Dwight comes back and locks Deonta in an armbar, and leg drops his arm. He goes for the Party Worm, but Deonta rolls away and then pulls Dwight's head down across the top rope. He hits Dwight in the corner, but Dwight fires back with back elbows, a splash in the corner, and a high knee. He hits the Party Worm for the 3.

WINNER: SHELLY by pinfall.

The Congregation comes out and Rev. Stuart Miles tells everyone the good word is "new". He says everyone has had a chance to be made new time and time and time and time again, but continue to live a life of garbage. He says everyone can be made new if they just come to him. Peace be with you...hallelujah.

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 and 10PM (check local listings).

Dean Hill, Gilbert Corsey, & Michael Titus are on commentary with Shannon the Dude as the ring announcer.

We see footage of the events from last Saturday's live event in E-Town. Gilbert Corsey is in the ring and says we will get some answers tonight from Danny Davis himself on the status of the currently vacated OVW Heavyweight Title. Gilbert is interrupted by Timmy Danger & Marcus Anthony. Danger says that the title is rightfully Marcus's and that he needs to hand the title over. Gilbert says he cannot, and Timmy tells Marcus to "lock him".

Jamin Olivencia's music hits and he comes out and gets in Marcus' face. He says everyone knows that he didn't get beat and is the rightful owner of the title.

Josh Ashcraft runs out and says that he is a senior official and knows that Marcus is the rightful owner. He demands Gilbert hand him the title or he will make sure that Gilbert gets his walking papers. Gilbert reluctantly hands it over. Chris Sharpe comes out and pulls it away from Timmy Danger and says that Jamin is the rightful owner. Sharpe & Ashcraft argue and play tug of war with the belt.

Danny Davis then makes his way out and grabs the title away from both of them. He says firstly, Josh Ashcraft doesn't have the power or authority to fire anyone, and then says what he did at the live event was wrong (placing Marcus' arm on top of Jamin) and everyone saw it. He tells Sharpe that he was in the wrong also for putting Jamin's arm on top of Marcus. He says he can tell they need to both settle things, so at the Saturday Night Special, it will be Chris Sharpe vs. Josh Ashcraft! Secondly, he says the title is held up, but Marcus Anthony & Jamin Olivencia will meet one more time for the title at the Saturday Night Special, and you won't have to worry about the referees, because it will be a last man standing match! He then informs them that they will each have a match tonight.

OVW TELEVISION TITLE: Eddie F. Diamond (w/"Party Starter" Bud Dwight) vs. Adam Revolver (w/Timmy Danger) (c).

Adam attacks EFD from behind. He hits him in the corner and elbows him on the apron. EFD comes back with a dropkick and a Wild Boy drop. He locks in the Cripwalk Crossface, but Adam reaches the rope. EFD locks it back in again in the center of the ring, but Danger distracts referee Chris Sharpe. EFD gets up and has his back turned to Adam. Adam comes up from behind and locks in a sleeper, and EFD goes out.

WINNER and STILL OVW TV CHAMPION: REVOLVER by submission.

After the match, Gilbert Corsey interviews Adam. He says that a lot of people are saying that Adam is the most undeserving TV champion of all time. Adam says he's not surprised, they just can't see greatness, and he is the best TV champion of all time.

Melvin Maximus comes out and Adam says he needs to go back to the back of the line. Melvin says he was at the back of the line, but defeated Adam in a non-title match in E-Town and is now at the front. He says he doesn't want to wait until next week's TV, he wants to cash in at the Saturday Night Special. He also adds that since there has been so much controversy, their match will be a best 2 out of 3 falls.

Randy Terrez vs. "Wrestling's Rockstar" Ryan Howe.

Several lockups and reversals early on. Howe with an uppercut and a pin attempt for 2. Terrez jumps off the ropes and tries a reverse flying body, but Howe moves, and Terrez crashes and burns. Howe goes up top and hits the Chart Topper for the 3.

WINNER: HOWE by pinfall.

Josh Ashcraft comes out, and Chris Sharpe comes out shortly thereafter. He tells Josh that Josh will be refereeing the TV Title match at SNS, but since it's 2 out of 3 falls, he will be officiating also. Josh says he doesn't know what sort of backdoor deals he's making, but he should do things like a real man. He then mentions Sharpe's wife and says that he might have to drop by and make sure she's being taken care of after Sharpe gets stretchered out following their match. Sharpe charges at Josh, and takes him down!

The 2 brawl and the locker room empties of wrestlers and other referees who try to break them apart. They keep breaking loose and going at it. Sharpe grabs a mic and says they should up the stakes. The winner will get sole possession of the title of "senior official". Josh agrees as Sharpe climbs the top rope and dives out onto Josh and the surrounding wrestlers on the outside!

The Bodyguy (w/Big Jon) vs. "Primetime" Robbie Walker (w/Aaron Sky).

Bodyguy locks an armbar on Robbie. Robbie reverses and hits Bodyguy with a shoulder block and a dropkick. He misses a splash in the corner, and Bodyguy takes over. He locks up Robbie again. Off the ropes, Robbie goes for a body press, but Bodyguy ducks. While the ref checks on Robbie, Bodyguy gets a weapon from Big Jon. Sky runs around the ring and hits Jon. Bodyguy is distracted and referee Chris Sharpe sees the weapon. Sharpe throws Big Jon out from ringside. Bodyguy turns into a super kick from Robbie for the 3.

WINNER: WALKER by pinfall.

Marcus Anthony (w/Timmy Danger) vs. "Big Country" Clint Poe.

Poe collides with Marcus, but doesn't knock him down. Marcus throws Poe into the corner and charges to splash him, but Poe moves. Poe backflips him, but Marcus lands on his knee. He locks in the Crimson Omen and Poe is out.

WINNER: MARCUS by submission.

After the match, Shiloh Jonze runs out and beats up on Poe, saying he will see him at the Special.

The Mexicutioner (w/Timmy Danger) vs. OVW Heavyweight Champion Jamin Olivencia.

Josh Ashcraft is the referee. Jamin goes off the ropes and hits Mex twice, but he doesn't go down. Danger gets on the apron, and Mex hits Jamin from behind and chokes him. Jamin fires back, hitting 3 high knees on Mex in the corner. He hits the jumping clothesline and sets up for the Standing O. Mex throws him off and takes him down. He gets a chair as Josh just watches. Chris Sharpe runs out and pulls it away from Mex. Meanwhile, Danger is handing another chair to Josh. Mex charges at Jamin, but Jamin sidesteps him, and Mex crashes into Josh who was holding the chair on the apron, and Josh crashes to the floor. Mex turns around into the Standing O and Sharpe counts the 3.

WINNER: JAMIN by pinfall.

This ended the TV taping.

Post-Show Dark Matches:

"The Congregation" Jade Dawson & "The Pastor of Disaster" Rev. Stuart Miles (w/"the Apostle" Jake Glasure) vs. "Mister Marvelous" Melvin Maximus & Rump Thump.

Melvin slings Miles down. Off the ropes, Miles runs into the massive shoulder of Melvin and goes down. Melvin locks on an armbar and tags in Rump. Pastor throws Rump off the ropes, but Rump comes back and bowls him over. He locks the armbar back in and arm drags and dropkicks Miles. He does the same to Jade who runs in. He goes for the Thump, but Glasure is on the apron. Miles hits Rump from behind, and Jade chokes Rump in the corner. Jade tags in and splashes Rump in the corner and tags Miles back in to double clothesline Rump. Miles chokes Rump with his boot. He throws Rump from the ring, and Rump is kicked on the outside by Glasure. Back inside, Jade pulls Rump's head down across the top rope. Miles locks in the "Be Healed" Claw. He goes for a slam, but Rump slips off and tags Melvin. Melvin charges through Miles and clotheslines Jade. He has a meeting of the minds between Jade & Miles, and Rump comes flying back in with a Thump to Jade. He then Thumps Miles in the corner, and Miles staggers out of the corner into the bearhug from Melvin.
