Notes:
FCW might have blown it with Tyson Kidd losing cleanly to DH Smith in the first match of their feud that had been building for weeks.  The crowd was looking for a screwy finish so the feud can continue, but unless the plan is to take Tyson off the FCW roster permanently, the finish made absolutely no sense.....Escobar kicked out of the first Hennig-plex....This was Sebastian Slater’s first match back at the FCW arena since injuring his knee in October/November....The middle rope broke during the Escobar-Smith match but they managed to work through it....I was surprised to see Ryback get squashed by Ortiz rather quickly.  It looked just a few weeks as though they were quite high on him....While filming a ringside bit with the announcers, Dusty Rhodes and Josh Matthews, the crowd had a loud “Colt Cabana” chant in tribute to recently released FCW icon Scotty Goldman.  This seems to get under the skin of Dusty.  After the bit was taped, he asked us what we were saying so we replied “Colt Cabana” to which Dusty quickly snarled back “he’s gone” and made the thumb hit-the-road gesture.
