Batista in Neighbours - Video, Florida Championship Results 6-25-09
-Here are the following results of yesterday’s Florida Championship matches:
Big Papi Sanchez pinned Kristof? (aka Chris Raaber) with a splash. This match was fairly sloppy with one blown big boot spot in particular.
FCW General Manager Abraham Saddam Washington made an announcement that there would be a historic announcement at next week’s television tapings. He them introduced Alex Riley (w/Beverly) who beat Bo Rotundo. This match wasn’t pretty either but Riley was solid as a heel and Beverly was smoking hot. Also, of note, former TNA referee/wrestler Shane Sewell was the referee for this match.
Troy Jackman (w/Fletcher Chase) pinned Vic Adams. Adams was decent but Jackman is still green; nothing too special here.
Ricky Ortiz pinned Expiera? (aka Sicodelico) after he reversed a flying crossbody. This was Ricky’s first match in the FCW Arena as a heel but most of the fans still cheered for him. He also did not throw out the towel like he usually did; instead he choked the former Sicodelico with it.
FCW Florida Tag Team Champions The Dude Busters (Trent Beretta & Caylen Croft) defeated Justin Angel & Kris Logan when Croft rolled up Logan and held the tights. This was far and away the match of the night. All four men worked really hard and I could see them all called up at some point. Really solid stuff.
Rosa Mendes pinned Alicia Fox in one ugly match. The pinfall might have been a blown spot when Miss Angela, the ring announcer, failed to push Rosa’s (the two are feuding) feet from the ropes when she pinned Fox. Not a good match by any means.
Dawson Alexander, Esquire pinned Dylan Klein after a spinebuster. This match was not that good either. I have seen both men have better matches, especially Klein who I consider one of the up and comers at FCW.
Ezekiel Jackson squashed Yoshitatsu. Not much to write about here other than that Jackson looked good again.
Drew McIntyre & Sheamus O’Shaunessy vs. a returning Joe Hennig & Gabriel was turned into a fatal four-way by FCW General Manager Abraham Saddam Washington. This was a really solid match with all four men working hard. Sheamus got the pin on Gabriel with a neckbreaker. Joe looked solid in his first match at the FCW Arena in several months.
FCW Florida Heavyweight Champion Tyler Reks pinned former tag team partner Johnny Curtis to retain the title. The crowd showed the duo with “Team 4:20” chants before the match. Team 4:20 is what the FCW crowd affectionately dubbed the pair during the tag team title reign. The match started slow and it appeared they were building something special but it never really seemed to get into gear. About 5 minutes into the match Curtis slapped Reks after Reks had offered his hand. Curtis wrestled heel the remainder of the match. Solid but I expected more from these guys given what I have seen from them in the past.
Also, Dory Funk Jr. was among those in attendance.
