Toonopolis Fighting World

This review was done by request on the now-defunct E-Wrestler’s Anonymous webpage. Toonopolis was only three months old at the time and still scored fairly well.

EA E-Fed Review

By Mike Blair
July 24th, 2000

This review is going to be based on several different aspects.. Everything from Content to web design will be graded here and I will give a score at the end.. So with that let’s begin…

(All scores are based out of 100)

Toonopolis Fighting World

1.) Web Design

The design is simple but effective. I really don’t like the background color or the s p a c e s i n b e t w e e n e a c h l e t t e r. That’s really annoying. The site does load fast and that’s a plus in my book.

Score: 65

2.) Content

I like all the content on the website. The site navigation is a big plus, more pages should have this. It gives detailed information about each page and what each page is for. This is perfect for someone just coming to the site. They also have an origins page which is also big in my book. It tells about the history of TFW both in and out of character, not very many feds do that, I like that a lot. Another thing I really like is instead of having a rules page, they have a F.A.Q. It’s got all the questions a newcomer to the site would probably have if not more. The content just gets better with the application as it is form based, I really hate that cut and paste app that some feds. It’s a waste of time to cut all the app and paste it into an email and then fill out the details and such. The staff page is good as well. The bios are short but they are to the point. ‘Nuff said. Now onto the bios/roster. I like the bios alot, not to fond of the color of the font though. The bios are really detailed and gives a good idea of what the toon looks like. They also got a rankings page which most feds have but they do it a little differently. They have a points system they use and they explain all about it below the rankings. I like that a lot, very informative. The champs page is also good. While not long it does have the vital info. The upcoming card page needs a little work though, they could give some background info on the match and why it was signed but other than that, I like it. Archives page, another plus… Art gallery, I like it a lot and have no complaints, I always like to envision what an e-wrestler or toon looks like.. And now I come to the final page, the Misc page. I’ve never seen this done with another fed, mainly cuz I’ve never seen another toon fighting fed before. On the misc page they have a cartoon laws of physic section which is very informative and gives the basic rules to a cartoon.. They’ve also got a strat (I’m assuming that’s what it is) form and several other extras that no other place has.. I like the content on this site a LOT…

Score: 100

3.) Cards / Writing

I like what Jeremy said on the upcoming card page.. He said something to the effect of “The show will take place on Saturday morning but remember that in Toonopolis every day is Saturday morning so be ready for it on any day in the real world.” I like that. He doesn’t set a date for the show to come out and keeps the guys coming back day after day to see if the show is up or not. Anyway.. I opened up the July 10th show, I’ve never read a TFW show before so this will be a first… I like how the staff has links to each individual match so you don’t have to read through the entire card to find the match you want to see or are involved in. I like how Jeremy throws in a chance to gain some extra points for the toons… I like how he has images to introduce the next match.. Not many feds do that.. I like the writing of the show.. It mixes toon fighting with wrestling.. I like it a lot. Over all I like the writing and the show in general. I really have no downside to the show, the only one I DO have is that background. Why?

Score: 90

4.) Roleplaying

It seems the toons of Toonopolis do roleplay, frequently.. While the roleplays are not very long some of them are funny in my opinion.. Some of them just don’t have a point to them and could be longer.. This is really the only downside to TFW I see. Get some better roleplaying in and this score would/could go up..

Score: 50

5.) Updates

The website is up-to-date with an update today. I like when a fed updates often and it looks like TFW does.. Even though they are little updates..

Score: 80

6.) Overall

Overall while Toonopolis isn’t really an E-wrestling fed, it does mix the qualities of cartoons and wrestling.. I think very well. I see no reason for this new type of e-wrestling to take off…

Overall Score: 90
