Tigerkinney Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 [B]O.O.C Note:[/B] Between the fact that Batalla Final will be an epic show and the fact that I've got a few non TEW related things to do, over the next few days...the next show will probably be up Sunday, could even be Monday, so there will be plenty of time for you to get in predictions/depart with your wisdom on all things FCW.

Bigpapa42 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 [B][U]FCW Batalla Final 2010[/U][/B] [B]Undisputed Championship[/B]: [B][COLOR=Red]J.D Morgan[/COLOR][/B] vs Billy Russell [I]Could Russell take the title on his debut? He should have the popularity in PR to make it possible. The skills, too. A good build to him taking the title seems a better idea, so my guess is that Morgan retains in some manner. Perhaps a disqualification, at the hands of Daniels... Could set up a three-way feud between Morgan, Russell, and Daniels...[/I] [B]People's Championship[/B]: Dean Daniels vs Angel De Mexico vs [B][COLOR=Red]Darryl Devine[/COLOR][/B] [I]Could see any number of directions for this one. Devine takes the belt in something of a youth movement. Especially if Daniels is going to get a real push towards the Undisputed. [/I] [B]Grudge Match[/B]: [B][COLOR=Red]Ultimate Phoenix[/COLOR][/B] vs Phoenix Negra [I]I'm not convinced whether Negra is someone worth pushing or if he's just a storyline to build up Ultimate. I'll go the same route and assume the latter.[/I] [B]Six Man Battle[/B]: UNITY vs [B][COLOR=Red]Wave of Violence[/COLOR][/B] [I]Just based on the presence of Da Power.[/I] [B]Tag Team Championship[/B]: Animal Magic vs [B][COLOR=Red]Heat Magnets[/COLOR][/B] [I]Kept going back and forth on this one. Gonna go with the Magnets, just for the change of the straps. [/I] Steve Flash vs [B][COLOR=Red]Bulldozer Brandon Smith[/COLOR][/B] [I]Is the vet going to do the job? Gotta keep the big bully strong...[/I] [B][COLOR=Red]The Ring Generals[/COLOR][/B] vs Totally Einstein [I]The Generals are pushable, and Einstein is having problems. I'm going with the Muppets on this one...[/I] Jared Johnson vs [B][COLOR=Red]Mr Electricity[/COLOR][/B] [I]Is it time to push Johnson yet? I'm guessing not quite, so going with the veteran.

[COLOR=indigo][B]Billy Russell:[/B] To be honest, I was unsure about coming back, I mean what is in it for me but then it occured to me, that whilst I may be one of the most succesful MMA fighters and wrestlers to ever come from Puerto Rico, very few of my fans from my home country have seen me live and in person.

The match started out with Masked Cougar and Matt Hocking, with Cougar getting the better of the exchanges and tagging in Fox Mask. Animal Magic then engaged in some neat double teams but were unable to put Hocking away, who was able to avoid and attempt at the Last Hunt, before landing a double drop-kick on both of them tag champs to get the tag into Arthur Dexter Bradley. ADB 'cleaned house' before getting a two count with a running STO on Fox Mask . ADB then brought Fox Mask into the Heat Magnets corner, as it became their turn to take control of the match. The Magnets landed the 2 Hot 2 Handle (Double lifting DDT) but Cougar dived in at the last split second to make the save and when ADB went for the Superstar Splash, Fox Mask was able to roll out of the way and then blast Hocking with an Enziguri getting the tag into Masked Cougar. Cougar knocked Hocking out of the ring with a Cougar Pounce, before turning his attention to ADB, who he planted into the mat with the I AM COUGAR, HEAR ME ROAR !! ....however Hocking had managed to recover from the Pounce (as Cougar did not quite Hocking with the intended impact)....diving off the top turnbuckle to spike Hocking into the mat with the SHOCK DROP ! Fox Mask then blasted Hocking with Fox Hunter, only for ADB to nail Fox Mask with a drop-kick as all four men ended up down in the ring. ADB then turned his attention back to Fox Mask, nailing the diminutive high flier with a spin-kick and then lifting Fox Mask up in readiness for the Cool Dee Tee but Fox Mask slid off and then sent ADB back out of the ring with a standing drop-kick. Matt Hocking then climbed the top turnbuckle but was cut off by Masked Cougar, who was soon joined by Fox Mask to send Hocking crashing back in with the assisted Fox Flip Off DDT. Cougar then made the cover as Fox Mask, stood guard to ensure a succesful first title defence for Animal Magic. A solid enough Tag Title match, the storyline was formulaic as is often the case with FCW Tag matches but the quality of the action itself was enough to hold the crowd's attention. [B][COLOR=red]Result: Animal Magic defeated Heat Magnets in 9:48 when Masked Cougar defeated Matt Hocking by pinfall. [/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=purple]Animal Magic retain the FCW Tag Team titles.

This time the electric disco dancer prances up the entrance ramp to 'The Hustle' by Van McCoy[I] (Do the Hustle !)[/I] this is in stark contrast to the generic rock song that Johnson runs out to. Johnson looks someone with a point to prove, and catches Mr Electricity a little off guard, pressing the match in the early going until 'the electric one' drops out of the ring for a powder. Johnson a little too keen, falls for the tactic and gets put down with a clothesline on the outside. Mr Electricity then slows the pace down on the inside, as he looked to methodically wear down thr youngster. A powerbomb followed by a folding press lead to a two count, before he set up for his finisher the Lightnin' Rod but Johnson had it scouted, working his way out of the move and then blasting Electricity with a standing drop-kick. Electricity then stumbled into the MDK Power Bomb from Johnson. Luckily for the flamboyant disco dancer he landed near the ropes and managed to save himself from certain defeat. Electricity then took control with an eye poke, before putting Johnson down with a running lariat, only for Johnson to get right back up and take Electricity down with a leg-sweep....Johnson then tried to lock on the Carolina Cross-Face but Electricity managed to squirm his way out of it. What followed was an exchange of quick pin attempts by either man until Electricity, was able to get Johnson is a back slide, and was in position to use the ropes for leverage to pick up the victory, as Double J found himself outmanouevred once again despite another spirited effort. This did it's job as mid-card filler, the crowd were fully behind Johnson throughout the match, however he showed his frustration at losing yet again by kicking one of the advertising hoardings and avoiding high fives with the fans as he walked back up the entrance ramp looking dejected.

The early going is all BBS, however things turn around when BBS misses a running clothesline, with Flash then planting the misogynystic bully into the mat with a running bull-dog. BBS powers his way out of the subsequent pin attempt and then regains control with a fore-arm smash, before setting Flash up for a German Suplex but Flash elbows his way out and then takes BBS down with a snap neckbreaker. Flash then takes control of BBS legs, eventually putting them in position for a Boston Crab, Flash leans back but BBS powers up to his feet, and catches Flash with a knee strike, before whipping Flash into the ropes and taking the veteran down with a running clothesline. BBS then lifts Flash up after a two count, and sets up for the Backdrop Driver but Flash elbows his way out again, Flash then stuns BBS with a jawbreaker.....before drilling the big man in the kisser with superkick. That earns Flash a two count, who then goes to follow up only for a frustrated BBS roll out of the ring. Flash waits for BBS to get back in and then goes for the Flash Bang but BBS has it scouted, moving out of the way at the last split second and then drilling Flash with a roaring elbow. BBS then picks up a dazed Flash and spikes the veteran into the mat with the ATOMIC DRILLER ! But Flash kicks out at the last split second, BBS then argues with Brett Graveson over the count, in the end BBS temper gets the better of him as he shoves Graveson down to the mat and then blatantly brings a chair into the ring, seeing this Graveson disqualifies the Bulldozer, who then tries to take a swing at Flash but the respected veteran is able to duck and roll out of the ring before an enraged BBS is able to connect. Was hoping for a little better from these two, but they struggled to get on the same page throughout the match with several spots looking awkward.

The pace picks up until Ultimate Phoenix is able to take Negra of his feet with a head-scissors take down only for Negra to pop straight back up and nail Phoenix with a drop-kick. But Phoenix then takes Negra off his feet with a leg-sweep, before going for a standing moonsault but Negra gets the knees up and rolls Phoenix up, but Phoenix reverses into a small package of his own. After a brief stand off they go back to exchanging strikes, until Negra goes to the bag of dirty tricks and sneaks in a spinning heel kick to Phoenix' lowing extremeties. Negra then plants Phoenix into the mat with a rolling cutter, before heading up top. Negra sets up for the Phoenix Firebird Splash but Phoenix gets right back up and springs off the ropes, rocking Negra with a jumping roundhouse kick. Negra then stumbles back to his feet, only for Phoenix to spike him into the mat with a running DDT. That earns Phoenix a two count, who then lifts Negra up for an Elemental Suplex attempt but Negra elbows his way out of it, and manages to get a standing switch, Negra then tries for the Elemental Suplex only for Phoenix to make another standing switch, but Negra then sneaks in another blow, allowing him to force another standing switch and dump Phoenix on his head with an Elemental Suplex. Phoenix kicked out, but Negra was now in total control. Negra stomped away on Phoenix before lifting the former MPWF star up and whipping him into the corner. Negra then followed in with a running drop-kick into the corner that sent Phoenix slumping to the mat. Negra then placed Phoenix in the tree of woe position, before going over to the opposite corner and then launching himself across the ring to deliver a corner to corner missile drop-kick. A dazed Phoenix that staggered out of their corner and into his own FLAMING DRIVER (Sunset Driver) from Negra..... One..... Two..... Thr.... Phoenix kicked out much, to Negra's frustration. Negra then taunted Phoenix to get up, before delivering a boot into the mid-section, he then began to set up for the Vertebreaker (a move the commentors revealed that Negra refers to as the Certain Death), but Phoenix was able to slip off, before drilling Negra with a desperation standing drop-kick. Negra stayed on his feet, but as he turned around Phoenix kipped right back up, nailing Negra with a jumping roundhouse kick. A fired up Phoenix then nailed Negra with another standing drop-kick that sent his nemesis tumbling out of the ring, Phoenix then took to the skies, soaring over the top rope to take Negra off his feet with a no hands plancha. Phoenix then rolled a dazed Negra back into the ring, and launched himself back in scoring with a slinghsot corkscrew legdrop. That earned Phoenix a two count, before he used his body as a weapon again, as he sprung off the ropes into a quebrada. Negra was again able to kick out, but Phoenix kept the pressure on immediately taking a dazed Negra back of his feet with a leg-sweep and delivering a standing SHOOTING STAR PRESS !! Negra was again able to kick out, with Phoenix throwing everything but the kitchen sink at his nemesis. Phoenix then waited for a dazes Negra to stagger back up to his feet, before drilling Negra into the mat with a FLAMING DRIVER ! of his own.......... One...... Two....... Thr....... Negra somehow managed to get his shoulder up just in time again. At this point Phoenix felt there was only one move that was going to keep Negra down for three, and that was the Phoenix Firebird Splash. Phoenix soared off the top rope but Negra moved out of the way at the last split second and then tried to steal the win with a fast roll up. Phoenix kicked out, and then tried to set up for another Flaming Driver but Negra had it scouted and then rocked Phoenix with an Enziguri before heading up top himself.....Phoenix then raced up the turnbuckle himself, and the two masked rivals duked it out on the top-rope until Negra was able to shove Phoenix off, but before Negra could launch himself off Phoenix was back up to rock Negra with a step up Enziguri then bring his rival crashing back into the ring with a HURRANCANRANA ! One...... Two........... Negra kicked out, Phoenix then went for a spin kick but Negra had the move scouted ducking under, befoe sneaking in a knee to the groin.....that doubled Phoenix over, as Negra then twisted the 2010 Rey De Reyes winner into position, to be spiked onto his head with the CERTAIN DEATH ! (Vertebreaker), the impact jolting the neck of Phoenix as he was sent crashing to the mat........ One........... Two........... Three !!! Phoenix Negra had won the first meeting against his 'nemesis' in FCW. Fantastic match, it's always a risk to go with these sort of mystery man angles, in case the mystery man doesn't have good chemistry with their intended rival, but thankfully Negra works well with Ultimate Phoenix, as they produce a promotional MOTYC in their first one on one meeting. This feud looks to have legs.

The only clues I will give is that he is an established Cornellverse worker with good skill levels (they match up well to Ultimate Phoenix) but starts off relatively unknown in Puerto Rico.[/SIZE][/FONT] [CENTER][B]Match #5 : Totally Einstein (Bradford Peverall & Mainstream Hernandez) w/ Sara Silver vs [/B] [B]The Ring Generals (Marv Statler & Dean Waldorf)[/B][/CENTER] [CENTER][B][IMG]http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_BradfordPeverell.jpg[/IMG] & [IMG]http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_MainstreamHernandez.jpg[/IMG][/B] w/[B][IMG]http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_SaraSilver.jpg[/IMG][/B][/CENTER] [CENTER][B][SIZE=3]vs[/SIZE][/B][/CENTER] [CENTER][IMG]http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_MarvStatler.jpg[/IMG][B] & [/B][IMG]http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_DeanWaldorf.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] The Ring Generals quickly took control of the match in the early going, as Peverall and Hernandez were not on the same page at all. Hernandez however was able to fend the Generals off and could have got the tag into Bradford Peverall, only to go an Apparition #14 and completely miss his intended target of Marv Statler. Resulting in Hernandez being stuck in the Ring Generals corner. Despite being blown off earlier Peverall dived in to make the save as the Generals dumped Hernandez with their double team finisher the 'Lesson Learned' (Aided Wheelbarrow Suplex). Peverall then cleaned house, allowing Hernandez to scramble across and get the tag in. Peverall then knocked Statler out of the ring with a Rock Hard Uppercut, but was clubbed from behind by Walford, however Peverall stumbled into his corner where Hernandez made a blind tag.....the Mainstreamer then drilled Waldorf with a Super Kick, before making the cover to pick up what looked to be an unlikely victory. Hernandez then walked out the ring (Sara Silver following on behind), leaving Peverall standing on his own, despite the fact they had just picked up the victory in their 'reunion' match. Peverall had a smile on his face though, possibly believing that if Hernandez didn't care at all, he would have left Peverall to fend for himself, once he had tagged out of the match.

W.O.V then used quick tags and the as expected bag of dirty tricks to keep Allen isolated in their corner.....which drew Flash into the ring to protest and break up several pin attempst only to be sent back into his corner, but Nicky R!ot looked completely disinterested in his tag partners predicament. Somehow though Allen managed to escape from W.O.V's corner, managing to slip off Primus shoulders as the big man and M.C Speed set up for the Gangsta Device drop-kicking Primus into Speed, causing a collision between the two former tag champions. Da Power then entered the ring clubbing Allen from behind and then lifting the former TCW man up for a Powerbomb but Allen snapped off a head-scissors take down. Allen then rolled out of the ring, climbed to the top turnbuckle and spiked Power into the mat with a swinging DDT before getting the tag into Steve Flash. Flash immediately stunned a disorientated Power with a Super-kick, but Primus dove in to make the save.....and following an eye poke from Power, Flash soon found himself in the same predicament as Harry Allen. Nicky R!ot was the only one available on the apron, and this time the former USPW prospect looked interested in getting in the tag, but every time Flash got near, one of the W.O.V members would run out and knock R!ot off the apron. Things looked bleak for Flash but out of nowhere, he was able to catch all three members of W.O.V with consecutive FLASH BANGS ! His final one nailing Primus, but he was too worn down to make the cover.....and Flash and Primus both layed flat out in the ring, it then became a race for who would get the tag in first. Primus got the tag into M.C Speed but just a split second later Flash got the hot tag into R!ot, who came in like the proverbial house on fire, dropping Speed with a series of clotheslines,before dumping Speed with the 'CHARLES PETERSON' (Exploder Suplex) only for Da Power to enter the ring and make the save. R!ot was then rocked with a roaring elbow as Power the officially tagged himself into the match, R!ot then stumbled back up and staggerd into the ATOMIC DROP !, the Spinebuster followed (to Same Old **** chants) , but as Power lined up for the SAN JUAN RUSH, Harry Allen launched himself off the top, with a drop-kick but Power saw it coming moving out of the way, as Allen connected with R!ot, however it was enough to send R!ot out of the ring as Power turned his attention to Harry Allen. But then out of nowhere Primus exploded out of the corner and took Power out with a RRRUUUUSSSSHHHHHH !!! Before climbing out of the ring, as Carl Batch, M.C Speed and the fans looked on in shock. Harry Allen then launched himself into Speed and Batch with a suicide dive, as Nicky R!ot climbed back into the ring to find a dazed Da Power stumbling back up to his feet ! R!ot 'decapitates' Power with a SUB POP BOP ! One...... Two...... Three..... UNITY win against all the odds and looks as though Wave of Violence may be falling apart, following Primus turn on Da Power. Not the greatest of matches, but it did it's job of driving storyline's forward and Primus taking Power out with a Rrrruuuuusssshhhh !!!! was a major shock moment. The R!ot, Allen communication problems were thrown in as a curveball and following this big win, you'll find UNITY becoming more 'united' again, especially with Steve Flash returning as a member of the faction. Wave of Violence on the other hand look like they are now falling apart, but I do have plans for a new heel force to take their place and pose a threat to the FCW babyfaces in 2011.

This carried on for the first few minutes until Devine decided to steal in for a pin attempt, Daniels did not take too kindly to that, clubbing Devine from behind. Daniels and Devine then went for nose for nose, before exploding on one another, allowing Angel De Mexico to roll out of the ring to get a much needed breather. Daniels managed to get the advantage, taking over Devine with a snap suplex for a two count. The champion then lifted Devine up, setting up for the trapped knees, but Angel came back in rocking Daniels with a spin-kick, and then taking the champion down with a leg-sweep before going for a quebrada only for Devine to send Angel crashing to the outside. Devine then turned his attention back to Daniels, nailing the champion with a running knee strike, before going for he cover.....that lead to a two count and a confident Devine decided to head up top. But Devine was a little too confident that he had both Angel and Daniels down, and the People's champ picked himself back up off the mat, to send Devine crashing back into the ring with a release belly to belly superplex....... Daniels then scrambled across to make the cover, but was cut off by Angel De Mexico who took the champion down with a springboard head-scissors take down. Daniels was able to kick out however and took control with a fore-arm smash before lifting Angel up, but the patriotic masked man countered into a Tilt-A-Whirl using the momentum to transitition into the MEXICAN DEATH Armbar !! Angel wrenched back on the submission and Daniels looked as though he was about to tap out, only for Devine to make a timely intervention with a knee drop. Devine then lifted Angel into position for the Devine Dream Drop, only for Daniels to prevent Devine from hitting the move with a vicious lariat. Daniels then lifted Devine up, looking to deliver the Raise The Stakes, only to be nailed in the back of the head with an Enziguri from Angel to Mexico, who then dropped Daniels to the mat with the ACAPULCO TWIST !! One...... Two....... Thr...... Devine dived over to make the save and Daniels rolled out to try and get his bearings back. Devine then took control whipping Angel into the corner and following up with a running knee strike into the corner, before planting the masked man into the mat with a running bulldog. Devine then went up to the second rope, before diving off with a leg-drop. That earned Devine a two count, who then took the masked man over with a Northern Lights Suplex........ One...... Two.... Angel kicked out and then began to fire back, putting Devine on the back foot, until the former SWF man sneaked in an eye poke and put the masked man in the Devine Dreams (Sleeper) But just as Angel began to fade, the defending champion Dean Daniels re announced his arrival back into the match with a roaring elbow, catching Devine square on the jaw. Daniels then tried to get Devine in position for the trapped knees but Devine squirmed out. Daniels then whipped Devine into the ropes only to get caught with the Devine Internvention (Springboard Back Elbow), before Devine lifted Daniels up and tried for the Devine Dream Drop, Daniels had it scouted and managed to block the attempt but Devine changed tactic, stunning Daniels with a jawbreaker before dumping the champion with a leg hook belly to back suplex....... That earned Devine a two count, who then headed up top once more , but Angel De Mexico the launched himself back into the ring to send both himself and Devine crashing back into the ring with a springboard rana. The Patriotic masked man then picked himself only to be clubbed from behind by Dean Daniels who then drilled Angel into the mat with the RAISE THE STAKES (Cradle Piledriver) but that allowed Darryl Devine to get back up and nail Daniels with a jumping fore-arm smash, before Devine dumped the defending champion out of the ring with a standing drop-kick. Angel De Mexico then staggered back up to his feet but right into the arm of Devine who planted the patriotic masked man into the canvas with the DEVINE DREAM DROP (Double Underhook Facebuster)........ One.............. Two........... Three.......... Darryl Devine is the new Peoples Champion, as Dean Daniels year long reign with the belt is finally brought to an end. Very good match, Daniels had an excellent run with the belt but I felt it was time to bring it to an end, as its time to really have him fully setting his sights on the bigger prize, and the manner of his loss means that he can realistically move onto that, that's if he stays out of trouble backstage, because there will come a time when his immature antics could push me over the edge, no matter how good his performances have been in the ring.

The match started with a slow place, with lots circling, Morgan then went to rock Russell with one of his trademark European Uppercuts, but Russell ducked under and took Morgan down with a single leg takedown, and then fired in some fore-arms of his own, Morgan blocked that and tried to turn Russell over into the Cross Atantic Stretch only to be caught ina Triangle choke, but the defending champion managed to use his power advantage by taking Russell over with a snap suplex, forcing Russell to release the submission. Morgan was feeling the effects though of being in the submission, and Russell was able to chop Morgan down again, before delivering a vicious flurry of knees. Morgan managed to block most of the knees though and then caught Russell leg, taking the former MMA to ground and then turning Russell over into a single leg crab. Russell managed to make his way over to the ropes but Morgan suddenly picked up the pace , rocking Russell with a flurry of European Uppercuts. Morgan now fired up whipped Russell into the corner and then followed in with a running European Uppercut, before placing a dazed Russell onto the turnbuckle, setting up for the London Bridge, but Russell managed to get out of the predicant with some clubbing blows over the top of Morgan. Morgan turned around however and rocked Russell with another European Uppercut before climbing up top himself to send both of them crashing back into the ring with a superplex, but Russell had locked on an armbar in mid move and all of a sudden J.D Morgan found himself in a world of pain as Russell synched in his feared TWISTING ARMBAR (a submission that has brought him many victories in both his Pro Wrestling and MMA careers). Morgan looked as if though he was about to tap out, Brett Graveson asking the English veteran if he wanted to give it up, but somehow the former DaVE star managed to grit it out and make it over to the ropes. But Russell kept the pressure on, immediately taking Morgan down with a chop block on the rope break before grabbing Morgan's leg to set up for the Cross Kneelock but Morgan must have had the move scouted turning onto his back and then kicking Russell off. Morgan then hobbled back to his feet but was taken down with another chop block from Russell who then turned Morgan over into an ankle lock but the defending champion managed to kick Russell off again before rolling through and then grabbing Russell in the CROSS ATLANTIC STRETCH, but Russell managed to work his way out of that and immediately had Morgan back in the TWISTING ARMBAR. Morgan managed to fight out with elbow shots to Russell's head , forcing the former MMA star to break the hold. Morgan then stunned Russell with a European Uppercut with his good arm before grabbing Russell with a Half Nelson, dumping Russell on right on his head with the HALF NELSON SUPLEX !! But Morgan was slow to make the cover as he tried to shake the feeling back into his right arm, that had sustained damage due to Russell's Twisiting Armbar and when Morgan moved in to make the cover, Russell was there to lock the hold on again, but Morgan was on top and he rocked the former MMA with a flurry of grounded elbow strikes, that forced Russell to break the hold and soon had the local icon in a daze. With Russell dazed, Morgan then syched in the CROSS ATLANTIC STRETCH, and this time he had it locked on right in the middle of the ring. But Russell managed to work his way out again, so Morgan lifted Russell back up to a vertical base, before dumping the former MMA star on his hea with another Half Nelson Suplex, Morgan wasn't done though as he lifted Russell up again dumping the native with on his head with another Half Nelson Suplex. Morgan then re-applied the Cross Atlantic Stretch on Billy Russell, but with two consecutive Half Nelson Suplexes the lights were already out and Brett Graveson called for the bell, with Russell proving to be totally unresponsive, as J.D Morgan retained the Twin Belts going into 2011. A risky match, as they worked a sort of hybrid style, with alot of MMA influences, similar to the sort of work Russell would be doing in INSPIRE. However the intensity of the match and a hot crowd despite the slightly disappointing attendance, really lifted this into being an excellent contest to close out the show and the year for FCW. Russell's on a talent trade from MAW. He's a local talent, so I thought it would be nice to use him at some point but I'm not really sure he fits in with his product, despite the fact he worked pretty well with Morgan. There's probably one or two others he could work well against, Dean Daniels comes to mind but I can't really see him gelling with someone like Angel De Mexico.

Russell's total disrespect, almost ends up with the two going at it again but security are there to break it up, as a 'let them fight' chant goes up in the arena.[/I] [B]Rating: B-[/B] [CENTER][B]______________________________________________________[/B][/CENTER] [CENTER][B][SIZE=3][COLOR=sienna]Overall: B-[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B][/CENTER] In terms of show quality Batalla Final was one of our best show, with 3 excellent matches in the two title matches and the Phoenix showdown really delivering. But there is a down note , ewith the attendance being some what disappointing, especially as it is one of the biggest shows of the year. I guess though with it being the second show in the same month and with it being Christmas Eve, some fans decided to stay at home to save some money, those who did still come were there to witness one of our best shows of the year.

Bigpapa42 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Great show, TK! Nice to see I got a few of the predictions correct. I wasn't sure if you had signed Russell or if he was a talent trade. Given his popularity, he might be worth trying to grab once in awhile. Being loved by the fans makes him an interesting addition now and then. I am curious on Phoenix Negra. I'll have to take a look and see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FINisher Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 *Spits on Devine* I hate the dude. Devine Dream Drop.. He always pulls that one in WreSpi II and I keep losing. And besides I'm sick of everyone using him. Good show nonetheless, PM me the identity of Negra? Is it someone from CZCW? ^^ Black Eagle or Masked Cougar come to mind.. Or Snap Dragon. I still think that ending Daniels's reign that way is just wrong. Guy worked hard and was the champion was so long and then someone like Devine comes out of nowhere and gets the belt.. Angel should have won damn it!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darryl Devine-[/B] Well he is heel, so you are supposed to hate the guy but I guess he has X-Pac heat with you. :p Devine gets used by alot of people because he's good. He's like Steve Flash with Charisma :D SWF were stupid enough to let him go and I wasn't going to pass up on signing him, as his popularity (D+ across the U.S) meant that he wasn't going to turn me down for being too small. [B]2. Who is Phoenix Negra-[/B] What I meant is that you can PM me your guess, and then if you're right I'll say yes and if you're not, I'll say try again. But no it's not Masked Cougar (otherwise he'd be pulling double duty, most nights, being that he's already on the roster and holding tag team gold as part of Animal Magic) and it's not Black Eagle/Plague either because if I were to sign him, i'd push him with his current gimmick....no need to change from one cool, mysterious masked gimmick to another. Same goes for Snap Dragon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFC_chris Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Good show for the year end. I'm guessing Negra is someone who's starting character is maybe a bit bland. I'll have a little look through. Just one clue: Which game world area would you associate them with? US? Japan? UK? Mexico? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
critical-23 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 T.K.!!!!!! *angrily shakes fist* I hate that you have Double J losing like he is but after seeing Mr. Electricity I can't wait to see what you have in store for my Carolina brother!! I love the fact that you have Animal Magic with the titles finally. Here's a lil toast to a long reign. *cheers!!!* Pheonix Negra getting the duke was awesome and different. Can't wait to see who he really is. BBS is a monster and having Steve 'Flashbang' Flash is a great thing for your company--it shows that you are now 'big enough'. Speaking of you growing in popularity: Do you think that you will bring Kirk Jameson back at all? Totally Einstein--totally. Nuff said. I am SOOOOOO waiting to see the new heel force that is on the way. With your track record. . .I just gets the chills, yo!! (p.s. I know my English is not college-level but I am in the Navy so. . .) Darryl Devine winning the title was a bit of a surprise. Heck, Darryl Devine being in your company is a bit of a surprise! On these boards, Darryl Devine is a GDS forum icon. Almost everyone and their brothers pushes this guy to the moon. I guess it is not too different here. As for Dean Daniels--I can see a nice Morgan/Daniels fued over the title. Morgan is a man-ster. I see another dominant reign (ended at the hands of one Dean Daniels) and many more highly-rated main events. Sorry for the lengthy reply but I have been gone for two weeks on holiday vacay and just can't BELIEVE how much action I have missed. Keep up the good work!!!

Tigerkinney Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 [CENTER][B][U]December in Review[/U][/B][/CENTER] Putting on two shows again this month did result in another loss financially, but it's worth taking a hit as I felt we came back strong this month with two good shows, though the 50th show could have been slightly better. The general feeling though is that we need to start expanding into other territories if we are going to grow, but it's finding a way to do that without hurting ourselves too much financially. An idea in the pipelin is to change to a touring schedule, 8 months on and 4 off, and putting on as many shows as we can in those 8 months and using the 4 we have off to recuperate back costs. With the touring schedule, we wont be going on a proper tour as such, but we might say do 3 or 4 shows in one month, with two of them being in new territories and then say put on just the one show the following month in Puerto Rico. Primus Allen, Bulldozer Brandon Smith, Kashmir Singh (Mr Electricity), Jared Johnson and referee Brett Graveson all put ink on new deals and Inky the Squid Boy has now departed from FCW. Coming up you'll get a chance to vote in the end of year awards again and there will be the annual roster review. [CENTER]____________________________________________________________[/CENTER] [CENTER][B][U]Rival Promotion Watch[/U][/B][/CENTER] 4C final show of the year Do or Die was a slightly disappointing effort garnering a C- rating overall. It was headlined by the 4C Championship match between Philip LaGrenier and Nate Johnson, with Johnson bringing LaGreniers long reign with the belt to an end in a C Rated match. CZCW put on Christmas Cage Chaos and they appear to be struggling to get out of their recent funk, as this was another disappointing show by the standards they are capable of, only earning an overall rating of C. This was mostly due to massively disappointing Coastal Zone Championship defence by Harry Allen against former SWF alumni Andre Jones, a match that only earned a C- rating. Harry Allen's reign as Coastal Zone champion has been somewhat disappointing and I question CZCW's wisdom in putting their main belt on him, he's a good mid-carder but he's not main event material (even if he has worked for one of the big two). There were some great contests B- rated contests between Ultimate Phoenix and Brendon Idol, plus Donnie J and Matt Sparrow but neither were the main event. When will MAW learn that Mean Jean Cattley and Steve Flash don't bring the best out of one another, as they fought to a disappointing C- contest over the Mid Atlantic Champioship in the main event, resulting in their Epidemic of Hate event earning an average C- rating overall. NYCW put on one of the best shows in their history on the back of an incredible Empire Title defence by Steve Flash agains Rick Sanders, this was a B+ rated match which is incredible for a Regional indy fed, supported by a B- rated match between Whippy and the Mean Machine against the Island Boys, resulting in their Battle Lines event earning a B rating overall. Following on from their B- rated event last month, NYCW seem to have really found their groove at the end of the year. PSW fail to follow up their best show in years, by returning to their usually dire form with their EXILE event (D rating overall). When will Naess and Braun wake up, and realise those who pay to see their shows are sick of seeing Johnny Martin go up against The Wolverine in the main event, never mind that both are past their peak...the PSW fans just don't care anymore, how else do you explain a D+ main event. Kirk Jameson retained the RIPW Championship agains the soon to depart for SWF Jim Forcer in the D+ rated main event, whilst Madman Boone defeated Jumbo Jackson in another D+ rated match in the semi main event, earning their defiance effort a D+ overall. Overall we had a pretty good month against the competition and would have had the best month of anyone, but Flash and Sanders just so happened to put on a freakishly good match in NYCW this month. CZCW seem to be in a bit of a slump at the moment, 4C and MAW are ticking along with consistantly average shows and PSW and RIPW can't be considered a threat at all. [CENTER]___________________________________________________________[/CENTER] [CENTER][B][U]December News and Notes From Around The Wrestling World[/U][/B][/CENTER] [B]General News[/B] OLLIE have replaced Phoenix I as their head booker with Mayan Idol. Joaquin Soler said that things had started to become a little stale in OLLIE and that they needed a shake up at the top in their attempt to catch SOTBPW and to stay ahead of MPWF and MHW, this was despite the fact that Phoenix I had begun to shake things up, with angles like the Phoenix III heel turn. There appears to be no rift between Soler and Phoenix I, with the veteran masked man taking his removal from the head booker position gracefully.

[B]Worker Releases/Departures[/B] 21CW were dealt a blow when Adam Matravers, was offered the chance to sign on full time with WLW. Matravers has had several cracks at making it in Japan, with some trips being more succesful than other, however WLW with it's emphasis on fast paced action are the ideal fit for Matravers. Matravers also leaves INSPIRE. White Samurai has made the decision to leave BHOTWG. It's not a major loss for the promotion but it's further proof that Burning Hammer are non longer able to keep hold of their roster with ease, with WLW surpassing them and GCG and PGHW at the same level. Nathan Coleman officially departs from MAW, following his exclusive signing with the juggernaut that is WLW and Curtis Jenkins sees his contract unrenewed. Arthur T.Turtle has departed from MOSC, as he looks to make a big impression with his second stint in 21CW. NYCW lose Rhino Umaga to WLW.

Just as his former Tag partner returns, Elmo Benson now finds himself to be surplus to requirements at SWF and Nevada Nuclear is also let go by the Sports Entertainment giantss, as they look to trim some fat from the roster at the end of the year. Jim Force leaves USPW, after SWF 'call him' up for RIPW. Force wasn't on an exclusive development deal with RIPW but was always signed with the intention of eventually getting back to SWF, if he impressed in their development territory.

[B]Title Changes[/B] Adam Matravers wins the United Kindom title in 21CW for a third time, but then drops it two weeks later to Daniel Black Francis who also wins the title for the third time. It appears that Matravers was intended to have a longer run but obviously had to be aborted when he signed on with WLW and DBF teamed up with Pitbull Brown to bring to an end the seemingly never ending two and a half year long tag title reign of Leo Price and Joey Beauchamp. Devil Karube become the new All-Asia champion in 5SSW ending June Butler's four month reign with the belt. Nate Johnson brings to an end the 13 month reign of Philip LaGrenier to become the 4C champion for the first time. Matthew Keith regained the GCG World Title from Jimmy Cox and with brother Greg winning the Openweight belt in October, the Keith Brother now hold all the singles gold in GCG and Nigel Svensson and Sean Deeley brought to an end the half year reign of Kimonubu Kuroki and Roy Edison to win the Tag Titles. Hinote Dojo took the decision to retire the ALL Japan title, last worn by Henry Bennett, who held the title for 18 months and create a new title called the Hinote Dojo Triple Crown. The inaugral winner of the new title was Munemitsu Senmatsu who defeated Stuart Ferdinand to take claim of the new gold in Hinote Dojo. Kirk Jameson teamed up with the Sensational Singh to defeat Billy Russell and Darryl Devine to take claim of the vacant MAW Tag Team Titles, which have been beset with problems due to previous champions either deciding to leave or being poached by bigger promotions. Akinori Kwakami became the Historical Japan Champion for the Sixth Time in WLW and it was double glory for Kwakami who teamed up with Mito Miwa, to win the Glory Tag Crown for the first time as a pair. James Prudence latest reign as Shooting Star Champion could only last month, as Brett Biggz became the champion for the second time.

There is already talk that he could have a career that surpasses that of his illustrious father Sam Keith. [B]Veteran Wrestler of the Year: Yosuke Narita (WLW)[/B] On the other end of the age scale, Narita better known as The Awesome Thunder made it an awards double for WLW, as he turned back the clock on many occasions, in a great year that also included an 8th reign as Universal Champion. [B]Female Wrestler of the Year: Amber Allen (5SSW)[/B] Allen the protege of Stephanie Chee (Stephanie Hazel) looks to have already surpassed her mentor by someway, having a 5SSW title reign under her belt and the fact that the Gaijin has quickly become one of 5SSW's go to performers since the retirements of legendary talents Sensational Ogiwara and Thunder Hike.

That's not a knock on Angel's skills as a wrestler, but he hasn't quite built up the overness levels to be a main event fixture, so expect him to become a cornerstone of the People's Title scene once again, something that was hinted at when he began to challenge for the secondary singles belt in FCW towards the end of the year.

A face turn saw them feud with Wave of Violence, though with W.O.V on the verge of break up and with a Tag Division lop sided towards the faces, a heel turn for the Magnets may be advisable.

I've come to the conclusion that the Peverall-Mainstream feud needs to be resolved soon, either with a full circle reunion and a return to the tag ranks on with one final blow off match in the first quarter of the year.

BBS has quickly established himself as one of the most despicable heels on the FCW roster with his misogynstic bully persona. In terms of in-ring performance he's let to really shine, but that's because he's either been beating up jobbers and when he has been up against better quality opponents they've normally involved BBS partaking in some illegal tactics. Even in defeat he's been looking reasonably strong, the only thing that might hold him back from a more sustained push is his commitment to FCW, as he obviously appears to favour working in Japan, as he has partaken in recent tours with both BHOTWG and WLW.

Since then I've maintained my mid-card spot without ever looking likely to break into the upper echelons or even win any sort of gold for that matter. Even though I have the skill levels to possibly justify a more sustained push, I'm somewhat reluctant to push myself hard because of my position as head booker (FCW fans might not be smarkiest bunch, but most are smart enough to know what really goes on behind the scenes). To be honest, I actually like helping others get over, though for that to continue being effective I may have to go through a period, where I maintain a more focused push for myself. [CENTER][COLOR=olive]**************************[/COLOR][/CENTER] [U][B][COLOR=dimgray]Da[/COLOR] Power[/B] (Wave of Violence)[/U] [IMG]http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_PuertoRicanPowerWOV.jpg[/IMG] [B]From:[/B] San Juan, Puerto Rico/ [B]Billed From:[/B] Anywhere but San Juan, Puerto Rico [B]Age:[/B] 39/ [B]Current Push:[/B] Main Eventer [B]2009 Record:[/B]11-1-5 / [B]Avg Match Rating:[/B] C+ [B]Height:[/B] 6 ft 7 , [B]Weight:[/B] 320 Ibs [B]Finishers:[/B] Atomic Full Nelson [I](Swinging Full Nelson),[/I] San Juan Rush [I](Running Big Boot, normally included as the last move in the 'Four Moves of Doom')[/I] , San Juan Impact [I](Full Nelson Slam)[/I] Power has done a good job of getting the fans who once cheered his every move to hate him with a passion during 2010. The manner of his title victory in February (cashing in a title shot he earned in a trios tournament after Morgan had battled Nicky R!ot to a double count out draw), really cemented his despicable heel character. He did hower lose the Unidsputed Championship to J.D Morgan. Something has unfortunately resulted in the boss being jealous of Morgan's success behind the scenes. I won't dispute that Power does not deserve his main event spot and he's been involved in may of FCW's best matches this year, but that's because of the quality of the opposition and the way I have built them up to be realistic threats, and this is something that Senor Lopez needs to realise, if he wants FCW to grow, rather than be stuck in stasis as a regional vanity project. On some days he appears to get it, but on other days his judgement can be clouded by his ego. An ego that has left me frustated at several points throughout the year. Something I'll reveal now is that Ultimate Phoenix was set to win the title at Anniversario, but Power went all 'creative control' . I'm sure Power felt he would walk away from Anniversario still in possession of gold that night, after he had thrown his toys out of the pram about me wanting to have Phoenix win the title, but unfortunately for him I had other ideas. Another one you may have noticed is the Six Man Battle at Batalla Final. Power put a veto on a UNITY win with what was to be the original match, but as soon as I replaced myself with Steve Flash he was willing to accept defeat. Flash appears to be one of the few roster members he's comfortable 'doing the job to', because quite frankly they are a few and far between.

A superb all round talent, he can wrestle any style of match and combined with a natural charisma that lends itself well to either a cool face or c0cky heel gimmick, Devine is someone who has 'star' written all over them. It's something the SWF obviously spotted by failed to capitalise on. Devine made an instant impact by winning the Peoples championship in only his third match and becoming the one to end Dean Daniels dominant year long reign. Unless SWF realise their mistake or one of the other big boys come knocking, expect Devine to be firmly entrenched in the FCW main event by this time next year.

His only losses all came against main event level talents, and they were booked in such a way to help maintain Daniels aura of a machine like bad-ass. It all points towards Daniels breaking into the main event full time and setting is sights on the 'Twin Belts' and that will happen if Daniels stays out of trouble backstage, because he infuriatingly has a habit of rubbing the rest of the roster up the wrong way with backstage pranks. This would be fine if he was a rookie but he's a 35 year old veteran, with 16 years experience. How well would it go down with the rest of the roster, if I put the title on Daniels and yet him get away with doing anything he wants ? The rest of the roster would expect the sam treatment, if I were to be lenient on Daniels.

They made their debut in November and looked to be new threat to the Tag ranks but an inteference related loss to the Heat Magnets put paid to that and I will admit that I dropped the ball on these guys. Inference related or not it was still a loss, which made them look like total putzes after their initial arrival, that had them talking themselves up as though the rest of the FCW Tag Division couldn't hold a candle to them. It seems unlikely that they'll get a prominennt push for the rest of their contract, however should they ask for a reasonable amount of money when they come up for renegotiation, I will be willing to keep them on and perhaps give them a more focused push at the second time of asking.

He started the year as a bland singles jobber with no direction and ended the year as the bland charisma free half of a glorified jobber tag team with The Great Oxii. Thing is Howard does have some potential to at least be a solid mid-card talent and he would probably be in line for a more sustained push had this been the FCW of 2008. It's not that he's bad, it's just unfortunate for him, I've been able to bring in more pushable talent, which has resulted in him slumming it in the lower echelons for the past few years.

Fox Mask if one half of the high flying masked duo Animal Magic, who captured tag team gold at the end of the year. They have proven to be solid additions to the Tag Division and it's probably where I will continue to mainly use them for the forseeable future, especially now they are possession of the titles. Fox Mask is also a very capable singles performer and could easily slot into the People's title chase (some he has flirted with time to time already) but for me both himself and his tag partner Cougar bring more value to the Tag ranks at this moment in time.

The latter part of Allen and R!ot's reign was frought with tension, following the Rey De Reyes finals match, where the lure of singles glory saw them theoretically turn on one another. Allen is a solid addition to any roster, but not one who warrants a major singles push and is probably best suited to working a part of a tag team, which he has done for most of their career, I do question CZCW's wisdom to put their main singles belt on him, when they like us have more capable performers on their roster. He's also one of highest earners, which may mean that I will have to think about whether or not I would want to keep him on beyond his current contract, because should one of the highest earner on the roster be someone who's unlikely to ever get a push towards the main singles belt ?

However if Apollo is the cream of the new generation of wrestlers born on this Island, then future looks bleak for home-grown Puerto Rican wrestling. In his defence he has shown small signs of improvement over the past year, but the boss didn't set up FCW as a developmental promotion and depending on his payment demands (when his contract next comesup for renewal ),Island Boy could be on his way out of FCW.

As expected Johnson is technically very competent and can match up to anyone on the roster when it comes to exchanging submission holds. Joining in March he has been a solid addition to the roster and has managed to establish himself in the mid-card. At the moment he is in a bit of a funk, having been on the losing end of six out of his last seven matches, with the angle being that he is has all the tools to succeed but lacks the killer instinct to get the job done. Expect Double J to turn his bad fortune round fairly soon and be in line for a more prominent push in 2011.

A no nonsense old school wrestler, Morgan remains one of our best in ring performers capable of adapting to the style of any wrestler on the roster and even at the ripe old age of 42, he shows no signs of slowing down. Unfortunately though his future in FCW may be in jeopardy, as he appears to have fallen out backstage with Da Power (a-k-a Wilson Lopez, a-k-a the Boss). It all appears to be one way traffic to me from Power, who is clearly jealous that he is no longer the be all and end all of FCW, but Morgan has told me that he is far from happy about the bosses recent out burst on local radio and that he may be done with FCW, but that he is an honorable man and will see out the rest of his contract. It would be a shame to lose someone who perhaps has done more than anyone else to help FCW grow over the last two years, but it's a situation that may be out of my hands.

He's competent enough and out of all of the jobbers on the roster, he's the most likely to turn out an eye catching in-ring performance when he's firing on all cylinders but thing is those days are rare and he's just so bland, just so unpushable. And before anyone says J.D Morgan or Steve Flash aren't exactly beaming with charisma, they can make do by being exceptional wrestlers, Moose needs something a little extra if he's ever going to rise above being a jobber, because he's merely an OK one.

Joe Benning has been with FCW since day one, and since that time his all time FCW record reads as 5 wins- 31 losses. He actually seems to be sinking even more into jobberdom with each passing year, only finding himself being used in 8 matches this year, pretty much all of them on the pre-show and all of them losses. Thing is as bland as he is Benning is a fundamentely sound wrestler and could with a bit of patience develop into a decent talent. At 21 he's still very young and could rise up the FCW card yet. He could take heart from someone like Dean Daniels, who was a jobber into his late twenties, it wasn't until he was about 28/29 that Daniels began to rise up the card on the independent circuit before heading to Japan, and Benning could well have the same sort of career.

Even though they tagged together on four separate occasions, the duo dubbed the 'job squad' by FCW fans, has never officially been anounced as a full time tag pairing.

Whilst the new gimmick, may not necessarily help him progress up the card, it does appear to have halted his slide and should see Singh maintain his spot amongst the FCW midcard for the forseeable future.

Is the question fans have been asking since the mysterious new comer arrived in FCW in October. He appears to have 'history' with Ultimate Phoenix, and truly made his mark at Batalla Final by defeating his nemesis. There is no doubt that we have only just witnessed the start of this feud and we may let learn just what is behind the two masked men's dislike of one another. The true identity of Phoenix Negra is being kept under wraps for now, leading to the performer behind the mask having the same level of mystique as his character. So far I'm pleased with how Negra has performed, as he has matched up with Phoenix extremely well. The wrestler behind the mask was the ideal canidate, as in he was not only able to pick up Phoenix's move-set pretty quicklly (which was a requirement of the Phoenix Negra gimmick) but he also had the same size and build, which has helped us get him over as a 'mirror image' of Ultimate Phoenix.

He also began to voice his discontent at having to play second fiddle to Da Power in the Wave of Violence stable and that situation exploded at Batalla Final when Primus turned on Power and left the former Undisputed Champion at the mercy of UNITY. So what does this all mean ? Is Wave of Violence finished ? What becomes of Primus tag team with M.C Speed ? Has Primus, just turned face ? All questions that will be answered in 2011.

However even if he is on the downturn, he should still be capable of producing the goods with the right opponent(s) and he does give us another legitimate main event level talent, who could provide a valuable rub to some of our rising stars.

His performances warrant at least another guest run, but he's not someone who I feel I can easily slot into current storylines, especially with so many prominent masked performers already. [B][U]Teddy Powell[/U][/B] [B]Departed:[/B] September [B]2010 FCW Record:[/B] 2-0-2 Another Rey De Reyes , however the PSW man was brought in for a more extended run, after impressing in his lone match in the 2009 version of the tournament. However despite challenging for the Undisputed Title before he departed, Powell never reached the heights of his match with Kazuma Narato from last year. Would actually be a solid addition to the midcard but feels he is better than he actually is and would probably ask for too much money, if we would try to sign him. and has problems accepting he was the weak link in Adrenaline Rush (the whole being jealous of Sammy Bach's success in TCW, isn't just part of his kayfabe character). [U][B]Soul Krusher[/B] [I](Billy Jack Shearer)[/I][/U] [B]Departed[/B]: October [B]2010 FCW Record:[/B] 7-1-4 Won the Tag Team Championship alongside Leper Messiah in February. However they faded in prominence after they lost the Tag Titles back to UNITY in May and Krusher was released as a cost cutting measure, after it was felt the Messiah's Circus had run it's course. [U][B]Leper Messiah[/B] [I](Tully Arthurs)[/I][/U] [B]Departed:[/B] November [B]2010 FCW Record[/B]: 7-1-5 As stated he won the Tag Team Titles alongside Soul Krusher, which was a contract requirement. Probably would have stayed on, if he accepted his role as an interesting midcard act, however Tully felt he should be a bigger star and it was decided with the release of Soul Krusher as a cost cutting measure, that Tully's tenure with FCW had also come to an end. [B][U]D.C Rayne[/U][/B] [B]Departed:[/B] November [B]2010 FCW Record:[/B] 1-0-8 Joining W.O.V in 2009 did nothing for D.C Rayne, resulting in him being kicked out of the faction. He was going to start feuding with them (possisbly even re-uniting with Eddie Howard) but a terrible first match against Primus put paid to those ideas and Rayne basically became more and more directionless, ending up as a jobber prior to his departure. [B][U]Inky the Squid Boy[/U][/B] [B]Departed:[/B] December [B]2010 FCW Record:[/B] 3-1-9 What D.C Rayne was to W.O.V in 2009, Inky the Squid Boy was to the Messiah's Circus in 2010, he was basically there as a stable fall guy. He continues to work for UEW, and with him still based in Europe and with the two more prominent members of the Messiah's Circus had departed, it was felt it wasn't really cost effective to bring in Inky as a glorified jobber especially with no storyline direction.

1PWfan Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 [B]Wrestler of the Year[/B] J.D Morgan [I]It's been a banner year for JD really- he's gone from being a slightly uneasy mix in FCW to a real franchise player. Plus, he is just kinda awesome.[/I] __________________________________________________ _________ [B]Tag Team of the Year[/B] Animal Magic (Fox Mask/Masked Cougar) [I]The Tag division's lacked a little focus this year, possibly because things have gotten interesting elsewhere, but Animal Magic have been the best of a not-that-bad-but-not-that-great-either bunch.[/I] __________________________________________________ __________ [B]Feud Of The Year[/B] Bradford Peverall vs Mainstream Hernandez vs Bulldozer Brandon Smith : [I]In it's earlier form I wasn't a huge fan, but when Peverall truned face and Brandon went out on his own this one got interesting.

Beeker Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 [B]Wrestler of the Year[/B] [B]Da Power[/B] - That's right. The man who dubbed FCW a vanity project is now voting for the Main Man in Vain as the Wrestler of the Year. Not for his in-ring skills, not for his promos, not for the 'same ol' sh!te' but because, simply put, Da Power turned heel on an entire nation that revered him. It drove storylines for months and made WoV a legitimate stable in a way The Leper's Circus never could have attained. [CENTER]___________________________________________________________[/CENTER] [B]Tag Team of the Year[/B] [B]Messiah's Circus (Soul Krusher & Leper Messiah) [/B] - Simply because while it was around, I really dug the Circus and even though they were superceded by WoV the proved a valued addition to the early days of FCW and deserve some recognition. Plus, I hope they win so they can come back and accept their "Freedie." [CENTER]____________________________________________________________[/CENTER] [B]Feud Of The Year[/B] [B]Wave of Violence vs UNITY: [/B] - Because for the first time there was stable warfare in FCW. Da Power joined WoV, Steve Flash was retired. The midcard got a major boost in the forms of Nicky Riot and Harry Allen. Not the flashiest of fueds but a good old fashioned tradition based blood fued. [CENTER]__________________________________________________________[/CENTER] [B]Match of the Year[/B] [B]Da Power vs J.D Morgan vs Ultimate Phoenix [I](Anniversario III)[/B] - I think this was the shock where Morgan won the title and helped revitalized FCW. Plus Phoenix is generally great and both carried Da Power to a watchable match. [CENTER][I]_______________________________________________________[/I][/CENTER] [B]Show Of the Year[/B] [B]Anniversario II (September)[/B] [CENTER]________________________________________________________[/CENTER] [B]Best Newcomer[/B] [I]* Which newcomer to FCW in 2010 has made the most impact[/I] [B]Bulldozer Brandon Smith[/B] - BBS isn't my favourite C-Verse character, but of the three, he's been around the longest and done the most. Yes Devine holds the gold, but I suspect there are two reasons for that. Tigerkinney knows Devine is a call away from a written contract but now, he'll always be an FCW title holder, plus someone could always have the rub of beating him. (I'm guessing Da Power. :P ) If he sticks around he's a valued addition. But BBS, if he doesn't head to the Far East. Is a bully and a heel and someone the crowd truly loathes. Negra, while good, is right now the Anti-Ultimate-Phoenix and until he comes into his own then he won't win. All said, a good year to be a mysioginist from Minnesota.
