BRM Reviews the 4/29/2012 FCW

[Big Red Machine]

BENICIO SALAZAR vs. RICK VICTOR (w/Sofia Cortez & Paige)- 3.5/10

AMBROSE & BRONSON STUFF BACKSTAGE- good

BO ROTUNDO vs. BIG E. LANGSTON- 3/10. This should have been a lot higher, but I hated the finish. In order to have a Spear out of nowhere be a legit finish, you need to hit it in a way that looks a lot bigger than that. Rhino and Goldberg knew how to do it.

SEGMENT TO SET UP THE FCW 15 TITLE MATCH NEXT WEEK- this is “groundbreaking?” Hopefully this is leading up to an angle where Maxine will get pissed that Summer Rae is stealing her ideas. Anyway, having these two guys trash-talk each other and just ignore Summer Rae’s attempt to get a picture 9with her constantly posing for the picture) was amusing.

NICK ROGERS vs. JAMES BRONSON- no rating. AWESOME segment.

FLORIDA HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH: Seth Rollins(c) vs. Kassius Ohno- 8/10
Awesome match, with some great nearfalls. They definitely made me doubt the outcome that I predicted.

Overall, an eh episode of FCW made great by an awesome segment and an awesome main event.

That main event, it felt kind of slow at the beginning but eventually picked up. I haven't seen much of Herohno, but I love that impact sound. I'm a sucker for anything that sounds like it hurt like hell.

Hidden text.

But I get annoyed when setups to finishing moves is so blatantly obvious. The way Herohno fell to a knee to take that low superkick. Its just when its obvious that the receiver is getting in a position to get it, I just get upset. Probably why I'm not a big fan of the shining wizard.

agree, the spear was iffy, the idea was good, but Bo needed to have more distance to make it look strong
