FCW TV

Your hosts are Matt Martlaro and Dusty Rhodes, your ring announcer is Eden Stiles.

Tag Team Champions Donny Marlow & C.J. Parker vs. Brad Maddox & Briley Pierce, non-title: Maddox gets the better of the opening exchange with Parker, then Briley enthusiastically tags himself in. They try a basic double-team as Pierce holds Parker for a double-axhandle off the top from Maddox...but C.J. pulls Pierce in the way of the shot. Ha ha. The heels finally get it together and isolate Marlow, focusing on the leg...but Briley misses a kneedrop and C.J. gets the hot tag! Parker seems more interested in bad-mouthing Maddox than focusing on Pierce, but he delivers a flying double-knee in the corner followed by a Regal Roll. Parker finishes at his leisure with a falling DDT and the champs emerge victorious. Maddox doesn't bother to make a save and seems...displeased. He helps his partner to his feet, then walks away as he flops back down to the mat. Heh.

Roman Leakee vs. Corey Graves(w/ Leah West): Interesting new pairing of Graves and West...we'll see if it's enough to put a dent in Leakee's momentum. Leah distracts the ref long enough for Graves to administer a major-league eye rake...in the meantime, Dusty has Martlaro positively befuddled up at the broadcast position. Leakee comes back with a unique version of the bulldog, then follows up with the Flying Jalapeno and Samoan Drop to get the duke.

Briley Pierce still works here and pulls double duty, interviewing Heavyweight Champion Leo Kruger. He says he'll take on all comers...and that brings out Abraham Washington to accept that proposition. Kruger says he's the only true African in FCW...um, okay.

General Manager Maxine Perez confers with Norman Smiley backstage...S. William Regal wants to be in the six-man tag tonight, but Maxine doesn't think that's a good idea "at his age". Hmm. Queen Aksana Raudoniene enters to protest Richie Steamboat's involvement in tonight's falls-count-anywhere main event, saying it's too dangerous and he should be getting title matches. Maxine says Richie could very well earn a title shot if he wins tonight...the two ladies hug and take turns looking DEVIOUS~! for the camera.

Kevin Hackman vs. Big E Langston: Hackman(aka Andy Leavine) won Tough Enough but he's got a tough test ahead of him tonight. Hackman gets some early offense but whiffs badly on a dropkick and Langston begins his domination. Hackman comes back with IT'S THE BIG FOOT and a sideslam but launches a Macho Elbow that hits nothing but canvas. Langston finishes in short order with the Big Ending. James Bronson suddenly appears at ringside and has a staredown with Langston...then enters the ring to attack Hackman! Bronson locks on the Death Wish 2(reverse armbreaker) and the referee brigade hits the ring to restrain him. Bronson knocks aside at least a couple of referees...that doesn't seem like a wise career move.

Seth Rollins, Johnny Curtis, & Derrick Bateman vs. FCW 15 Champion Damien Sandow, Dean Ambrose, & Antonio Cesaro: Quite a lineup of talent in this matchup. Regal wanted the third slot on the face team(presumably so he could get his hands on Ambrose again), but Maxine decided otherwise and put her boyfriend/fiancee in the spot. Rollins has major history with all three opponents. Curtis and Cesaro start...YAY WRESTLING~! Seth tags in, Cesaro tags out to Ambrose. Dean's shoulder is bandaged from his close encounter with Regal and the faces target the injury. Curtis gets caught in the wrong corner as Sandow enters the fray...Cesaro takes his eye off the ball to BOOT Rollins off the apron, but runs into a spinning heel kick from Curtis. Tag to Ambrose, tag to Bateman! Derrick cleans house and backdrops Dean out of the ring, then hiptosses Cesaro from the apron into the ring...where he eats a springboard clothesline from Rollins! Bateman clotheslines Antonio to the floor and Seth nails him with a suicide dive...then Curtis follows with a somersault dive off the top onto the heels! However, Bateman forgets who's legal and Ambrose nails him with a lariat, then measures him...for the knee trembler! Ambrose isn't done as he locks Bateman in the Regal Stretch, forcing Derrick to tap out! Looks like the Regal-Ambrose issue is far from over...

Husky Harris vs. Richie Steamboat, falls-count-anywhere match: The ring hasn't been able to contain this feud, so let's settle it like this. The nature of the gimmick match would seem to favor Husky but we'll see how it goes. The two are fairly tentative to start but hostilities boil over in a hurry...the referee isn't there to do much more than count a pin or acknowledge a submission/tapout. Husky tosses Steamboat to the floor but it's Richie that takes advantage, wrapping Husky's head up in the ring apron. Harris responds by introducing him to the steps and ringpost before getting a two-count on the floor. The fight travels beyond the guardrail to the interview area...Husky has control but Steamboat stops him with a low blow, covering for his own two-count. Richie throws Husky through the door and they take it outside...Steamboat reverses a whip into the wall and trash-talks him a bit, then goes for a trash can...but Husky throws dirt and gravel from the parking lot in Richie's face! Husky commandeers the trash can and bashes Steamboat across the back twice...that's enough for Husky to cover for the three-count!

After the match, a pickup truck pulls up to the combatants...Husky pulls down the tailgate and throws Steamboat in the back of the truck. Husky closes the tailgate and gets in the passenger side before the truck drives away...BUT WHO'S DRIVING?!?~!

So long from the Sunshine State!
