BRM Reviews the 7/1/2012 FCW

[Big Red Machine]

RICK VICTOR vs. JIRO- 4.5/10

JASON JORDAN vs. BIG E. LANGSTON- 6.5/10
Before this match, I saw Big E. Langston as a decent big-man, and Jason Jordan as just another guy (and one who usually lost, too). This match was great (especially for the time it was given). Awesome storytelling here.

RICHIE STEAMBOAT PROMO- very good.

SUMMER RAE HYPES THE SUMMER TOUR- good

LEAKEE RETURNS- GREAT promo, but disappointing. I was really enjoying this guy as a babyface, and he finally returns... as a heel.

ADAM MERCER vs. ERICK ROWAN- squash

ANTONIO CESARO PROMO- great

PAIGE vs. AUDREY MARIE- no rating. I actually liked this finish. Paige seems like she could legitimately rip someone's arm off.

BRAD MADDOX vs. CONNOR O'BRIAN (w/Kenneth Cameron)- DUD!
They started the match with four minutes left in the show. Then they wasted a minute and a half with the Ascension guys screaming MsChif-style, except much lower pitched and much lamer. Maddox no-sells the screaming making it pointless (seriously, compare this to MsChif screaming at Lacey- that is hilarious, this is just dumb). Then Maddox gets some offense in before being squashed. Why the hell was this even on TV, never mind in the main event.

Overall, a decent show from FCW
