CWE RAW EPISODE 15 - IS ON AIR (Date posted 08 / 08 / 17)

I liked the sting vs cena build up. The main event was really well done and brought the match full circle. Especially liked the surprise ending. The matches and whole raw feel were done really well, however, I felt like I was still watching an episode of Raw.

Since you ask for suggestions ...here we go:). The main issue I have is that it feels like I'm watching the same characters do the same thing as I see on tv. It's wyatts vs orton, Charlotte and Ric, it's the shield, the authority, Lana and rusev. Ya see what I'm getting at? I'm watching action figures do what I've see them already do on tv. Now granted, there's a degree of realism you have to preserve in a pic fed just so people have a reference point, but showing the same characters in the same roles gets repetitive. I've stated before that I barely watch much of wwe/TNA or whatever the hell they call themselves now, so if I go into a pic fed and I look and see it's gonna be about an hour of the same thing I barely watch on tv, do you think I'm gonna want to watch it? No. Now, to your credit, you've changed up Cenas character well but then you align him with the McMahon family. We've seen these authority/heel factions before.
Moreover, the production is a bit disjointed...the music stops and goes, crowd noise stops and goes, commentary is a bit disjointed at times. I'd like to see a bit better flow to the show even get rid of the 6 separate videos. However, the arena and entrances are very well done.
All that being said I commend you for the hard work that I know you put into it and have done for years. You're a veteran that's an asset to the board, so, please don't take what I just said as a personal attack on you because it absolutely is not and I hope we're still cool after this:). But, ya know I hate not replying to your shows because you're always supportive to me and to the board, but I'd be lying if I come on here and say hey, wow, this is great, blah blah blah, but am really not enjoying it. I'm only speaking for myself of course.
But you ask for suggestion or more importantly..."ways to attract you guys to watching more".
For me, I love creativity and originality. I'd like to see you take a few more guys and make them unique characters with compelling storylines. You don't need to revamp the whole roster and thrust them into a parallel universe, because truth be told, there is a certain appeal to seeing some similarities, as that, in itself, distinguishes your fed. There's indeed a level of comfort about watching new day come out and cut a goofy promo, lol, but maybe take some guys or factions and tweek them to make them different and stand out from what we see on tv. Or just make the storylines a bit more intriguing. I think that's the best thing about fedding, is that, you're really only limited to your imagination and maybe FCC laws for appropriate content lol.

But, Again, to each his own, that's just my take. I'm hoping you can find a way to make CWE more than just the pic fed rendition of wwe raw or smackdown moving forward . And of course, if I can help in any way, I'd be more than happy to do so. Looking forward to where things go.


So the positives: Entrances, big show feel, arena

Improvements: 1. overall flow of the show with better transitions of videos/commentary/ graphics. 2. More original character development and storylines

No i totally agree with you guys. It would be nice to branch off for a new CWE fed new logo new show etc. However one thing i'm not particular good with is Logo's or doing graphics. Never have been its the main reason i tend to nick WWE's graphics. As its less work on my behalf. May sound lazy but i dont have time to do any myself with touring in my band too :/. I am trying to keep away from the WWE storylines as you see with Sting / Cena / Forcefield etc. Theres only so much i can do with the same roster though. :/ And i like to keep it as realistic as i can. Rather than far fetched that some of the feds i see on here do. again thats not a knock at anyones fed its mainly my opinion

CWE is a great looking fed. It's very WWE like. But i think that will attract viewers. Some people love seeing that. If your having fun doing what your doing, then I wouldnt worry about it. WWK started going in WWE direction too, with Triple H as the boss and Undertaker vs Sting. But i personally find it more fun to make weirder stories and characters. I'm still new to this... But that's just me. I also don't get alot of views. I think YouTubers will look up RAW PIC FED or look up matches that you have done. And likely find your fed. There's no way someone is searching up 'NO PARKING' like my show lol. So I say stick to what your doing, but don't be afraid to get weird??? I'm rambling... I dunno.

As always, I enjoyed the show dude. I'm really, really enjoying the angle with Cena and the Mcmahon's vs Sting. I also really like this large Corporation like authority group that's building and it reminds me of the Attitude era.

Also, I can understand what the others are saying- but honestly, it's your enjoyment that matters most. So if you're enjoying what you're doing- then why change it? Especially while storyline's and feuds are still in the balance. Plus, the whole it's like WWE thing- yeah it's true, but honestly, how many other feds are done as this small indy promotion? Pretty much the majority are and I enjoy them too, but there's actually less feds that are like a WWE production show and so by copying there logo's and format, strangely enough- your show become's different to the others.

I also think the the fact that you do Raw, Smackdown and NXT is commendable and to be totally honest with you, I'd keep Raw and Smackdown as that WWE style and then with your NXT one, I'd go down a totally different route and have that as the small indy like promotion, almost it's own company and have that display totally different idea's and really let the creative juices flow with that show. That way, you have the best of both worlds and don't even need to split the voting or your fan base lol Just my opinion- could work
