GWV Aniversario: Year 1

Can't wait to check this out.

Nigel opening the show came as a bit of surprise. Almost wet my pants when he said "former bWo member" as I thought it was most likely he'd be wrestling Stevie. It's Nova instead, and since he's in simon dean gear I don't expect this to last long. Lol, he actually acknowledged the simon dean gear. This was a good match, great posing as always, and I'm glad you didn't make it a total squash. Only real issue is there seemed to be a little too much actual wrestling for a Nova match, given the type of matches he has IRL. This improved towards the middle of the match though.
**...exactly the kind of rating for what it was, a semi-fast paced opener. I'm real glad Nova wasn't there just to get squashed.

Hallowicked vs RVD should be good. Entrances were good and remind me of another thing about your fed, you never cut corners anywhere. String for entrances, heck even Simon Dean in the last match got some string shots. This match was kinda iffy for me. All the posing was top notch, as to be expected. Not entirely sure why the lighting suddenly changed halfway through. Though so much of it was RVD doing a spot, or getting countered and Wicked doing another spot. It was like one of RVD's matches with Jerry Lynn, without the technical bits inbetween or with half the flow. I didn't really dig the match, but even a match I disliked is much better then most other matches I see around here, just cause of how good your posing is.
*3/4

Expecting a bit from Gargano/Ryan/Jericho.
Good promo before the match.
This match was a lot better. Great spots,and it was better paced. Could've had just a bit more wrestling in certain parts of it to balance it out but I can't really complain all that much, it flowed well, was entertaining and had great posing.
***1/2

Open Challenge should be cool, have no clue who would challenge.
And it cuts right to Mick fighting Funk. That mini-barbed wire cross is cool. Not entirely sure why this is happening, or where Ziggler is. Probably a time where commentary would really benefit. For all I know, this is the open challenge. Guess that was just a segment, probably should've waited to put the Ziggler graphic until it was ready to start. Cool segment nonetheless, and if New Jack shows up all of my top 4 will be on this show lol. Ziggler's buttcape has TNHW on it. Pretty funny. STEEN!!! This gon be good. Great match that's exactly how it would go in real life. As I'm writing this, Raven and Hawkins/Ryder came out. It's been a real long time since you debuted these guys and I wasn't sure about the concept then, Glad they're doing something on this show. Not glad it involved Steen losing, though this could've been executed better. They should've came out right as he finished the package piledriver, not when he went to pin. I like how Ziggler's overselling certain things, Nigel's post match lariat in particular. Good match, and the ending setup a future match, win win here.
***3/4. Best match so far.

Not sure about what's his name Ant vs Ambrose, but I'm a big Ambrose fan, and I liked those Colony dudes so much that after I saw one match with em I ran to make them in fire pro. You've nailed the psychology of, Soldier Ant, right? Ambrose could've spaced his spots out a little more but it was a nice little match. Didn't like the finish but eh. Shield vs the TNA dudes should be a good match when it eventually happens.
**1/2.Ran too short to become anything special, but good while it lasted.

And now it's time for Blonds vs Wolves. To prevent myself from having to change my pants, I've decided to not wear any at all.
Pretty cool they're wearing the blonds vests. Was a little disappointed when I saw austin wearing a regular one but then he had the other underneath. So many streamers they coulda bathed in them. Wolves look great, find it funny one of them is wearing Pillman's paper vest. Good match so far, but in these last few seconds I've been saying....wtf? Pillman does his springboard lariat, his finish. Eddie, or Davey I forget, gets up almost immediately after and then Pillman has him in a reverse fireman's carry position. Good spots inbetween, some really good posing with the basic. Pillman does an inverted piledriver, which confuses me. Most of the match was good, and some of the subtle stuff (IE, the guy diving on Pillman, causing him to collide with Austin, and when they both get up they look at eachother instead of going on and pretending nothing happened) really put this one higher for me. Would've liked to see the blonds win but the Wolves made sense. Stone Cold grabbing the beers post match makes this, no joke, my MOTY so far when it comes to pic feds. Well maybe second only to your trios match. Everything suddenly falls apart when the KoW come in and Pillman uses a psycho driver on Austin.....now I get it. Great match. Great finish. Great aftermath. About as good as it could get. Well besides the very small selling issue. And I thought you could've incorporated some more of Pillman's character into the match itself.
****1/4

Daniel vs Undertaker is the main event, and it should be a good one.
Good match, but one thing made it not as good as it could've been to me. Undertaker seemed to go down with minimal effort. Daniel worked on him a lot, sure, but it always seemed like Taker let him. He didn't put Daniel through hell, Daniel seemed to do everything with ease, and taker barely fought back, unless it involved him reversing something into one of his finishers. Not as good as it could've been, but still damn good. Raven's group coming out was okay. Raven vs Taker would definitely be a good match.
***3/4
The ? Vader is with Raven? Glad to see you using Vader, really not sure about the group of Raven, Zack Ryder, Curt Hawkins and....Vader.

Promos are pretty cool so far. That guy in the background of the Excalibur promo could double as commentator Corino.
Raven promo could've been a bit more...I dunno, Raven-ish? Reminded me of my earlier ones where I'd just do a line or two and then the end line. Could've elaborated on why exactly he attacked Undertaker, now's his one opportunity as I dunno when your next show's gonna be. Liked his gear for the promo tho.

X-Pac joining the roster is meh.

This show was great. Even the match I enjoyed the least was one of the better matches I've seen in a good long while. 2 truly great matches (Blonds/Wolves, Steen/Ziggler), solid undercard matches, like the 3 way and Nigel vs Nova, and a solid albeit not all that competitive match in the form of D-Bry vs Taker.

Not the top to bottom amazing show Battle Of Hamilton was, but a very solid effort and definitely worth the wait.

8/10

Lookin forward to this. Good posing right off the bat which is really your thing. Thank you for the pause to read the commentary.. Lol at the chase outside the ring in the opening match. Great match with rvd and hallo wicked. Awesome posing throughout and some surprise near falls. Lmao at jericho Callin joey Ryan a sexual predator. Not gonna go through details in every match but each one was really superbly done with the poses and kept my interest. The personalities of the wrestlers you've really nailed down as well. I like the GWV vs TNHW angle you have going. As always the after show vignettes always add that needed extra to a fed. A few arm/hand shadows. Saw some string, but overall an effort that isn't overshadowed by any of that. It'd be cool if you had an animation program, the pics would blend more smoothly and it would probably bring out the posing strengths more. A show well worth the wait:). Great job!

I can't even begin to tell you how much I've been looking forward to this, Wicked! Let's do this!

-Nigel McGuiness? AWESOME!
-Nice technical match there, loved the handshake at the end.
-That Hallowicked custom is incredible!
-AWESOME match, just AWESOME! An absolute spot-fest, loved it!
-Oh My God! Heisenberg's a GWV fan!
-Ha! Brilliant, Jericho tried to form an alliance with someone he'd just PO'd, what an Ass Clown!
-That top-rope Walls of Jericho was INCREDIBLE!
-Match of the night so far! Loved the comedy bit with Y2J after the match.
-Time for the Show-Off!
-Cactus and Funk? Fellas, what are you doing?!
-That was a cool brawl. Hope this is leading to a match!
-Boo, Vince, boo!
-Ziggler vs Steen? YES! Sign me up!
-Not sure what happened at the end of the match there, but I'm sure the promos will explain all later on. Good match.
-Love how Vince cowered away there while he was being threatened.
-McGuiness vs Lesnar should be good! I think it's obvious to everyone who I'll be rooting for in that one.
-Time for Soldier Ant vs Ambrose!
-Good match! R.I.P. Curb Stomp
-I've been looking forward to this one!
-Awesome match! I liked how the Blonds put over the younger talent.
-*JR voice* Why, Pillman, why? You sick son of a b***h! *JR voice*
-Huh. Looks like the KOW don't want your help Brian!
-Main Event time!
-Them again?!
-Another incredible match! I was hoping for 'Taker to get the win, but Bryan derserved it more.
-HOLY CRAP! IT'S VADER!

All in all, the show was AMAZING! Show of the Year candidate for sure! I can't fault the posing, it was consistently great throughout the show. The triple threat was my favourite match. Great job Wicked!

Time for promos!

-What? Oh man, that sucks for Savage. Hope he's back soon!
-The KOW for champs!
-Hahahaha, you've got to love Joey Ryan!
-I wouldn't want Excalibur's job. Especially with BROCK F'N LESNAR on his way!
-Steen is PO'd!
-Are you OK down there, Dolph?
-Congratulations again Bryan!
-I like how you've made Ambrose the main guy in The Shield. He's awesome!
-Jericho's having a bad night!
-Creepy Raven promo, but it cleared up my confusion from earlier on!
-I'm sure you'll do cool things with your new signings, but I'm not a fan of the Usos or X-Pac. Interested to see how you use them in GWV though!

Great promos! That was a long show, but definitely worth the wait!

Your posing was on point, just fantastic, as usual

Like the text for promos. Helped tell the story

Your arena has an awesome indy feel

Love the streamers

You have awesome customs, and along with that your roster selection is quite unique, and i really like it

Match of the night for me goes to jericho vs ryan vs Gargano. Lots of awesome spots and done well

You also did a great job in the ambrose match, the running poses were great, which is a hard thing to get right

I get why you dont as there are a ton of pics, but a couple of shots would have really benefited from string being edited out


The cactus anf funk thing seemed random

Loved the promos at the end

Great stuff, you should be proud

Thanks for the review.
-I am glad someone notices how I don't cut corners.
-I know you've seen a fair bit of RVD matches.. A lot of RVD's matches are just spots, show boating and reversals especially when he is facing someone with a similar style. 
-I put the Ziggler graphic before the brawl because I wanted Cactus and Funks brawl to seem like the spur of the moment and spontaneous and shock the audience. 
-I think I executed Steen losing perfectly.. It showed how Steen had the match in the bag until Raven came out and pissed him off. Steen could've won if he wasn't trying to show boat to Raven and prove he isn't what Raven calls him and that is a loser..
-No pants is a great way to watch pic feds..
-The thing is with Pillman he never had a definitive awesome finish. Therefore I use the springboard lariat as just another move and not a signature so the selling shouldn't be as big, especially when it would've slowed the pace of the match down. In my fed Pillman's finish is the Pyscho Driver and I make him do crazy head spiking moves like the inverted tomb stone to accentuate that he doesn't give a damn about his opponents well being because he is crazy.. As for not using to much of his character.. I think I used enough without going overboard in the crazy department.. I made him embarrass steve austin countlessly with his crazy actions (trying to attack them before the match and being held back by the ref, Holding the title up before the match like a but, hugging Stone Cold at the start) and I did other subtle nuances throughout the match. Also I thought him attacking his dear friend Austin at the end incorporated his loose cannon tendencies..  
-In Taker vs. Bryan I made Bryan come out at Taker with the violent quick force of himself when he battled Takeshi Morishima and gave him the ruthless attitude of Yuji Nagata. I mean Taker put up the best fight he could do.. 
-Glad you liked it but I thought this show was 20x better than BOH.. Thanks..
Thanks for the review. I am glad you liked the show. 
-It was Nigel's rebound Lariat before it was Deans .. Dean uses it as a tribute.. As for editing string.. I edited a lot of pictures as it is. Editing is a lot to do when you take so many pictures like I do..
-The Drake sign was for Drake Younger. Who couldn't make it to the show..
-The Steen scales up pretty well I think.
-I would like to think I use the Shield a bit differently then other people..
-I couldn't just make SCSA no sell my tag champions.. To make the match more interesting I had to let everyone get an offence in.
-There was a spotlight involved in Taker's entrance.  
Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you Titchstar.
-It was a huge relief to release this.
-TNHW has been posted on here before but not that much. Check out my boy's work.. Here's the link: www.youtube.com/user/teamRATEDcds
-Thanks. I am glad that the you like the Steen custom..
-I am glad you like me using the Shield.. 
-That King of Posing comment made my day.. <3
Thanks for the review. I am glad you liked the show.. 
-Thanks. Hallowicked is one of my favourites as you can probably see.. 
-You're a big Brock fan I reckon.. I am a big Nigel fan... Who will win.. 
-The curbstomp won't leave the GWV ever.!!!
-Thanks so much for the SOTY comment! <3
Thanks so much for the review. Glad you liked the show.. 
-BAoW that's a weird comparison Not saying that is a bad thing..
-I am so glad someone actually gets why I don't edit my string and has compassion.
-Yes I do make all of my customs..
Thanks again. Glad you liked the show.. 
-A bunch of shots did benefit from string being edited out..

I would love to see some more reviews guys.. 

Alrighty...

Nigel vs. Nova - I have 0 idea who either of these individuals are, but the match was quality.

Hallowicked vs. RVD - Amazing custom figure. Fun match

Gargano/Ryan/Jericho - Only know one of these individuals. Another quality match, though.

ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE!

Steen? Isn't that Owens from NXT? Either way, also enjoyable. I don't have a problem with Mattel/Jakks in this instance. Owens is bigger than Ziggler.

Great first video.

SHIELD!

Enjoyable tag match.

Good match but Bryan over Taker? Even with interference? Boooooooo.

Overall, fantastic show. Normally can't stand these YouTube shows, but yours I dig. Pics do go by slightly quick for my liking, but still able to keep up with it so I say bravo, for your work there.

Really enjoyed it! And I look forward to seeing where some of these storylines go from here.

Thanks Champ. I appreciate the review. It's a bummer about all of your shows being taken down. 

First off, love the diversity of the roster, all sorts of different characters, very indy feel to it

Nice Nigel custom, and simon dean was a nice surprise.
liked how simon worked the arm, good match psychology there
loved how you did Nigel's signature moves too, captured his essence well!

I liked the bit where RVD flipped hallowicked inside out by his foot, so he did a backflip... and seemed like Hallowicked tried to land on his feet to recover, but he landed on his ass.. was funny.. then they shake hands... so it was a unique spot.
Never seen RVD do michinuku driver before... but maybe that silly old WWE told him not to do it... aha
sick ending and nice custom of hallowicked also!

gargano is smelly
how is that Joey Ryan Custom so smooth and identical?
LOL, Y2J's comments on joey ryan was funny
smelly won, but he had a good point about money and Y2J's ego... speaking of, LOL'd when Y2J kicked the barricade but fell over
ziggler open challenge..., but cactus and funk are killing each other! Cactus is the king
I felt it was weird having VInce in this promotion, but he\s repping another brand... this money maker doesnt belong in GWV, he's too stuck up
Nigel for the save!!! him .vs. Lesnar will be beast (pun intended)!

FUN start with Solider Ant getting better of Ambrose, was fun.
I think Dean and Nigel will need a chat about who gets to use that les-kellet-esque rope rebound lariat...
SHEILD and XXX I seee!!

so cool to see hollwood blondes in action!
The shooting star countered with a stunner was the best bit, I think AUstin should have got the win there!!
Kings of Wrestling are cool, nice Hero custom!

Daniel Bryan and Taker, an MMA indy smarks dream match!
Smash mouth finish!
Glad undertaker respected Daniel also... but I think Taker would have won with tombstone if Raven's gang didn't come out during the match...but Taker\s dive to those goofs was coooool. MAIN EVENT worthy for REALS!
VAder bomb looked lethal... a raven/ taker seems a great idea


nice additional promos too.
Shame about Savage's injury
Joey doesnt like sausage festivals
Excalibur has alot to deal with... dang it!
look forward to luke harper's antics!
RVD's stoner table
Nice image for Raven, hat suits him
X-pac will fit in nicely for sure!

all in all good show., I liked the brawl with cactus/funk, that kept things fresh inbetween matches, so maybe backstage segments in between matches would be good aswell?
