Chapter 12, Florida Championship Wrestling
Luo Li Tianze accompanied Wang Xiaowei for two days, and on the third day, he followed AJ to take a flight from New York to Miami to Florida.
After three hours of flight, I successfully arrived in Miami. Since FcW was in Tampa City, I transferred to Tampa City, more than 300 kilometers away.
Tampa is a harbor city on the west coast of the Florida Peninsula, located next to Tampa Bay and connected to the Gulf of Mexico. The urban agglomeration includes St. Petersburg and Clear Water. The Tampa urban agglomeration is the second largest urban agglomeration in Florida after Miami.
When he arrived in Tampa, Li Tianze felt that he was back in summer. Compared with the low temperature of five or six degrees in New York, the temperature in Tampa was above 20 degrees.
FcW belongs to the Florida Regional Wrestling League. For nearly half a century, Florida Champion Wrestling has been the main wrestling promotion group dedicated to the country and has become a development league for training future professional superstars.
Although FCW is a regional competition, it will also be broadcast live on TV and online for audiences across the United States. It is the wrestling competition with the most audiences in the United States except WWe.
The purpose of Florida champion wrestling is to cultivate the next generation of wrestling superstars, and the competition will be held in cities such as Tampa, Miami, St. Petersburg, Jacksonville, Orlando and West Palm Beach, with a wide range of radiation.
Fcw is now the only development alliance of WWe. All newcomers from WWe have to go to Fcw for trial training. If they perform well, they will get the opportunity to enter WWe.
If Li Tianze wants to enter WWe, he must use FCW as a springboard and make a name for FCW in order to be favored by WWe and enter the coveted WWe.
FCW is very famous in Tampa. When the taxi driver learned that Li Tianze and the others were going to FCW headquarters, he took them to his destination without saying a word. The taxi driver was excited to introduce FCW and Tampa City along the way.
After the taxi driver's language bombing, Li Tianze and AJ finally arrived at the FCW headquarters.
Looking at the taxi far away, the two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. The taxi driver was so enthusiastic that they almost got off the bus early.
"Good luck to you."
He handed the letter of introduction to the security guard, and when the security guard released the letter, he blessed the two of them.
According to the security guidelines, Li Tianze and AJ came to the FCW president's office and knocked on the door to enter. There were also many old photos of wrestling in this office.
FcW President Steve Keren is a veteran wrestling star. FcW's predecessor, NW's number one superstar, and is the wrestler with the most NW titles in NW history.
Steve was not born in a good era. At that time, Naw was not the WWe Development League, but only wrestling competitions in the Florida area. But it is undeniable that Steve is strong and more than enough to teach newcomers like Li Tianze.
"President Steve."
Sitting in front of Steve, you can feel a lot of pressure from his strong body, Li Tianze and the others were a little restrained.
Steve was unexpectedly kind and after signing the report of the two, he began to talk about FCW's arrangements for the two.
"aj This is the role positioning given to you by the company, the girl next door, lively and cute, and the playful personality that is not afraid of the world."
Steve first handed her AJ's planner. While AJ was looking through it, Steve said: "You have to be fearless, just like Avril, who came to the United States alone to develop and eventually become a generation of queens."
In 2001, 17-year-old Avril left her Canadian hometown and moved to Los Angeles, California, and began to work hard in the American music scene. With her fearless spirit, she eventually became a world-class female singer and a little queen of music scenes.
The roles that FCW has designed for AJ are similar to Avril. The main reason is that the two have similar appearances and personalities, and they believe they will be loved by the audience.
"You will challenge the Bella sisters to compete with Nicky Bella for the FCW Queen Championship."
Steve finished speaking, waiting for AJ's reaction.
AJ was not afraid, but was very excited. The Bella sisters she had heard from many people in the youth training camp. They were the two best newcomers in the youth training camp last year, especially Nicky Bella, who many people think that she will become the next Tschestrettos.
Compared to Nicky Bella, her sister Briebella is much inferior. Under Nicky Bella's aura, she can only temporarily become a supporting role for her sister.
Fcw arranges AJ as his sister opponent, which is enough to prove that Fcw and Wwe attach importance to her.
"President Steve, I will definitely let the company know that choosing to cultivate me is the wisest decision of the company." Aj is full of confidence, and her reaction is also appreciated by Steve.
After solving the role arrangement of AJ, it was finally Li Tianze's turn.
When Steve looked at Li Tianze, Li Tianze straightened his body and acted neither humble nor arrogant. Steve nodded with satisfaction.
"Li, your situation is quite special. This is about your character planning. You can take a look first." Steve pushed Li Tianze's planning case in front of him.
Li Tianze looked through the plans related to his future destiny, and became more surprised the more he looked at it. Unexpectedly, the company even attached more importance to him than AJ.
"Now in FCW, there are three excellent singles players, the current FCW men's singles champion Jack Swager, the next champion contender Seth Rollins, and Dean Ambrose who just joined FCW three months ago."
Steve said: "Your opponents are Rollins and Ambrose. You will join their battle to compete for the FCW champion No. 1 challenger qualification and launch an attack on FCW champion Jack Swager."
Li Tianze raised his eyebrows. The role positioning arranged by FCW for him was a bit similar to Jeff Hardy and Randy Orton, competing for the qualification of the first challenger of the WWe Intercontinental Championship. Of course, the value of FCW’s championship is definitely not comparable to any gold belt of WWe.
When Steve mentioned Ambrose, Li Tianze couldn't help but smile. He was old enemy. It seemed that if he wanted to succeed in FCW, he had to step past Ambrose and step on him to the top.
"Jack is going to wwe soon. I don't have much time left for you. Do you have the confidence to compete with them?" Steve asked seriously. The main reason why he was eager to choose the next championship contender was that Jack Swag was about to sign wwe soon.
Li Tianze said seriously without hesitation: "I will become the next FCW champion."
Steve smiled. He was very satisfied with Li Tianze's answer. He was worthy of being the Chinese boy Max valued. Perhaps he would be as successful as Max said.
"What a lucky Chinese boy." Steve thought to himself that if he hadn't forgotten, the last one who was appreciated by Max and was vigorously cultivated was John Cena.
Li Tianze planned and pondered with his role. The wrestling circle was like the entertainment industry. The same script was given to different actors. Some actors could play the role alive and drive the whole drama to become a big hit. Some actors would play the role very badly, making the whole drama a bad movie.
The script has been given to you, and whether it can be successful can only be done by yourself.
Li Tianze and AJ were about to leave Steve's office and go to the company's accommodation, but Steve called them again.
"Oh, look at my brain, my memory is getting worse and worse."
Steve slapped his head and said, "I almost forgot to ask for your opinions on your music."
Li Tianze and AJ sat back in front of Steve again.
Steve turned on the computer on his desk, turned on the music software, and played a piece of music.
"Let’s Light It Up, this is the music prepared by the company for you. I wonder if you are satisfied or not?" Steve looked at AJ, obviously asking for AJ's answer.
Let’s Light It �
Seeing that AJ had no objection, Steve looked at Li Tianze: "Li, your situation is quite special. You know, we have never met Chinese wrestlers, so the company wants you to choose for yourself, and you think it is suitable for your appearance music."
The music that appears is very important for a wrestler and will almost become a mark of a wrestler. As long as the music starts, the audience will know who will appear next. The music that appears can be regarded as the music business card of a wrestler.
The music that appeared was bgm. Li Tianze had already thought about it. He took out a U disk from his body and handed it to Steve.
Steve inserted (harmoniously) into the U disk, clicked on a song stored in it, and a song with a magnificent rhythm echoed in the office.
"President Steve, this is the music I chose to play." Li Tianze said.
Steve asked: "This song is very good, and the lyrics are very consistent with your identity. I don't know what the song is called?"
Li Tianze proudly said: "The successor of the dragon."
That's right, the music that Li Tianze gave to Steve was the English version of the successor of the dragon. The reason why he chose the English version was because he needed more Americans. Foreigners could hear the lyrics clearly and knew that he was from China and was the successor of the dragon.
"It's very good, the song is good and the lyrics are good, and the singer's voice is perfect." Steve nodded to agree with Li Tianze's choice.
Li Tianze breathed a sigh of relief, and in a good mood he gradually relaxed: "Actually, the successor of this English version of Dragon is sang by myself."
Steve was surprised when he heard this, and looked at Li Tianze carefully, as if he wanted to get to know him again.
"Lee, you shouldn't come to FCW." Steve said with a serious expression.
Li Tianze felt a thrill in his heart, thinking that the successor of this English version of Dragon had offended Steve.
Steve suddenly smiled, and his serious expression disappeared in an instant: "You should go to the America's Got Talent because you are a singer who was delayed by wrestling."
