Oh god we're not pretending FCW was good now were we? Total disaster to work at. Shows were stale as hell. Countless squandered talent. What a mess. It wasn’t amazing and I don’t think this documentary ever says that. It was about how a lot of the current superstars started out in the WWE system. I would look for the episodes when they were airing and I was always entertained by them.

Things learned from this documentary: We can hold Freddie Prince Jr. and Johnny Ace responsible for the Bellas. Charlotte Flair looked light years different in FCW. Must have put on some weight somewhere. Paige existed in FCW, but not important enough to be featured ahead of the Bellas. Or to be, y’know, INTERVIEWED. There’s a story about Seth and him almost getting turfed here that I’m not familiar with. More here, please. It’s an OK doc, but very soft. OVW was never shut down, Richie Steamboat wrestled into the modern NXT era, Bill DeMott was a thing and this did not exist just to improve the Bellas. Now, we can judge for ourselves if FCW programming is featured on the Network, but Lord only knows. I don't know if Charlotte put on weight, but it's pretty obvious she's put in countless hours at her plastic surgeons office.

There’s a story about Seth and him almost getting turfed here that I’m not familiar with. More here, please. I think there's more detail on that in one of the Shield docos. It's basically him butting heads with management on a regular basis, at least until the transition to NXT happened. Interesting! I’ll have to run it down as Seth really just seemed like an afterthought on the Shield behind Dean and Roman until the heel turn. So, I’m understandably curious.

Things learned from this documentary: Charlotte Flair looked light years different in FCW. Must have put on some weight somewhere. Say, two places? You can say that. Explains why the world revolves around her, between FCW and the main roster, she developed her own gravitational pull.

I think cm punk said something about it that the trio we got on the main roster wasn't the original line up. Have I pulled that memory out of my ass or is there some truth to it ? and just on the documentary, it showed to me that when the FCW wrestlers had to think on their feet and come up with their own promos, what they said might have been rubbish but how they said showed they had personality.

Countless squandered talent. Curious as to who you have in mind with this? Verily, Sweet Papi Sanchez, Ethan "Wide Barrett" Levin, and Count Franklin Furter would have ushered in yon fabled New Boom Period.

Sad to hear them all saying at the end how much they're looking forward to returning to Tampa at wrestlemania and performing in a full stadium and "their careers coming full circle". I especially feel for Drew.

No joke! If I didn't watch wrestling, I would never in a million years believe that these two pictures were of the same person.

Granted, that's a horrible photo on the right, but she looked so much better during her first couple years in the company.

I don't have the Network, but this is airing on FS1 right now. So I figured I'd bump this. Anybody watching it?

Bellas: "Our grandfather was full-blooded Italian."
Their grandfather is Tracy Smothers?

Without even breaking.......a sweat Can't believe the BOZOS in charge never gave him the rocket-push! He was actually a contestant on a reality show here in Canada on the score. It was to find the next broadcaster to something like that. He always wore wrestling shirts and formed an alliance I'm pretty sure he called them the shield or another stable name. He made it to the final I believe.

It's too early for Charlotte to register on the Missy Hyatt Scale!
