Thats right. In a day or 2 I'm going to be starting a new custom cover. Not for sure what it will be. But the cover will be of something from the 80s or early 90s WWF. It will be about my first cover since doing the TLC 2009 one back a few months ago. So expect some more information on it here in the next day or so.

Thats right coming 2-11-2010 will be many WIP's of my Royal Rumble 1992 custom cover, the cover by then will be finished and released. Following day I will show off the WIP's. Expect at least 10 shown. Also don't expect anything on a Royal Rumble 2010 cover, just didn't have the time to work on one, and didn't have any good ideas. Though things could always change and maybe I'll come up with

For the release of my first "exclusive content" I'm posting a Summerslam logo scanned at 600dpi. Its not an official logo to a year, but it resembles the 1988-1989 Summerslam logo the most.

Some big news for any and all fans of my blog. I will now start releasing exclusive content here on my Wrestling DVD Covers blog! And the content will not be limited to only "dvd" content, and I plan to release some logos and images. Of course for some people to maybe use towards their own wrestling covers. I hope people like the content I post.

Some time early in the new year I plan on starting a second blog that will feature movie covers, scans and posters. Also I will have a third blog for video game covers, scans and everything. With 100s of video game magazines I know I have quite alot to offer. Plus on top of that I might do some other blog or two, but not for sure. I hope to get all of these off the ground and running in early

Wasn't really a priority to get this cover done, so thus it was never finished. It was meant to be a higher quality version of my program covers I made a while ago which were all small.

This was during the very early stages of my Bragging Rights cover. More WIP's of it will be posted.

This was the original idea for the front, but the images were a little tricky so I didn't go with it. Maybe some day I might though.

This was one of the few covers I planned to do for the 2009 Survivor Series, but due to time I just couldn't finish it. I know one day I will finish this one. You can sort of tell I was going for that Survivor Series 1990 look.

Heres a way early look of a cover that never did get finish, some day I do plan on doing this cover just because I think that poster is sweet.

Another one of my favorite covers. Its a full blown Wrestlemania 7 custom cover.

This was the first preview I did up for the TLC cover, so you can kind of see where I started.

As you can see I was going for some what of a comic book look, but at the last second changed my mind. lol i did end up doing the whole cover over again just about.And sorry for this being my first WIP in a few months I think.

This is another favorite of mine. Took me a long time to finally make one and I wanted to do a Survivor Series 87 custom every since I started with covers. So anyway you can get the full at the WCF site. WIP's will be shown here soon.

This was a cover someone requested and I just happened to do it, along with the help of my friend Crumble. He made a 2nd version. Both can be found on the WCF site.

Ok this might be my second favorite custom I've made. I'm just so happy with how this cover turned out. I will in the next few days post some WIP's of it.

I touched this one up a little bit. Its the custom Wrestlemania 9 cover I had made back about 8 months ago. I consider it my favorite cover I made.Full cover can be found on the WCF site. http://wrestlingcoverforum.com

I redid this cover not to long ago, as you can see the Hogan?bundy come from the Legends of Wrestlemania. Other then that its all original from the CHV cover.

Some good news, I have finally got a new scanner, will be uploading many scans and doing some psd's. And of course will finally have whats needed scanned for the covers I've been wanting to do. So look forward to some covers in the near future.

CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE COVERI did the cover in only 1 day, working like non stop on it. Anyway was meant to look like a classic 70s/80s wrestling poster (match card poster). I think it might be one of my best covers to date. And I hope they only get better. The full cover can be found on the WCF site.

Looks like I might end up not doing a HIAC cover due to still not being able to get photoshop to work. So hopefully some time next week I'll reformatt my pc and get photoshop up and going, and be back to making some covers.

Turned 26 today, lol getting old...But got my best gifts ever, NBA2k10, a new 360 & a new laptop as my 3 birthday gifts....Now if I could just get photoshop to work I'd be all set lol.

Yep thats right coming soon, Starrcade. Not going to say which one will be made first or when I'll be starting, but that in the near future I will be doing Starrcade custom covers from 1983-1987 at least.*******UPDATE*********I still plan on doing some Starrcade covers, just to update I will be releasing at least one this fall, I'd like to say in December around the Starrcade time of the year.***

Well I was planning on taking a break, but I think I've changed my mind. I did have my PC crash the other day and had to have everything recovered, thus photoshop wont work, have already uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it still wont work right, so I'll keep playing around with that, if it wont work at all I'll have to reformatt my pc. That of course sucks but I'll just need to save a few

I finally won my first WCF award, the EOTM for most official cover for Summerslam 2009. Topping that off I was the first ever co-winner along side Rated R.

As said about a week ago, I was going to be showing off a bunch of Summerslam WIP's. Well that is still going to happen, I just had a set back, due to losing internet for about a week. Some good news is during that time I would say I added about 25+ WIP's to the already 25+ WIP's I already had. So look forward to many previews coming soon.Also, I made some videos as well, which I'll be uploading

Just finished this cover late last night. it is the only custom cover for Summerslam i am going to be releasing, on top of the 5 retro's I have already finished and released, on the WCF site.

An update, I have finished 2 of my Summerslam 09 retro covers, both are shown on the WCF site, fulls have yet to be released but they are coming very soon. Plus more Retros are coming soon as well. So anyway back to the topic at hand, I have alot of WIP's to show off for the retros and the custom I've been working on (thats not finished). Don't know if I'll show the WIP's today or tomorrow.

These are all somewhat throw away WIP's just because they look nothing like what the final cover will look like, it was just ideas put on as a "rough draft" to see how the cover might look. Without putting alot of work into the cover.

Here the cover is almost completed, I added all the wrestlers to the back, so no more psd's are needed, just the font for the match ups and thats about it.

For this preview, pretty much all that was added is the boxes on the back along with Cena

On this preview over the last one I added DX and that was about it. Wasn;t that easy finding the right psd to use for DX, I think this one though is a new one from the psd-dreams site.

Quoted from the WCF site Alright everybody, after a few hours of tinkering around and getting some things straight, the forum is back up and running and EVERYTHING is restored from the moment we went down.I've turned off the forum as Ben and I have just a few changes to make before we are opening her up again.I would like to say though that Steve -- if you were going to lie to us and say that it

As you can see I added "tags" to the right side, to make it easy for finding what you want, but not only that, but I cleaned alot of the useless tags up, such as removing tags like "hulk hogan" "ultimate warrior" "dvd" and "custom covers" and about 25+ other useless tags. Also along with the I will be trying to improve some of the content, such as just making the "tags" part look a little better,

Yes I am somewhat still "delayed" making covers, because of the fact that PSDprotocol is still lacking alot of its PSD's, but they are working hard, so hopefully in due time the needed PSD's will be on their site for use. But in the mean time I'm some what working on the building stages or like templates of the Summerslam covers, hence why all thats shown is the background/font/logo thats about

And another updated look, now as you can see the background has been added, wasn't all as easy at it looks. Also a little something, is this WIP of the v3 Summerslam 09 cover will only be shown off here, of course until its finished, then it will be shown on the WCF.

In case you don't know this is the early stages of my Summerslam 2009 custom retro, based on the Summerslam 1990 cover.

Someone asked how to get some of my full covers, or how to make covers like mine. The answer is simple, you can get fulls to most of all my covers, just not here. You can get my covers at the WCF forums, by looking up my name or looking up a cover you want. But the new WCF 2.0 site was shut down, but its in the process of returning soon. And also a few of my covers can be found at the older WCF

I would be working on my Summerslam covers, but at the moment for the past few days now the psdprotocol site has been down, and now being rebuilt, so once they get all the needed content back, I'll be back to work on some covers. But I might be working on some template type stuff for the covers, so there may or may not be a WIP preview today or tomorrow, of the other covers besides the v1 cover

Here is the first preview I'm showing, its not the first I've made, but many more to come. And yeah its V1 meaning its version 1, I will be making at least a few versions.

Yep thats right, I've started on my Summerslam 2009 custom cover. In the coming days & weeks I'll be showing off some WIP/s of it. And I'll be showing the most WIP/s with this cover, then any other I've done, so look forward to alot of looks at this cover in its early stages all the way to when its finished almost a month from now.

OK not really.. But I have sort of been taking a break from making covers after getting the Survivor Series 2001 cover finished. I have though been brain storming about my Night of Champions cover. Still dunno if I'll even do one. I do have some early NOC wip's made up, but those wont be released any time soon, unless I get a feel of the cover I want to make and so on, they will be released some

This was a requested cover, and of course if you don't know already its based on Survivor Series 1987. Will be releasing a few more like this in the coming days/weeks.The full will be released soon on the WCF.

Haven't shown any new previews on the Summerslam 89' cover, and with reason I haven't been working on it. But I now have another set back with it. I had thought I saved all the psd/cuts I done from the program, and instead all I have is whats on the cover psd. So to really do anything else with the cover I might need to re cut Hogan/Beefcake, Savage/Zeus/Sherri, and I already had Warrior/Rude

Yep thats right coming soon, Starrcade. Not going to say which one will be made first or when I'll be starting, but that in the near future I will be doing Starrcade custom covers from 1983-1987 at least.

Non wrestling cover related...As you can see theres a new template. Over the next few weeks I'll probily be going through alot of different templates until I find just the right one. Feedback is welcomed.Here is the current template I'm using http://btemplates.com/2008/12/31/color-paper/

I never shown this off before, it was one of my first ideas on the Rumble 09 cover to put 8 wrestlers on the front and I was going to have some city like background or something weird. I dunno but I never went past this on this cover, my ideas changed not long after I made this.

Here I'll show what I started with all the way to the finished cover for my Bash 09 retro style cover. Here is the original Bash 88 cover that this cover is based on:Now I didn't follow suit and use the same logo, so I edited another classic logo one in which was used for this Bash 86' cover:I didn't create my own logo or anything, went with this one from psdprotolcol Then I started...My first

This was maybe my 3rd WWE custom cover for WCF, at the time I thought the concept was great, but it didn't turn out so great now. It has some cool old school traits to it.

Thought I'd post something a little off topic on the wrestling covers subject. Here are some of my past WCF sig's I've had in the past few months. * The Mega Bucks ** Macho Man ** King James wins the MVP ** Hulk Hogans...Be a survivor DON'T SMOKE! *

As I said I would show off my Bash custom cover here first. SO anyway just started on this late last night, one day before the PPV, unless I work real hard on it tonight, and I don't think I will, it just wont get done until some time next week, I'd like to say well before the weekend, but who knows. Check back for many more previews for this cover.

Sorry for the lack of posting, but had alot going on. Anyway as if no one knew it, this cover will take a while to finish. One reason being I'm cutting everything that will go on the cover, unlike some or most others that have psd's that already been cut. So in this update I've got Savage/Zeus/Sherri added, but where their at on the cover doesn't mean thats where they will be at.

Here is my latest project Summerslam 1989..Custom. This will be my first of many classic covers I do custom's of turning them in to modern looking graphic covers, rather then in the past just being a convert, or custom being just to keep it looking original. In the past the closest I have came to doing custom classic covers are my WM9 and RR90 covers, both still had major intent to look basic and

This video has to be a rare one, I've never seen the video at a rental store in my life, and I use to rent at a few places in the 90s that had almost every single wrestling video made, never seen this one though, nor do I ever find it on Ebay for sale. I think this is where I found this full at, but it had to be the only time I ever seen it, as it is I've had the full for a few years now.

This was a cover I made well before my WCF days, and before I knew much about cover making, but its still way better then my older covers. This IMO could be a good looking cover is the right font, and the front was cut well. but instead the font is terrible, and the front is just a poster that doesn't match in colors (see the white).Event Info: via WikipediaWCW Superbrawl

I changed up my idea for this a little, I was looking up some ideas on King of the Ring covers, and I seen Ben's KOTR 2008 cover and I thought that leather book background would look good, and make it look more official like, so I'm now playing around with that.

My latest American convert DVD done, WWF King of the Ring 1993, I had got this video case about a month or so ago and as soon as I got it I started on this project, but the project was sort of put on hold over the past month. So with nothing to do today I put a good 3-5+ hours into finishing it.For more info on the cover, and to get the full then check out the WCF where its posted.Event Info: via

This is what I almost went with for my Wrestlemania 13 custom cover, it was more like the official poster for the event, but this is how the cover ended up looking Click HereAnd also the front wasn't finished, nor was the back even close to being done.

Here are 2 covers, one is sort of rare, the other is not. One is the official WWF Wrestlemania 15 VHS cover of the PPV, the other is the WWF Wrestlemania 15 highlight video cover. IMO the highlight video has a way better front. Highlight video:PPV video:Hmm...Maybe this someday could make for a nice custom cover??

IMO one of if not the best fronts for a wrestling cover, with its drawings on the front, with the cage, but the back is about as stale as they come, though for 1987 it still offered as much on the back as any WWF video did. Its a shame more wrestling covers aren't made like this. Least the front anyway.

Found this cover on Ebay early this year, its not an American cover of course, I think its from Australia? Least that's where the person was shipping from.

Kind of a forgotten cover I made not to long ago, its one I do think turned out very good, and has a good official look to it when you compare it to the original.You can find the full cover at the WCF

Here's a tough one to find WWF Survivor Series 1989 the VHS cover, I happened to have it, found it off ebay long ago, though I own the cover and have a HQ scan of it, this is not HQ, but better then anything else.

Got quite alot done tonight on the front, to a while to find good pics of all 28 other wrestlers on the front, I think the idea I started with is turning out to look pretty good. Still a ways to go with the back, and the front isn't even finished, mainly I need to get a better font, and get the right Coliseum Video font ect..

Shown off here first, is my next project WWF Royal Rumble 1990. I had seen a cover of a movie, and an idea popped in my head. Its something of a cover I always wanted to do, that being a Rumble cover showing everyone or almost everyone in it on the front/back but in a good flashy looking way. I hope this was will work. Now as it shows there is Warrior/Hogan on the front, they come from the WM6

A cover VERY hard to come by or find online. I happened to scan this when I owned the video, I have no idea where the HQ scan went, but I sold the video years ago so, this is all I got. Better then nothingEvent Info: via WikipediaRoyal Rumble (1990) was the third annual Royal Rumble professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by the World Wrestling Federation. It took place on January 21,

This is one of my most early custom covers, made some time around 2005 - early 2006, well before I knew anything about what it takes to make a cover. This was nothing more then a simple cut and paste type cover, with some cheesy effects, but I was really happy with it back then.As for the cover and everything, I used some template I found on the net, it was crap then, and still is, someone would
