Since we're talking about annoying board habits, I used to post new shows only to have certain current and old board members ignore them-- and then comment on weeks-old and sometimes months-old shows in order to push my new work down. Those were dark, ugly times.
As for replying, if I watch a show in its entirety, you did something right in my eyes and I will leave a reply, either on the board or on PM. If I start a show and it doesn't "grab me" and I don't finish it, it's not fair to pretend I liked it and leave a fluff BS reply. While I do appreciate effort, I'm not gonna insult someone openly by just saying "good effort" or "I liked that one pose." I've seen so many carbon-copy replies left that makes you wonder if they really watched the show at all--or if they are just parroting what another poster said. When I do leave a reply, I try to put over what I really liked, what make me lol, or what was so crazy cool I marked out for.
Good discussion here guys, glad to see things taking a positive turn here.

The one that (Can't mention their name) was doing. It didn't get funded though. But what was the funding even supossed to be for? Not entirely sure, but it appears to have been a money grab to establish set-up costs to get those arenas factory produced, boxed and shipped. Love the designs, not sure why his costs were so high, unless it was just to drive traffic to his website where he can sell some there. Who knows.

It's not that I don't like it. I was just thinking it's starting to look a bit outdated.
Really? I don't think so at all. Besides your only episode #2 in your fed so to be honest I would maybe just leave it now and work more on the stuff you want to tighten up like your string poses. I mean you can add or subtract stuff from the arena or add stuff. Do you have cameramen? That might be something to add to I don't know make it pop a little more for you?
I just added this to my classic WWF arena, I still have to get different lights for the corners and I purchased some type of flexible strip lighting to put inside the rig to make the whole thing light up. Really impossible to do as I cant lift my right arm more than shoulder height I had to make my wife hang it lol!
Still want to finish this up though someday. Buy anyways you can add stuff to your arena without scrapping and starting over again and as always PM me and I can help I am pretty good at setting up arenas with ideas and stuff. That's a nice little setup you got there! Shame you don't put it to use anymore. I think the TWA could ride again... Is the plastic to keep your cat outta the ring? Maybe you should put plastic over your computer too when you're not using it, lol! Wars

@dracula1 - Going to shoot you a PM John. Got some ideas I'd like your opinions on. EDIT: I'm not able to send you the message after all. It says you've blocked me? I'm sorry if I offended you John, but I did really want to discuss these ideas with you.
??
Try it again and if the same thing happens make a post I will see why that is I didn't block you if ut is it wasn't intentional my man.
Count Dracula! That cat is back at it again! Wars

Man did Jericho get run into the ground. At the time I remember we had the EXACT same lively debate we are having now when I said everyone is using Jericho. He even won like character of the year I think in Tirva's fed. A totally overkilled character on here.
Tirva...always liked his user name. In two years time, there could be no Wyatts around in feds, and Jerichos might be back. I'd like to see some of the newer starting feds use different guys, and I think we have that with GWA using Riley and Rowan as a singles competitor, MEL using Vader, WFW with Khali. It's more the main event cast I think, but as long as people produce entertaining shows I personally have no issue with it. If you're a classic guy, like you are, John, then it's natural you'd get bored more quickly of modern stars, just like if I watched five classic-style pic feds that all had The Iron Sheik and Paul Orndorff in the main event.Sheik's response: "You jabron!In my day I beat living [expletive] out of all fed piccers who challenge the legend. I put them in a camel clutch, break they back [two or three expletives], and make them humble a old school. But now I am not in same shape as before so I don’t [expletive] with them, except a bigjohnevil. Titch don’t last long like because he not a real man like the Sheiky baby. He get beat bad like [wow... not printing that] and never make it to Olympics Figamania. Only for the Olympics for being [or that]."

You know what this seems to be getting away from the point I was trying to make here GWA so I will stop replying on it, you can obviously use whomever you want to in your fed I never said that other than my own personal opinion on the matter and what I like to view in my own personal taste for feds. I get what you're saying John, but I think the problem is the lack of variety of figures out right now. The wrestling action figure market is dominated by wwe elites and what they choose to put out, as they have the superior figure. For example I can never have the roster I truly want. If it was up to me and I had the money by roster would be Mattel elites of wrestlers all over the planet. From the American wolves to finn ballor and hideo Itami, to hayabusa and jinsei shinzaki to the shield, you get the point wrestlers from all over the planet from the mid 90s to now. So I think that's the reason we see reoccurring characters. That's the cards we are delt with, because that's what we can get our hands on without breaking the bank on customs So shuffle that deck and make your own! I know I'm the last person that should talk, buuuuut, since I know Mattel won't be getting around to my 80's guys anytime soon, I'm working to fill my needs so I can shoot some shows and possibly participate in joint shows again. I do know I won't wait on Mattel though, or be satisfied with what's available. I appreciate all customs good bad and ugly if it's for fedding. I think we are pretty forgiving when it comes to bad customs for fedding--not everyone is an axehennig or famousj! Wars

He should be portrayed at Windham Rotunda, who's schizophrenic and cant figure out if he's a cowboy, IRS agent, a stalker or a west texas redneck and he just has episodes of each while in the middle of matches. This. I would really enjoy seeing this. In my opinion, it doesn't really matter if the same characters are in multiple feds--as long as each fed feels different, and gives you a memorable story that you can get into. The story lines and the feel need to to be memorable enough so that you don't confuse one fed for another. Focus on the fed, not the roster. Wars

This is an example of the RARE occasion of a Mattel figure being more muscular than the actual person, lol!! Wars

Those are nice. I never did get my hands on Shockmaster or Berzerker before I sold off my Classics. Those Super Friends are awesome too. Those are the highlight of the lot IMO Those Super Friends are glorious! I have to limit my collecting due to space, otherwise I'll be the one on "Hoarders," lol I really like the Nasty Boys 3-pack and the Berzerker. I never owned Berzerker, he looks great! Wars

Got a great haul from a friend, lots of MOC JAKKS too-- but let's focus on what's important: MATTEL LEGENDS! I needed a Hillbilly, Demolition, Tornado, Kevin Von Erich and Macho King for my collection. The rest are for trades and customs. I've kinda forgotten how cool the packaging was on these guys! Looking back now almost five years later, I can't believe how badly bungled the roll-out of the Legends line went. If JAKKS could make a Classic Superstars/Legends line work, why can't the 2nd largest toy company in the world? Just things that make you go, "hmmmmm." Anyway, great figures! Wars
