Enjoy and please leave a review.

RVD vs Fandango: I thought it was an alright opening match, but there was a lot of very odd poses, also the positions changed a lot too fast which was kinda bad. An alright opening match though, with some good spots as well. The finishing frog splash was nice. 6/10

6-man TLC tag: Here the poses were a lot better in the opener, but something what was trouble in the first match, continued here as well - your camera angles general are very weird; all the time either they are too far away, too high, too close, or positioned oddly. Posing of the figures itself was a lot better though, and I really liked the spots of the match. I lol'd at Deano doing what he does best, titty mastering lmao, that was an awesome scene. Good match with alright poses and spots. Interesting way to end the match tho 7/10

Jimmy vs Fernando: AGAIN, the camera angles are a big problem. Also, there was a few spots where I had no idea about what was happening because of the poses being odd. Anyway, the storytelling and the spot twin magic kinda saved this match, I'm giving it a 6/10

GCW Championship match: Odd camera angles, over and over again. I would suggest to never take two pictures in a row from the same angle, but I really shouldn't suggest anyone to do anything since I'm a rookie xd Some people have made that work, but here it didn't. Anyway, this match was good, good spots and the ending was an interesting development. How the hell did the table not break when Big E did the belly-to-belly(?) to Flair? 6.5/10

WHC match: Some great spots in this match, good stuff when they fought through the audience. Was again filled with odd camera angles, but that didn't take away from it because I'll tell you that the ending was one of the most creative I have honestly ever seen. That was awesome. 6.5/10

Cage of Death: The promos at the start were SICK. That was so dope really. The match itself, good. I wont ever start about the camera angles because I've been bitching about them for the whole show already, so. There were a few spots in the match where I felt like there was too much pictures for one match, especially in the spot where Randy attempted to do a DDT on Rowan and he reversed it by dropping Orton to the trash can, there was like ten frames for that one spot. Great spots throughout anyway, I really enjoyed this match. 6.5/10

An alright show, but I definetly expected more from it. You seriously need to start working on the camera angles more, the positioning of them is so odd. I can understand it's hard to pose the figures correctly and take a good picture at the same time, but it felt a bit like not enough effort was done for every frame. It was kinda spotfesty throughout, but I understand since it was a hardcore show. I have to say that the ending of the WHC match, the sledgehammer-superkick is one of my favorite pic fed spots of all time.

Overall: 6.5/10

Definetly not bad, there was a lot of good moments. I don't want to sound like a professional because I definetly am not - I'm just starting my own fed soon (and you have helped so much with it) - but I'm still gonna suggest you to work on the camera angles. Work on that, and posing, and your shows are gonna be sick. Can't wait for your next show.

Gonna be honest but I wasn't a fan of this show at all. Just seemed like too much crazy stuff happened in each match with no one really staying down. Your posing has improved but I still think you need to work on pacing of the match and developing stories more. Orton and Cena vs the watts in Che of death just seemed weird because it had minimal build. Not sure why Bryan kicked JTM either.


I'm sure you'll figure these things out and do better on the next show.

Thanks for the comment. Will definitely work on these points. And JTM pushed Bryan trough the two tables by accident when he was about to grab the belts. So when Bryan was up the second time to grab them, he only grabbed the IC belt and kicked JTM. ::Heel Turn::

Right sorry in advance, I will get to watching the whole show, but I wanted to watch the Main Event because for me that was the match I was most looking forward too. The idea behind the match was good, but I just feel your execution of the match was off. This match type is so hard to master as you can either make it too tame or just an aimless unrealistic spotfest. I am not saying your match was a spotfest, I am just saying it was leaning more towards that. I just felt there was too much going on in the match. Try and build up to the big spots a bit more, it will mean they have much more impact. Also think about some form of realism, like when Harper speared Cena on top of the barbed wire. That defied a lot of logic for me. Haha. I do like the angle you are trying to run, and the match promo's were badass, I just felt the execution on this occasion was off.

Yeah, it was really hard to get right. During filming I felt the match had way too less holy shit moments that you would expect from the CoD. The spear was basically just Harper trying to stop Cena from jumping on Rowan. And it was supposed to be just a part of the cage, not barbed wire. Anyways glad that you guys enjoyed the promos. I´ll continue making them for the main event of a PPV if possible.

Slowly getting around to the new shows.

Watched this last night and for the most part had the same thoughts as Cody. I'm happy to see that your posing has been improving and that you've been toning down the neck bumps. Thing is, there are still some ridiculous spots and sequences through the show. Now, I am all for creativity and letting your mind flow but some stuff was just flat out wacky. As I was viewing the show with Troy I kept telling him that I feel your fed has no breaks in a way. Going back to what Cody said about pacing I think it would really help if you tone some stuff done and not do move after move with them no selling the impact of something devastating.

On the bright side, your production is still top. Big fan of your crowd set up and the way you presented the TLC match. The Cage of Death promo was really well done as well as the Wyatt's entrance. The TLC match was nice even though it did contain some outrageous spots, one of my favorites being the Superman Punch while JTM was on the ladder. The heel turn was neat too and I'm interested in seeing how you capitalize with it.

All in all, for me, it was one of your weakest shows in recent memory. If you really branch away from doing ridiculous spots as well as work on your selling then I think you'll be just fine. I don't want it to sound like I'm shitting on the show because I'm not. Even though I felt it was low for your standards you still kept my interest through the whole PPV. I'm confident you'll turn things around with Halloween Havoc.

Thanks for the comment man. Yeah the too many spots thing is haunting me. I never really realize that I´m doing them while filming. But I´ll try my best to make Halloween Havoc more enjoyable.
