I dont know about others but ive been really following FCW as of late and throught why not start a thread to discuss FCW.

Dean Ambrose is amazing. He plays his character to perfection.
Husky Harris as a face?? and Richie Steamboat as a heel???

I quite like the way they're using Harris in FCW. They have a lot of talented guys in FCW who certainly deserve TV time more than say, Jinder Mahal or Heath Slater.

I think WWE should be pushing Justin as the new JoMo.

Top FCW stars Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose have impressed WWE officials and reportedly have spots on the main roster but have not been called up yet because of a new decree from Triple H.

Triple H has said that he wants no new talents brought up from FCW unless the creative team has a solid storyline for them to debut with and a strong gimmick. Officials are very high on Ambrose and while they feel that Rollins has some areas to work on, he's considered right up there with Ambrose.

I like that idea. It means the don't come in and have no direction ala Johnny Curtis.

Yea, It avoids good talent getting buried for no reason.

All sorts of goodness

Various wrestling media sources have confirmed that former Ring of Honor star Chris Hero has officially signed with WWE and has already reported to the Florida Championship Wrestling developmental territory in Tampa.

Now, to wait and see what vanilla name they give him.
This past weeks FCW saw Bo Rotundos return... it s time for the guy to get a hair cut and a bus ticket from FCW arena to Vinces house... he's too good of a talent to leave in FCW limbo any longer. Same for Rollins, Ambrose, Steamboat and Heros former KOW running mate Claudio. Leave FCW for Baby Ziggler, Brad Maddox, Corey Graves (just get him to lose Cottonwood and bring back his girl),Leakee and the revolving door of hopefuls... plus Husky Harris.

Cottonwood just needs to be released... ugh..

Leakee is getting a push.. okay that's nice...

Rollins, Ambrose and Claudio need to move up (Although I would like for Claudio to stay until he and Hero have fully established themselves there as the tag team they can be)

The thing is, Leakee is just another version of the Usos or Rocky Mavia... it's just not working for him...

There's a heap of them that are on the 50/50 in terms of either being pushed in FCW or being released...

Sandow is another that needs to be moved up, but as I've read until they find a really good storyline to bring them into the main roster there's really no point...

I don't know why they've kept Sandow around for so damn long, to be honest. He's been in and out of Development for the last 9 freakin' years, for Christ's sake. How many other current FCW talents can they say were in OVW when CM Punk was?

Yeah, but if you can't think of a decent storyline for someone who's been floating around development for 9 years...

Which is fair enough, but at the same time Sandow changed his gimmick from Idol Stevens to Damian Sandow...

His gimmick is awesome!! "LIGHTS" "SPOTLIGHT" I mean the promo he cut on Steamboat was all kinds of awesome!!

Steamboat however is a shit wrestler.... don't like Richie and never will....

On an unrelated note, is it just me, or could Rick Victor easily pass for Barruh's brother these days without the goatee? And on brothers- if you didn't know Bo and Husky were brothers, would anyone believe it?

It's a unique name....

I mean come on... people bitch and moan about the generic jobber names that new wrestlers get when they enter the E' yet when a cool name comes up, others will think that it's a stupid name...

Just fucking get over it!! Besides, now when I watch Hero's matches and he hits the Death Is Welcome, I can yell "OH NO!" :lol:
