— Florida Championship Wrestling makes its Melbourne debut Friday February 12, 2010 when the ‘Broken Hearts Tour’ hits the Melbourne Auditorium. The highlight of the show will be a rare meet and greet autograph session with WWE Superstar EDGE from 5:30 – 8:30 pm. The Rated-R Superstar from Smackdown is coming off his impressive win at the Royal Rumble this past Sunday on PPV and is headed to Wrestlemania XXVI for a Heavyweight Title Match. “As president of FCW Wrestling it is an honor to have Edge, the winner of the Royal Rumble at our live event in Melbourne, Fl,” says Steve Keirn. “Also knowing that he is going to be the main event in Wrestlemania XXVI makes it that much more special. This is definitely a once in a lifetime opportunity for Wrestling fans in Melbourne to get up close to one of the biggest Superstars in WWE history,” added Keirn.
— Apparently there is already a wrestling promotion named “NXT”. NXT Wrestling, an independent wrestling company based in Rutherglen, Scotland has been around since 2008, have their own wrestling school, produce DVDs and run shows on a fairly regular basis.
