The wrestling here was great, but the finish was so dumb it is offensive. Ohno goes for the Rolling Elbow but Cesaro pulls the ref into the way and we get a ref bump. So far so good. Then they keep fighting… still good. Then, for no reason, the locker room empties to try to break up their fight… except it isn’t a fight… IT’S A G-D DAMN MATCH! To complete this silliness, the ref wakes up from the KO Elbow DQs Cesaro for pulling him into the path of the elbow, so we have the babyface backing into the next round.
BRAY WYATT PROMO- GREAT!
BENICIO SALAZAR vs. BRAY WYATT (w/Eli)- squash
BRAD MADDOX PROMO- good
RICHIE STEAMBOAT vs. RICK VICTOR (w/Sofia Cortez & Paige)- 5.75/10
I was disappointed by Steamboat winning here. I popped for the SofiaCanrana, though. The aftermath was telegraphed by the promo, but wasn’t bad.
HYPE FOR NEXT WEEK’S TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH- AW was good.
#1 CONTENDERSHIP TOURNAMENT FIRST ROUND MATCH: Bo Rotundo vs. Leo Kruger- 6.75/10
Overall, a pretty good episode of FCW, but it would have been much better if they dind’t screw up the
