More Hero bashing, what a surprise.

 

[Andrew]

Jesus, he faced Xavier Woods who isn't matched for Hero's style really... That's the thing, Hero has to experience facing guys of different styles. The match wasn't too bad, once he's on the roster you'll see he'll pull off some great matches.

im going to headline as many wwe cards as hero.this guy is a BUM .im sorry but it maddens me how everyone loves this guy but i just dont get it.when i look at him i see the guys wrestling for 30 bucks at the corner bar by my house not headlining ppvs.

 

[The New F'n Show]

Really didn't find that match that bad, think you are looking for reasons to hate on Hero. Respect your thought process as I'm not sure he will make it either but going a bit overboard here.

 

[Troy]

The match was alright, not a fan of his finisher at all though just like I am not a fan of Big Show's KO punch. Xavier Woods looked great in that match, WWE need to promote him to the main roster soon.

So FCW is finally back out after a 3-4 week hiatus and I read this

This is the first week that FCW has aired since the March 18th show. The show was temporarily pulled from air for unknown reasons by WWE, but it looks to be back now. You will also notice several continuity issues, including a different announce position and the end credit roll. We consistently checked and FCW did not air new episodes during this gap, so there are about 3 to 4 weeks that are missing that were never aired. We will continue to monitor all airings in the hopes that these shows will turn up.

So, Rollins winning the title hasn't aired. Which sucks, as I was looking forward to seeing him win the title. Hopefully this gets sorted out soon.

 

[Troy]

I hope that they don't just ignore those missing weeks, they should show it in a mini-marathon in whatever tv market they are in. I can't see how they can't show Rollins as champion unless they claim it occured at a "house show" and make him drop it before the next show airs.

 

[Troy]

In the past couple of weeks Damien Sandow, Antonio Cesaro, Ryback and Abraham Washington as a manager have been featured on WWE and Dean Ambrose isn't too far away. This is taking a fair bit of talent away from FCW but still when I look at that roster they have a decent amount of talent left behind. Hopefully WWE haven't finished with their post-WM promotions because it would be a shame if someone like Seth Rollins continues to be stuck in FCW and I am still amazed that Xavier Woods is still in FCW and not on the main roster.

With these promotions the future FCW episodes will be interesting to see who takes their place and gets more tv time.

Match Number Four: FCW Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins defeated Bo Rotundo with God’s Last Gift to retain the FCW Heavyweight Title.

 

[Troy]

Interesting that the KOW are facing off with each other already in FCW, at least WWE know that they will be able to work well together. Seth Rollins retaining against Bo Rotundo means that he will be staying in developmental for at least another month. Fair enough since there have been quite a few debutants in recent weeks and he could get lost in the shuffle. Good that Bo is back in the title scene after he had to drop it due to injury previously.

pretty decent match.its no secret iv always hated chris hero but what the fuck????????he looked fantastic here.he was at least 15 pounds lighter than when he debuted in fcw just a few months ago and he was tan.more importantly he moved fantastic for a guy that size.iv never seen a guy with that lank move like that.iv always hated this guy.hell i believe i bashed him right in this very thread but fuck maybe im mistaken iv seen him in tag matches and his last few roh shows and just never saw anything in him.perhaps i was wrong.also iv said it before i think rollins is a combination of shawn michaels cm punk and a bit of justin gabriel.athletically i think hes better than anybody on the wwe main roster.anybody.if wwe uses him right i think he one day soon main events wrestlemania.i really believe hes the next big break out star ala cm punk,cena,lesnar ,those kinda guys.hes that good.

Current FCW Divas Champion Raquel Diaz (Shaul Guerrero) debuted a new look at last night’s FCW TV tapings, one that may have been previously discussed for Layla on WWE’s main roster. There were rumors over a year ago of WWE doing a character similar to pop star Lady Gaga with Layla. Diaz debuted a new blonde look with new make-up at last night’s tapings and a group of friends in attendance noted that it reminded them of Gaga.

She doesn't look anything like Lady GaGa to me. She looks more like Nikki Minaj. Not a fan of the new hairdo

 

[Dale]

Hideous makeup kinda takes away from her hideous looking face, I dig it.

 

[Slim]

ummm she just looks dang ugly to me. lose the make up and the hideous make up and she'd look a lot better.
