As a curiosity, did FCW ever start the tapings for broadcast on Sunshine Network?

Thanks,

Dunno. There's no show listing for FCW yet, though. :-/

I thought they couldn't start doing TV tapings yet because basically the arena they were using wasn't up to code.  They didn't have restrooms or anything like that in place yet, so they have to renovate first.

Some news!

Your News: FCW TV Testing!

My Views: Well apparently SOMETHING is going right for the clusterfuck known as Florida Championship Wrestling. They did a trial TV taping front of an empty building, basically to get guys who had never worked a TV taping familiar with the process as well as test camera angles and production techniques. That makes a ton of sense and it is nice to see something resembling a positive step for a developmental program that has gone down the shitter. Sorry, my opinion on the singular developmental territory will not change, and they are giving me no reason too. Anyway, the good news is that they apparently have a timeslot on the local CW affiliate waiting for them and according to this email received, that are FINALLY set to go: On Thursday, July 17, at 7:30 PM, history will be made at the new FCW Arena in Tampa. FCW will tape its debut television show for future broadcast. Tickets for this special evening are very limited. Tickets will only be available at the door starting at 4:00 PM on the day-of-show. On hand to join in on the festivities will be WWE Superstars John Cena and Chris Jericho. Plus, WWE Diva Kelly Kelly will be in attendance. Last, but definitely not least, WWE Hall-of-Famers "Nature Boy" Ric Flair, "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes, Rocky Johnson and Gerry Brisco are also scheduled to participate in this very special. It is about time!
