WWE officials notified Bright House Network Monday that they have opted to cease their affiliation with the Florida based sports network as they are shutting down Florida Championship Wrestling effective immediately. Florida Championship Wrestling programming, which was taped last Thursday in Tampa, Florida, will cease to air on the network in three weeks.

Everyone involved with Florida Championship Wrestling will relocate to WWE's homebase in Stamford, Connecticut until a further decision regarding the developmental program is made.

WWE employees were given the impression that a developmental promotion will ultimately open in Connecticut with the possibility of a second at an undetermined location.

Unsurprising in my opinion, given that developmental territory changes have always occurred with a change in management. Wonder how many will make the cut to the new developmental territory. Not a lot made the jump from DSW and OVW if I remember correctly.
 
Crying?

Here's Kotre:

Not crying, I just think this is a completely stupid move, but for none of the reasons (i.e. I love FCW) you'd probably expect. I can elaborate, but I'll save it for non-spam. Suffice to say FCW's replacement will still kick ass regardless of the name and location change.
 
Again. The fuck? I don't think anyone really cares.

Hoping that this FCW thing isn't gone for good. Maybe a new developmental somewhere.

You care. That's you feel the need to swear. That's why you responded. That's why you gave me a negative rep. and so on...and so on...and so on...

FCW was shit. Shit wrestlers. Shit announcers. Shit arena. Shit everything. The whole thing smelt of cheap indy tripe. Put these guys on NXT where they belong and where they can be seen.

Your's sincerely. MR Ferguson
 
1. Good riddance FCW. You never really made a single star, because you were shit.

2. Storm Wrestling Academy. New Developmental territory. Please make this happen.

3. I kinda like this Mr. Ferguson gimmick poster. hopefully he ventures out into other sections.

Sorry wrong, there have been plenty of stars who came through FCW. I can name one top star already. John Effin Cena ring a bell? Number 2 I agree with.

John Cena never had anything to do with FCW. He was in OVW, and by the time FCW opened, he was a multi-time WWE/World Heavyweight Champion who was already making movies.

FCW opened in 2007.
 
Sheamus was in FCW, no? I'm really not entirely sure.

Also, Mr. Ferguson is my new best friend.

Well there ya go. Sheamus.

Granted, he's probably the only one you can think of that could qualify as a star, but yeah.
Sheamus is the closest to a guy being made by FCW. He spent 5 years or so in Europe before signing a developmental deal and being in FCW for a while. Same with non-star Drew McIntyre. Wade Barrett to a lesser extent as well.

But look at the theme, these guys all learned their craft internationally, then came to FCW (where what they learned is unknown), before getting over in WWE.
