BDW on TBS #9

-Wondered where we were going with Joey Styles just announcing matches, but I liked that this gave you a way of bringing Pillman in
-Enjoyed seeing some actually wrestling at the start of Balls/Lee (not meaning any offence, more that you're usually full of hardcore stuff and brawls )
-The New Jack & Co brawl left me a bit confused. Think it might be that I missed your PPV
-Not seen an R3 figure in years!
-The "And they just kind of fall down..." comment made me chuckle
-Nice action in the Rey/Tajiri mask
-The twists and turns in Punk/Stevie were good
-The main event match was my favourite

A very good show, Brick. It's probably time to stop saying you're constantly improving, as you're now an established fedder and central part of the board. Not too keen on there being so many stables, but I'm sure you'll make it work. Good job!

Great show! I always like when Brodie Lee is in action. I didn't understand the second match, but the black and white clash was very good! Rey vs Tajiri was a good technical match. CM Punk vs Stevie Richards was the best match in the night, with a lot of drama. The main event was very good too, but I prefer if Chris Jericho has won...

Really enjoyed that show. The matches were all good, I didn't find anything wrong with the Mysterio/Tajiri one, the main event was great though, maybe the best match ive seen from you. I really like how you're developing your storylines, you've massively improved that and I'm really intrigued about both the mystery man at the end of the Flock match, and the Rogue Horsemen.

On that note, I love all the stables you have going. Almost a japanese feel to it, with most people being aligned to some sort of stable, and that's something I think is really cool.

It would be cool if you used string in you poses, that's the only thing that I think you could improve on really, everything else seems to be coming together. I dig your commentary, but sometimes I think it's a bit too mocking on yourself, all the string jokes and stuff, but that sort of thing is just down to taste.

Mysterio/Tajiri was weak to me because of 1 too many bad poses...partially due to this being my first time using R3s. Still alright though. Rogue Horsemen is an angle I've wanted to do for a little while, but this was the episode where it'd finally make sense to do it. 

I actually am not entirely sure why one or so other thought all the stables was possibly a bad thing, considering there's only 4 (5 if you count Da Hood and D-Von but I don't) and they all have purposes. That's the thing with me, I'll have as many wrestlers or stables as I need, as long as they all have a purpose.

The string thing is a definite problem. The only times I've done it in the past are when I didn't need a tripod and was using a much worse camera and when I can take pictures with my makeshift one, which only worked with the 5 star frog splash off the entrance stage. I really should stop mocking myself, and breaking the 4th wall in the commentary. Stuff like this is what I type when I can't think of anything else, and "Cop-out string shot!" and "Pillman's gonna die tonight....again" are just stupid.
Thanks for taking the time to reply

Balls sucks balls.


Thanks for the reply

Meh. I didn't really feel Brodie/Balls was too stiff or something, but you're probably right. I'm especially surprised you liked the Brodie Bomb considering how hard it was to do with Balls' gigantic head and less articulated legs, expected that to be the stiffest post.
Yeah, I was really disappointed with Rey/Tajiri. Lots of bad poses that the low articulation R3 isn't even responsible for. 
Thanks for replying. 

Great Show here brick! like the last BDW show i watched, crisp pictures, awesome! Awesome match-Balls mahoney vs luke harper. that's my fave match here. Cool new jack fig. a lot of action. a lot of pics. you put a lot of work into this, and that deserves tons of respect. Very nice ending! Very interesting where this leads.

What did you use to make your matt hardy?

THought i'd check out the show, since you kindly replied to mine!..

Ahh good to see someone using Brian Pillman! Easily one of the best characters for this kind of environment. Nice in-jokes about the figures Nice to see someone not take themselves too seriously!..
"Big Black E".... "Da Hood".... Oh man.. And I thought me and my bro's creation of 'BlackWall Street' back in the day was bad! The KKK?! I'll discuss this later.. Good to see The Gangstaz reunite, and there I was trying not to sound too racy.
Nice match between Rey and Tajiri, good use of the mist to show Tajiri as a sore loser.
And a pretty semi main event between Richards and Punk, liked the use of Al's head, as well as Punks Macho Elbow/Peoples elbow from the top. The Raven tease was interesting..
Match of the night was the main event, great use of the ladders! A tad confusing with Pillman on commentary at times, the uniting of the 'Rogue Horseman' seems like its going to cause havoc in the future.

I liked the show man, you got a good set up, and a very ECW-esque feel to your production.
A few pointers, your poses need a lot of work. You could do with exploring more of a range of moves, I saw a lot of punches, kicks and headlocks either leading to a DDT, or a bulldog. It's almost too simple to do, and nags a little on the flow of the match.
Balls Vs Brodie was crap in comparison to the other matches on this show, avoid calling that a 'match of the year' candidate if I were you. It doesnt give the viewer much faith to continue watching, but either way I am glad I did for that main event!
Look, I did get a kick out of the racial stereotyping I'll admit, but tone it back. Referring to anyone as the KKK is straight up immature man! It just screams "I'm a suburban Caucasian kid". I laughed, because i'm highly immature like that! It does add to the rated-R feel of an ECW themed fed I guess, just be careful who you might offend. Other than that, its great to see New Jack.
Its only a personal preference, but you do alot of burial on the mic and on commentary. Perhaps work on ways your performers can put over their feuds without straight up burying each other. 'Beating the wrestling talent out of Balls if he can find it' during commentary for example, just seemed abit out of place, unless you're literally setting Balls up to be a battle hardened jobber in the future.
Invest in some string, work on your lighting. I'm just as bad for it really, but try to avoid shadowing your pictures in mid-air shots. Also, using a Tripod set up for a form of 'hard camera' would really help your pictures pop, and would reduce the blur shots.
Again, only a personal preference due to not being up to date with your show, but I would have liked to have seen more character/feud building segments aside from the usual promos, which were done well. It can be difficult within the ECW environment I can imagine, but your 18+rated product opens a lot of doors for edgey memorable angles, so a few angles here and there would help a casual viewer like myself immediately understand who is feuding with who.

Very enjoyable! Looking forward to future efforts!

Have to say your shows are getting better and better and you have come a long way from when you first began. You capture the ECW vibe really well, and I enjoyed the matches some real all out brawls there. The punk/stevie match I thought had some really great ring psychology, not just highspot after highspot it was more like a real wrestling match and you took your time with it. It was a really good example on how to have a match stay interesting as it was a long one. I also enjoy your show being kinda 'edgy' and nice reunion of The Gangstaz.
