Li Tianze accompanied Wang Xiaowei for two whole days, and on the third day, he followed AJ on a flight from New York to Miami to Florida.

After a three-hour flight, we arrived in Miami without incident, and since FCW was in Tampa, we transferred to a car to Tampa City, more than 300 kilometers away.

Tampa is a seaport city on the west coast of the Florida Peninsula, located on Tampa Bay and bordered by the Gulf of Mexico. The urban agglomeration includes St. Petersburg and Clearwater, and the Tampa metropolitan agglomeration is the second largest urban agglomeration in Florida after Miami.

Arriving 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 at this time was in the more than 20 degrees.

FCW belongs to the Florida Regional Wrestling League, and for nearly half a century, Florida Championship Wrestling has been the country's leading wrestling promotion group and has become a development league that trains future professional superstars.

Although the FCW is a regional competition, it is also broadcast live on television and online to audiences across the United States, and it is the most watched wrestling competition in the United States outside of WWE.

The purpose of Florida Championship Wrestling is to produce the next generation of wrestling superstars, and the tournament is held in cities such as Tampa, Miami, St. Petersburg, Jacksonville, Orlando, and West Palm Beach.

The FCW is now WWE's only development league, and all WWE newcomers have to go to the FCW for a tryout, and if they perform well, they will get a chance to enter WWE.

If Li Tianze wants to enter WWE, he can use FCW as a springboard and make a name for himself in FCW, so that he can be favored by WWE and enter the coveted WWE.

FCW is very famous in Tampa, and the taxi driver learned that Li Tianze and the two were going to the FCW headquarters, and drove them to their destination without saying a word, and the taxi driver was also excited to introduce FCW and Tampa City to them along the way.

After a verbal bombing by a taxi driver, Li Tianze and AJ finally came to 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 early

"Good luck to you."

He handed the letter of introduction to the security guard, and the security guard blessed the two of them when they let them go.

According to the security guidelines, Li Tianze and AJ came to the office of the president of FCW, knocked on the door and entered, and there were also many old photos of wrestling in this office.

FCW's president, Steve Kergeon, is a veteran wrestling star, the number one superstar of FCW's predecessor NWA, and the wrestler with the most NWA titles in NWA history.

Steve wasn't born in a good era, when NAW wasn't a WWE Development League, just a wrestling tournament in the Florida area, but it was undeniable that Steve's strength was strong enough to teach Li Tianze and these newcomers.

"President Steve."

Sitting in front of Steve, from his strong physique, he could feel a lot of pressure, and Li Tianze and the two were a little restrained.

Steve was surprisingly kind, and after signing the report between 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 a playful personality who is not afraid of heaven and earth."

Steve handed AJ's plan to her first, and while AJ was flipping through it, Steve said: "You have to be fearless, like Avril, who came to the United States alone to develop and eventually become a generation of divas." ”

In 2001, 17-year-old Avril left her Canadian hometown and moved to Los Angeles, California, where she began to work hard in the American music scene.

The role formulated by FCW for AJ is similar to Avril, and the main two have similar appearances and personalities, and I believe they will be liked by the audience.

"You'll challenge the Bella sisters to compete with Nikki Bella for the FCW Queen Championship."

After Steve finished speaking, he waited for AJ's reaction.

Undeterred, AJ was excited, and the Bella sisters, whom she had heard from many in the Academy, were two of the best newcomers in the Academy last year, especially Nikki Bella, who many thought would be the next Treshstrettus.

Compared with Nikki Bella, her sister Bribella is much inferior, and she can only temporarily become a supporting role for her sister under Nikki Bella's aura.

FCW's placement of AJ as a rival to the Bella sisters is a testament to the importance FCW and WWE take her.

"President Steve, I will definitely make it clear to the company that choosing to train me is the wisest decision for the company." AJ was confident, and her response was 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 up and behaved neither humble nor arrogant, and Steve nodded with satisfaction.

"Li, your situation is special, this is about your character planning, you can take a look first." Steve pushed Li Tianze's plan in front of him.

Li Tianze looked at the plan about his future fate, and the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, but he didn't expect that the company attached even more importance to him than AJ.

"Now in the FCW, there are three great singles players, the current FCW Men's Singles Champion Jake Wager, the next title contender Seth Rollins, and Dean Ambrose, who just joined the FCW three months ago."

"Your opponents are Rollins and Ambrose, and you're going to join them in the fight for the FCW Championship No. 1 Challenger and challenge FCW Champion Jakeswag. ”

Li Tianze raised his eyebrows, the role positioning arranged for him by FCW is a bit similar to Jeff Hardy and Randy Orton, competing for the first challenger qualification of the WWE Intercontinental Championship together, of course, the gold content of the FCW championship must not be compared with any WWE gold belt.

Hearing Steve mention Ambrose, Li Tianze couldn't help but say, "It's an old enemy, it seems that if you want to succeed in FCW, you must step past Ambrose and step on him to take the position."

"Jack is going to WWE soon, you don't have much time left, do you have the confidence to compete with them?" Steve asked seriously that the main reason for the rush to choose the next title contender was that Jakeswag was about to sign with WWE.

Li Tianze said without hesitation: "I will be the next FCW champion." ”

Steve smiled, he was very satisfied with Li Tianze's answer, he was worthy of the Chinese boy that Max valued, maybe he would really be as successful as Max said.

"What a lucky Chinese boy." Steve thought to himself that if he hadn't forgotten, the last one to be appreciated by Max and vigorously cultivated was John Cena.

Li Tianze took his role to plan and ponder, the wrestling circle is like the showbiz, the same script is given to different actors, some actors can play the role alive, and the whole drama will become popular together. Some actors will play the role badly, making the whole drama a bad movie together.

The script has been given to you, and whether you can succeed or not can only rely on your own efforts.

Li Tianze and AJ were about to leave Steve's office and go to the company's arranged accommodation, but Steve called them in again.

"Oh, look at my brain, my memory is getting worse and worse."

Steve patted his head and said, "I almost forgot to ask for your opinion on the music you played." ”

Li Tianze and AJ sat back in front of Steve.

Steve turned on the computer on his desk, opened the music software, and played a piece of music.

"Let's Light It Up, this is the company's music for you, I don't know if you're satisfied?" Steve looked at AJ, apparently asking for AJ's answer.

Let's Light It Up has a brisk and playful feel, and AJ loves it: "I love it, President Steve. ”

Seeing that AJ had no opinion, Steve looked at Li Tianze: "Li, your situation is special, you know, we have never been in contact with Chinese wrestlers, so the company wants you to choose your own music, which you think is suitable for your appearance." ”

As long as the music starts, the audience will know who the next player will be, and the music can already be counted as a wrestler's musical calling card.

The music for the appearance is BGM, Li Tianze has already thought about it, he took out a USB flash drive from his body and handed it to Steve.

Steve inserted (harmony) into the USB flash drive, clicked on a song stored inside, and a song with a majestic rhythm echoed in the office.

"President Steve, that's my choice of music." 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 said proudly: "The descendant of the dragon." ”

That's right, Li Tianze's appearance music for Steve is the English version of the descendants of the dragon, and the reason why he chose the English version is because he needs more Americans and foreigners to hear the lyrics and know that he is from China and is the descendant of the dragon.

"It's very good, the song is good, the lyrics are good, and the singer's voice is perfect." Steve nodded in agreement with Li Tianze's choice.

Li Tianze breathed a sigh of relief, and he was in a good mood and gradually let go: "Actually, the heir of this English version of the dragon is sung 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 have come to FCW." Steve said with a serious expression.

Li Tianze sighed in his heart, thinking that the heir of this English version of the dragon had provoked Steve.

Steve suddenly laughed, and his serious expression disappeared instantly: "You should go to America's Got Talent because you are a singer who has been delayed by wrestling." ”

Poof, this time, not only Li Tianze's brows stretched. Even AJ on the side couldn't help but cover his mouth and snicker.
