She was hideous since the very beginning, and now she looks like Nicki Minaj. Great, atleast PHX will mark out.

 

[Dale]

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

She really doesn't. Regardless of her decent body, she looks like Vickie in the face and that isn't remotely attractive.

 

[Slim]

Well I'd rather bang that then that monster she was lookin like in FCW. Looked like a dang clown.

This Thursday will be the final FCW TV taping in Tampa prior to the show moving to its new permanent location at Full Sail University.

The show will be headlined by Dean Ambrose vs William Regal, and Ambrose has Tweeted the following about the match:

 

[Troy]

I was wondering when this was finishing up, I had assumed that it would have been over a few weeks back when they taped the first set of tapings at the new location. Good mainevent for the last show in that arena.

Last week it was reported that Tom Prichard had been released as the head trainer for WWE's developmental territory FCW.

F4Wonline.com is reporting Tom Prichard's release came directly as a decision made by Triple H. Reportedly Prichard's release and being replaced by Bill DeMott was one of the many changes expected to happen as Triple H slowly takes over the full-time control of FCW's operations. Many in WWE were shocked to hear DeMott was taking over for a released Prichard.

According to a WWE source, this is just one of many changes that will happen as developmental is slowly taken over by Triple H.

Should of just kept him imo and hired DeMott as well.

JR's said in his latest blog that after these last 3 episodes of FCW have aired, that FCW will officially be replaced by NXT.

 

[Dale]

In what way? Surely they're not scrapping developmental are they because they need an off air facility to train the green as grass ones instead of throwing them straight onto TV. Wonder if he meant NXT would be taking FCW's spot on TV?

 

[AZUCAR!]

What I can gather is the FCW school is staying, just they won't be doing anymore shows at the FCW Arena. They're still going to be doing Live Events from what i've read in Florida. JR didn't mention in his blog if the time slot that FCW currently has will be replaced with NXT. He also said it's doubtful the new NXT would air on wwe.com like the current NXT does.

 

[Troy]

I assume that they will finally start airing the shows they taped at the University last month once these three shows have aired. It will be good to finally see the shows they created in the new arena to check out the new look and to see some of the FCW guys on a slightly bigger stage.

 

[Andrew]

Benicio Salazar, who had been appearing in Florida Championship Wrestling as a masked character, is now pictured on FCWWrestling.info without a mask. His bio, however, was not modified.

"I have spent much time scouting the superstars of FCW," Salazar explained through a translator. "My true identity will NEVER be revealed and the fact that I will become the next big FCW attraction is all my opponents need to know."

Another masked wrestler is now unmasked? I've seen his work, he's quite good. No idea why he is shown unmasked on the website; however I do see him suitable to Sin Cara's work.
​

 

[Troy]

Bit silly to change his picture and then not update the profile which contradicts his new look. Not sure why they would unmask him, I don't remember seeing any storyline connected to this on recent FCW shows.
