FCW TV TAPING - 02/04/2010
FCW Arena – Tampa, FL
Week One (airdate 02/14/2010)
Match 1: Alex Riley & Vance Archer beat Skip Sheffield & Big E. Langston when Riley pinned Langston
Lt GM Norman Smiley (with his assistant Liviana) came to the ring to announce that the main event of the first show will be an FCW Championship rematch between Justin Angel and Michael Tarver. He then brought out Aksana, acknowledging the awful last few weeks she's had… she was kidnapped, then the disappearance of her boyfriend Eli Cottonwood. He then said he had a surprise for Aksana and introduced Eli Cottonwood, who came out looking like 7’2’ preppie wearing a light blue knit sweater and jeans. I guess the days of being dressed straight from the sanitarium are over. Johnny Curtis came out and interrupted the reunion by challenging Cottonwood and hitting on Aksana.
Match 2: Queen Of FCW Match: A.J. Lee pinned Serena to become the new Queen of FCW
Match 3: Wes Brisco and Bo & Duke Rotundo defeated Donny Marlow and Jimmy & Jules Uso when Brisco pinned Marlow
Penny Cash did an interview segment with Florida Tag Team Champions Brett DiBiase and Joe Hennig (who was using a crutch). They acknowledged the many teams challenging them, specifically Vance Archer & Alex Riley. Joe said the injury was nothing and he’ll be back real soon.
Match 4: FCW Championship Match: Justin Angel and Michael Tarver wrestled to no contest when Wade Barrett shocked the crowd by jumping the announce table and guardrail and attackin both combatants. He threw Tarver out of the ring and brutalized Angel in the middle of the ring until officials forced him out. He then left through the back exit of the FCW Arena.
