Pre-Show Dark Matches:

OVW Southern Tag Team Champions "The Winter Swoldier" Adam Slade & Kevin Giza defeat Cranium & Christian Hernandez. Giza takes control early against Cranium, hitting a nice dropkick. Giza & Slade use some tag team maneuvers, kicking Cranium in the gut, chest, and then delivering a double knee to the face for 2 as Hernandez breaks up the pin. Giza trips Cranium up on the ropes and hits a 619, then Slade hits a slingblade. Giza gos to jump off the top rope, but is shoved off by Hernandez. Cranium finally tags Hernandez and Hernandez gets control, only for Cranium to tag back in. Hernandez & Cranium deliver a double back body drop to Giza, but Giza flips over and tags Slade. Slade fires away with forearms to both men. Hernandez is knocked out of the ring and Giza & Slade deliver their finisher for the 3.

Big Zo defeats "Shotgun" Tony Gunn. Zo & Gunn lock up and off the ropes, Gunn runs into a brick wall. Gunn tries to lock up Zo from behind, but again Zo knocks him down. Gunn stomps on Zo's foot and takes him down, but Zo gets right back up, delivers a slam and the Are You Serious legdrop for 2. Gunn catches Zo with a shot to the face and catches him up in the ropes. He hits him in the corner, but Zo reverses a throw out and catches him with the roundhouse kick for 2. Gunn comes back again and has Zo locked in a side headlock. Zo back body drops him and clotheslines him. He hits Gunn into the corner and splashes him. He hits a samoan drop and then Gunn moves from the Zo train. Gunn climbs up and hits a flying knee to the head. Gunn mocks the Zo train and misses a charge in the corner. Zo rolls him up and gets the 3.

"The Bro Godz": Colton Cage & Dustin Jackson defeat "Livewire" KTD & "The Boy Wonder" Sam Thompson. KTD with a side headlock and takedown. Colton causes a distraction that allows the Bros to double team KTD and take control. Dustin throws Colton into a splash on KTD in the corner, then hits a perfect dropkick. They hit the Bro 69 elbow drop, but then KTD kicks Dustin off, and tags Sam. Sam knocks Colton off the apron and clotheslines Dustin twice. He hits a splash in the corner and goes to bulldog him out, but Dustin shoves him off. Colton pulls Sam's head down across the top rope and then the Bros hit their finisher for the 3.

After the match, Apollo comes out and gets in referee Dave Harmon's face. Stephon Smith comes out and says we are not doing this again. Apollo says he beat Stephon, so tonight he wants to face David. As a matter of fact, he will face both of them tonight.

Stephon & David accept.

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.

Dr. Ted McNaler, Mike Lacett, & Gilbert Corsey are on commentary, and KC is the ring announcer.

Michael Hayes comes out and runs his mouth about injustice and how this country is all about injustice and that politicians use veterans to get votes. He wants the national anthem to be played as he goes to kneel in the ring. The anthem doesn't play, the OVW theme music does and Dean Hill comes out.

He says it doesn't matter what side you fall on, he is not going to take over his show. Hayes says this is injustice, he has a title shot/match anytime he wants, and grabs Dean by the collar. They have to be separated by several referees and superstars.

Dean says to get out of his ring.

He says no one is going to kneel for the anthem or burn a flag on his watch, and tells Hayes that he will not use this show for his personal agenda.

OVW TELEVISION TITLE MATCH: "The Real Deal" Randall Floyd defeats "The River City Dragon" Logan James (c). A quick back and forth opening. Floyd tries to lock in a Boston crab, but LJ kicks him off. LJ catches him on the outside of the ring with some forearm shots, and rolls him in. LJ climbs up top, but Floyd meets him and they exchange shots. LJ knocks Floyd off, but Floyd hits the ropes and LJ falls across the top turnbuckle. Floyd suplexes him off. LJ fires back, hits a kick to the abdomen and a neckbreaker. He misses the frog splash, and Floyd hits the Deal Breaker for the 3!

We have a NEW TV Champion!

He tells him to leave. STD says he is not leaving, as Big Jon comes out and grabs him from behind while Smooth was counting to 3. Jon grabs him and takes him to the back, and Smooth goes to the ring for his match...

David gets in his flip up kick and clothesline in the corner. After several exchanges, Matrix begins to take control. He takes David down and Jaylee distracts the ref.

The Bro Godz run out and attack Tyler, but Tyler fights them off and knocks them out of the ring.
