First impression - Not bad, seems a bit sketchy. The "DRW" above and under each board sticks out as sloppy and looks like it was just slapped together. Your coding is very good and well done.
Skin/Template/Colors - Your color scheme seems to fit the theme well. Other than those sketchy "DRW's" above and under each boards your images are good. Interesting banner. I would consider putting in some kind of background image. Ok job here.
Coding - This is one of the best coded board i have seen. Good job on your info center and mini-profiles and "welcome center". Keep it up.
Topics/Theme - This is a very very very unique theme. This may make it a little harder to gain members. You may be able to because you have some professional wrestling in there so i hope it works for you.
Final rate - 8.5/10. Not bad, but your colors are a little weak and your images could use some work. GREAT coding job. I hope your board gets very successful!

Boards/Categories/Content:Ok. You have a fine amount of boards, but you might want to meld a few of the "discussion" boards together. Otherwise, change some of the boards names. If people see discussion, discussion, discussion, over and over, they might interpret it as a bit boring. Also, use a category splitter. Right now the boards just kind of blend together and you don't want that. Ranking: 5/10 ----------------------------------------------- GraphicsThe banner isn't very well done. It's not as bad as some I've seen, but it's pretty low quality. I suggest having a professional online coder make one for you. The banner is a vital part to forums. It's the first thing people see when they come to your site and it often determines their interest of looking further. Ranking: 3/10 ---------------------------------------------- Skin:The skin;s too plain. Add some color and contrast to it. The boards are too close to the same shade and color as the background, and that could be catastrophic in certain circumstances. Whenever it comes to designing skins, these things are important to remember: 1. Backgrounds MUST contrast from the boards unless you have a good site border. Dark BG + Light boards or vice versa. 2. Depth! Depth is essential to the look of a forum, if it's all the same shade, lightness, or color, it will be boring. Choose a theme and stick with it. Then, use various shades of the colors in your them to give a shadowed, deep feel. Ranking: 4.5/10 ---------------------------------------------- Any additional information:I say this to most people, but add a welcome table. Many people won't understand what your site is about, so to draw people in, add a table under your menu welcoming them, explaining what your site is, and maybe showing a few snappy graphics and fun links. Overall:It needs a lot of work, but it could be a pretty sweet forum. Just work on the visual appeal and a bit of the content and you'll be on your way. I hope I helped! Ranking: 5/10
