Without further ado:

Here we go...

Pre-Show Dark Matches:

Michael Hayes defeats Willie Cranium. Hayes controls early, but misses an elbow drop off the second rope. Cranium with a big slam, but flies off the ropes into a foot from Hayes. Hayes with a slam and a knee to the face from the bionic leg. He chokes Willie to the count of 4 and then makes the pin for the 3.

"Bro God" Dustin Jackson defeats Dre Blitz. A back and forth opening. Blitz hits a side slam for 2, but misses a Blitz Kick. Dustin hits the High Bro-ller for the 3.

"The Dark Angel" Jade Dawson defeats Billy Oceans. Before the match, the Void & Rev. Stuart Miles are sent to the back. A back and forth opening. Both men hit dropkicks, and Billy misses a high knee in the corner. Jade with some chops to Billy. Billy reverses a throw and charges Jade, but Jade catches him and reverse faceplants him into the top turnbuckle. He then kicks him in the face. He misses a stomp, and Billy fires up. He hits a dropkick and roundhouse kick for 2. He goes for his finisher, but Chace Destiny runs out distracting the ref. Billy fights off Damion, and Stu runs back out to fight off Jacob Black. Billy is still distracted and Jade goes for the snap DDT. Billy gets out and grabs Jade up, but Jade slides off, rolls Billy up and gets the 3 with a handful of tights for the win.

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.

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

David Lee Lorenze III comes out with Randall Floyd & Jaylee. He has his assistant and his "bodyguard". Floyd says he never said anything about being a bodyguard, he was promised a payoff and a shot at the OVW TV Title. David says he hasn't quite made up the contract yet, but they'll get to that.

Big Zo comes out and says Floyd is looking "dapper", and calls David a bearded lady and then says Jaylee is one too. You might as well call them Circus 2.0. He is out to make sure there is no funny business tonight.

OVW TELEVISION TITLE: David Lee Lorenze III (w/Jaylee & Randall Floyd) (c) defeats "The River City Dragon" Logan James. LJ totally controls the match. He hits several kicks to the head of David and flies out on Floyd. He is totally in control when Jaylee jumps up and distracts the ref. Floyd grabs a chair and Zo meets him at ringside from the announce table and the ref is distracted by them. Jaylee throws David his trophy while LJ has his back turned and David blasts him in the back of the head to get the 3. 

Gilbert Corsey brings out Michael Hayes. He wants to know if he can give a clue as to what match he will pick after winning War Games. Hayes says no, and he is out here to talk about the decaying state of America. He starts rambling about nazis walking the streets of this country that he bled for, and Gilbert says he just wants to know about the match. Dean Hill comes out and says no one wants to hear him spew politics. Tell him what match he wants or get out of his ring. Justin Smooth comes out and says he hasn't forgot what Hayes did to him at War Games with a steel pipe and what Tony Gunn did with that pipe last week. He tells Hayes he can't say anything when he tried to burn the flag. Even though he's from Trinidad, that flag means a lot to him. He calls Hayes a scumbag and says he should smack him in the face. He tells Dean to make his match tonight against Gunn a no holds barred and says after he takes care of Gunn, he's coming after Hayes. Dean makes it official.

"The Boy Wonder" Sam Thompson vs. Kevin Giza ends in a no-contest. A quick start back and forth between the two men. Giza hits a knee to the head and goes up top, but the Legacy of Brutality runs out and destroys both of them, hitting them both with the Final Chapter. They tell the Bad Boys Club to watch and let this be a lesson. They go to hit Giza again, and Adam Slade comes out for his weekly lap.

Dapper Dan cuts him off with a vicious clothesline, and then Slade gets a Final Chapter also. The Bad Boys then run out and knock both L.O.B. members out of the ring.

Randy Royal grabs a mic and asks "Is this thing on?". Shane Andrews grabs it away and says they ain't waiting til the Special. They are getting their titles back next week. Jessie Belle then tells them to tell Josh Ashcraft if he wants to hit her from behind, then he can see her face-to-face next week.

Apollo "Showtime" Garvin defeats KTD. A quick match. Apollo controls early, then KTD gets some shots in. Apollo comes back, catches KTD in a full nelson slam, and gets the 3.

Adam Revolver comes out and tells Gilbert Corsey to get in the ring. He wants answers and an interview with Gilbert must be the only way to get things done around here. He says Shannon the Dude is away doing Radio Heavyweight Champion things, but will be back next week. This week, he wants to know who his opponent will be at the Special.

Tyler Matrix's music hits and Revolver asks if he's the messenger, because he's not cleared. Tyler says it looks like he's seen a ghost, even though he is as pasty as one. He tells Adam to wake up from his dream, because he is cleared and is his opponent. He will become the new OVW Heavyweight Champion!

NO HOLDS BARRED: "The Trinidadian Titan" Justin Smooth defeats "Shotgun" Tony Gunn. Smooth shoves Gunn in a trash can and hits it with a kendo stick. Gunn tries to piledrive Smooth on the exposed concrete, but Smooth reverses and flips him over. Gunn chokes him with a chain, and Smooth pops him in the skull with a shovel. Gunn comes back and hits him several times with a trash can, but can't put him away. Smooth gets back up and gets hit by Michael Hayes with the steel pipe in the back.

Gunn still can't put him away. Gunn gets the pipe from Hayes and tries to hit Smooth, but Smooth catches him with Street Justice for the 3. Dean Hill comes out and says since Hayes won't tell him what match he wants for winning War Games, he is putting him in one at the Special. It will be Hayes vs. Smooth!

This ended the TV taping.

Post-Show Dark Matches:

"The Void": Chace Destiny, Damion, & Jacob Black defeat Aloysius Hamilton, Houdini, & the Blue Chippa. The Void gets the win after Chippa gets distracted by Jade Dawson who comes out and jumps on the apron. The Void hit a triple team finisher for the 3.

After the match, they continue to beat up on Chippa, and Rev. Stuart Miles & Billy Oceans run out with sledgehammers to run them off.

Big Zo defeats "The Real Deal" Randall Floyd (w/Jaylee & David Lee Lorenze III). Zo with some power moves early. He hits the Are You Serious legdrop for 2. Floyd comes back and takes the big man off his feet. He hits a double axehandle off the ropes and a backdrop. Jaylee throws in a chair for Floyd to use, but Zo kicks him and the chair flies out. Zo hits Floyd in the corner, hits the Zo Train, a roundhouse kick, and a cannonball. He follows it up with the Zo Bomb for the 3. After the match, David attacks Zo with the steel chair, and Floyd hits the Deal Breaker on the chair.

As always, thanks for reading!
