Without further ado:

Here we go...

Pre-Show Dark Match:

"Dirdey" Jake Dirden vs. Eddie Diamond (w/Timmy Danger). 

Dirden throws Diamond to the mat twice. Diamond comes back and locks Dirden up from behind, but Dirden slings him off. Diamond runs off the ropes, but is caught with a big punch from Dirden. Danger gets on the apron with a picture of Epiphany, telling Diamond to do it for her. Dirden grabs the picture and rips it up, angering Diamond. He hits Dirden with 2 forearms, and dropkicks him into the corner. He trips him up and hits the Soulja Boy Shuffle for the pin.

WINNER: DIAMOND by pinfall.

 MY TAKE: EFD is still clearly hooked on Epiphany. Was she watching this match to see what he thinks about her?

That was tonight's only pre-show dark match. I always recommend watching the episode first on TV or online before reading the rest of the report. Again, you can check it out on OVW's official website late Thursday afternoon/evening at www.ovwrestling.com/tv.

OVW TELEVISION TITLE: Jeremiah Plunkett vs. Rockstar Spud (c).
Spud hits Plunkett, but Plunkett pushes him off. He hits and hammers away to Spud, but Spud keeps coming back. He hits a hurricanrana, and follows it up with a dive to the outside on Plunkett. Back in the ring, Spud hits a DDT for the 3.
WINNER and STILL OVW TV CHAMPION: SPUD by pinfall. 
MY TAKE: Spud proves that big things come in small packages. Another win over the bigger Plunkett for the TV Champion.

In the back, Paredyse is talking to Brittany Devore about the big reveal. We then see Moose & Johnny Spade arguing about getting a piece of Jay Bradley. Jay tries to walk off, but Moose & Spade won't let him. Michael Hayes walks in and says since they both want a piece of Jay, they will have a tag match tonight and Jay needs to find a partner. Jay says he has no friends and that's not fair, he's the new guy.

"Marksman" Nick Dumeyer & Elvis Pridemoore vs. New School: Alex Silva & Sam Shaw.
 Silva locks Dumeyer in an armbar. Dumeyer hits Silva with a forearm, and Silva punches him back. Dumeyer tags out to Elvis. Elvis runs in and Silva meets him with a hip toss. Silva with a dropkick, and a tag to Shaw. They hit a double team hip toss/neckbreaker combo. Dumeyer is tagged back in, and he gets a double dropkick to the head. Silva hits the half stunner on Dumeyer as Shaw dropkicks him in the back, and then Shaw gets down as a pedestal for Silva to run up his back and hit a Silva Surfer on Elvis to send him flying off the apron. Shaw pins Dumeyer for the win.
WINNERS: NEW SCHOOL by pinfall.
After the match, they say the Coalition wants war, they'll get it. They say the problem with America is greed, and they are greedy for their Southern Tag Team Championships.
MY TAKE: New School totally dominates as they prepare for war once again with the Coalition.

In the back, Jay Bradley is looking for a partner. He passes up Eddie Diamond & Timmy Danger and runs into Rob Terry. Terry says there's no way he'd tag with Bradley. Bradley goes back and asks Diamond. Diamond is all for it and says maybe it will help with his girl problems. Bradley says never mind, he wants someone focused, not on girl problems. Bradley then walks up to Cliff Compton and pays him off to be his partner later tonight.

Taeler Hendrix & "The King of Pink" Dylan Bostic vs. Ryan Howe & Heidi Lovelace.
Dylan wants to unplug Howe's amp, but Taeler won't let him. Dylan hits Howe, and Taeler yells at him to stop. Howe comes back with a sliding punch, dropkick, and hits a flying body press. Taeler tags herself in and asks Howe to teach her some moves. He gently applies a headlock and let's her try it on him. Dylan & Heidi get in the ring and ask them what they are doing. All 4 of them argue as the continuous match between Rudy Switchblade & Jessie Godderz arrives at ringside. They fight into the ring, so the ref has no choice but to call for the bell. Howe & Bostic get involved exchanging blows with Godderz & Switchblade.
NO CONTEST.
MY TAKE: Will there ever be a winner between Rudy & Jessie? What is going on between Taeler & Ryan? Her Irish eyes seem to be smiling in a new direction.

"Lonesome" Jay Bradley & "The Great" Cliff Compton vs. James "Moose" Thomas & "Smooth" Johnny Spade.
Spade & Moose wear Bradley out in the corner. They hit a double drop toehold and elbow drop on him, before he gets free and tags Cliff. Cliff runs into Moose and is taken down. He gets splashed in the corner, and tags out to Jay. He leaves the ring, saying he wasn't paid enough for this. Spade runs over and throws Bradley back in the ring. Moose takes him down and sets up for the Moose Kick, but Spade tags himself in. He hits a high knee on Bradley and sets up for the super kick, but Moose tags in. Moose splashes Bradley and sets up for the Moose Kick again, but again Spade tags himself in. Moose shoves Spade down. Spade gets up and super kicks Moose. Bradley hits a Boomstick on both men and pins Spade for the win.
WINNERS: BRADLEY & COMPTON by pinfall. 
MY TAKE: With the turmoil between Spade & Moose, Bradley didn't really need a partner. They were working well until it came down to how they were going to finish the match.

Dean Hill makes a big announcement that OVW is moving to a new time and channel. Starting the day of the next Saturday Night Special on April 6th, OVW can be seen in the Kentuckiana area on Louisville's ION television affiliate, WBNA-21, which can be seen on cable and satellite providers. The show will air every Saturday afternoon at 12.

Paredyse brings out the new and improved Brittany Devore. She comes out wearing a nice orange dress. Paredyse says she needs to be seen in the right light, though, and has her move around the ring, to the stairs, and then over by the announce table next to Dean Hill. He says she looks beautiful, and to close her eyes and soak it all in. Espy sneaks out behind her with a bucket full of yellow stuff, and pours it all over her head. Paredyse says he figured the Mobile Homers might want some mustard to go with their "pork". They run off as they see the Mobile Homers running to the ring on the monitors.
MY TAKE: Paredyse was indeed up to something all along. This will not set well with Ted & Adam, as they will be looking for revenge for their "trailer-park princess", Brittany.

Tony Gunn is talking to Randy Royal in the back. He says it doesn't matter who has the belt, Cliff Compton or Rockstar Spud, he has kicked out of death twice and can fight back and win the Television Title.

#1 Contender Final: "The Red Baron of Ruthless Reconnaissance" Crimson vs. Jamin Olivencia.

Chris Sharpe comes out to check on Josh as the Coalition comes out and attacks Jamin. Doug tells Sharpe to go in and make the pin, which he does.
WINNER: CRIMSON by pinfall. 
MY TAKE: Jamin got ripped off from meeting Doug Williams once again at the next SNS. What will he do now? Did Doug think he had a better chance facing Crimson?
