My brother and I attended a Florida Championship Wrestling house show in Melbourne FL on June 9th, 2010. This was the second show FCW has run this year in Melbourne. For those don’t know, FCW is the developmental promotion for the WWE, based in Tampa, FL. My brother and I enjoy watching the weekly TV show and house shows, as it gives us an early look at the future Superstars of the WWE.
Before the show, fans had the opportunity to meet WWE Superstars The Miz and Christian, as well as NXT Rookies Daniel Bryan, Heath Slater, and Justin Gabriel. The NXT Rookies were wearing the “N” armbands they sported on Monday Night RAW. When I asked Bryan if their faction had a name, he said, “You’ll have to keep watching to find out.”
The crowd had high energy for most of the evening, even during the undercard matches. The event was held at the Melbourne Auditorium and I estimate there were 400-450 fans in attendance.
