Your hosts are Matt Martlaro & S. William Regal, your ring announcer is Howard Finkel.
Seth Rollins vs. Damien Sandow for the FCW 15 Title: Rollins has held the medallion for most of 2011...not bad in an era where title reigns come and go like the wind. Regal notes the athletic tape on Seth's shoulder from a previous injury...is he 100%? YAY WRESTLING~! to start as they keep it basic in the opening minutes...but an early collision stuns both men. At that point, Dean Ambrose comes out with popcorn and a drink to watch the matchup from the VIP section...heh. Sandow tries for a cheap rollup but Seth rolls through, sets up for Avada Kedavra but Damien bails out of the ring. Rollins takes out Sandow with a baseball slide but stops for some words with Ambrose, giving Damien an opportunity to recover...the referee finally decides to eject Dean from the ringside area. As the referee is otherwise occupied, Sandow kicks the rope between Rollins' legs on re-entry for an indirect low blow...he follows up with a semi-hanging version of his M-14 snap neckbreaker and scores the first fall at around the five-minute mark!
Sandow maintains control as Seth is still hurting from that close encounter with the middle rope...Damien starts to attack the bad shoulder on top of that. Rollins gets some one-armed offense going...but a springboard move attempt is countered by Sandow shoving him backwards to the floor! We hit the ten-minute mark as the champion is in dire straits...Sandow sets up for another M-14 on re-entry but Seth gets a desperation rollup to even the score!
Sandow is ticked and charges at his opponent, but Seth low-bridges him out of the ring...then follows up with a running dive through the ropes into a splash on the floor! Neither man is in good shape after that move...but Seth still gets Sandow back in the ring and covers...for two. Flatliner into the turnbuckles...for two. Three minutes to go...Rollins stays on offense and tries the springboard clothesline again, but Sandow counters into a Canadian Mapleleaf! Seth barely reaches the ropes but we've only got two minutes left. Sandow gets...the crossface chickenwing! Seth's shoulder is in bad shape but he still makes it to the ropes. One minute to go. Sandow climbs the ropes to try for another chickenwing but gets clocked with a jumping enzuigiri. Thirty seconds left...Seth hits the top-rope Frankensteiner and sets up for Avada Kedavra, but Dean runs back in and nails SANDOW. The referee calls for a DQ on Rollins due to the interference with mere seconds left on the clock...and the time expires with Sandow winning the title by a score of 2-1! Regal is cool with Sandow being the new champion but the method of victory doesn't sit well with him...Rollins is in disbelief.
Titus O'Neil & Percy Watson vs. Jinder Mahal & Rick Victor: Victor has trouble early but gets off a knee to Percy's gut...Mahal takes the opportunity to tag himself into the match. The heels don't appear to be on the same page but keep Watson on their side of the ring for a while. O'Neil finally gets a hot tag...the house is on fire and the dogs are barking! Victor clips the knee and goes for a tag...but Mahal walks away from the match and turns his back on the ring. So much for that team...and Victor turns around into the Clash Of Titus. 1-2-3.
Briley Pierce vs. Brad Maddox: Briley STILL works here and he's even wrestling! Martlaro notes that Pierce was once the cameraman for Maddox's short-lived "reality show"...in the meantime, Regal gets a cellphone call and has to leave the broadcast booth. YAY WRESTLING~! doesn't last long as Maddox brawls his way into an advantage...Maddox finishes in anticlimatic fashion with a quick Oklahoma roll.
Pierce isn't happy about the outcome and calls Brad back into the ring...are we getting an impromptu rematch? Looks like it as we get an opening bell...Briley gets off a dropkick to the knee, but Maddox rolls through a La Majistral cradle and kicks him in the gut. Maddox gets him in a three-quarter nelson(HOROWITZ~!) and pins him once again.
Eden Stiles joins Martlaro at the broadcast position...
Colin Cassady vs. Conor O'Brian(w/ Tito Colon, Kenneth Cameron, & Raquel Diaz): Cassady gets the "already in the ring" treatment which essentially seals his fate. Cassady is actually taller than O'Brian...but that doesn't matter as the multiple Ascension vignettes get more time than the actual match. Raquel appears to be on microphone as we hear her "encouragement" from ringside. The stablemates freak out at ringside for no real reason and O'Brian takes out Cassady with IT'S THE BIG FOOT for the easy victory.
Husky Harris vs. Richie Steamboat: Steamboat's been taking the side of Aksana Raudoniene in recent weeks which has put him on Husky's bad side. They start technical but that doesn't last long as it breaks down into a fight. The referee tries to separate the two but Steamboat throws him down...then Husky shoves him down as well. So much for THAT main event...General Manager Maxine Perez comes out with Regal and calls for a stop to the match. Maxine calls out referees and wrestlers to break up the fight...and Maxine gets knocked down in the chaos. Regal checks on Maxine as the brawl spills out of the ring with the wrestlers following them out. Dean Ambrose(among those attempting to restore order) suddenly gets a thought in his head...and attacks Regal! Regal starts fighting back and Ambrose goes into retreat mode...Maxine is hurting but has an odd smile on her face. Regal golf-claps for Dean's actions...heh.
So long from the Sunshine State!
