Nice intro to the show ICW! I really enjoyed the entire show. The AMW/Simply Priceless tag team match was good. The amount of domination shown by Storm at first was good. The father/son relationship is used in the commentary and I like it. The back and forth action throughout the middle of the match was good. The finish with AMW hitting the Death Sentence was a good way to end the match and advance AMW.
The Madison Rayne promo was okay, I didn't like the ending of it. "When it rains it pours...and Madison Rayne is here" just seemed a little weird.
Rayne vs. Maryse wasn't too bad of a match either. Madison Rayne was very strong in the beginning and it seemed a lot like James Storm in the beginning of the last match. I understand that you're trying to make Rayne seem very dominant in her debut in this match and I liked it. Maryse didn't get much offense into the match, and her defense in the match wasn't very strong either. Madison Rayne won this match very easily.
Low Ki's attack of Kazarian was a good way to get Low Ki some cheap heat. The heat was good and helped build Low Ki up a bit more.
Aries vs. Lethal looks very good. Some good respect was shown between the two before the match. There was a lot of back and forth action in the match. Aries was doing some good heel moves to get heat from the crowd in this one, especially when Lethal was on the outside. I really liked the heat that Aries seemed to be getting. The two close finishes proved that either of these two very gifted competitors could win this match. I was happy to see Aries walk out with the win though. The finish seemed good to close out the match.
The interview with the Miz really showed the Miz's personality at it's finest and hyped up the main event. Ken Doane/Miz is sure to be good. I have always liked both wrestlers. The exchange of fists to start the match off was a good way to show that both men really want to advance. The action was very good back and forth and at certain points each wrestler would gain an advantage, but the advantage would switch very often in the match. The finish was good. A leg drop from Doane to Miz was a great way to end the show and to advance Doane to the next round. Good job with this main event and the entire show!

First thing I've got to say.. Production themes. I watch FCW every week and I couldn't even give you an idea what "Monster Rock" sounds like. Much less a Dale Oliver TNA theme, partly because other than AJ Styles' song, every TNA production theme sounds exactly the same, and partly because it's a genericish song with a generic name. I'd cut back on the use of production tracks to the absolute minimum
AMW winning is definately the right move. AMW and Beer Money are two of the best tag teams of the modern era and definately the best thing to ever come from TNA.
Now I;ve got a real problem with this. Madison Rayne does not have a theme song written by FCW! You're making stuff up!!
Madison Rayne is definately the right choice to go over here. Hell of a worker, she is.
Mark Coleman is a referee? As in, UFC Hall of Famer Mark Coleman?
I love that Dusty is speaking his own unique language on commentary. it really adds to the commentary that Dusty is typed in Dustyish, because it forces you ta reed it liek da dweem, eff you wheel.
Aries going over is the right call. I'm liking the youth movement of FCW and the way things are progressing with the tournaments.
I am actually shocked Ken Doane beat The Miz. I feel like Ken Doane is the biggest mistake WWE has made in recent memory, taking a young, athletic guy like him with all the potential in the world.. and making him a male cheerleader. Dolph Ziggler was only able to overcome it by completely changing his appearance.. and unfortunately, Ken and the other three were not. Him being pushed in FCW is a very good thing.
Overall, I'm liking the evolution of FCW, how things are progressing. It's going to take several more shows to get a feel of how the federation is going to look, and it'll probably take the first "raids" by ICW to get a real feel of how the company works, but overall, it's looking good at this point.
