OVW TV #989: Beware the Campaign of Carnage!

This is the OVW Report for Wednesday, August 1, 2018. This episode can be seen on WBNA-21 in the Louisville area on Saturday at 11AM and 9PM, and online at www.ovwrestling.com/ovw-media.html. In this episode, Billy O faces Dapper Dan in a Title vs. Title match, DL3 has another script for his next great production, Jaylee defends the Women's Title against Valerie Vermin, plus more!

Without further ado:

Here we go...

Pre-Show Dark Matches:

"The Trinidad Titan" Justin Smooth defeats Nigel Winters (w/"The Void": Houdini & Chace Destiny). Smooth is bandaged from the chokeslam through the table courtesy of Abyss last week. Houdini causes a distraction, and Nigel jumps on Smooth's back. Smooth flips him off his back and Chace causes a distraction. Nigel jumps on again and tries to unwrap the bandage as he clubs Smooth in the back. Smooth elbows him in the face, then connects with the bicycle kick for the 3.

SOCIAL MEDIA EXCLUSIVE: OVW Southern Tag Team Champions "The Bro Godz": Dustin Jackson & Colton Cage defeat "Livewire" KTD & William Lutz (w/"The Vet" Apollo). Dustin takes it to Lutz early and Lutz rolls out. KTD runs in, but Dustin clubs him as Colton comes in and hits him as well. They then deliver a double back el-bro. Lutz runs back in, but is taken back down. KTD tags in, but still doesn't fare well as he is taken down with the Snapshot for the 3.

SOCIAL MEDIA EXCLUSIVE: "Wrestling's Rockstar" Ryan Howe defeats Chace Destiny. Howe quick out of the gate with a forearm, several slams, and the strumming fist drop. He locks in the Whammy Bar, but Chace gets in the ropes. He wraps Chace up in the ropes with a tarantula. He lets go before the 5 count and goes up top, then connects with the Chart Topper 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 & Ted McNaler are on commentary, and Brittany & Mercy are the ring announcers.

"The War Kings": Jax Dane & Crimson defeat Dimes & "The Boy Wonder" Sam Thompson. Sam hits and kicks Jax, but doesn't faze him, then gets plowed down off the ropes. Dimes tags in, as does Crimson. Dimes dropkicks him, but quickly gets taken back down. Jax Samoan drops both men, then Crimson spears Sam. He throws Dimes to Jax, and they hit their finisher (the cutter off Jax's shoulders) for the 3.
After the match, Crimson says he told everyone they came here for one reason. The OVW Southern Tag Team Titles. He says that him & Jax are free Saturday. Since they came through the door, they've been knocking down doors and taking off heads. They challenge the Bro Godz for the titles at the SNS. The Bros come out, but get taken down by the War Kings. Crimson says they need a challenge. The Bros get back in and Dustin Jackson dropkicks Jax out of the ring. They then hit Crimson with the Snapshot and say if they want a war, they got a war, bro.

Big Zo defeats BGB. BGB tries to lock up the arm. Off the ropes, Zo plows him down. He launches him across the ring. BGB tries an uppercut and a splash in the corner. He leaps at Zo, but is caught. Zo flings him down and hits a boot in the corner. BGB jumps on him, but Zo hits a fallaway slam. Zo goes up and crashes down on BGB with the Zo Bomb for the 3.

DARK SEGMENT: Tony Gunn comes out and says that hardcore wrestling is garbage wrestling, trash wrestling, and nonsense wrestling. He is the best wrestler here. He says Dapper Dan is going against Billy O and Dan is a lost cause. He hopes Billy O wins, even though he is still a better wrestler than he is, because he will be one step closer in ridding OVW of hardcore!

DL3 says he promised a blockbuster last week and as usual, he delivered. This week, he has another script. Instead of "Million Dollar Baby", this one is titled "Zero Dollar Baldy" and it's about Randall Floyd. This brings out Shiloh Jonze dressed as Floyd. Shiloh mocks Floyd, which brings the real Floyd out. He says Shiloh looks stupid and says he got word that he gets to face one of these two bozos. He asks who it will be. DL3 distracts him saying he brought him in this company and it allows Shiloh to attack from behind.
Shiloh Jonze (w/DL3) defeats "The Real Deal" Randall Floyd. Floyd is on fire, taking Shiloh down. He hits an overhead suplex and powerslam. DL3 accidentally trips Shiloh, and Shiloh accidentally hits a cutter to DL3 to send him off the apron. Shiloh breaks away from cutter attempts and gets on the apron. Floyd tries to suplex him in, but DL3 trips him up and Shiloh falls on him for the 3!
After the match, Floyd says he was promised both of them, so he wants them both in a handicap match at SNS!

DARK SEGMENT: Hayley Shadows comes out with Kaci Dillon and says they are known as "The Revelations". Tonight, they picked Meg to face, but don't know who her partner will be. Kaci says those little girls in the back don't belong in the ring with them.

OVW TELEVISION TITLE vs. ANARCHY TITLE MATCH: "The Leading Man & Star of the Show" Billy O (c) defeats "The Man" Dapper Dan (c). Billy brings out a motorcycle helmet to "protect his beautiful face" from hardcore wrestling. Dan has a kendo stick, but kicks Billy instead and then hits him with the stick across Billy's back. Billy comes back with a spear with the helmet on. He catches Dan with abig boot. He goes out and brings in a crutch and metal tray. He hits Dan with the helmet, but Dan fires back. He hits Billy with the tray and Billy retreats in the corner.
Tony Gunn sneaks out and blasts Dan from behind with the stick from his protest sign in the neck. Billy then hits the running high knee and gets the 3!

DARK SEGMENT: Big Zo comes out and says welcome to Zo-VW! He says it's Zo time, but Saturday night it will be Zo time when he faces Jay Bradley to find out who the real Heavyweight is. Jay thinks he's a fluke, but he will find out he's not come Saturday!

OVW WOMEN'S TITLE MATCH: Valerie Vermin defeats Jaylee (c). Jaylee goes right after Val and pounds her on the mat. She locks in the armbreaker, but Val gets to the ropes. Jaylee goes right back on the attack and locks it in again. Val taps out, but Jaylee refuses to break the hold, so the ref reverses the decision.
After the match, Cali runs out and attacks Jaylee.
Meg runs out and tries to break them apart, but Cali turns around and forearms Meg in the face. Meg leaves as Jaylee recovers and attacks Cali from behind. Jaylee now locks in the armbreaker on Cali and won't break it, until Rebel runs out!
Rebel goes after Jaylee and tries to hit her finisher, but Jaylee slides out and gets out of the ring. Rebel says she can run, but this Saturday, it's already signed. Rebel has returned and is coming for the OVW Women's Title!

Amon comes out and says he's here...the NEW OVW Heavyweight Champion, "The Monster" Abyss! Amon asks him how it feels, but Justin Smooth's music hits. He says he's been thinking about him all week long. All the pain, but he will not be stopped! He wants his rematch tonight! Amon laughs and says he's seen nothing yet. He calls for a ref and says the monster is ready!
OVW HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH: "The Monster" Abyss (c) (w/Amon) vs. "The Trinidad Titan" Justin Smooth. Before the match begins, Dean Hill comes out and says you can't have an officially sanctioned title match without an official champion. Abyss cannot just be handed the title and since Amon vacated it, he is no longer champion either. Until he can figure out what to do with the situation, he asks Abyss for the title back. Dean takes it, but Abyss wraps his hand around Dean's throat. Smooth goes after Abyss, but
Amon jumps in the ring and they double team him. Amon shoves Smooth into a Black Hole Slam from Abyss. Abyss tells Dean to give him the title back, the title is his! He says he doesn't care who or what he has to go through, he will get the title back and unleash a campaign of carnage that you have never seen until he does!

This ended the TV taping.

DARK MATCH: "The Empire State Goliath" Cardinal defeats Ashton CoveCardinal plows Cove into the corner, then launches him across the ring. He chops him hard, but misses a charge. Cove tries to chop and hit him, but to no avail. Cardinal clotheslines him down hard, then hits him with the spinning cutter for the 3.
After the match, Cardinal tells him he got "carded".

DARK MATCH: Meg & Rebel defeat "The Revelations": Kaci Dillon & Hayley Shadows. Rebel & Hayley start. Hayley with a wristlock, but Rebel reverses out and works Hayley over. Kaci tags in, but gets a drop toehold. Meg tags in and locks in a side headlock. They go off the ropes trying to knock each other down. Meg gets Kaci down and tries to pin for 2. Hayley tries to distract, but Rebel & Meg stay on top. Meg takes Kaci down with a cross body for 2. Things break down and all 4 end up in the ring. Meg spears Kaci and Rebel and Hayley are in the corner. Rebel knocks Hayley down and hits a double foot stomp for the 3.
