TONS OF WWE DEVELOPMENTAL NEWS UPDATES FROM FLORIDA INCLUDING THE DEVELOPMENTAL STAR THAT WORKED WITH BIG SHOW AND FLOYD MAYWEATHER LAST WEEK TO PUT THEIR ANGLE TOGETHER
All of the former OVW-based World Wrestling Entertainment developmental talents have reported to Florida Championship Wrestling with the exception of Atlas Da Bone (knee injury) and Matt Cappotelli, who is still battling brain cancer. Developmental talents have been told to be prepared to attend the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony and Wrestlemania XXIV in Orlando and to dress accordingly for the events.
As reported last week in the PWInsider.com Elite section, Matt Sydal was sent to TV to work with Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Big Show as something of a stand-in for all of Mayweather's physical interactions with Show during angles so Mayweather could see and understand the blocking of what was being asked of him to perform firsthand.
Talents that have made the move to Tampa have privately note that things seem a little less organized than they were in Louisville, partially because of the influx of so many talents being cycled on and off live shows without the structure of weekly storylines.
The PWInsider.com Elite section currently features an exclusive 40+ minute interview with former WWE developmental and TNA star Cassidy Riley discussing his experiences in the WWE developmental system, the James Boys tag team, communication between WWE management and developmental talents, whether criticism of Al Snow as an OVW trainer was fair, Mike Bucci's work heading developmental, Ty Bailey replacing Bucci, who Riley felt should have gotten the nod instead, the end of Ohio Valley Wrestling, the one factor that several recently released developmental talents all shared, future plans and more.

There are five rings set up at the FCW school, so there is a ton of room for everyone to train at the same time. Four of the rings are in a different room that is separated from the section of the building that will be used for live FCW TV when it launches, which is said to much smaller and more intimate than the Davis Arena in Louisville.
The latest word on FCW TV debuting is "after Wrestlemania" with some talent under the impression it will finally launch in either late April or early May on Tampa-based CW 44, formerly WTOG.
Scheduled for tonight's FCW event in New Port Saint Richey at Bourbon Street is FCW champ Jake Hager vs. Giant Titan in a No DQ match, Nick Nemeth & Brad Allen (with former Diva Search contender Taryn Terrell) vs. Heath Miller & Jack Gabriel, Hade Vansen & Chris Gray vs. Rycklon & Colt Cabana, Jay Bradley vs. Bryan Kelly, Sinn Bowdee & Kafu vs. Shawn Spears & Charles Evans, a Diva Battle Royal, Andrew Vein vs. Johnny Curtis, Stu Bennett & Drew McIntyre vs. Gabe Tuft & Matt Sydal, Justin ‘Ox’ LaRoche vs. Lupe.
