OVW TV #754: "2014 Nightmare Rumble"

This is the OVW Report for Wednesday, January 29, 2014. This episode can be seen online starting tomorrow at www.ovwrestling.com/tv. In this episode, 20 men compete in the Nightmare Rumble for a shot at the OVW Heavyweight Title at this Saturday's Saturday Night Special!

Without further ado:

Here we go...

Pre-Show Dark Matches:

Ted McNaler vs. Michael Hayes.
Adam Revolver & Mohamad Ali Vaez came to the ring with their partners, but both left before the match started. Ted attacks Michael from behind to start the match. He hits him with several stomps and forearms. He also hits a couple suplexes, but Michael reverses one and then hits the headbutts to the chest of Ted. Ted rolls under the ropes to the outside of the apron. As Michael goes to grab him, Ted pulls his head down across the top rope. He hits Michael with a spear and gets the 3 using the ropes for leverage.
WINNER: McNALER by pinfall.

Ray Lyn vs. Jessie Belle.
A quick back and forth match. Jessie Belle avoids the twerking of Ray Lyn, and hits her with a spinning Widow's Peak for the 3.
WINNER: JESSIE BELLE by pinfall.

That concludes tonight's pre-show dark matches. 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 and on WBNA ion-21 in the Louisville area Saturdays at 9AM with replays Wednesdays at 9PM after WWE Main Event.

Gunn sneaks up behind Trash and dumps him out right after the elimination of Raul. TRASH is ELIMINATED.

Vaughn Lilas makes a surprise return as the 11th entrant. He takes out Flash pretty quickly. FLASH is ELIMINATED.

The final entrant is Melvin Maximus. Bodyguy comes to ringside and roots for Melvin, putting on Melvin's robe, and offering him a handshake.

Marcus Anthony comes out and Danger is excited that it will be Spade vs. Marcus at the Special on Saturday. Spade all of a sudden superkicks Marcus out of the ring, and Danger is shocked. Marcus is angry and the fans cheer for Spade to end the show.

This ended the TV taping.

Post-Show Dark Matches:

A really good match. Marcus powers Ali down early. Ali targets Marcus' leg and tries to make him tap to the Figure 4. Danger keeps jumping on the apron and distracting the referee. Ali hits his neckbreaker drop finisher, but Marcus kicks out. Marcus ends up catching Ali in the Crimson Omen and Ali passes out.
WINNER: MARCUS by submission.

Don't forget the next Saturday Night Special is THIS Saturday!

The team that wins gets the tag titles, the person pinned is FIRED!
