JR's Blog: Friday blog..Last FCW TV Taping..Lots of Top Prospects..20% OFF JR's at WWEShop.com
Posted: Jun 9th 2012 By: CMBurnham
Flying now from Tampa to DFW and into OKC so here's a quick blog to snack on before...or after supper.
The atmosphere Thursday night at the last FCW TV taping was intimate and exciting from the sell out, turn away crowd.
As much as the crowd delivered the kids delivered more. I'm amazed at the teamwork and team spirit these young talents possess. It's refreshing and motivating even for an old veteran like me.
Lots of kids stood out. Rollins, Steamboat, Cesaro, Ohno, Bo Dallas, Bray Wyatt, Brad Maddox, Ascension, Big E Langston, Jason Jordan, Paige, and several others who I'm sure that I'm inadvertently omitting while doing this on the fly from 35,000 feet.
I like the team of Jake Carter and Cory Graves. Their match w/ CJ Parker and Mike Dalton was really nice.
Loved the @thedeanambrose vs @realkingregal bout that had a shockingly, real, physical conclusion. That match was on hour three and will likely air in July but I'm not sure of any of the air dates. When FCW's TV show runs its course on the Brighthouse Network in Florida, FCW will be replaced by NXT. I'm unaware if the rebranded NXT will air on WWE.com ( doubtful) but will air outside the USA where NXT is currently airing.
I had a blast blast broadcasting w/ WWE HOFer Dusty Rhodes as you will hear if you are able to assess the show which many watch on You Tube.
With FCW in the rear view mirror we turn our attention to the next, NXT taping at Full Sail University in Orlando next Thursday June 14.
As I hammer out this blog and while apologizing for any typos, just a reminder that http://www.wweshop.com/Category/JimRoss is offering 20% OFF all our products just in time for grilling season and Father's Day. Often asked about underrated wrestlers. There's no definitive answer but Dick Murdoch has to be on any list that I would comprise. Dickie has the skills to be a great NWA Champion if he had spent more time being serious instead if investing ample, in ring time horsing around. Amazingly gifted at 6'5"- 280 and could be as good as any one I've ever been around. Don't ask me Brock Lesnar questions because 8I have zero answers. Lesnar is a brutish mercenary who fights, competes, performs for money....big money. He seemingly only has allegiances to the all mighty dollar which isn't necessarily a jailable offense. What lies ahead in Brock's future can only be answered by Lesnar and I'm relatively certain that there are days that he's not totally sure. Stay tuned. Follow me on Twitter @ JRsBBQ. Appreciate the great business and support for JR's products at WWEShop.com. The fasten seatbelt light is on....until next time. Boomer Sooner! J.R.
