BRM Reviews the 3/11/2012 FCW

Post by Big Red Machine » Mar 12th, '12, 20:24

BIG E. LANGSTON & ALEXANDER RUSEV vs. CJ PARKER & JASON JORDAN- 4.25/10

BYRON SAXTON PROMO- good

KENNETH CAMERON vs. COLIN CASSIDY- No rating. Okay segment.
OMG! Did Chris Nowinski grow while I wasn’t looking?
Anyway, one major problem I am having with this angle is that Kenneth Cameron has felt like a heel for way too long and hasn’t done anything babyface-ish at all, so I’m really not behind him as a babyface, and he isn’t interesting or developed enough for me to be behind him as a tweener, either. I liked them having Saxon cause the undefeated streak to end, but I think that someone more notable should have been the one to end it.

SOFIA CORTEZ vs. AUDREY-MARIE- 4/10.
OMG some actual story in a divas match! The aftermath was eh.

KASSIUS HERO OHNO PROMO- great
I can tell I’m going to be making that Freudian slip a lot. Hopefully, as he said in his promo, Hero won’t be in FCW long enough for me to make this mistake.

SEGMENT WITH MAXINE, NORMAN SMILEY, & STEVEN KEIRN- HORRIBLE!
Before this segment, what we had was a nefarious psychiatrist who also turns out to be a wrestler manipulating the GM… which is a good angle.
After this segment, what we had is a GM who is too stupid to notice that the psychiatrist she hired wasn’t a real psychiatrist… which is a bad angle.

FLORIDA HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH: Mike Dalton(c) vs. Leo Kruger- 7/10.
Very good match, but the wrong guy went over. Doing it this way makes Dalton look like a schmuck who couldn’t win the belt on his own and got lucky that Road Dogg decided to help him.

Overall a decent episode of FCW
Hold #712: ARM BAR!

I agree with everything. And I'm starting to like Cameron. I have to agree, he doesn't feel much like a face. The ominous entrance, the brutal attitude... I don't buy that he could come off as a tweener either... I'm not going to write this one off though, 'cause I like Byron and I like Cameron, so we'll see where it goes.

I was frustrated that they had Dalton lose a week after winning it. The announcers did a really good job of talking up the fact that Kruger had to make him pass out rather than tap out after going on about how much heart the kid has. I'm interested to see where this goes, or how Leakee is going to fit into this when he comes back.

I actually rather enjoyed this episode. Even the Divas match. :O
