GWA Main Event - Episode 2

I liked it, great action nice arena and a really good presentation. Could use a lot more backstage interviews vignettes and you for sure had some really nice hardcore action in the Wyatt/Ambrose match.

Overall a great effort here's my only gripe and its not just your fed but it seems like every fed I watch lately has all the same wrestlers. Wyatts, Danielson, Ambrose/Shield, Barrett and so on. Its getting hard to tell which fed is which! LOL!!

Would love to see some different guys used here and a strong Tag Division in your fed. You are doing a really great job besides the stiffness of your poses but that is just trying to find faults and nit picking.

Congrats on another good showing on to episode #3!!!!!!

Alright! You're sig caught my eye:) NIce new wrestler debuts. Love that ambrose! Great action in and out of the ring. Some nice aerial moves. Great match with Dbry and Cody. Last match was very well done. Surprised Batista won. Is that a custom of him? It looks great!! Overall all the show was good. The backstage segments helped carry the storylines. Some small gripes..edit out the string, posing, and some of the stories are very WWEish. This may be by choice or coincidnce, Either way, it's a minor issue that doesn't overshadow the entire show for me. Solid job! Keep up the good work:)

Very interesting. I liked it. I agree with T about the continuation, how big is your roster? But overall I think it was a solid show, we seemed to get a lot of action and the superstars are presented well. The commentary team HATE each other! I was surprised by how hostile they were. I agree about some of the poses being real stiff, but you'll get better at that, same way everyone else will. I also think that the use of string was good, then in the next few episodes you can learn to edit it out. Very nice stuff, episode #3 should be good!

Don't try to take on too much. I'd focus on your main show, and if you really want to, then maybe have 6-7 pic highlights of those Superstars matches.

I just watched GWA Episode 2

Likes:

• the choice of matches + characters was very enjoyable!
  
  
• I liked the close up of Bray's creepy smile after he put Dean through a table 
  
• Great use of string to perform Dean's elbow drop onto Bray from the steps to the outside table.  Awesome.
  
• Nice segment with Okerlund + Cena.
  
  
• Enjoyable moment with Rhodes avoiding the running kick by Bryan.
  
  
• Good seeing the Animal Batista get some use (lots of people didn't like him returning) this sets up a nice potential battle with ADR!
  
  

Dislikes:

I found some of the following pics blurry:

* Just before Dean hits Bray with the chair

* Bray ramming Dean's head into table

*Dean getting back to his feet after sister abigail on a chair

*Rhodes hitting Bryan with the belt.

*Batista Spear on Cena



Advisory

1) I'm not sure Bray Wyatt would ignore a pin attempt on Ambrose after his finisher Sister Abigail, as strange as Wyatt is once he hits Sister Abigail a pin would follow (it is however your choice).
If you're going to have a wrestler ignore a pinfall in matches like this, it might be a good idea to use a devastating move that isn't a finisher (so in this case a pile-driver on the steel chair) then Bray goes outside would of suited the scenario. They are usually called (finishing moves for a reason). 


2) Regarding the finish with Rhodes hitting Bryan with the Cross Rhodes after a smash to the face with the Belt. You mentioned the referee not seeing Rhodes hit Bryan with the belt but you didn't explain why, or show why the referee was distracted?
   After this you showed us a pic of the referee looking at them?
So if the referee was looking in that direction how did he not call a disqualification? How did he not see it?
 


Something like this would of made sense where an outside tag partner or manager was helping him, so Goldust intentionally gets into a heated argument and distracts the referee leading to Cody hitting Bryan then rolling him in to perform Cross Rhodes.



Summary

I really like your fed, it's coming along nicely. There have been different matches, different characters focused on, so you're giving us a nice variety of things to look at, your arena is solid and commentary between JR + King is good.



I noticed this production was released a full day early, what i'd like next time round is for you to review every single photo and eliminate the blurry ones. (this is do-able) because you had a full day extra to do it this time and chose to publish it for viewing knowing those photos are blurry. In the digital age we are given the choice of accepting a photo before we print or publish, you can take 3 or 4 photos of the same scene and pick the one that is the clearest.



Take your time in publishing because it shows dedication and effort. I really like your fed and but for a few minor things you certainly have my attention for the immediate future.

RAW

Some of the pics in the opener were a bit funky, the ones during Brays entrance made it look like he was a statue or something. Some good brawling through it, but I kept getting distracted by how stiff some of the poses were. The ending was a nice big spot, that felt like it should have been an ending though, so that was good.

Cody seems to have hit the disaster kick hell of a early in
this match, curious as to why. Lots of big spots all the way through, which gave it a bit of big match feel, I liked that. Didn't expect the ending, but good way to get cody over as a heel.

Main event was ok for what it was, but I'm quite ehh on both guys as a whole. You've got most of the basics down, posing needs some work but you know how to structure a match, put together a show etc., but at the risk of continuing the debate from the discussion board, it needs something to make it less WWE-lite. I can pinpoint each of the matches to a specific era of WWE, and there wasn't much to mix that - but there's plenty you can do with those characters. Just take some time to grow them, and develop your own personalities for them in your fed, and give it something to make it stand out.

Alright another exciting GWA to get to!

Nice setup, still wish the pics were centered, but at least the text isn't centered! So that's a plus. Good work on the commentary. So many people just halfass that, but you got some funny quips in there. " These tables are the poorest design I've ever come across, they break far too easily!"

Fun hardcore match to open the show, but the visible string, that's no good. I'm not one of these guys who believes you need to use string all the damn time, but when they look like marionettes, that's just bad.

This pic amuses me:



Looks like he tried for a top rope butt raping.

Fun finish though. Liked that Wyatt had the win, but was too interested in inflicting pain to realize his mistake. Nice to see Ambrose win one.

Loved the Rhodes/Bryan match poses, except for the string again. Couple of pics I suspect you used your hands over string, and frankly, they looked better. I loved the way Rhodes won though, brilliant use of a spot.

"The kid's delusional!" - Heh, nice line there too. I'm loving Rhodes.

Fun, simple main event. Made me miss the real Batista. Man that guy was awesome his last couple heel runs. Liked that you played up the MMA Batista. Shame WWE didn't do that, but I suspect they didn't want it to contrast with Lesnar.

Solid show man. My only complaints are the string, but I've beat that horse enough. Four stars!

A simple effective show that I could watch in a short amount of time.

@brickandyozen - Well, I'm not quite sure what to say to that...

I'm all for constructive criticism and advice. It's how we learn and grow our feds right? But that reply didn't really seem constructive to me in any way shape or form. Take that as you will.
