Puppet-Mania
In 2016, I pitched the idea of a "Puppet-Based WWE TV Show" that could be catered to young-adults or children depending on the brand's priority. I started by creating puppet-versions of WWE's most colorful personalities Corey Graves and Xavier Woods, then producing, puppeteering, and editing a series of segments and segment previews in what would ultimately become the "Puppet-Mania Sizzle Reel" featured below.
"Puppet-Mania Sizzle Reel". This was met with enthusiasm and began discussions among department heads to find out where it'd be best fit. The project was ultimately placed on the back burner due to a similar, unrelated venture by another WWE Athlete.
"Puppet-Mania Presents: Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A Start". This is the original segment that I pitched in early 2018 which parodies the actual WWE Athlete Xavier Woods' and his massively successful YouTube gaming channel "Up Up Down Down".
