Without further ado:

Here we go...

Pre-Show Dark Matches:

Big Zo defeats "The Vet" Apollo "Showtime" Garvin. Apollo attacks Zo in the corner as he asks "What Time Is It?". He claws him, but Zo hits him into the opposite corner. He hits the cartwheel butt bump, then a roundhouse kick. Zo goes for a Zo bomb, but Apollo puts his knees up. Apollo hits him in the throat and rakes his back. Zo ducks a swing and hits him with a big slam for the 3.

"The Real Deal" Randall Floyd & "Shotgun" Tony Gunn defeat Billy O & Aloicious Hamilton. A quick opening from Billy & Randall. Off the ropes, Billy holds the ropes and Randall dropkicks the air. Billy locks in a headlock and tags Alo. Randall breaks free and tags Gunn. Billy tags in, and off the ropes, Gunn ducks both Alo & Billy, but runs into a double flapjack. Randall runs in, but gets flipped onto Gunn for 2. Randall trips Billy up from the outside and Gunn tags him in. Randall has Billy locked up in a reverse headlock, but Gunn distracts the ref as Billy gets to the corner to tag Alo. Gunn tags in, but Billy fights him off and gets the tag to Alo. Alo hits Gunn with a big spinebuster for 2 as Randall breaks the count. Randall & Billy fight outside, and inside Alo hits Gunn with a slingblade. He goes off the ropes, but Randall trips him up. With Alo's attention diverted, Gunn comes up from behind and rolls him up with a handful of tights for the 3.

"The Void": Houdini & Damion defeat William Lutz & "Livewire" KTD. KTD locks Houdini in a side headlock and hits a Russian leg sweep. Lutz tags in and hits a dropkick. KTD comes back in, but Damion causes a distraction, allowing Houdini to take control. Houdini & Damion work KTD over for a bit, and Houdini hits him with a neckbreaker. Damion tags in and KTD tries to work his way to the corner for a tag, but Houdini pulls Lutz off the apron. Damion hits KTD with a faceplant 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.

Josh Ashcraft, Dr. Ted McNaler, & Shannon the Dude are on commentary, and Brittany is the ring announcer.

Dean Hill opens up the show by bringing out the NEW OVW Heavyweight Champion, "The Double R Superstar" Randy Royal accompanied by "Bad Girl" Jessie Belle. Dean says that he remembers the day Randy walked in. He was as green as could be. He was athletic, but worked his butt off to get to this spot now. He even helped with the rings, tutoring the younger talent. Even when he had a setback with his heart attack, he pushed forward. Congratulations! This is his time. Randy takes the mic and says he is going to talk to "his people". He thanks the fans saying doesn't it feel good that Michael Hayes is gone? He says it was because of the fans that he was able to push through every day he came here, through the bad, the good, and the sometimes horrible things he did as he jokes that it's usually because Jessie seems to be involved.

Dean says to bask in this, but this is the wrestling business and he will be looking for the next #1 contender.

 

ANARCHY TITLE QUALIFIER: Dapper Dan defeats Flex. Dan hits Flex in the head with an aluminum tray. He knocks him down in the corner and grabs a bowling ball! He rolls it between Flex's legs for a strike. Flex fights back and hits Dan with the tray and then a toilet seat. Dan fights back and throws Flex head first off the announce table. He tries to throw Flex in, but Flex spins around and kicks him in the head. He tries to pin on the floor for 2. Back inside, he hits Dan with the kendo stick and chokes him with it. Dan fights back and hangs Flex in the tree of woe. He puts a trash can in front of his face and dropkicks it into him. He gets some shots with the kendo stick, then Dan puts him away with a Death Valley Driver on the trash can for the 3!

DL3 and the Entourage come out and DL3 calls out Cardinal, but he's not here. The Top Guys come out instead. They will fight them 2-on-3. Colton Cage says the numbers are against them. There's 3 bros, and 2 of them. Dustin Jackson says that's uno, dos, tres which is 3 in espan-bro for those who don't know. Shiloh Jonze comes out and introduces himself. He says you might remember him from such saves as Rob Terry from the Bodyguy, Johnny Spade from himself, and even Christmas. Now the best save yet, these two guys.

DL3 & "The Bro Godz": Dustin Jackson & Colton Cage (w/Jaylee) defeat Shiloh Jonze & "The Top Guys": Kevin Giza & "The Winter Swoldier" Adam Slade. 

The Bros control most of the match, hitting Giza with the "BRO" in the corner, the splash/dropkick combo, and Bro 69. Slade gets a hot tag and delivers uppercuts. He slams DL3 into both Bros in opposite corners and tries to pin him for 2 as the Bros break it up. Shiloh tags in and hits them, but takes off as they swarm him. He tags Slade back in. The Bros suplex him in and DL3 hits him with the Director's Cut for the 3. There's still tension between Giza & Slade.

It is time for Dr. Ted McNaler's Wrestling Clinic. He brings out his former tag team partner and triple crown champion as a special guest, Adam Revolver. He talks about how people come and go, and how he's beat them all. He talks about how he's beaten "Duckboy" and he will never be around here again.

 Sam Thompson comes out and says he's here and challenges Ted to a match at the March 3rd SNS. Adam says he's real big demanding a match and not having anyone to back him up.

Big Zo comes out and says he's not doing anything March 3rd, and if there's anything he hates more than a snake (Adam), it's a bully (Ted). So if they are willing to fight March 3rd, he accepts!

OVW TELEVISION TITLE: Amon defeats "The River City Dragon" Logan James (c) by DQ. LJ tries to take Amon's legs out with kicks. Amon catches him with a big clothesline. Amon with a big chop. LJ tries to come back, hitting Amon with a kick to knock him off his feet. LJ charges at him, but Amon hangs him up across the top rope. Amon stretches him out, but LJ hits an enziguri. They exchange blows. LJ goes off the ropes with some flying forearms. He hits Amon with a Deal Breaker. He goes up top, but Amon gets back up and catches him for a powerbomb. Randall Floyd comes out with a chair and breaks the pin, causing a DQ. Amon is hit again, but it doesn't faze him. Randall throws LJ into Amon and runs off. Amon pedigrees LJ and then chases Randall to the back with the chain.

This ended the TV taping.

Post-Show Dark Matches:

INTERGENDER MATCH: Jaylee & Dimes defeat "The Varsity Babes": Cali & Meg. Dimes starts out with Cali, and Cali reverses everything he tries into pin attempts for 2's. Jaylee gets in and takes Cali down and tags Dimes back in. He throws her off the ropes for a side slam, but she flips him into a hurricanrana. Jaylee tags back in and takes Cali down again, then they double clothesline each other. Both make tags and Meg hits Dimes with two release German suplexes and a spear, but Jaylee blind tags back in. She rolls Meg up from behind for the 3.

After the match, Torey Payne goes after Jaylee. She says everyone knows Jaylee has been running away, but she won't in their lumberjill match at the SNS. She says Jaylee will "feel the Payne".

Chace Destiny (w/Amon, Houdini, & Damion) defeats "The Boy Wonder" Sam Thompson. Chace takes Sam down with a shoulder block, but then Sam knocks Chace down off the ropes again and he rolls out. Sam goes to dive out, but gets a forearm to the face. Chace gets in and distracts the ref as Sam tries to fight off the Void & Amon. Amon slams Sam on the floor and then the ref turns around to see them rolling him back into the ring and they are ejected from ringside. Chace controls for a bit until Sam starts to fire up. He starts to take control by hitting a Russian leg sweep and then he locks in a sleeper hold. This brings out Adam Revolver, who distracts the ref saying that's the disrespect he's talking about, because that's his move. Meanwhile, Ted McNaler sneaks around the ring and tries to hit Sam from behind with his shoe. Sam catches him and Ted rolls out of the ring. As Sam's attention is now on Ted, Chace comes up from behind and plants Sam with his finisher for the 3. After the match, Ted & Adam hit Sam with their finisher.

As always, thanks for reading!
