Your hosts are Matt Martlaro & S. William Regal. Regal notes that Norman Smiley is injured and won't be able to fulfill his duties as General Manager, so Maxine Perez is now the sole G.M. of FCW...funny how that worked out. Your ring announcer is Sonia Yung.
Seth Rollins vs. Dean Ambrose for the FCW 15 Title, twenty-minute time limit: Their previous encounter went to a zero-to-zero draw, so they extended the time limit for this one. Seth comes out and immediately tries to pull Ambrose to the floor, then yanks him into the ring to kick-start the matchup. They brawl on the floor and Rollins gives him the ringside tour, sending Dean into the ring apron and steps before they finally get back between the ropes. Seth controls the action, looking to dish out retribution for Dean's previous disrespect of the championship. Ambrose is able to turn the tide, then shoulderblocks Rollins off the apron to send him flying into the guardrail. Good time for an ad break!
Ambrose has command of the matchup for several minutes...the five-minute mark passes with no falls exchanged. Seth floats over to land on top of a back suplex attempt, scoring a quickie near-fall...but a climb to the top rope is cut off by Ambrose. Superplex...hits! Another commercial break?...
We're back and past the ten-minute mark...still 0-0. Rollins fires off a jumping enzuigiri out of nowhere, leaving both men down. El Big Comeback by Seth...Flatliner into the turnbuckles! Advanced Curbstomp misses and Dean goes for the Midnight Special, but Seth escapes the move with a sunset flip...for two. Backslide...for two. Dean's attempted O'Connor Roll is blocked, but he avoids a springboard move by Rollins and kicks out the leg. Ambrose suddenly zeroes in on the leg, tying it up on the middle rope and delivering a running dropkick to the leg. Dragonscrew legwhip sets up a figure-four leglock in the middle of the ring...Seth's in big trouble as Dean bridges to add pressure to the hold. Rollins is able to reverse the hold and now the pressure is reversed, but Dean turns it back around...Seth barely reaches the ropes to escape.
Fifteen minutes have passed and we STILL have no falls...another figure-four attempt is countered into a small package by Seth...for two. Seth kicks him away with another enzuigiri, then desperately covers...for two. Regal notes the presence of Prince Iaueka in the crowd, saying he battled him over the WCW T.V. Title in the past...and he's in awe of the matchup as well. Ambrose makes the mistake of climbing the turnbuckles to pummel a cornered Rollins...Seth powers out and delivers a turnbuckle powerbomb! Avada Kedavra...no, Dean levels him with a lariat! Midnight Special...HITS! Cover...for 2 1/2! Three minutes to go!
Seth escapes another Midnight Special attempt...flash rollup attempt is rolled through by Ambrose, but Seth nails him with Avada Kedavra! However, Ambrose falls through the ropes and Seth has to bring him back in the ring. Cover...Dean gets a foot on the rope. Cover again..hand on the rope! Seth pulls him to mid-ring to cover this time...for 2 1/2! Two minutes to go. Rollins goes to the top rope for a moonsault but Ambrose shoves him to the floor and he hits the guardrail! Dean follows him out and dumps him on the broadcast table as the clock ticks down...he teases a Midnight Special on the table but Seth fights out and they brawl on top of the table until they both collapse to the floor as the clock runs out! It's another 0-0 draw!
(Footnote: It's worth noting that this match was taped on the SAME NIGHT as the previous encounter.) Regal has high praise for the match and the competitors, saying they're setting a new standard in wrestling...well said.
Richie Steamboat vs. Brad Maddox: Steamboat has had issues with Maddox in recent weeks...Maddox scored a cheap win over him and gloated about it to no end, leading to Richie shutting him up with a superkick. Maddox enters in street clothes and flanked by two unnamed bodyguards...he complains that he suffered a concussion from that dastardly unprovoked attack and isn't cleared to compete. Steamboat gets sick of Maddox's trash-talking and levels him with ANOTHER superkick, then kicks down one of the bodyguards for good measure. The other bodyguard stares down Steamboat, but Richie grabs the microphone and says the other bodyguard gets to carry them out. However, that last man standing goes to check on his boss and eats a superkick anyway...hah!
Briley Pierce still works here and he interviews new Tag Team Champions Donny Marlow & C.J. Parker. They're still in celebratory mode, but they're ready to take on all challengers.
Earlier today: Martlaro interviewed Ricardo Rodriguez and his new entourage: Conor O'Brian, Tito Colon, Kenneth Cameron, & Raquel Diaz. Ricardo claims that Alberto Del Rio actually works for HIM, not the other way around, and he claims all the credit for Del Rio's success. Hmm. Ricardo dubs the group "Ascension" and vows they'll make an impact in both FCW and WWE.
Heavyweight Champion Bo Rotundo vs. Leo Kruger, non-title lumberjack^H^H^Hhuman cage match: Regal puts over last week's match ending in a big way...Bo wants revenge but he might be concerned about falling victim to the sleeperhold once again. Kruger's the first to involuntarily leave the ring as Bo backdrops him over the ropes, but it's on the heel side and the lumberjacks return him to the ring without incident. Rotundo sends Kruger out on the face side, but they're sportsmen so they do the same as their counterparts. Kruger delivers a shinbuster out of nowhere and focuses his attack on the champion's leg. Martlaro condemns Kruger's actions last week, saying he could have won the title if he hadn't gotten disqualified...Regal says that wrestling needs "bad guys" and things would be boring otherwise. Kruger throws Rotundo out on the heel side...notably Bo throws the first punch at Conor O'Brian and gets back in the ring on his own accord. That seemed to fire up the champion, but Kruger takes out the leg once again.
The match degenerates into a slugfest until Kruger dropkicks the leg, staying on the bad limb. Martlaro points out that Rotundo may have trouble delivering the spear with a bad leg...psychology~! Bo holds himself up on the ropes to fire back, but Leo delivers a FOOT DDT~! and rips off the kneepad to increase the damage. Spinning toehold(OLDSCHOOL~!) but Bo kicks Kruger off and out of the ring...to the heel side. This leads to an argument on the floor as the heels are giving him time to recover...but while the referee is sorting this out, O'Brian jumps in the ring and levels Rotundo with IT'S THE BIG FOOT! Well, Bo shouldn't have taken the first shot earlier. Leo re-enters the ring and grabs the barely-conscious Rotundo in the sleeperhold...and that's enough to score the victory for Kruger in this non-title matchup!
The faces check on Rotundo as the commentators wonder if Kruger's earned himself another title shot...I'd say that's a safe bet. So long from the Sunshine State!

FCW TV 8/21
Earlier today: Leo Kruger cut a promo in front of Bo Rotundo's Heavyweight Championship banner, vowing to earn his own banner tonight.
Your hosts are Matt Martlaro & S. William Regal, your ring announcer is Sonia Yung.
Calvin Raines & Big E Langston vs. Donny Marlow & C.J. Parker for the Tag Team Titles: Big episode ahead as the tag belts are on the line...Marlow has challenged for the belts with several different partners, including Brodus Clay and Roman Leakee. Parker is making his FCW debut...I had seen him in the Midwest scene under the name of Juice Robinson. Martlaro adds the names of Jimmy Uso and Derrick Bateman to Marlow's previous partners. Regal says the rookie Parker could use a few scars and might look better with a broken nose...heh. The challengers manage to double-suplex Langston in the early going...but Parker makes the mistake of trying to match power with Big E and eats clothesline as a result. The champs isolate Parker for several minutes...but a double-team backfires and Parker finally maneuvers into a tag to Marlow! The grass hut is afire and Marlow hits the Samoan Drop on Raines, but Langston breaks up the pin. Parker dropkicks Big E but gets bashed out of the ring...but Big E takes a Samoan Drop from Marlow as well. Raines recovers, but Marlow reverses into a backslide out of nowhere for the flash pin to capture the Tag Team Titles!
Briley Pierce still works here and he has his own segment, On The Box. Sounds like a standard gossip segment...he's not as easy on the eyes as Jenny Cash, I must say. He does have some interesting gossip about Heavyweight Champion Bo Rotundo getting cozy with Women's Champion Aksana Raudoniene recently, complete with footage. He teases more gossip relating to Regal and Maxine Perez, but we're outta time...
Roman Leakee vs. James Bronson(w/ Byron Saxton): Regal's cellphone rings in the middle of the matchup...hmm, wonder who that is. Regal leaves the broadcast position to take the call, leaving Martlaro to fly solo for a moment before Saxton decides to fill the vacant commentary spot. Bronson dominates and THE STRAPS COME DOWN...meanwhile, Saxton notes that Leakee teamed with Titus O'Neil not too long ago so they're getting some payback for that. Bronson hits the ropes to finish, but Leakee delivers a Flying Jalapeno out of NOWHERE and gets the pin. Leakee glares at Saxton who simply sits back down with a smug look on his face...
Briley Pierce still works here and he interviews Dean Ambrose. Ambrose says Seth doesn't deserve the championship since he didn't beat him last week...and the words are finally too much as Seth runs out to attack Ambrose! Security arrives to hold Dean back, but Seth dives off the top rope, taking out the security guards! Ambrose levels Rollins at ringside and rams him into the metal entranceway, trash-talking him while he's down...
Kevin Hackman vs. Mac Hetfield: Hackman might be better known to WWE viewers as Tough Enough winner Andy Leavine. Hetfield interrupts the introduction to trash his opposition...we've see how well that works for him. SILENT RAGE~! Hetfield makes a good showing...I believe this is the FCW TV debut for both guys. Hackman floors Hetfield with IT'S THE BIG FOOT out of nowhere to get the duke...good for him.
Bo Rotundo vs. Leo Kruger for the Heavyweight Title: Martlaro notes that we've already seen one title change tonight...will we see another? A quick shot of the backstage area shows Aksana giving Rotundo a good-luck hug...hmm. Saxton makes a good point, noting that the champion by definition has a more grueling schedule so Kruger may be the better-rested of the two. YAY WRESTLING~! to start...Martlaro notes the significance of the championship banners as one of them features Kruger's South African compatriot Justin Gabriel. Martlaro notes that Kruger defeated Gabriel WITH A BROKEN FREAKIN' NECK~!
Another glimpse backstage shows Ricardo Rodriguez hanging out with his new crew of Conor O'Brian, Tito Colon, and Raquel Diaz...Kenneth Cameron seems to be absent. Meanwhile in the ring, Kruger takes command when the battle spills out of the ring...the two fight on the apron and Kruger delivers a sick DDT onto the edge of the ring! Thankfully, Rotundo gets a commercial break to recover...
Kruger keeps his offensive focus on the head and neck of the champion, as Byron notes...I miss Byron on commentary. Admittedly, wrestling commentators fall into two categories for me these days: "Michael Cole" and "Tolerable". Bo fights out of a superplex attempt, but Kruger pops up from the mat to deliver the move anyway! Cover...gets two. Kruger pummels Bo with European uppercuts...Rotundo tries a desperation backslide but Kruger uses the ropes to block and levels Bo with a forearm. Kruger grabs a front-facelock but Rotundo backdrops his way out of it, then delivers a trio of jawbreakers...corner clothesline, Bo-Dog...two-count. Bo sets up for the spear but Leo sidesteps and Rotundo painfully sails through the ropes to the floor!
Leo pulls Rotundo back up to the apron but the champ's still got a lot of fight in him...however, Kruger grabs Bo in a sleeperhold! Kruger pulls Bo over the ropes, but Bo's feet are still hung up on the ropes and the referee calls for the disqualification at the five-count! Rotundo wins by DQ and retains the title, but Co-General Manager Norman Smiley comes out to order Kruger to release the hold. Kruger obliges...only to grab Smiley in the sleeperhold! Co-General Manager Maxine Perez enters with Regal in tow, ordering Kruger to release Smiley or be suspended. Kruger releases the hold...the referees hit the ring to check on both Rotundo and Smiley as we close the show.
Next week: Seth Rollins vs. Dean Ambrose for the FCW 15 Title...with a twenty-minute time limit! So long from the Sunshine State!

Next week: Seth Rollins vs. Dean Ambrose for the FCW 15 Title...with a twenty-minute time limit! So long from the Sunshine State!
FCW TV 8/14
We start with a feud recap for our main event...it's episode #150!
Your hosts are Matt Martlaro & S. William Regal. We're told that Women's Champion Aksana Raudoniene has been suspended for refusing to compete a few weeks ago. She has NOT been "stripped" as Regal suggests...HA HA, double entendre! Your ring announcer is Sonia Yung.
Heavyweight Champion Bo Rotundo & Husky Harris vs. Lucky Cannon & Damien Sandow: Quite a way to kick off the program. It's worth noting that Bo and Husky were once FCW Tag Team Champions(when Husky was still known as Duke Rotundo). Bo and Damien set the tone by slugging it out right away...but the heel team works together well enough to lure Husky into the wrong part of town. Harris finally kicks Sandow away and makes the hot tag to his brother...the house is on fire! Bo-Dog is blocked but Rotundo gets an O'Connor Roll...for two, and Bo goes with the momentum of the kickout to spear an incoming Sandow! Lucky swings and misses with a clothesline and Rotundo comes off the ropes with another spear to finish off Cannon!
Kenneth Cameron vs. Brad Maddox: Maddox takes the opportunity to gloat about beating Richie Steamboat in a recent triple threat. Brad jokes about being a "lowly first-generation superstar" and still beating someone with Richie's family ties. However, Maddox spends a bit too much time talking and doesn't notice Steamboat's arrival in the ring...he turns around just in time to eat a superkick! Guess this match isn't happening...
Briley Pierce interviews Leo Kruger...he gets his shot at Bo Rotundo's Heavyweight Title next week.
Derrick Bateman vs. Hunico: This was taped long enough ago that Bateman SEEMS to still be a face...meanwhile, Hunico's rocking the evil goatee. Hmm. Fast-paced exchange to start...Bateman offers a handshake and Hunico slaps the hand away. Uh-oh. Bateman gains an advantage and dropkicks Hunico out of the ring, but the luchador retreats when he sees Bateman setting up for a dive. Back in the ring, Hunico sends Bateman into the turnbuckles with a yank of the tights to gain control. Quick shot of the backstage area sees an interesting group watching the monitor: Conor O'Brian, Tito Colon, Ricardo Rodriguez, Kenneth Cameron, and Raquel Diaz. Hunico continues to show "more aggression" in the matchup...but a slingshot swanton hits the knees and Bateman makes the comeback. IED(corner dropkick) and somersault neckbreaker...get two. Exploder suplex sends Hunico to the floor and the luchador tries to stall on the ropes...Hunico kinda whiffs on the aerial move, oops. Bateman attempts to yank him off the ropes but Hunico falls on top and gets the three-count(couldn't tell if a pull of the tights was involved, but Bateman seems to think so).
Earlier today: President Steve Keirn decided that there should be co-General Managers, Norman Smiley and Maxine Perez(w/ Regal). Keirn has some sort of footage that Regal is very hesitant to watch...
Seth Rollins vs. Dean Ambrose for the FCW 15 Title: Ambrose had barely gotten through the door before he started challenging Rollins...now they finally meet. El Big Staredown and feeling-out to start...Ambrose yanks the hair a few times so Seth pulls his hair in retaliation. They trade slaps to the face as tempers flare...Dean goes for the Midnight Special(Air Raid Crash) early but Seth escapes that predicament, sets up for an early Avada Kedavra attempt and Ambrose bails to the floor. Suicide dive...is met by a big forearm from the floor by Ambrose! Dean re-enters the ring and covers for a quick two-count...darn those commercial breaks.
Five minutes are down with no falls exchanged...Ambrose hits a Union Jack neckbreaker(Regal approves) for another near-fall. Seth stops him with a Flatliner into the turnbuckles...then hits a high-speed hanging Ego Trip neckbreaker...for two. Advanced Curbstomp...for two. Lionsault misses but Seth lands on his feet...mid-ring collision caues Dean to fall through the ropes, but he re-enters before Rollins can dive onto him. Dean elbows him off the ropes, but Seth clotheslines Dean to the floor and finally connects with the somersault plancha!
Back into the ring, Seth covers...for two. The two fights on the apron and Rollins nails the springboard clothesline...for two. Avada Kedavra is blocked and Ambrose delivers an atomic facebuster...for 2 1/2! Ten minutes down, five to go...Midnight Special is escaped, they trade waistlocks...jumping enzuigiri by Seth! Cover...for two. Rollins goes to the top but gets cut off...Dean delivers a series of back rakes before they fight for a superplex, causing Rollins to back-rake him right back. Rollins tries for the sunset bomb but Dean fights out of it...he sets himself up on the second turnbuckle but takes another jumping enzuigiri. Top-rope Frankensteiner by Seth...but Dean rolls through into a sunset flip...for 2 1/2! We hit the thirteen-minute mark as Dean tries to use the kickout momentum for a Boston crab, but Seth victory-rolls him...for two. They slug it out in mid-ring and Seth fires up with forearms and a spinkick to the gut...mutual clotheslines and they're both down!
One minute to go...both guys try to collect themselves, then go back to exchanging strikes in the middle of the ring! The match degenerates into a brawl and the time runs out with no falls scored! The fans want five more minutes and I approve...Seth is announced as still being the champion, but Ambrose grabs the medallion and tosses it out of the ring before leaving the arena.

Comedy Part 389: Last Saturday Night
Location: Grove Deli
Emcee: Charlie Winfrey
After: Ben Flug
Before: Eddy Clark
Hadn't been out to the Deli in a few weeks...probably didn't prepare enough for a longer set but had a few new jokes that I wanted to try out. Some need a little more substance to them and I need to write them out. J.C. Sibala bought me a shot before the show since my birthday is on Tuesday...didn't affect my performance as far as I could tell, just forgot a bunch of stuff like I usually do. :P I should eat more at home before going to comedy shows so I'm not spending my "spare" funds on random culinary indulgences...that being said, the sandwiches are very good there. Fun show, good times, Charlie flirted with the waitress loudly and in great detail after the show...it was one of those nights.
