Pre-Show Dark Matches:

"The River City Dragon" Logan James defeats Chace Destiny. They lock up. LJ takes control first. He hits Chace with a kick to the head. Chace comes back and hangs LJ up in the ropes. He throws him corner to corner, and hits a sidewalk slam. Chace hits a killswitch for 2. Off the ropes, LJ blocks Chace and catches him with a pele kick to the head. He goes up top and connects with the frog splash for the 3.

Apollo "Showtime" Garvin defeats "The Boy Wonder" Sam Thompson (w/"Livewire" KTD). Apollo says he keeps getting kids each week and has to teach them respect. He says to send one out so he can knock them out. Sam comes out firing away and hits a flying cross body for 2. Apollo clubs him and works him over. Sam fires back, but Apollo rakes the eyes. He hits a fallaway slam, and then a bodyslam. He goes for a legdrop, but Sam moves. Sam hits him into the corner. He throws him to the opposite corner and goes for a splash, but Apollo moves. Apollo rolls him up with his feet on the ropes, but KTD pushes them off. Sam comes up behind Apollo, but while the ref is talking to KTD, Apollo kicks Sam below the belt and gets the 3.

Big Zo defeats William Lutz. Zo shoves him down twice. Lutz goes off the ropes to shoulder block Zo down twice, but doesn't faze him. On the third try, Zo hits him with a roundhouse kick. Zo slams him and hits the Are You Serious legdrop. He then connects with the Zo train and a fallaway slam. He goes for the Zo bomb, but Lutz gets his knees up. Lutz hits him in the corner and tries a pin, but has no luck. Zo fires back and Lutz tries a reverse cross body off the ropes. Zo catches him, slams him, and hits the Zo bomb for the 3.

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 & Gilbert Corsey are on commentary, and KC is the ring announcer.

OVW SOUTHERN TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH: "The Bad Boys Club": "Bad Boy" Shane Andrews & "Double R Superstar" Randy Royal (w/"Bad Girl" Jessie Belle) (c) defeat "BillyOcious": Billy O & Aloicious Hamilton. Shane offers a handshake to Billy, but hits him. He tags Randy in. Randy with a drop toehold and Shane with the kick to the face. Randy hits him and chokes him in the ropes. He throws Billy to the outside and Jessie puts some boots to him. Randy high knees Billy in the ropes and Shane hits the double foot stomp. Billy starts to fire back, but Shane catches him with a nice dropkick. Randy tags back in and Billy again fires back and hits a dropkick. Shane pulls Billy down from behind and tags back in. Shane headbutts him, and clubs him across the back. Off the ropes, Billy catches Shane with a huge spinebuster. They double clothesline each other. Billy goes for a tag while Randy distracts the ref. Amon has come out to ringside, and Alo fights him to the back. Alo comes back to the apron, and Billy gets the tag. Alo fires away on Shane & Randy, but then stops in his tracks. He starts foaming at the mouth and goes down choking. Shane runs over and gets a quick 3 to retain.

Gilbert Corsey & Ted McNaler are talking about the card for tonight, saying Amon will face Dapper Dan with the winner getting one of the final 5 spots in the Nightmare Rumble. Also, Randall Floyd will defend the OVW TV Title against Adam Slade. They are interrupted by Shannon the Dude.

He says it's funny that he's here and "Mike La-suck" is nowhere to be found. He says he "La-cept's" the challenge from Mike Lacett at the January SNS for his World Heavyweight Radio Title.

Gilbert Corsey calls out the new #1 contender Houdini. Instead, he gets Tony Gunn. Gunn says last week, he got screwed. He complains that it's all Dean Hill's fault, and the way he runs this place. Dean comes out and says he's sorry about what happened, but he gives his refs full authority and they saw Houdini as the winner. It's the gamble you take being in a triple threat or fatal 4 way match.

Houdini comes out and says the ending may have been a little funny, but he's worked hard for 2 years, coming to every practice, being at every show, and has earned his spot. Gunn says he hasn't earned anything and challenges him for his #1 contendership tonight. Houdini accepts. Gilbert tries to talk him out of it, saying he may never get a shot like this again. Houdini says no one believes in him, and he wants to prove them wrong tonight. Dean makes the match official.

OVW TELEVISION TITLE: Randall Floyd (c) defeats "The Winter Swoldier" Adam Slade. Slade with a hot start, kicking Randall in the gut and hitting a slingblade. Randall hangs him up in the ropes and takes control. He works Slade over. Slade comes back with uppercuts and gets a 2. Slade goes for the Swoldier Slam, but Randall slides off and takes Slade down. He locks in the modified Boston crab and Slade taps.

OVW Women's Champion Jaylee (w/David Lee Lorenze III, Camera Man & "The Bro Godz": Colton Cage & Dustin Jackson) defeats Cali (w/Meg). A quick match. Cali with the early offense. She knocks Jaylee off the apron onto both the Bros. She chases Jaylee on the outside, and David grabs Cali's leg as she goes to get in. Jaylee takes control, but loses focus when she sees the Entourage talking to Meg on the outside. Cali takes her down for 2, but Jaylee comes back and hits her finisher for the 3.

NIGHTMARE RUMBLE SPOT in the FINAL FIVE: Dapper Dan defeats Amon. Dan goes after Amon on the outside and hits him with the kendo stick, then throws him into the steel post. He rolls him in and hits him in the corner. He splashes him and goes for the Death Valley Driver, but Amon slides off and slams Dan. Amon chokes him and stomps him. He gets a 2. Dan back with a big slam and a release German suplex. Josh Ashcraft runs out and gets on the apron distracting Dan. Chace Destiny also runs out with Amon's chain.

He goes up top and flies off, but is caught for a Death Valley Driver. Amon gets the chain and lays Dan out for the DQ.

After the match, Amon goes to keep choking Dan with the chain, but Billy O comes out and grabs Dan's stick. He blasts Amon in the back twice to no avail. Chace is back up and takes out Billy's knee from behind. Amon pedigrees Billy, while Josh hits and chokes Dan.

#1 CONTENDER for the OVW HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE: Houdini defeats "Shotgun" Tony Gunn. Gunn takes the fight to Houdini, totally dominating the early going. He yells at Michael Hayes, who comes out to commentary. Hayes keeps cheering Houdini's name. Gunn puts him in the corner on the top. Houdini tries to kick him away, but Gunn slams him off and hits a running neckbreaker. He hits the reverse DDT, but pulls him up before 3. He hits Houdini in the corner. He then charges at him, but Houdini jumps up and sunset flips him for the 3!
After the match, Gunn attacks Houdini. He's angry and embarrassed, and then takes out the ref as well. Houdini comes back with a flying forearm to knock Gunn out of the ring. Hayes sneaks in from behind and takes Houdini out with the title belt. He goes for his hook slam finisher, but Logan James runs out to run Hayes off.

This ended the TV taping.

Post-Show Dark Matches:

Camera Man & "The Bro Godz": Colton Cage & Dustin Jackson (w/David Lee Lorenze III & OVW Women's Champion Jaylee) defeats Ashton Cole, SK Eveslage, & Flex. SK & company with a quick start, but the Entourage quickly takes control over SK. The Bros hit the puss into a dropkick and Bro 69, but Ashton gets a hot tag. He is taking them all down until the Bros catch him and take him down with the Snapshot for the 3.

David Lee Lorenze III (w/Camera Man, OVW Women's Champion Jaylee, & "The Bro Godz": Colton Cage & Dustin Jackson defeats Kevin Giza.

Giza dropkicks him in the corner, but gets tripped in the ropes by Jaylee. David hits a shining wizard and 3 clotheslines, except the third Giza ducks. Giza with a kick to the head. He takes out the Bros with super kicks as they run in, and he takes out the Camera Guy too. He knocks David to the floor on top of the Camera Guy and the Bros. He then goes diving out on them.
