me too.i kinda knew they would be.i think albert will be the final guy on team johnny.i heard ADR wont be cleared until after 'mania. so team teddy on paper looks like shit to team johnny but im sure that it will come down to a 1 on 1 at the finish to add some drama.
Well you have some major faces on Team Teddy and some former champs in their own right, former US, Tag and IC Champ Kofi, and former IC, Tag and current US Champ Santino, one of the most over faces right now, and Truth who is a pretty solid worker. If they add Ryder to the equation another former champion, and over act.
So while Team Johnny has: Mark Henry (former WHC) Christian (former WHC, IC Champ, Tag Champ) Ziggler (former WHC, IC, US and TagChamp) Swagger (former WHC, and US Champ) Otunga (current waste of space)
I think both teams will be fun to watch, what it all boils down to is that it's 12 guys that are really lost in the shuffle and haven't done much of anything as of late.
I am not sure if Albert will be on a team or not, as I think he won't be done with Japan for a couple weeks, and usually after Mania they have a big debut, Umanga , Goldberg, etc.
Maybe Team Teddy will include Zeke, or Ryder, or Rey or even Clay...I think either way this will be a fun spot fest, and I don't think this is elimination, unless I missed something so it will be a quick, wham, bam thank you mam type match.

WWE released an announcement by Executive Vice President of Talent, Paul Levesque, otherwise known as Triple H. Levesque had the following to say to the rumors about Florida Championship Wrestling, WWE’s developmental territory, closing down:
“It is absolutely not true. FCW is not closing. I don’t know how the rumor started but I believe it’s a situation where the ‘dirt sheets’ want to believe they have the scoop on everything. If anything, we are in the process of ramping up our entire developmental system. It’s the lifeblood of our company. It’s what feeds our future and in no way are we going to close it down.”

FCW needs to close, imo. It's been a big fuck up as far as developing talent. FCW's brought few people through, compared to their last developmental territory (OVW).
They should just start again, and have a development lead by William Regal, X-Pac, Goldust and Road Dogg, they should also bring back Finlay to work with the Yaks. Those are all guys that I would want in a day-to-day situation with young talent. They all have so much to teach about the business.
I mean how much can Dusty Rhodes and Rick Steamboat actually do with them between the ropes at this moment in time? Can they, especially Steamer, enter the ring and roll about a bit with the talent to pass on some of their knowledge with more than just words?
Rhodes and Steamboat are obviously great assets as explaining what to do and when to do it, and how to look at the right spot in the arena to make everyone in the crowd think that you're looking directly at them, but I propose they'll need ring generals there who can still actually physically get into the ring to really make it superb. How did Chris Masters become a fine hand? Getting in their with top veteran talents like HBK. How did the Divas stop being shit? Having a Fit Finlay to get in there and show them how it's done.

Smackdown Spoilers
Click to reveal..
*World champion Daniel Bryan and AJ come out to cut a promo. Bryan holds the mic while AJ recites all the reasons Bryan is great. Bryan is whsipering in her ear telling her all the reasons, including him yelling at her when she called him Danny. Sheamus comes out and says this is making him sick. He calls Bryan Danny, which gets fans chanting it at him. He promises to win the World title at Wrestlemania. AJ was really good in the segment. Lots of fans chanting "Yes!" during the segment.
*Mark Henry pinned R Truth. Killed him might be a better description.
*They announced Yokozuna for the WWE Hall of Fame.
*There is a backstage segment with Zack Ryder begging Teddy Long to let him be on the Wrestlemania team. Long says no. Zack brings in Hornswoggle, who shows up with a team flag so he's the mascot. Long still says no. Zack brings in Great Khali dressed in Zack gear. Long asks if he's in and Zack says "Woo Woo Woo You Know It." So, Khali and Zack are on the team and Horny is the mascot.
*AJ defeated Brie Bella. Nikki cut a promo where she's rooting for Team Teddy while Brie on Team Johnny, so it appears they are going to be added to that segment as well.
*Zack Ryder defeated Jack Swagger. Lilian Garcia accidentally introduced Ryder as "Long Island Iced Z Jack Swagger." Oops!
*Cody Rhodes cut a quick promo backstage "earlier in the day" promising to win at Wrestlemania then left saying he has a plane to catch.
*Kane vs. Big Show went to a no contest. Rhodes came out of the crowd. Show chased him back out through the crowd. This left Kane alone in the ring. Orton came from under the ring and nailed an RKO.
*Brodus Clay defeated Heath Slater.
*Eve Torres blew off Zack Ryder backstage.
*Christian came to ringside for commentary.
*Dolph Ziggler (with David Otunga & John Laurinaitis) vs. Great Khali (with Teddy Long). Ziggler put Khali in a sleeper. Laurinaitis called for the bell. Teddy restarted the match and said he would count out Ziggler if he didn't return. He was counted out. Santino and Kingston tossed Ziggler back into the ring, where Khali chopped him.
*WWE champ CM Punk & Sheamus defeated World champion Daniel Bryan & The Miz when Sheamus drilled Miz with the Brogue Kick.
