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, Shannon the Dude, & Gilbert Corsey are on commentary, and Brittany is the ring announcer.

Michael Hayes & Amon start the night off fighting out to ringside and around the ring.

Officials and other superstars try to pull them apart, but they can't. They continue getting loose and beating the crap out of each other and fight back to the back.

Sam Thompson comes out for a TV Title match, but Logan James comes out and says he went ahead and competed Saturday on a hurt knee, but after that match, his knee is really messed up. He can't compete tonight, but if Sam is still looking for a match, he has a sub tonight for the TV Title. Sam agrees before knowing who his opponent will be...

OVW TELEVISION TITLE MATCH: Cardinal (subbing for "The River City Dragon" Logan James) (c) defeats "The Boy Wonder" Sam Thompson. Cardinal grabs Sam and tosses him like a rag doll across the ring twice.
