RPW SUPERSTARS episode 13 has been uploaded!

I'd be cool if you could check it out if you have the time.



Thanks!

I am in the midst of a massive CAW backlog right now, so I'm going to have to check this out ASAP. The bits and pieces I've seen so far have been great (once again). Really looking forward to actually watching the whole thing, lol.

Another solid show, keep up the great work and effort.

I decided I would go ahead and provide constructive criticism for you, Justin.

You've been consistent on the show length, and 38 to 40 minutes work really well for you, which is something I had considered doing with the VWA myself as well. It's easier to watch and follow, all the necessary content is right there.

I really like the theme music you're using for the Superstars intro and I think it fits really well, it's just that in my opinion the intro is too long. you could try to reduce it to the 40 seconds mark or something that would go lighter on the viewers. As far as the show name goes, personally I instantly think about WWE Superstars which is like their C show or something. It's my personal opinion that people should try to get distant from what the WWE, TNA and other promotions do in order to increase the uniqueness of the show. Your content has very good quality so in my honest opinion I think you should try to go for a name that matches it, that you haven't seen anywhere else. I don't know, maybe something like RPW Infuse or Infused, "this is who we are recognized as, this is our product". May be silly, up to you honestly.

You've always been consistent with the production values by making graphics of your own or remaking pre-existent ones. The matches are well paced and enjoyable to watch, that's one of many strengths you have with the RPW. Redeemer still freaks me out in a positive way. A solid midcarder. His theme music is the perfect fit. Also good to see a Tag Team division match in the Main Event of the show.

For now that's it, a solid event like you've been getting us used to. Looking forward to the following one.

Good stuff, as I've expected from you for awhile now. :-) That's the price of raising everyone's expectations. I marvel at how much you use highlight reel. It must make these matches a nightmare to ingest, but it does give them a look all their own. Keep it up man!

(And thanks for the shoutout, by the way... it WILL be reciprocated)

Thanks so much for so much for all the feedback!

I am going to give you some of the "method to my madness," but please don't take it as me being defensive because I assume you I welcome as much criticism as I can get. As much as I enjoy making caw shows for a hobby I also actually want people to watch them so it's important to me to hear what people have to say.

1) In terms of the show intro I agree. At first I felt some pressure to show my entire roster, and specific moments but the more and more I look at it, the more I think it could use some tweaking.

2) As far as the name goes I agree with you but their is a hang-up. When I started the RPW it was on SVR2011. While looking through the arena options on that game I noticed that the superstars arena had the smallest WWE logo on the ring apron. I really liked the idea that I would have an arena that matched the name of my show. The name choice to call it "superstars," drives completely from that fact. Now I need to change the name but here is the problem I have, in terms of the RPW kayfabe, I am producing a "weekly," show. I don't want my show to be called "superstars," one week and then to be called "burnout," or "infused," or something the next week. I agree with you about steering the show away from any resemblance to WWE and the name does have negative connotations. I am going to change the name, I just need to have a reason. Perhaps I will have a "wrestlemania," type event and change the name after that to signify a new era.

3) I am glad you like Redeemer. I like him too. I am working on my characters. When I was 13 me and all my friends built a ring in my backyard and we would run horrible and usually dangerous shows out of my backyard when my parents were outta town on business and whatnot. Can you guess what we called it? So yeah, most of the characters in the RPW are based on my friends and the characters we made up back in the day. My name is Jay. I do have a brother, his name is Shane, you get the picture. A few guys I just made up randomly and Redeemer is one of them. I plan on expanding his presence as the show goes on.

Again, thank you so much for the detailed comments. I really appreciate them and thanks so much for sticking with the RPW since the beginning.

Take your time. Between my full time job, and working on getting into grad school I get quite a backlog myself.

That's an interesting "beyond the kayfabe" backstory to RPW. It actually just gave me an idea of creating a new thread about it. And yeah, I agree with you. If you do plan on changing the show name in the future there should be a time and place for it.
