On the week of its biggest show to date this Friday, Florida Championship Wrestling held its weekly Tuesday night event at Bourbon Street Night Club, 4331 US 19N in New Port Richey. WWE legend Jim "the Anvil" Neidhart and the Big Show were among the many in attendance.

(1) "Carnival Freak" Sinn Bowdee defeated Matt O’Neal.

Bowdee felt he needed to school the former NFL player in wrestling, so he went for a waistlock but O’Neal countered out. O’Neal got control with a waistlock but Bowdee went to the ropes to cause a break. Bowdee kept calling O’Neal "Mr. Football" as he locked in a side headlock but O’Neal escaped and slammed Bowdee to the mat. Bowdee went to the floor to speak with himself and O’Neal went to grab him but Bowdee grabbed him and hit a Hot Shot for a major match turner. Bowdee went to wear down O’Neal with a front facelock but O’Neal powered Bowdee to a corner where he placed him on the second rope. But Bowdee kicked him in the ribs and dropped an elbow for two. Bowdee went for a suplex but O’Neal blocked it so Bowdee dropped into a front facelock. Again O’Neal went to escape and he hit a standing suplex but was unable to go for the pin. Instead both men got to their feet where O’Neal took over with shoulder tackles and clotheslines. O’Neal went for a powerslam but Bowdee countered into swinging DDT to get the win.

(2) "The Thoroughbred" Johnny Curtis defeated Big Rob.

To shock of many, the fans cheered Big Rob when he came out to the ring. Early on Curtis tried to control Rob as a young gentleman in a white suit came to ringside to analyze things. Rob ended up on the floor as Curtis hit a dropkick but soon Curtis hit the floor literally when he missed a slingshot tope. Rob brought Curtis back into the ring and the power moves began as Rob attempted to destroy Curtis’ left arm. But nothing Rob did would make Curtis submit. Curtis was able to hit Rob with three clotheslines and finally got him off his feet with a leg lariat. But Rob got to his feet and went for another arm submission but Curtis hooked him and got the pinfall victory.

(3) "South City Thriller" Hade Vansen defeated Gabe Tuft.

This was Tuft’s first singles bout in FCW after debuting last week as Johnny Curtis’ partner and he started off fast, taking it to Vansen with punches and kicks. Vansen took a powder to the floor and when Tuft went to get him, Vansen tripped him. But when they came back to the ring Tuft took over once more, going for a Torture Rack but Vansen raked his eyes. Vansen cleared the cobwebs and began to attack Tuft’s upper body and the top buckle which he tried to pull off. Tuft tried to fight back as Vansen used choke holds so Vansen hit an exploder suplex for two. Vansen locked in a rear chinlock going for the victory but Tuft fought to his feet, only to run right into Vansen’s left elbow. Vansen decided to end the match with a superplex but Tuft had other ideas and sent Vansen back into the ring. But Tuft’s missile dropkick was met by a dropkick from Vansen in the ring. Vansen went for a suplex but Tuft countered into a back suplex of his own. Vansen went to win with a spinning heel kick but Tuft hit a clothesline and he locked in the Torture Rack once more. But when Tuft began to move around the ring, Vansen’s leg clipped the referee. When the referee turned away Vansen freed himself with another rake of the eyes and he rolled up Tuft with a handful of tights.

It was time for the world famous "HANDSOME" HEATH MILLER HAPPY HOUR with special guest Jake Hager. Miller talked about Hager’s amateur background at the University of Oklahoma in football and wrestling. Hager talked about his entry into the 20 man battle royal this Friday to help crown the FCW Florida heavyweight champion. But they were interrupted by FCW Diva Victoria Crawford who said she had been watching Hager for the last months and thought he had the tools to get to the championship. But she said the one thing Hager needed was some guidance from a smart, classy lady like herself. But before he could accept the offer, Michael Thompson crashed the party with some Valentine’s Day items for Ms. Crawford. He also serenaded her with a selection from the Backstreet Boys collection. But before Crawford could accept any offer from Thompson, Hager kicked he crap out of him. But the fun wasn’t over when Hager’s old rival "Stampede Kid" TJ Wilson came to ringside and got in Hager’s face.

(4) Jake Hager (w/Victoria Crawford) defeated "The Stampede Kid" TJ Wilson.

Wilson and Hager picked up their hostilities right where they left off months ago, going after each other with mat wrestling holds. Hager went to win with an over hand wristlock into a take down while Wilson went for a arm bar submission. Neither man would submit to the other even as Crawford claimed she heard Wilson give it up. Wilson went for a wheel barrel move but Hager held onto Wilson and went backwards into a suplex. This was the opening Hager needed to get total control of the match, with some help from Crawford and some well timed choke holds. Hager went for a body scissor submission as Nattie Neidhart came to ringside to have words with Crawford. It looked like Wilson had someone on his side of the ring as Neidhart stayed for the duration of the match. Wilson escaped the body scissor and went on the attack with several martial arts kicks which energized the crowd. Wilson hit a BlockBuster before locking in the Sharpshooter but Crawford got on the apron to distract the referee. Neidhart came over to get her down as Hager tapped out. Wilson let the hold go and he went up top as a second referee came out to break up the divas’. But he didn’t send Crawford to the back and she went to knock Wilson off the ropes. But Wilson sent her crashing into the back of the sound booth. Wilson slid into the ring and went to pin Hager but Hager dropped to his knees and with help from the ropes in his hands, he got the win.

(5) The Gymini (Jesse & Jake) defeated the Movers & Shakers (Sheamus & Mr. Yamamoto).

This match came about after Jake wrestled Sheamus and Yamamoto interfered. Jesse was watching from ringside and he saved his brother from any further injury. This week the Gymini were ready and took it to their opponents with power moves. This advantage lasted until Jesse was hit in the back by Sheamus and Yamamoto dumped him to the floor. Sheamus and Yamamoto-san made several legal and illegal tags working over Jesse. But Jesse survived it and tagged in Jake who was rearing to go. With Sheamus sent to the floor, the Gymini hit Yamamoto with a double team move to get the win.

Everyone was excited as it was time for the Diva’s Lingerie contest. The following divas’ were involved: WWE Diva search winner Eve Torres, Victoria, Nattie Neidhart, Beverly Mullins, The Bella Twins (Nicole & Brianna), Taryn Terrell and Angela Fong. But before Crawford made it to the ring she was attacked by Neidhart. FCW’s resident ladies man "Handsome" Heath Miller came out to be the judge of the contest. After the Diva’s showed off their lovely outfits, Miller helped as the fans chose the winner, Nicole of the Bella Twins.

(6) Ted DiBiase Jr. defeated Mighty Mikey.

Before this match ever began, "Thee Superstar" Christopher Gray came out to address the public. As this address went on DiBiase and Mikey paced with impatience building in the air. Gray turned his attention to Mikey whom he called Mighty Mouse. Mikey attacked Gray and that allowed DiBiase to attack Mikey. DiBiase went to work on Mikey’s neck with kicks and neckbreaker holds. Mikey fought out of a neckvise submission and he sent DiBiase to the ring apron but when he went to get DiBiase, he was hit with a Hot Shot. This was all DiBiase needed to lock in the Million Dollar Dream. But he didn’t count on Mikey slipping out into a forward roll for two. DiBiase went back to work on the neck as the fans were surprisingly cheering for him. DiBiase went for a superplex but Mikey shoved him off and he hit DiBiase with a Hot Shot and several punches to the jaw. Just when it looked like Mikey had the win, DiBiase locked in the Million Dollar Dream a second time, this time not letting go until Mikey tapped out.

Before the next match, "Rough House" Ralph Mosca and Titan made their way to ringside. He said the challenge issued by Steve Keirn to have Tommy Dreamer seemed to fall through and Mosca was dressed to wrestle and didn’t care who he faced tonight.

(7) "The Natural" Nic Nemeth & "The Campus Legend" Brad Allen defeated Rycklon & Bryan Kelly.

Before the match began the mystery man in the white suit hit the ring. Wesley Adams said he was here to sign all of them, to take them to the promised land of superstardom. He said he wanted all four of them to join his new family, the Adams Family. But he told them to take their time in making the decision. The match finally began with Kelly and Nemeth locking up, well actually Nemeth bailing to the floor to consult with Allen. When Nemeth re-entered the ring and kicked Nemeth right in the gut. He locked in a headlock but when Kelly shoved him off, Nemeth was knocked down by a shoulder tackle. Kelly kept control even pulling down Nemeth’s tights and with help from Rycklon; he cleared the ring with double clotheslines. Nemeth and Allen made for the locker room but came back to the ring just before being counted out. Rycklon made his way into the ring legally and he legally kicked Nemeth’s ass around the ring. But Rycklon took his eyes off Nemeth and he paid when Allen drove Rycklon’s shoulder into the ringpost. Allen and Nemeth made several tags working over the huge left arm but Rycklon refused to submit. Instead he escaped their corner and tagged in Kelly who took the fight to both men with pure adrenaline speed moves. That was until the referee put Rycklon out of the ring and Kelly was hit with a double team move. After the match Ryklon went to help up Kelly but Kelly refused his assist and left alone.

(8) In a handicap match, 7 FT Giant Titan (w/ Mosca) defeated Brandon Groom & Tommy Taylor.

Mosca felt Titan needed to send a message to FCW President Steve Keirn, so he signed this match. Titan went with a pure power attack, slamming both men into the mat. He slammed Groom and then press slammed Taylor on top of Groom. Groom tried to fight back with chops to the chest but Titan lifted his huge boot and sent it into Groom’s face. Titan hit both men with a corner splash. They decided to take turns cutting Titan down with shots to his knees but Titan grabbed hold of Groom and tossed him to the floor. That left Taylor all alone and Titan took him out with a legdrop.

(9) "Handsome" Heath Miller & Steve Lewington defeated "The Puerto Rican Nightmare" Eric Perez & Eddie Colon (Accompanied to the ring by ECW General Manager, Armando Alejandro Estrada). By winning this match they will face WWE tag team champions John Morrison & The Miz this Friday night.

Before the match Mr. Estrada addressed the fans and the FCW locker room. He told the fans he was guaranteeing Perez and Colon would be wrestling for the tag team championship. But before the bell was rung, the referee checked everyone for foreign objects and came up with an eclectic collection of items. Once the Home Depot portion of the evening was taken care of, we finally got to wrestling. Colon and Miller each got two with hands full of ring tights but neither man was caught in the act. Both men raked the other’s eyes and tagged out…to the wrong corners where they were both punched by their opponents. Lewington and Perez tagged in and the quick pace became a power match. Lewington was able to get Perez isolated from Colon as Miller kicked him in the eye and it looked like he was seriously hurt. Miller went to the ropes as the referee checked Perez and Estrada dragged Miller’s leg long enough to allow an attack from behind. Perez and Colon made several tags working over Miller’s neck. Miller refused to submit despite the damage delivered and this only infuriated Estrada as he paced ringside. Miller had a chance to tag out when Perez missed a corner splash but he opted for a two count pin attempt, which he regretted as Perez hit a dropkick. Perez went for a power move but Miller floated over into an inverted DDT and tagged in Lewington just as Perez tagged in Colon. Lewington hit Colon with a rib breaker move but he also knocked over the referee. Perez grabbed Lewington and hit a Hot Shot but the momentum placed Lewington right on top of Colon and Lewington won via pinfall.

(10) In a lights out hardcore match, "Rough House" Ralph Mosca (w/Titan) defeated "the G.O.A.T" David Mercury.

This was a straight up old school American combat Wrestling street fight (ACW was the promotion that ran Bourbon Street for years.) Mosca wasted no time in getting weapons involved, namely a crutch he snapped on Mercury’s back. Mercury fired back with a garbage can shot to Mosca’s head. The match came back into the ring as Mercury split open Mosca’s head with several punches. But Mosca avoided a moonsault and Titan tossed the trash can into Mosca who dented it with Mercury’s head. Mosca found his old friend, barbwire and used it on Mercury’s already bloody head. Mosca dumped Mercury to the floor once more but opted to come back the ring for a bag full of thumb tacks that he sprinkled in the ring. Mosca went for a power bomb but Mercury hit a backdrop and then a slam into the tacks, driving them into Mosca’s head and back. But Mosca had enough left to hit a nut shot and a DDT into the tacks. The crowd asked for it and they got it as Titan handed Mosca a folding table. Mosca laid Mercury on the table and he went up top but Mercury cut him off at the crotch and then the head with a garbage can. Mercury went up to get Mosca but Titan came in and brought Mercury down. Titan power bombed Mercury into the table and then tossed Mosca on top to get the win.
