JR's Blog: Monday Blog..FCW/Tampa...Ambrose vs Regal...Order JR's Today from WWEShop.com

Posted: Jun 5th 2012 By: CMBurnham

Beautiful day here in Tampa. Thanks for supporting http://www.wweshop.com/Category/JimRoss for all your BBQ sauces, Chipotle Ketchup, Main Event Mustard, and All Purpose Seasoning. JR'S Beef Jerky, too. Here we go....

Productive day of day one of two a days here in Tampa at FCW facility. Approximately 23 prospects working out doing a variety of drills. Lots of fundamentals being taught by FCW staff lead by 'Head Coach' Bill DeMott.

It will interesting as to what everyone retains as it relates to what they learned today come another day of two a days on Tuesday.

They are getting great coaching from Dusty Rhodes, Jerry Brisco, Ricky Steamboat, WWE HOFers all, Norman Smiley, Joey Mercury, and Steve Keirn.

Good to see Perry Saturn at FCW teaching today as well. Really proud of Perry for a variety of reasons and it was good visiting with him today.

I assure you that there will be some sore athletes reporting for another day of hard work early Tuesday morning. Camp ends Thursday.

Final FCW TV taping will be Thursday night on South Dale Mabry highlighted by Dean Ambrose vs William Regal. The plan at this time is for Dusty Rhodes and me to broadcast that show.

I'm immersed in the developmental process and love being a small part of it. No where I'd rather be this week than Tampa.

Interested to see the opening segment of Raw tonight featuring John Cena being interviewed by Michael Cole. Cole is one of WWE's most controversial TV personas and this interaction will likely address the Big Show-Cena personal issue. Fully expect Raw to be must see, it is for me, even though my OKC Thunder play at San Antonio tonight and the OU women softball team playing Alabama in the WCWS in OKC. It looks like multiple prospects from the ongoing camp at FCW have viable opportunities to earn WWE developmental contracts but the next 72 hours will tell the story. Jerry Brisco, as always, has done a superb job in bring some talented, amateur wrestlers to the camp. Hope that you'll follow me on Twitter @JRsBBQ. Working on some of your Q&A's now here on the site. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you'll enjoy Monday Night Raw live tonight. Boomer Sooner! J.R.
