MAIN EVENT LEAGUE Episode 6 - SEASON FINALE!

Kept up with the results, haven't really taken the time to check individual shows out since the first one. Gonna change that right now.

Shield vs ECW guys is a pretty decent idea. Some good hardcore action, but it seems to have the issue way too many hardcore matches have in pic feds. The mistake that's way too easy to make. Just because it's a hardcore match doesn't mean it can't have pacing. Dreamer got speared way too early. I can't tell whether or not if this is a squash. May or may not have been your intention, but I feel the posing with Sandman captures his sorta sloppy brawling pretty well. Guess that was supposed to be a squash. Oh well. Could've been great. As it was, fun hardcore brawl but nothing else. No pacing, okay posing for the most part.

CM Punk segment was okay. Could've been longer but it got the point across.

Probably the best part is the commentary. Pretty good almost all of the time.

Next match was a pretty big mess. Bull rope matches/dog collar matches and the like are always hard to pull off in real life, and even more difficult in pic fed form. This seemed like a better match for a TV episode, given the screwy finish. Not a "season finale"...which I'd think would be more like a PPV. Or does the season finale precede a PPV?

Next match starts off okay, a little too fast for my tastes. Only real posing problem here is you botched the Last Ride pose. Instead of it looking like a Last ride, looks more like Taker's doing Bray a...favor. Yeah. Foley's siding with the Wyatt Family, pretty neat. Heard the idea before but pretty interesting to see it in an actual pic fed. Once again tho, short match, screwy antics. Don't really see how this is a season finale match.

Steamboat vs Perfect should be a nice technical match. Nice classic....wtf is going on here? Isn't this a singles match? Why's everyone coming out and attacking? Oh, it's a scramble. No wonder it's derived of pacing. Perfect won the belt. I'm under the impression this is supposed to be your equivalent of a PPV, right? Or a supercard, seeing as it's the season finale? This match wasn't really PPV quality but at least it felt like it belonged on one. Macho Man/Perfect feud should be good.

Good Brock segment.

Punk/Angle should be good....and GTS into barrier. This match was a little longer. Still didn't feel PPV length... and Punk's gts into the thingy really ruined the flow for me. Some decent posing. Like the idea of Brock carrying around the UFC belt.

Bryan/Brock started out good and then suicide dive through a table. I'd nitpick and say the announcers table had already been broken, but eh. Alright match. Shield coming in to assault Heyman made sense. Best match of the show, and one that actually felt like it belonged on a supercard.

This entire thing was a mixed bag.


Things that were good:
Main event sorta
Commentary
Presentation

Things that were okay:
Most of the show,

Things that were bad:
The overall lack of pacing in the entire thing. The fact it didn't really feel like a supercard, at all. Too many screwy finishes, and the matches weren't close to the length matches on a bigger show should be. No problem with having Mankind interfere in a match and join Bray. Sure you could've preserved the match quality and waited until it was almost over,, but I didn't have a problem with that. I had a problem with this in addition to the screwy antics in JBL vs Sheamus. That wasn't the type of thing that was required to happen at the major show, that could've just happened on TV.

Overall, eh. Still has a long ways to go. You've got posing down pretty good, nice presentation, fix up the pacing and maybe save the screwy antics for only when they make perfect sense and have to happen or else they don't make sense, and you got a nice fed here.

I'm excited for this show, but also saddened that MEL will be off our screens for a while!

-Haha, loved the reference to GWA!
-Chaotic opening to the 3v3 match
-Crazy spot with Ambrose and the ladder!
-Absolute spotfest, but I loved it. Great table spot to finish it, and each time I thought it was going to end, something else happened. Top opener!
-Nice WFW reference too
-Never seen a Bull Rope match done before, but you nailed it. Would have liked to have seen it end cleanly, but Kane coming sets up a starting point for Season 2, and JBL can go up a level with a big win under his belt
-Wyatt entrance was strange. He walked out, sat down, then got up again
-Intrigued to see how this one plays out
-Mankind is a perfect fit for the Wyatts, but I would have liked to have seen Taker pick up the win first, and then the attack afterwards. Would love to see you recreate a HIAC match between Taker and Mankind!
-Now a BWR reference! Thanks, mate!
-Brutal swing into the post
-Would've liked to see more interim champions during the Scramble before Perfect stole it at the end, but nice choice for a winner
-Punk/Angle was quality. Back and forth, close falls, and I like that you gave Angle the win. Will be interesting to see if Punk makes it to Season 2!
-Haha, poor announce table!
-What a way to the end the season, with that main event. Again, back and forth, drama, close falls, such a good match

Well, what's there to say except what a show! I thought that your last show was the best I'd seen in a while on these boards, but you just topped it again! Three matches out of six ending due to interference was probably the only downside, but the positives definitely outweighed it. Wouldn't have predicted most of those winners too, so great booking. Any idea as to when you expect Season 2 to be live? Congrats on the show, Pooks!

Leave him alone Gotham , he's entitled to 'eh' and 'meh' at whatever he desires. I'm just buzzing that he saved his criticism for the finale, kid musta enjoyed the series to find the time and the passion for that lengthy reply.

Let's face it, my piddily little finale was never gunna match up to the mighty BCW (edit: BDW. Oops.)

Thank you all so much, I'm glad you noticed the shout outs! xD as some of you may be aware im in the process of moving home, I'm hoping to have a few preview pics of my new "pic fed room" up by hopefully next weekend, but I'm afraid you may be looking at a slight wait before Series 2.. I got the filming bug, so it shouldn't be too long before a date is announced! Let's say early summer?

But it'll be worth the wait. I intend to make this series look crap compared to what's penciled in for the next!

The good
The shoutouts, awesome stuff. The hardcore match was fantastic, it felt like a big deal. Mankind joining wyatts, is awesome, he totally fits. The punk vs angle was good, i liked having punk pass out, made him look strong. The brock bryan match was epic, well done there

The bad
Having brock lose...just bummed me out, but thats a personal preference, would have liked a clear winner in the wyatt vs taker, but it does leave it open for season 2

The ugly
I didnt get a shout out! So lame! Lol just messing

This was your best show yet, and it felt like a huge card, wrestlemania like

So cool that you got real wrestlers to view, i think that is the dream for most of us

I loved the comment on deskjet, totally made me lol

Can't wait for season 2, and its good to have you back on the board

Main Event Lauge - Episode #6 (Season Finale)

- i like your small arena set up. entrance stage looks sweet, but the ring seems a little small. booker/the brain as your announce team is awesome. two characters for sure haha. nice production value. dang this is bringing me back to wwe-ml times!

- the shield/ecw extremists was a great choice for a chaotic-brawl-hot opener. roman is an absolute monster. fun spot fest. i liked the finish. rather then having it end with a crazy bump (which you still had with sabu falling from the ladder), you had sandman getting destroyed. where's the ref? eh he would've just taken up more space in the small ring. figured the shield would go over. i'm excited to see who they target in season two.

- is that logo photoshopped? haha. short but sweet punk promo. i'm exciting for the double main event. should tear the house down.

- kudos for doing a bull rope/strap match, you don't see enough of these matches being done in pic feds. could have made the bull rope better, looks like it's just a shoe lace. typical strap match spots, but it was fun. i really like you pairing jbl and zeb together. kane! kane is killing sheamus. i really enjoyed the booking of this match. jbl gets the tainted win and possibly moves into title contention, while kane and sheamus can go into feuding. i totally forget this stemmed from the battle royal way back on episode one. i liked the match and all, but i'm not sure about two gimmick matches back-to-back on the show.

- wyatt/undertaker. if i still ran a fed with these new figs i would for sure get the wyatt family. so cool! awesome taker entrance. i like how you breakdown the match in segments. the crab walk, big splash spot was nice. awesome use of trademark moves from both men. just by having the wyatt family on the outside tells me this feud will not be over tonight. yeah, this broke down at the end but i like how both men are still strong with no one taking the pinball. i'm assuming this ended up being a no contest, or undertaker via dq? awesome bringing in mankind as the newest addition to the wyatt family. i wanna see this feud end with taker/wyatt in hell in a cell. your wyatt family is awesome and can't wait to see this feud continue in season two. i wonder if taker will have any help, kane seems to be busy with sheamus. good stuff, pooky.

- european title scramble, i like how all of the participants of this match have some sort of history with each other. good pacing throughout this match. i liked the big swing into the post. i don't know who is going to win this. double c? barrett? steamboat? here's savage! idk about that elbow drop pose. perfect stole the match! all of the heels have been getting the upper-hand in their respective matches thus far, meh. i like perfect as the first champ and i like how much your setting up for season two already. savage/perfect one-on-one should be fun.

- brock/heyman is always good. remember how cool they were in wwe-ml!? haha, why does he have two belts, s he ufc heavyweight champ as well? just trim it down to one maaaan.

- punk/angle. here we go, one half of the double main event. nice touch having angle rock the gold medals, people seem to forget that in feds. no chaining to start this one out. these two HATE EACH OTHER. intense opening sequence. punk taunting with the medals reminded me of rock/austin at wm 15. angle slam off the top was nice, but it came out of nowhere (not in a good way), cool suicide dive. GET THE MAN A CHAIR. angle targeting the ankle, that's the limb work i was looking for. angle missing the moonsault looked painful. these guys are kicking out of every thing. i liked the finish but i feel like angle could have worked over the ankle a lot more. cool having punk not tap out but it didn't make sense. it's not like it was a choke where he passed out, idk just didn't like it. match was intense though. i wonder where punk will go from here. angle should get the winner of brock/armdrag.

- lesnar/bryan, big match feel to it. lesnar is such a beast. love brock dominating right from the get go. that suicide dive was crazy. nice touch having the table getting destroyed. love the use of styles here. brock being the power guy, and bryan using his quickness, kicks, and flying stuff to work over the champ. the lariat turning arm drag inside out was awesome and a great change of pace. bryan busting out a figure four! this match is sweet, i wish brock would dominate more and then bryan can make his underdog comeback though. the shield!!! wtf! not like this, i wanted a clean finish. finishers! cool finish. the interference still made brock look strong. new champ!

awesome show man, you've set up A LOT of stuff going into season two. cannot wait!

I owe this a good reply, so far I've only seen the first match and it was fan freaking tastic. That spear by reigns to dreamer through the table was one of the best poses I've ever seen, purely for the realism of the angle and way he hit him with it. There is little nuances in wrestling/pic fedding that I felt like sometimes you picked up on and sometimes you missed. For example when Reigns gorilla pressed sandman onto the barricade he just layed on the barricade for a couple of pics. In real life I'd imagine sandman wouldn't lay on the barricade, he'd roll off and clutch at his ribs. You picked it up again however when after that beautiful spear by reigns you had dreamer slumped with his head against the table, that's exactly how I'd imagine it would play off in real life so kudos to you for that. This was great will leave more after I finish viewing

This was another good show. Sorry it took me so long to comment on this show. I enjoyed it. I thought it had a pretty good BIG show feel. As always I like the arena, commentary and production. Also cool nods to other companies in your shows, I like the thought that all pic feds are in the same spectrum of a universe.. Good show.
-Shield vs. ECW3 was a cool match. I thought it was a bit short for a blow off match. I liked the hardcore matches in the match. DAMN.. That ladder is fat.. Cool matches, I am glad the Shield won.
-The Misses looks pretty as usual.. Nice Punk vignette.
-The Bull Rope match was ok. I found it a bit hard to get over the fact that it was a string, I wish you had have cut off those end thingys. Some good action in this match. ZEB GET'S TAKEN OUT! I thought it was cool that Kane attacked and all but I thought the build up to the Sheamus/JBL match didn't need this twist at the end of the match, especially at the big SHOW. I do however look forward to Sheamus vs. Kane next Season.
-CW ANDERSON. That's sweet.
-Bray vs. Taker was a match that I thought didn't have enough build up but I still think it will be cool. This match had ok length but I feel like having to messed up finishes in a row wasn't the best decision. I am looking forward to see what you do from here with Foley and Wyatt. 
-I really liked the 6-pack challenge for the European Championship. I loved how Perfect won on such disgraceful fashion. Can't wait to see Mach vs. Perfect in Season 2.
-1 1/2 of the Handicapped Heroes Zach Gowen... That's awesome. Cool Brock Promo.
-Punk vs. Angle was MotN and my favourite match. It had a great Blow Off feel to the feud. I am glad it got brutal. Good stuff. I hope Punk returns.
-THE KING CORINO! That's cool man. Brock vs. Bryan was a cool match. Nice new elites Makes such a differences. It's cool that Brock brought the UFC title out with him. Gosh that F5 to the floor should've murdered Bryan. Glad the Shield got there licks in. I am glad Bryan won. 


Overall this was a pretty great show. Just work on your posing. Your posing is pretty good but is odd for some weird pictures. Also maybe next season finale make the matches a bit longer.. Any way Good stuff. I can't wait for season two and thanks again for promoting GWV on your sponsors page.
