Nice wyatt Promo. First match. Entrances are pretty cool, and the Joey Ryan custom's pretty good, as is the Sami Zayn. That head choice for Devitt is...interesting to say the least. Don't have much to say. A lack of in-air transition pics for diving moves, certain moves like the huricanrana and snap suplex, but otherwise everything's fine. Mox promo could've gone on a bit longer. Bucks confuse me. Doesn't one of them have lightish-blonde hair? Eh, KOW vs those other dudes is great. I like the traditional tag format better then the last match's tag format, though I enjoyed them both.
The show could've been a bit longer. It doesn't appear any feuds were started either. The two matches were good, but you can still fill the show out with maybe 1 shorter match, and 2 or 3 segments that aren't just promos saying "We want the gold, we're taking it" I liked these promos, don't get me wrong. I just wish that there were a little more promos focused on story-building besides the Bray one. The posing was good, however there seemed to be a lack of transition pictures for many moves. Namely, diving moves, snap suplexes, hurricanranas, and a few of the regular suplexes. Good show while it lasted, but I hope your next one has a little more to it. 8/10

That was awesome. Perfect show, each spot was awesome. The first match was my match of the night, great start. The poses were all good, for the most part. Captured Wyatt perfectly too in the promo to open. Each match had good finishes. Nice work man, really enjoyed that.

Fantastic show mikey. So good. The promos were great, excited to see how you use the wyatts. Your poses were spot on. And the action was great
Your customs are sweet, what's the recipe for that hero?
I cant wait for show 3

Great job Mikey. The Chimu roster is really awesome. I am really digging all of it. This show was really great. I think you have lost any ring rust that you may have had before. Posing seemed to get a lot better however it can still be improved. You may want to make the pictures smaller as well. This show was really good. Most of those customs are awesome, I am not really into the Machine Gun Karl Anderson figure due to it's head. Good job though Mikey. I can't wait for more. Great show and keep up the great work. EDIT: I am surprised that Joey and Prince didn't team up because of the Lethal Lottery.

This was freakin' awesome, not as much of a wrestling fan as I used to be but I loved ROP so this is great to see (CHIMU). Poses and Picture quality were great. The Wyatt Family had a pretty good promo at the beginning of the show. That first tag Match was great, really sold posing. my only gripe is the Ref not moving much but I'm guilty of that too (or at least when I was doing a wrestling fed and not the Spidey series) I really love all these customs especially that Elite Prince Devitt. Love the Moxley Promo. I like the Bullet Club's promo post match, a little short but it got a good point across. Man I love that Chris Hero custom really good looking figure. Koffey bros vs Kings Of Wrestling was an awesome match althought I felt like the lighting going back and forth was a little weird (quality was still good but some lightings seemed more dim than others) Overall amazing show and I can't wait to see more CHIMU Pro

Brick - thanks man. My future shows probably will be longer, I just wanted to get this one out and get the ball rolling while the board is mad active. I made the matches a bit longer than normal to make up for there just being two. I was maybe planning to do shows like CHIMU 1.5 on the discussion board to bridge the gap between shows, solely with promos and story building, but I guess it's up to you guys whether you wanna see it.
attitudesback - Thanks very much, it means a lot. Glad you helped ease a few of my worries haha.
Champ - cheers for that. Hero is an Edge head, William Regal elite body, and the arm sleeve is from the most recent Justin Gabriel elite.
Menace - Thanks bro. I wasn't sure myself about picture size, so that's maybe something I'll look at for the next show, along with fixing the lighting. Machine Gun's head is a bit of a placeholder, until I find a mattel one that isn't too pricey to replace it.
Masspick - glad you enjoyed it. Like I said in the discussion thread, the lighting was a bit of an issue for me, hopefully have it fixed for #3.

You already addressed the lighting, but to me that was the only real issue with this show... Well that and the one Marge Simpson hair Coffey guy.
Really cool customs. I thought the Young Bucks customs looked great. Really sharp paint work on all your customs.
I should also say, while I had seen some of your ROP stuff before, this is as clean and "professional" as your shows have ever looked. It's a big step up in a lot of ways.
I'm torn on if I like CHIMU existing in some strange world where they work with WWE/NXT because on one hand it's different, but on the other hand it's a big confusing when talking about certain characters and their numerous transliterations. Still, I enjoyed the show overall and the 4 way was the best match I've seen in a while from you. Fun stuff.

Welcome back brother, it's good to see im not alone in having the pic fed passion return!
Awesome show man, had a real Indy feel which you're pretty much the innovator of creating with figures. Good attention to detail with the moves and how they flowed, the opening fatal 4 way was stunning! Chuffed to see Devitt get the win..
Although It appears I've gotta somehow try and out-Wyatt you dude, because that promo was outstanding! The Wyatt Family would fit this Indy surrounding like a hand in a glove.
Hero and Castanogli together as the KOW is a good touch man, as well as Moxley/Sydal etc, all these ex indie guys getting figures is putty in your hands dude! Looking forward to seeing if anything comes of the 'coffey' bros, never seen them before, but you made me a fan of theirs in that tag match.. They shudda won! But that's deffo not a gripe, I love the combo of Hero/Claudio.
I know you've always been a big fan of showcasing tag matches, so I know we're gunna see some great stuff come out of this tournament! Long live CHIMU Pro!!
- also as RWF touched on, your production looks very polished and professional. A massive visual improvement from my fav fed ever, ROP! So this is basically ROP after a spin-dry, and that to me is top quality pic fed entertainment... congrats Mikey!

Great show! I like your arena, nice basic setup. The pictures were nice and clear and the matches were excellent! I really like your Joey Ryan custom as well.

Nice to see you back, Mikey. -Nice promo to start with -I don't really follow the indies, so have never seen Joey Ryan, but the customs look slick -Great opener, with some cool spots, and it erupted in chaos which is what I'd want to see -The tag match was very well done. I hate doing tag matches, but I'd love for those that I actually do to be as good as this Very enjoyable first show back from you. The customs are all brilliant, and I'll definitely get more interested in the characters from the indies as the fed progresses. Would have liked to see a third match on the card, especially with it being your opening show. The arena is plain, but it feels right in someway as it suits the fed and the image you have (not that everything you do is plain, obviously).

Outstanding show Mikey. I'd say your best fed ever, no offense to ROP:) Love the customs, the matches were great. Promos were spot on, and just a unique fed all around. It has been a while since there've been so many quality feds at once, and you're right in the middle of it, Hope this continues! Great work!

Oh yeah I forgot to say how dope the promo's were. I loved Mox's promo. I instantly popped for seeing the yb's. Good stuff. Oh yeah maybe use a Ryback head for Karl Anderson buddy.

Alright I am already confused is this show #2 did I miss the first one if so sorry but I did catch this one and it was really good. I did like your customs a lot, the arena which I like better than ROP's arena I also liked your pics and style of shooting it is not a cookie cutter of your last fed.
I enjoyed really everything here, the posing was stiff at some points but I notice a lot of fedders seem to be having problems bending joints especially in the kness? which can be attributed to maybe the kneepads on Mattel figs which I really never shot a fed with myself. The only thing I can say is a few more interviews or backstage stuff to flesh out he show I would like to see and that's it. I really liked what you did here the action was really really good, fast paced and well though out.
Congrats on your return and the successful launch of your new endeavor!

Glad to see you back. Nice Devitt custom, what did you use to make it? Nice simple arena. I like that you are highlighting your tag team division to start things out. It is different. You dont look like you have a lot of rust with filming. The only thing I wish is that people would stop using these Mattel rings. They seem so much smaller than the basic rings jakks made.

Awesome to see you have a new fed on the go. Quick side note, naming this show after an Against Me album is super cool.
On to the show, Nice setup using the Tablet as a screen, that's pretty innovative and not something I can remember seeing before. Your customs are pretty cool as always. The tag format being a large part is pretty cool, tag team wrestling totally reeks of awesomeness. Having the Coffeys in here is superb. Joe is tremendous and Mark is really underrated. Seeing a few ICW guys in here makes this fed stand out straight away. Matches were great and I feel really intrigued to see where you go with this. Only negative I'd have is that I could have done with a few more transition shots in here for diving moves etc. Thats being said, it's great to have you back on the board and I'm hoping that you makes this as awesome as ROP was back in the day.

been waiting to see this for awhile now man, can not wait! this is also my first real reply ive done on a pic fed show in agesssss. so here we go! nice arena, very simple. but i like it. love the tablet for the entrance, very 2015 indy. ahhh your pic size has defo increased and the quality has got alot better too! wyatt family just had to be involved in this promotion, i would of loved to have seen them in ROP actually. OH NEW CUSTOMS TIME! joey stole brays shirt?! great booking for the opening match - i sense a lot of crazy spots in this match. LOVE the running dropkick opener - you have that pose down to a T. LOVED the planchas etc to the outside - exactly what i expected. great opening match, feel like the commentary was abit too factual - i miss the banter commentary of ROP. great introduction of both moxley and the bullet club - you're always very good at promos. OH crap- ICDUB! saw these guys live last year and they were great - never thought id see them brought to life in a pic fed. something ive always wanted to do / see is an british based roster. KOW - this is gonna be GREAT! fantastic match, some great moments throughout. i particularly loved how you made it seem that the Coffey's were so close to victory. I NEED MORE! the show went very quickly but at least we got to see something! my only criticism would be to get a new ref figure... really cant stand the pants! haha. so pleased you're back though Mikey! heres to show #3!

Hey Mikey, I saw on the Pic Fed discussion thread people mentioned CHIMU and after i saw your logo in the thread i made a note to return and watch it. Here is what I thought: - Nice Wyatt Promo to open the show!
- Awesome fourway elimination Incl: Wrestlers that haven't been used before (that i've seen). Joey Ryan, Sami Zayn, Matt Sydal + Prince Devitt
- Awesome Senton by Devitt to the 3 competitors outside!
- Great dive through the ropes DDT by Zayn!
- Huge reversal on the Brainbusta and Devitt with a double stomp to pin Sami! Great ending!
- Nice Promos with Bullet Club + Mox!
- Main Event - Coffey Bro's Vs Chris Hero + Claudio Castagnoli - Good selection of Characters again.
- Great deadlift Suplex from Claudio!
- Great way to make the Coffey's look strong but Kings of Wrestling still advance.
SummaryI'm really pleased to find another thread using characters differently or in your case completely new selection of guys, sure Cesaro, the Wyatt's + Ambrose are featured but the bulk of your first show was filled with guys i haven't seen used in a fed. Very promising, i'm going to grab a drink now and head for Show #3! btw, I couldn't find CHIMU #1? This show is labelled #2 but the presenter Lee Graham announced it was the first show? What Happened to #1? RAW
