so you can see both wrestlers in the full for a shot. |

Apologies it's taken so long to get a reply in. School's back on. Same goes to ASW and GWV too.
-Pic quality is crisp and clear
-Enjoyed the wrestling in the tag match. Typical ECW stuff
-Simple but effective Corino custom
-Was trying to think of how I'd have booked Corino/Moxley, but you probably did it right
-You did well to pull off the Flock/JOB Squad match considering the lack of poseability some of those figs have. Interesting turn at the end too
-Enjoyed the ladder spots in RVD/Y2J
-Cool to see a Cage match
-Not too sure on The Network forming at the end. Would have maybe teased it and then gone for it fully on the next show
A really enjoyable PPV. You've come a long way from your early shows, and the hard work and commitment you put in is definitely paying off. Nice work!
