House show report:

Ziggler came to the ring to cut a promo and actually did a good job during his promo. He introduced Mason Ryan as an extra insurance policy and promised he would never lose again with his added insurance.

New push for ziggles?

Good work. I got 81/103. Felt like I could've gotten more, but the timer crept up on me. There were 2 names I thought of, but forgot to type.

Got 65 on Jakyl's. Would've liked it to have been a bit longer time limit I felt like I had a good amount of guesses left in me when the buzzer hit. Like I think it has as many unique entries as that other quiz had and that was 20 minutes.

Also amused that Skinner is ahead of 10 other guys (including the Miz) for guessed percentage.

This is probably because there were at least 10 fewer people to guess when I created it, maybe more, and I've never adjusted the time. I'll add 5 minutes.

Skinner probably has more guesses than Miz because Miz wasn't actually a correct answer when the quiz was originally created! He never actually had a PPV title shot until AFTER his reign ended.

Monthly PPVs started in 1995, so really he only spent 5 years pre-monthlies and 15 years in them.

Plus he was around for the first 8 years of the "two titles" era.

It really has more to do with ridiculous longevity than circumstance.

42 seems not TOO hard to surpass if you can be a consistent main event heel for 8 years or so.

Because of this series of Punk Tweets:

Amendment 1 is ridiculous. It's an invasion of people's rights. North Carolina, why do you care if somebody wants to marry who they love?

Same sex marriage should be legal. The fact that it's illegal is embarrassing.

Divorce rate is at least 50% between men and women, so don't give me the values angle.

Making same sex marriage illegal is the same as having segregated drinking fountains. Embarrassing. The human race is embarrassing. #evolve

FCW - March 11, 2012

I should probably make mention that they play a HYPE video every week before the show that recaps something very important for their main event. For instance, Mike Dalton won the Florida Heavyweight Title last week, so they hyped it up. Expect Mike Dalton in your main event.

Oh damnit, we only get Chris Russo and William Regal this week. Chris Russo is wearing a bow tie and glasses, so he's even more punchable. First up is Big E. Langston & Alexander Rusev vs CJ Parker & Jason Jordan.

Alright, soap box time. FCW absolutely SUCKS with tag teams. I do not understand it. They NEVER have any tag teams stick together unless they win the titles, and I don't get it. Big E. Langston was tag team partners with Nick Rogers. And even though Rogers sucked, they were a team that made some sense. CJ Parker used to team with Donny Marlow, but he went to WWE as Camacho, so now he's just teaming with Jason Jordan. Corey Graves was supposed to team with Eli Cottonwood, but then they through that out so he could team with... I don't even remember who, it's that bad. FCW needs to stick with their tag teams and roll with it. Oh, and take the titles off Bo Rotundo and Husky Harris. They don't need it. You have too many people in developmental right now. Stick with some tag teams, for the love of god.

ANYWAY, Regal talks about how Rusev would wrestle bulls. How badass of him. lmao Chris Russo saying that Big E. Langston of all people has good tips and advice for Alexander Rusev. However, Langston and Rusev are actually a good team, surprisingly. They keep putting over Rusev as one of the most badass men to live. I love this. It's funny. There is nothing positive about CJ Parker and all they've said about Jordan is "This guy was an amateur wrestler." Jason Jordan has a really nice dropkick. I will not say anything positive about CJ Parker though. Rusev nails a very nice spinning side slam on CJ, but then he goes to the middle rope and attempts a splash. Whyyyy? Then it ends with a roll up from CJ onto Rusev. Whyyyyyyy? I don't get this.

Kenneth Cameron vs Byron Saxton. Oh, that's why we don't have Saxton commentary! Kenneth Cameron had more dark shenanigans with his sweet ass entrance, btw. Wait, Saxton still has a sling on and has a mic, looking very sad. He is very sorry and was informed that his shoulder has not completely healed and he can't compete tonight! He said that he is upset like Cameron is because he really wanted to compete! So he found a suitable replacement for Kenneth Cameron to make it up to him... Colin Cassady. XD Oh god, not this giant jobber. ...Oh my god, he dyed his hard lighter and gave himself baby blue trunks. Jesus f***ing Christ, I want him dead now.

Kenneth Cameron vs Colin Cassady. Cassady has actually improved a bit. But only a little bit. Towards the end of the match, Saxton got on the apron and took off his sling, then he smashed Kenneth in the back of the head with his bad arm. Colin then nailed Kenneth with a big boot for the win. Well, there goes Kenneth Cameron having the longest winning streak in FCW!

Next is Sofia Cortes vs Audrey Marie. OMG AUDREY SO HOT. Anyway, Diva's match. It ends when Audrey nails a nice looking Spinning Side Slam (hey, I saw this before) and picks up the win. After the match, Raquel Diaz comes out with Paige (who, I should have mentioned, Regal refers to as "That enchanting raven haired lady each time she's around). Sofia grabs Audrey's legs and they beat up Audrey for a while until Kaitlyn comes in for the save.

And hey, lookit that. It's Chris Hero aka Kassius Ohno! He isn't the best on the mic. He says that he won't be in FCW for long (welp) and that he loves to concuss with his elbows and knock out with his feet. He says anyone can win with a lucky submission or end a match with a quick roll up, but it takes a man with real power to knock another man out. So next week, the FCW Universe will be saying "It's Kassius.... Oh no." GET IT? Eh, it was a pretty good promo. I guess I expected more?

Steve Keirn is coming out to the ring with Norman Smiley. Steve Keirn asks Maxine to come out, who is always hot as hell. Keirn says that Maxine getting everyone to go talk to Dr. James Bronson for a psych evaluation was dumb and an invasion of privacy, but Maxine says that she was told to do that by the higher ups. So Maxine has to give back all of the notes that Bronson had taken. Keirn has something else to say, but Norman Smiley wants to say it instead. He says "You're fired! So you can leave!" and then he does the Big Wiggle. Maxine doesn't seem too upset. I'm actually okay with this since she's on NXT getting plenty of time and they should move on past her and set up something else. Curious to see who gets put in the GM spot next.

Anyway, next up is Mike Dalton (c) vs Leo Kruger for the Florida Heavyweight Championship. Regal talks about how Leo Kruger was trained by the great Donny Grits. No idea who that is, and he doesn't even have a Wikipedia page. Regal, however, states that he's the best wrestler he's ever seen and doesn't know why he never made it to the states. Interesting. It's a very good match that ends when Leo Kruger locks on two Rear Naked Chokes to knock out Mike Dalton. Leo Kruger is our new Florida Heavyweight Champion... again. That's a slight bummer. Why do that to poor Dalton?

Highlights:

Kassius Ohno (Chris Hero) Promo -

Mike Dalton vs Leo Kruger -

Not the best show, but we still had a Kassius Ohno debut promo and then another Mike Dalton vs Leo Kruger match. So check it.

This IS better than that though. Gay Marriage is illegal in Kentucky, but if you say go get married somewhere else you are still wed. However, NC is trying to make it so even if you go to Maine, and come back, your "marriage" is null and void at that time.

FCW - March 18, 2012

We have Chris Russo and William Regal on commentary again.

First up is Dante Dash vs James Bronson. I like Dante Dash because he has a nice swagger to him. He has a weird pose where he makes a rectangle with both of his hands. I don't get it. But he's cool in my book. Bronson comes out in a torn hoodie all MMA style and looks like a complete badass giving Dante a thumbs down as he enters the ring. Both of these guys are doing great. This is a relative squash match though, and Bronson starts screaming "It's not your fault, Dante!" repeatedly as he proceeds to lock in a cobra clutch with a body scissors to win. Bronson's a bit nuts.

Leo Kruger gets the mic again, unfortunately. He is so bad on the mic. Basically, he said Dalton's win was a fluke, he's champion again, and he's the WOCKING TOCKING LIVING BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREATHING MAIN EVENT AND FLO-RY-DA HEAVYWEIGHT CHUMPIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON. He's bad on the mic.

Anyway, next up is Kaitlyn & Audrey (so f***ing hot) vs Paige & Sofia Cortez. Paige's theme is actually really kick ass. Grunge-y. And just so you guys know what Paige looks like, here:



Yeah, not the prettiest, but still. Paige is insane though. Screaming at the ref and just being vicious. Woah, Paige locks in some kind of inverted Sharpshooter where she's standing facing the opponent and cranking on the pressure to her legs. And then the uses one arm to life Audrey Marie off the mat and stretch her while still keeping the leg lock applied. Wowza. Audrey gets the hot tag, and Kaitlyn comes in to clean house. She then hits a Bubba Bomb on Paige and locks in that submission where she sits back and locks her opponent's arms with her legs. I dunno what it's called, but Paige taps to it. After the match, Paige and Sofia attack Audrey and Kaitlyn. Caylee Turner then comes in and gets involved. And then Raquel gets involved. And then the faces pull it off.

Next is a backstage segment where the little midget guy that hangs around Summer Rae talks to a very English (like, very very English) guy called... Aiden English. James Bronson then comes by, grabbing the midget by the lapel and says that this is his fault and that he'll pay. Then he shoves Aiden away when he tries to interfere.



See? Incredibly English.

Next up is Xavier Woods (wearing sparkling blue tights) vs Kassius Ohno. Oh no! Basically, it's a very good match. Want to know why? Because of Xavier Woods, not because of Kassius Ohno. Honestly, I'm not impressed by Chris Hero here. I think he needs a lot of work to really do well with the WWE style. He's just horribly vanilla at this point and not that interesting to watch right now. Xavier Woods is always a classic though. Anyway, the match ends with a surprise elbow strike from Kassius knocks Xavier out, letting Ohno get the three count. I'll make this one of the highlights, if only to verify if I'm right about this or not.

God damnit, they gave Raquel Diaz a mic again. She's not entertaining, she's not an effective heel, she's just an annoying, untalented b**** who can't act. She's so stupid. Everything she says is terrible. She talks s*** on Audrey Marie, and Audrey ambushes her and attacks her. They fight until referees split them up.

--

Down with Zhang. Let there be Biscuit!

And then there's the new General Manager of FCW, Summer Rae, there talking with Corey Graves and Jake Carter and saying she's glad they could join her organization. Apparently her midget friend is named Naylor. Maxine comes in and gets all up in Summer's face and says she's not done with her. And then she slaps Naylor and walks out. He whines about it like a b****. So about Jake Carter. He's Vader's son! He's got a punk-like gimmick and I don't know much about him. He isn't fat or anything. He's just... well, a regular dude from the looks of it. We'll see how he does when we see his debut.

And now is our main event: Richie Steamboat (c) vs Antonio Cesaro for the 15 Championship. This match is great. Antonio Cesaro throws Richie into the turnbuckle post and then nails a German Suplex with the bridge for a three count! 0-1 at 11 minutes. Eventually, Cesaro tries going for a top rope Gutwrench Suplex twice! He gets it the second time, but Richie swings out of it and nails a sitout powerbomb on Cesaro for the three count! 1-1 with 3 minutes. Cesaro says he needs a time out. lol He was goading Richie in to hit a dropkick, but Steamboat sidesteps! They both end up doing a long series of attempted quick falls, with Cesaro even cheating to try and get some. Cesaro attacks Richie from behind after it. He takes the 15 Title and kisses it a few times, then turns around right into a super kick from Richie. Hahaha. Great match.

Highlights:

Xavier Woods vs Kassius Ohno -

Richie Steamboat vs Antonio Cesaro -

Well, you should all check out Chris Hero's debut match. And see why Xavier Woods is much better than him at the WWE style at this point. And then Richie Steamboat vs Antonio Cesaro was a great match. Worth checking out.

Honestly, post kings of wrestling he kinda got lazier it seemed. Flabbier, not as tight in the ring either. And the whole knockout kid gimmick is one I never was a big fan of, though he got much better at it over time. It definitely is the wwe style, but I don't think he's as good now as he was last year. Give him a month and he'll be fine.

One thing I find that seperates the indie guys like Punk and D-Bryan and those who failed to make it in the WWE.

Is their ability to have matches matter in 9 mins. Of course in indie matches where you have a lot of time you can do more, but doing more with less is a skill that i think Punk and D-bryan deserve more praise for.

shows their willingness and ability to adapt.

He was a lot flabbier before KoW too. He credits Claudio with actually getting him in shape since they'd go to the gym together and he'd have to work harder than he usually does to keep up.

I guess no Claudio means less workout motivation!
