I have been watching a lot of FCW Wrestling recently on Youtube and I was wondering why is it not on T.V?

It seems to have quality wrestling more so then Raw, NXT,Superstars and Smackdown combined now dont get me wrong where the main shows sometimes have 1 or 2 good matches FCW seems to have all good matches and they dont seem to bother much with storylines.

That is my opinion what is your's

FCW does air on TV dude. It airs on the local stations in the Tampa / Orlando area.

Unless you knew that and you're asking why they don't air it Nationally and Internationally.

Sure if there was enough demand for it to air nationally and internationally it would,Guess there's not.Wish it did air Internationally as watching it on Youtube is a bit naff.

Hopefully they will air it on the Network when it arrives, but I do agree it would be cool if it airs internationally, the UK already gets NXT and Superstars which are both enjoyable.

It could cost more to produce than they bring in for it. It's like how OVE is only seen in Ohio and Kentucky

I have no doubt that FCW will be aired on the WWE Network when that is up and running. They'd be silly not to really since it's a great little show.

It's not watchable on TV, period. It doesn't have the production that the televised shows have. I don't think it's set up as well as the televised shows are for TV despite the fact that they air it. Of course they can bump that stuff up and make it watchable but they need a small training ground for guys, I don't think FCW is about making a name for yourself in most cases.

It's like being a comedian, and FCW and indies are the equivalent of working small clubs. If you're working on material for arenas and DVDs, you test that material out in clubs first until it's refined enough for the big stage. Turning a club into an arena just makes it so that there's one less club to test your stuff in.

I think it's a mistake to air it on that kind of a level, but I'm sure when the network goes live, FCW would probably be on it.

I think you mis-read the article. They will be taped at the same place. It doesn't say they are being 'joined' together. So they may well remain two separate shows.

I don't think we'll see NXT merging with FCW at all. I just think it's a way of making both shows better. FCW's quality of presentation will improve, and NXT will hopefully get better crowds.

I'm glad FCW will be getting a bigger crowd, it's hard to tell who's over with the (100??) crowd at the old FCW

I honestly don't think there is even 100 at the show.

I disagree I would keep it as is just to separate it from the big shows keep it a simple wrestling show not a smaller version of RAW. I think fans would enjoy something different. It's like College Football, there are guys who are gonna move up to the National Football League and they are beside the guys everybody knows won't make it but at least they'll get decent exposure. By the time the guys move up most people know about them from the beginning and have respect for them. As long as they don't tape at Universal Studios I'm fine with a small venue like the ROH shows.

It is on TV.... but only in the local Florida markets for the most where as it more the less a regional promotion...
Also it on you tube and other sites you can find videos...

I watched an episode last week that had Richie Steamboat take on Antonio Cessaro in a 30 min iron man match that was outstanding and blew away anythin Raw Smackdown or Impact have done this week. Add that to an impressive roster and the Brilliant Dean Ambrose then i do wish that FCW was more assecible. I have to watch it on you tube too

Thats easy, it can only be broadcast on ten networks due to the capacity of the video board in the production truck. Trust me, my uncle works for wwe he works in the truck he knows exact info and said I can share it with you guys. So any questions PM me.

He probably works with my cousin. She drives the FCW video production truck. She said all the guys she work with are creepy fuckers. Is your uncle the one with big gut and the greasy hair, the false leg with the high heel shoe carved into it or the dirty vest that doesn't cover his "I sucked Vince's cock to get this job" tattoo and hairy back?
