FCW TELEVISION REPORT: WILLIAM REGAL VERSUS DEAN AMBROSE; MISTER ANTONIO CESARO; AND THE FANS BARK FOR TITUS O'NEIL

By Richard Trionfo on 2011-11-07 18:17:00
We are live on tape from Tampa, Florida and your announcers are Matt ‘The Voice of FCW’ Martlaro and Byron ‘Why do I feel like Don Cornelius when I am with Cameron Lynn and Naomi’ Saxton.

Matt mentions that William Regal will be facing Dean Ambrose tonight. Byron says that he doesn’t know how to call this match. Matt mentions that you have the most unpredictable people in Dean Ambrose facing the villain William Regal.

We go to comments from both men after last week’s show. Dean says that he was very close to the flame and he wants to feel it burn a little. Before Dean can say anything else, Regal attacks Ambrose and other wrestlers try to separate them. Dean asks Regal if that is the hardest that he can hit. He calls it a freaking load of crap.

William Regal says that it is a very strange thing when one gets comfortable with themselves. Regal wipes a tear off his cheek and he says that the tear is not from sorrow, but it is a tear of joy. Regal says that he got so complacent over the last few years as Mr. Entertainment and Mr. Go To Guy. There is a reason why he likes Dean Ambrose so much. It is because he sees a kindred spirit. If there was a man who Regal would drag outside if he didn’t like him and take him into a carpark and set him on fire. Everybody else in FCW would run away. Dean Ambrose would come stand beside him and warm his hands on the bloody flames. Now he is indebted to Ambrose because Dean has awoken something in him that he hasn’t felt for a long time. Regal says that he is bloody glorious about it. He says that he cannot believe that he can feel like this again. Regal says that was the most diabolical man in the history of this business and he has a mind that works as a villain. True villains cannot pretend to be someone else.

Before Regal can say anything else, Ambrose attacks Regal and the wrestlers and officials have to separate them.

Matt and Byron comment on what we just saw and they are almost speechless. They talk about the intensity that we saw in William Regal. Byron wonders if Dean Ambrose will share the same intensity.

We go to footage from earlier today with Maxine talking to the FCW officials about the situation with Richie Steamboat and Husky Harris. She says that she will not tolerate this and she will take care of things personally. She sees Norman Smiley to make sure that Husky and Richie are not allowed in the building. Maxine asks Norman to get Leo Kruger for her.

Maxine asks Leo if he likes his banner. Leo says that it is a little smaller than he expected but it is okay. Maxine tells Leo that he will be defending the FCW Florida title next week. She tells Leo that he can watch the show with her tonight in her office.

Maxine makes a phone call as we go to commercial.
