In this episode, the fallout from War Games, the feud continues between the Bad Boys Club and the Legacy of Brutality, Dean Hill tries to get Michael Hayes to tell him what match he wants while also making a huge main event, plus more!

Without further ado:

Here we go...

Slade with a lap before the match, including an extra one after the fans chant for a second. KTD & Slade with the early control over Cranium. They work over his arm, and KTD goes down after being kicked from behind by Musa on the apron. Cranium & Musa both hit suplexes on him. KTD with the hot tag after a couple chinbusters to Musa.

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 WBNA-21 in the Louisville area Saturdays at 11AM and 9PM (check local listings) and on OVW's official website Mondays at www.ovwrestling.com/ovw-media.html.

Ron Hed & Dr. Ted McNaler are on commentary, and Ron is also the ring announcer.

Ted McNaler interviews Michael Hayes. Hayes says he can have any match he wants, but first, he wants to congratulate every single person who got to witness the one-legged man win the butt-kicking contest. He is interrupted by Adam Revolver & Shannon the Dude. Revolver says they made a great team. Hayes says he knows what he is doing and he is not safe from having to face him. He only picked him, because he's effective. Shannon says everyone just wants to know if he's facing him for the World Radio Heavyweight Title. Justin Smooth comes out and says Hayes is not a hero, he is a coward. He also says he is coming after Tony Gunn for taking out his man, Big Jon. He also says he wants a shot at Revolver and that title around his waist. Dean Hill comes out and says he couldn't be here for War Games, but saw what happened. Smooth did get cheated, but he also pinned the Heavyweight Champion during that match. Tonight, Smooth will get a shot against Revolver in the main event! He wants to know Hayes' choice for a match, but Hayes says he was used as a puppet the first time around, and now he's pulling the strings and will let Dean know when he's ready.

Apollo "Showtime" Garvin defeats Houdini. A relatively quick match. Apollo with the control early, but Houdini comes back with some shots. Apollo kicks him and hits him with a full nelson slam for the 3.

They exchange chops and fight on the outside. Royal hits Crown Royal, but Ca$h rolls out. Dan got sent to the back, but comes back out and Royal hits him off the apron. Royal then goes out and grabs Josh, but Dan hits Royal to cause the DQ.

After the match, Ca$h hits Royal with the Wall Street Crash and Dan grabs a chair. Referee Stephon Smith pulls it away, but Ca$h & Dan proceed to hit the Final Chapter on Royal.

"The River City Dragon" LJ defeats "Shotgun" Tony Gunn. Gunn grabs a mic before LJ comes out and says Smooth better watch himself, or he'll take him out just like he did to his buddy, Big Jon!

He goes for the 450 splash, but Jade had time to recover. He moves and Giza has a bad landing. Jade connects with the snap DDT for the 3.

After the match, the Void quadruple teams Giza and goes to put him in a bodybag. Billy Oceans & Rev. Stu run out and run them off with sledgehammers. Billy says they have had enough of their shenanigans. Stu says they are challenging them to a first-ever tag team casket match at the September 2 SNS, and it will be the final nail in their coffin.
