FCW TV

Commentators:  Jim Ross & Dusty Rhodes.  Ring announcer:  Caylee Turner.

Corey Graves & Jake Carter vs. Mike Dalton & C.J. Parker for the Tag Team Titles:  Dusty refers to someone named "Steven Regal" being in the main event...fire that man.  J.R. turns the tag team experience factor on its head, noting that the champs wouldn't have many Dalton/Parker tag matches to view for scouting purposes.  The challengers look good in the early going...the champs try to double up on Dalton but get sent to the floor by stereo dropkicks.  Stereo planchas hit...sounds like a good time for a commercial break.

A blind tag by Graves allows Carter to attack Parker from behind, finally putting the champs in command of the match.  C.J. escapes that predicament and makes the hot tag to Dalton...the house is on fire!  Dalton cleans house and hits Graves with a Lightning Spiral, but Carter pulls Dalton off the cover.  Parker baseball-slides Carter to take him out of the picture...but Graves catches a spinning heel kick to deliver a big sitout powerbomb!  Graves takes a second to cover...and only gets two.  Now it's Dalton in trouble...but dueling cross-bodyblocks leave both Dalton and Graves down.  Tags are made on both sides and C.J. Parker rallies, clotheslining Graves out of the ring.  He takes out Carter out with a huge jumping side kick and a double-knee in the corner...then a Strongbuster!  C.J. goes to the top rope...and nails the swandive headbutt!  Cover...only gets 2 1/2!  Dalton fends off Graves and Parker calls for the finish, but Carter shoves Parker into Dalton on the turnbuckles!  The referee occupies himself with untangling Dalton from the turnbuckles, allowing the champs to hit their Bottoms-Up finisher(double-team over-the-shoulder powerslam combo)...that gives Carter the three-count over Parker to retain the Tag Titles.

Audrey Marie vs. Paige Knight, no-DQ match:  J.R. jokes that he and Dusty have T-shirts larger than Caylee's dress...heh.  Audrey wastes no time in attacking...lots of hair-pulling(no-DQ!).  Paige takes advantage with her more aggressive style...Audrey fires up, but a missed dropkick puts a halt to that momentum.  Paige brings in a chair(no-DQ!) but Audrey kicks it away, then stands on the chair to stop her from using it...Marie catches Paige with a DDT out of nowhere and that's the ballgame.

S. William Regal vs. Dean Ambrose:  This main event gets a lot of buildup...Ambrose attacked Regal several months ago and the two clashed in the ring with Regal coming out on top.  Since that time, Ambrose continued to antagonize Regal...even adopting Regal's signature knee trembler and Regal Stretch to provoke him into a rematch.  Regal immediately targets the arm(an injury suffered in their previous encounter)...YAY WRESTLING~!  Dean tries to brawl his way into an advantage but Regal counters by getting a hold of the arm again...of course Regal has no problem with exchanging strikes.  Regal motions for Ambrose to get up...Dean responds that Regal would have to take the arm home with him to beat him.  Regal chickenwings him on the mat and Dean bites the arm(!) to escape...that fires up Regal as he delivers an exploder suplex.  The match spills out of the ring and Regal introduces the arm to the steel steps...Dusty notes that Regal hasn't really tried to pin Ambrose yet.  Regal traps the arm between the steps and the ringpost and kicks the steps, then steps on Dean's head as he climbs back up the steps...well done.  Regal responds to the official's protests by informing him that "I KNOW THE RULES!"  As the ref backs Regal off, Ambrose fiddles with one of the turnbuckle pads...

Regal continues his attack on the arm, but Ambrose finally gets a break by ramming him into the ringpost.  Regal is slow to re-enter the ring...meanwhile, Dean rams his own shoulder into the turnbuckle in an attempt to "fix" the damage.  Ambrose roughs up his veteran rival as J.R. notes that Regal has been an indirect mentor of sorts to Ambrose.  Regal still seems to be a bit dazed from the ringpost and Ambrose pummels him in the head...then Dean removes the bottom turnbuckle pad from earlier and knees him backwards into the exposed metal!  Regal is left with a bloody ear as the trainer checks on him...but Dean taunts him to keep fighting and Regal unloads with a forearm smash out of nowhere!  More refs enter the ring to check on BOTH men...the fans chant "let them fight" but the referee finally stops the match.  Ambrose flips out and abuses the referees...then some wrestlers try to restore order and Dean attacks them as well.  Ambrose attacks Regal again and locks him in the Regal Stretch...Dean appears to be lining him up for the knee trembler, but Regal rises slightly and applauds him!  Ambrose obliges and takes out Regal with the knee strike...finally the locker room empties to hold Ambrose back!  Dean breaks away from the crowd in an attempt to attack Regal again, but they finally escort him back to the dressing room...looks like that's how our final episode of FCW TV will end.

So long from the Sunshine State!
