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.

Gilbert Corsey & Ted McNaler are on commentary, and Brittany & Mercy are the ring announcers.

Tommy Dreamer comes out and talks about how it feels to be in Davis Arena. He used to come every Wednesday night and when he was working for WWE, he had a hand in signing 23 superstars. Some of them are hall of famers. It is incredible to think of the talent and he talks about coming up to 1000 shows and being a part of the Grand Tournament. He is interrupted by Billy O.
Billy says he's old and asks what he has left. Tommy says he wrestled 187 shows last year and is on par to wrestle 187 more this year. Tommy says he likes Billy's little barbed wire title and wants a match.
Sam Thompson comes out and says he respects Tommy, but he has a match scheduled against Billy for the TV Title. Billy says that's true, so they will have to put that off. Tommy has an idea that originated in ECW. A 3-way dance. Tommy will face Sam. Whoever wins will face Billy, but if they go to a draw, Billy will be in the match with BOTH titles on the line!

Katie Forbes comes out and says she has wrestled all over the world and is happy to be here in OVW on the road to 1000. She is here to go after the Women's Title and be the queen of OVW. Jaylee comes out and says she is the one that she has to go through if she wants a shot. Katie shoves her down and we have a match...

Jaylee comes back and works Katie over in the opposite corner. Katie comes back with a press slam. Jaylee tries to fire back, but Katie hits a scissor kick for 2. She then gets a quick rollup for the 3.

DARK SEGMENT: Tony Gunn comes out and says he got word from Dean Hill in the back that he will face Tommy Dreamer in the first round of the Grand Tournament. He says it's funny that he is anti-hardcore and will be facing "Mr. Extreme". He tells Tommy to turn his hearing aid up, that tomorrow he will be victorious, because this is the Gunn Show! Click, click, boom.

Amon is out with the Void and says HE's here, the rightful owner of the OVW Heavyweight Title, Abyss! Abyss asks Dean Hill where his title is? He says he warned him 2 weeks ago that if he doesn't get back what he wants, he would unleash carnage like never seen before. Now he comes up with some tournament? He says it's on! He is going to pick apart this roster and says the people behind him are family. One thing about family is they sacrifice.
He then clotheslines Chace Destiny & Houdini, splashes them in opposite corners, and chokeslams them both. Amon has Nigel, and throws him into a black hole slam from Abyss. Abyss says this is the road to 1000, and the road to destruction! At episode 1000, he will be the OVW Heavyweight Champion!

DARK MATCH: "The Empire State Goliath" Cardinal defeats William Lutz. Lutz with a dropkick and boots to the face as Cardinal charges at him in the corner. He jumps off the ropes into a huge smack. Cardinal takes him down hard and then locks in a submission. He tosses him out of the ring twice. He then hits a huge slam for the 3.
After the match, he delivers a running brainbuster and tells Lutz he got "carded".
