Florida Championship Wrestling
Deland, Fla.
Report by Dot Net reader Rick Medders

1. Lucky Cannon beat Big E. Langston. This was mostly a one sided match with Big E. being the main aggressor (he is huge up close). Lucky scored the pinfall with a roll up pin. Not a very good match.

2. Curt Hawkins and Vance Archer defeated Kaval and Yoshi Tatsu. Very good match with a few big spots. Yoshi made fun of Vance's tramp stamp and said he was the girl in him and Curt's relationship, very funny, they kept pulling up his tights the whole time. Kaval hit a huge dropkick off the ropes across the ring but Vance hit his finisher on Yoshi while Kaval was outside the ring with Curt. Very good match.

3. Rhys Ali beat Shad. Shad pretty much dominated the whole match but Ryhs got the win with a roll up pin. Very slow match

Byron Saxton came out saying since ECW was no longer and he was needed as a announcer he was gonna take a young wrestler under his wing. He announced that wrestler was Rudy Parker. Rudy came out and seem to not want to have anything to do with Byron.

Music hits and out comes Abraham Washington. He ran down the crowd and town of Deland.. He said he was granted a temporary managerial license and wanted to manage someone against Rudy for tonight. if Rudy won Abraham would apologize to the crowd. Rudy accepted much to the disapproval of Byron. Out comes Mason Ryan.

4. Mason Ryan (w/Abraham Washington) beat Rudy Parker (w/ Byron Sexton). Decent match that saw Mason get the win.

Alicia Fox and Liviana came out first for the Divas match. Next Naomi Night was announced as the first FCW women's champ (which I have read has not been televised yet). Naomi said she wanted a WWE diva in her corner so she announced Natayla. She came out a nice pop from the crowd.

5. Alicia Fox and Liviana beat Naomi Night and Natayla. I'm not a huge Diva wrestling fan, but this match was actually entertaining with Alicia have many big spots. The ending saw Alicia and Liviana win after Tamina interferred in the match.

6. Los Aviadors defeated Danny Marlow and Brodus Clay to retain the FCW Tag Team Championship. Good back and forth match that saw Los Aviadors retain their titles after they double team Brodus.

7. Alex Riley defeated Johnny Curtis to retain the FCW Heavy Championship. Alex came out to a lot of heat from the crowd. He is very good in that Miz style role. Good back and forth action with several big spots and Alex got the win with his finisher when Johnny failed to hit his.

8. The Hart Dynasty (w/Natayla) beat The Uso Brothers (w/Tamina) to retain the WWE Unified Tag Titles. A great match that rivaled any match you see from these guys on Raw. Several nice tag team spots and even a good bump on the floor which wasn't padded just concrete. The ending saw The Hart Dynasty hit their finisher for the win. Great match

Notes: All in all it was a great show. Every wrestler was into it and seem to put forth 100 percent. It was nice to see a good mix of new and more established wrestlers. The Hart Dynasty signed autographs before the event for probably an hour and were very cordial.

The FCW wrestlers not wrestling did security for the event. They all signed autographs and many of the Divas were there. I also saw Norman Smiley and Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat in attendance.

The next show in Deland is July 10. It will have a autograph session with Dusty Rhodes and Goldust.
