Florida Championship Wrestling

Oh its real, it's damn real. We kick off a great episode of FCW with a Tag Team Title match and it is the current champions, Seth Rollins (who many might know as Tyler Black) and Richie Steamboat (Son of the legendary, Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat") against Los Aviadores, Hunico (who was Incognito) and Epico (who is/was Tito Colon). Los Aviadores are 2 time former FCW Tag Team Champions giving them a little bit of an advantage over the current champions; but in an epic encounter the current tag team champions retain their titles ending the match with a double superkick to the head of Hunico.

After an advertisement we have a backstage segment where the general manager of FCW, Maxine (who appeared on NXT season 3 if you remember) acting all close to FCW President, Steve Kerin to find out who his, "Presidential pick is for the 8 man tag team match" in the main event.

Xavier Woods (Consequences Creed from TNA) is up now and he is facing Michael Tarver (yes that guy from NXT season 1 and the original Nexus). Xavier Woods was the winner in what became a bit of a boring match. One of the most exciting parts in the match was actually when it looked like Woods had something because he hit a backdrop sending Tarver into the steel steps, which Tarver had already made available for use.

Raquel Diaz (Shaul Guerrero to everyone who knows) is talking to Jacob Novak who is in his, JTG style gear. He isn't the best speaker on the planet and this small interview/promo kind of bored me. He then points out William Regal who he had a match with on NXT. That happened because Regal made a comment about Novak which annoyed Jacob Novak.

Aksana is putting the FCW Divas Championship on the line against Naomi. Both again were on NXT season 3 and Naomi was the original FCW Divas Champion. Now to comment on this match is quite hard other than the fact Naomi is a pretty decent wrestler and I would prefer to see her on TV winning the real Divas Championship. Aksana got the steal of a victory due to Maxine pushing her so she was on top with the pinfall. AJ then comes out for the save as Aksana and Maxine were going for the beat down.

Team Maxine are, Connor O'Brian from NXT, Mason Ryan from The New Nexus and former FCW Heavyweight Champion, Damien Sandow and Lucky Cannon. Team Steve Kerin are Big E Langston, Leakee, Titus O'Neil who like many others appeared on NXT and is on the Redemption season right now. The final pick which is the Presidential pick is Mr. Florida but after previous episodes of FCW it is quite easy to notice that, FCW President, Steve Kerin chose Bo Rotundo who in the previous episode said he will be taking a few weeks off from FCW. In quite a decent match from the start it was Mr. Florida who in the end got the victory after a great spear (which looked like a gore). He then cleaned house and got rid of the rest of Team Maxine after the match had finished.

I'm not going to be giving FCW a rating but i will say it was a great show and should replace NXT as the talent are just the same. Plus talent who appear on Superstars could have special appearances.
