In 2006 YouTuber PESfanatic06 started one of the earliest wrestling figure picfeds on YouTube. A picfed is a wrestling figure federation that is filmed by taking pictures of the figures in action shots but not necessarily stopmotion animated. PESfanatic06's WFA was a mostly a picfed occasionally including a small amount of stopmotion. In 2009 his channel briefly was removed from YouTube before being reinstated. IN a now deleted video PESfanatic06 explained that his channel was taken down due to copyright. This was due to wrestler tribute videos notably one of wrestler Sting containing copyrighted material in their compilations.
According to PESfanatic06, he contacted YouTube with the request in to reinstate his channel in return he would delete all his wrestling tribute videos which only made up a minimum of his content. However, while YouTube agreed they removed all his videos resulting in him losing all of his picfed. He explained that he didn't have backups because YouTube was meant to be the backup place he'd keep them. He promised to reboot the series & briefly did but as a WWE Video Game series (as recording the matches in games) which was poorly received. He deleted those at a later time & reupload 2 WFA compilations, 2 WFA intros & a link to Dailymotion with the only surviving full show "24/7 Showdown Week 11".
Since then nobody including PESfanatic06 has been able to find any past shows & the user himself vanished from the Internet. The series never rebooted with PESfanatic06 since claiming "it's not something he promises to go back to" in the description of the YouTube video linking to 24/7 Showdown Week 11.
