Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) is a professional wrestling promotion based on the former independent Championship Wrestling from Florida promotion, which operated from 1961 until 1987.[1] Currently, the promotion serves as the official developmental territory for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).[2][3]
History
The promotion, in its current form, was started by Steve Keirn in 2007[4] to be WWE's second developmental territory when they ended their relationship with the Georgia-based Deep South Wrestling in early 2007.[5] It became their sole developmental territory in early 2008 when they ceased affiliation with Ohio Valley Wrestling.[3]
FCW's debut show was on June 26, 2007 at Tampa, Florida's Dallas Bull. A 21 man Battle Royal was held during the show, to crown the first ever FCW Southern Heavyweight Champion.[6] The next year the FCW Florida Heavyweight Championship was introduced,[7] with Jake Hager becoming the first champion at a February 15 show after surviving a Battle Royal and defeating Ted DiBiase, Jr..[8] The FCW Florida Tag Team Championship was also introduced in February, with the Puerto Rican Nightmares (Eddie Colón and Eric Perez) beating Steven Lewington and Heath Miller to win it in the finals of a one night tournament.[9] The singles titles were later unified, keeping the "Florida Heavyweight" name.[10]
Their weekly television program debuted on Bright House Sports Network as of October 5, 2008 and can be seen every Sunday night at 6:00pm.[11]
On July 7, 2008, WWE confirmed that FCW was based on the original independent, Championship Wrestling from Florida promotion, which operated from 1961 until 1987.[1]
Championships
Championship reigns are determined by professional wrestling matches, in which competitors are involved in scripted rivalries. These narratives create feuds between the various competitors, which cast them as villains and heroes. Some reigns were held by champions using a ring name, while others used their real name.
