WWE EVP Triple H refutes false reports of FCW's closing

[Jose Tortilla]

Monday night, an unreliable online news source published an erroneous report that WWE was shutting down operations of our developmental facility, Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW). In order to set the record straight, WWE.com interviewed WWE’s Executive Vice President of Talent, Paul Levesque (also known as WWE Superstar Triple H) to address this issue.

“It is absolutely not true. FCW is not closing,” Triple H said. “I don’t know how the rumor started but I believe it’s a situation where the ‘dirt sheets’ want to believe they have the scoop on everything. If anything, we are in the process of ramping up our entire developmental system. It’s the lifeblood of our company. It’s what feeds our future and in no way are we going to close it down.”

Levesque also addressed plans to relocate training or FCW TV tapings out of its home of Tampa, Fla.

“There are plans in the works, but nothing definitive I can discuss right now,” he said. “Shortly after WrestleMania, there will be a major announcement about our developmental system.”

He continued, “WWE’s developmental system is being revamped, not shut down. If anything, it’s going to get bigger and better than ever. WWE Developmental cultivates the future talent of WWE. By no means is it going to get smaller or shut down.”

too bad

It depends on how they revamp it. If they keep it as the same old shit I'm with Dolph.

 

[Jose Tortilla]

True, it needs a kick up the ass. Make it bigger, make it like Heat or Velocity or something..
Not on TV, but just bigger.

 

[seabs]

I'd rather they sorted the infrastructure out such as getting better recruitment and trainers in. People who actually know the WWE style.

Legends or something. Get them off TV and in the FCW. New contract, still a job, still with WWE.

A revamp defo neeeded and I reckon it'd make good TV if they showed it I mean cant be any worse that Superstars, SD or RAW atm! LOL

 

[Jose Tortilla]

Haha true, they have some very good talents over there.

Exactly people like Nash and Foley showing these guys how to structure a promo, then you'd have Waltman and Kane to show them how to structure different styles of matches. Not saying those exact names but you get the idea.

Precisely and it'd make for some interesting watching as the talent developed and things I mean they could run it as an extra show and do away with Superstars imo as half the ppl on there never get showcased on SD or RAW often and are technically future prospects for the company.

True, maybe put them in one brand or something. See how things work out.

Exactly plus with the TV time it'd give them exposure to the casual wrestling fan plus they could then get some feuds on the go and it could improve the crossover from ppl being in the development territory to mainstream as the casual wrestling fan would have more of an idea of who ppl were and what they could do.

They need to fire the dumb fucks that comes up with the names for all of their talent
