WFW - Nitro! - Episode 1

Wow! What a brilliant show! It certainly lived up to the hype! Batista/Lesnar was the match of the night, interested to see how this alliance between Lesnar and the Rock will play out. Great job man, can't wait for your next show!

Pretty good start, i like the draw mixing things up, and you have a pretty good mix of guys. And having different levels is neat, can guys move up and down levels? It was cool to see khali used as a monster

Couple of things you could work on
- the lighting seemed a little dark, and i think you had the lights behind the camera, putting them above the filming area would really help.
- your poses were hard to follow. For instance, the f5 you had batista up on brock, and then laying on the mat, an in between shot would have been awesome. There were a few times in the rvd match that i felt were like that.
-your ring felt really small, which took away from your fed i felt. Keep using it, but i would suggest getting or making a bigger one if possible.

Sorry if this comes across as harsh, i did enjoy what you put out, and you have a very solid foundation. Your starting some stories and had some good segments so please keep at this

Real nice stage. The Crusierweight Divison interests me especially with Edge being in it.

RVD Vs. Rey - Nice short and sweet opener. I could see future feud with these two as RVD just stole the match thanks to his wife. Interesting angle was may have here.

Funny seeing Khalie kick Big E's ass

Khalie Vs. Goldust - Nothing really here,just squash match all though Khale looked great.

Batista Vs. Brock - Fun main event really kept me watching. Rock and Lesnar's alliances is interesting. Pretty good.

Overall
Nice little show,my only complaint but you adressed it basically was the length of the matchs. And their was few stiff poses. Besides that good work man.

Time to watch this.
Arena leaves a little to be desired. Probably could benefit from better crowd placing. Just seems like there should be more seats in the middle section of the arena.
Liking King's commentary. Like the figs you chose. This should be a good matchup, hopefully you get a little creative with RVD so his poses don't look too stiff for a basic. RVD kicking out of Rey's finishing move is a bad sign. For an opening match, there shouldn't be any false finishes. Also seems like this moved along way too fast. RVD's wife? This is a little odd, but kinda funny. You can pull off a proper five star frog splash with a basic RVD (kind of), don't know why you didn't. Not coming off to a good start, but this is your first show, isn't it? Glad to see your Khali is monster khali. So far, the posing is rather stiff. Best part is hands down the commentary. You're doing a pretty good job writing in the voices of JR and King. Punk promo was alright. Gonna say this now, so you don't make the mistake I did for god knows how long. When you do a powerbomb impact, don't have it look like the guy applying it is giving the victim a BJ. Bend the knees on the person doing it so they don't just lay flat like their opponent upon impact. Brock kicking out of the Batista Bomb makes sense for someone like Brock. Kicking out of a finisher seems like something Brock would do. Not RVD on the other hand. Batista kicks out of the F5? Seriously, finishers are called finishers for a reason. It's the Rock! And he saves Brock...meh.


Overall...everyone starts somewhere. Decent enough presentation (though the arena is a little barren), short matches, alright posing at best. Odd pacing. Here's what you can do to fix it.
Arena - Don't you have the ASR? Maybe get some crowd printouts, or make more barricades the next time to rearange your arena.
Short matches - Simple, make them longer.
Odd pacing - A false finish should be something reserved for a big match. Not RVD vs Mysterio. And maybe if Brock vs Batista only had one false finish, not 2. Actually, this isn't about odd pacing, but it's still a problem. Odd pacing is pretty much a result of all of the matches being a little short.

Overall...6/10. You've got a roster of a great fed, and the potential to be so much more... here's to taking advice and making your second episode great.

Really liked this show man. The arena was nice - simple, but clean. I don't mind too much about the ring size, because I know that space can be an issue and really, it didn't distract from the matches at all.

I felt the matches had a nice pace to them, the RVD/Mysterio match was probably my favourite, and it had a nice twist for the ending. For a first show you did a decent job of getting characters across, and starting to build feuds.

I think the idea of having strictly defined divisions for the titles is interesting, and I'm curious to see how it works out, especially with Edge and Punk in the X-Division and Bryan in the world title picture. Good first show, made me feel engaged and interested to find out what happens next - which is all I can ask really. Good work!

Thanks everyone! I will be re-designing my entrance stage for Episode 2 and then carrying on with the new design. Apart from that the arena can't change. I literally (for now) have 0 space to use. I filmed all of that on top of a wardrobe/shelf unit that is about 25cm wide. I know it sucks because it's very 2D but it's all I can do until hopefully my first PPV which will have the ASR and more fans surrounding the ring. Posing I understand, little rusty, need to get into it properly and then I'll be improving much more. Lighting too, I'll try and see how I can do that because using my phone's flash was the only real option I had unless I filmed using a standard room light or in natural daylight but I'll try a few ways out until Nitro comes back at the end of February. The roster divisions might be ignored by some superstars, who knows? Storylines are constantly spinning in my head, at a Russo rate of 100 a second and maybe 3-4 good ones of those 100. Just need to pick out the best plots that will take each episode further and make it worth it as I only have one shot a month at this. Anyways, thanks all and I really, really appreciate all the comments so far!

How the did you fit the ASR, crowd and entrance stage on an ironing board?! That's some feat mate. Got my ASR right infront of me, fully built. kills me I can't use it!

Great start mate. Few stiff poses but it is your first fed i believe ?. Likes the entrance. But its lacking some sort of crowd. If you can get some prints there mate it will look really good. I liked the Big news at the end. Won't spoil it for anyone who watches this show. But. Looking forward to episode two. Keep up the good work !

I liked the first show, I really enjoyed the championship draw, i think what people said have made sense, if you have some time try and get crowd printouts for the arena rather than just have those white walls (that will make the arena pop a little) :-)

It seems like you have a great idea about the stories you want to tell and the direction you want to head in, so very well done on your first show. I look forward to the second.
