FCW taping results - lordsofpain.net:
I can't believe they turned The Dudebusters face though. They're much better suited as heels. But I am glad they're turning Hennig heel, hopefully it'll help him with his mic work.
And so Gabriel's long reign as champ ends..He's had the second longest reign next to Jack Swagger. I'm glad Riley's the new champion. He's easily one of the best mic workers in that facility, has a good look to him and is a decent in-ring worker.FCW TV Taping Results 03/18/2010
FCW Arena - Tampa, FL
Dark Match: Titus O’Neill pinned Cable Jones
Week One (Airdate 03/28/2010)
Match 1: Donny Marlow (with Tamina) pinned Big E. Langston
Match 2: Johnny Curtis pinned Leo Kruger
Match 3: Joe Hennigpinned Derrick Bateman
Match 4: Triple Threat FCW Championship Match: Alex Riley defeated Justin Gabriel & Wade Barrett when he pinned Gabriel to become the new FCW champion. Barrett hit Gabriel with his Fireman’s Carry Slam finisher then pulled a dazed Riley on top of Gabriel for the pin.
Week Two (airdate 04/04/2010)
Match 1: Eli Cottonwood pinned Jacob Novak
Joe Hennig came out to vent about his and Brett DiBiase’s tag team championship loss to the Uso’s at an FCW live event in Crystal River, FL on 03/13/2010. He stated he carried the team and that DiBiase was never 100% and that’s why they lost the belts. DiBiase came out and a shouting match ensued. DiBiase got in the ring and challenged Hennig, but Hennig retreated to the back. This appears to be a heel turn for Hennig.
Match 2: 6 Diva Tag Team Match: Liviana, Courtney Taylor, & Naomi Night defeated Savannah, Aksana, & A.J. Lee when Night pinned Savannah
Alex Riley came to talk about his FCW title win. He brought out Wade Barrett and announced that his rich family were the financers of Barrett’s assaults on Justin Gabriel and that the final payout is now owed. Alex the called out Naomi Night, Courtney Taylor, Liviana, and Rosa Mendes who all came out carrying a giant check made out to Wade Barrett. The hilarious bit ended with Barrett telling Riley that he had better hope that no one else outbids Riley for his services.

Notes About The Show:
The ring announcer for the evening was one of the newest FCW Divas, Jamie Keyes.
The announce team for all three shows was Byron Saxton & Abraham Washington
Ata Maivia, mother of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and daughter of Hall Of Famer “High Chief” Peter Maivia was once again in attendance.
Alex Riley became the 9th person to hold the FCW Championship since the reemergence of the title back in 2008. He now joins Jack Swagger, Sheamus, Joe Hennig, Eric Escobar, Drew McIntyre, Tyler Reks, Heath Slater, & Justin Gabriel on the list of those who have had the honor to wear the belt.
The tag title match between The Uso’s and Baretta & Croft became my FCW Match Of The Year (so far) surpassing the match between Justin Gabriel & Kaval a few weeks ago. Truly amazing work by all four.
Lots of changes during this show as Baretta & Croft, as well as Heath Slater, solidified their babyface turns as Joe Hennig turned heel.
Those noticeably absent from the show included Alberto Banderas, Darren Young, David Otunga, Kaval, Michael Tarver, Percy Watson, Richie Steamboat, Serena, Vance Archer, and Wes Brisco

I feel lightheaded all of a sudden. Like the blood rushed from my head for some reason.
That made my day.
