Breaking News: FCW officially shutting down

Source: The Wrestling Observer

WWE officials notified Bright
House Network Monday that they have opted to cease their affiliation
with the Florida based sports network as they are shutting down Florida
Championship Wrestling effective immediately. Florida Championship
Wrestling programming, which was taped last Thursday in Tampa, Florida,
will cease to air on the network in three weeks.

Everyone
involved with Florida Championship Wrestling will relocate to WWE’s
homebase in Stamford, Connecticut until a further decision regarding the
developmental program is made.

WWE employees were given the
impression that a developmental promotion will ultimately open in
Connecticut with the possibility of a second at an undetermined
location.

The promotion was started by former wrestler Steve
Keirn in 2007 to be WWE’s second developmental promotion when they ended
their relationship with the Georgia-based Deep South Wrestling in early
2007. It became their sole developmental promotion in early 2008 when
they ceased affiliation with Ohio Valley Wrestling.

"Shutting down the studio."

agreed <3

when i went to SD last week and actually watched NXT again i enjoyed it. I'd watch it more if they put all the new blood there.

there are no plans to shut down WWE developmental Florida Championship
Wrestling. FCW training is going on as scheduled today, and the talent
was told that there is nothing to worry about. All FCW events scheduled
fort the weekend will go on as scheduled.

I guess they got them that Cambodian Breast Milk.
