Pre-Show Dark Matches:

Zo comes in and hits Apollo down and tags Sam back in. Sam forearms Apollo in the face, but turns his back to argue with Dan. Apollo pokes him in the eyes, then Dan comes in and stomps him while the ref keeps Zo from coming after Apollo. They work over Sam, and Dan clubs him hard. Apollo is in and catches a boot from Sam, but Sam hits an enziguri and tags Zo. Zo bowls over Dan, then hits Apollo in the corner. Zo double clotheslines them both and tags Sam. Sam hits the Duck Call on Apollo for the 3.
After the match, Dan sneaks in from behind and hits Sam with another Death Valley Driver. He grabs a mic and says that is now 3 times he has left Sam laying. He will do it again this Saturday and that's all he needs, 1-2-3!

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 OVW TV.

Gilbert Corsey, Shannon the Dude, & Ted McNaler are on commentary, and Mercy is the ring announcer.

"The Trinidad Titan" Justin Smooth defeats Christian Hernandez. They lock up into the corner and Hernandez throws Smooth across the ring. Smooth picks him up and drives him into the corner and shoulders him. Hernandez reverses a throw to the opposite corner and clotheslines him. Smooth comes back with a spinebuster and hits the bicycle kick for the 3.

After the match, Smooth grabs a mic and says he proved once again last week that it doesn't matter the circumstances, he always bounces back. He was jumped, outnumbered, but got up and won his opportunity to fight for the Heavyweight Title. Crazzy Steve, Amon, & the Void come out and surround the ring. Randall Floyd's music hits and he runs out with a chair and stands back-to-back with Smooth. Crazzy Steve says Randall just made a big mistake. Not only will he defeat him tonight, he will destroy him and make sure he does not have a chance for the title. Randall says he wishes he would have beat them with the chair already, and tonight he will defeat Steve!

OVW TELEVISION TITLE MATCH: "Livewire" KTD defeats "The Leading Man" Billy O, "The Star of the Show" (c) by DQ. Billy reintroduces himself and we get underway. Billy takes KTD to the mat and poses. KTD locks the arm and takes Billy down by the leg. Off the ropes, Billy catches KTD and slams him hard. He goes for an elbow drop, but KTD catches his arm and locks it up in a submission. KTD fires away, and Billy rolls out saying KTD tries to hit him in the face. Billy gets in, and KTD goes up top. Billy slams him off the top. KTD tries to fire back, but Billy knees him in the gut.

Billy reverses a throw to the corner, but KTD leaps over him. He hits Billy's face off the top turnbuckle. He sets up for a KO punch, but Billy kicks his arm, then connects with the running knee to the face for the 3.

After the pin, Billy continues to pummel KTD and the ref reverses the decision. Bruce Schneider asks Billy why he continued to hit his opponent when he had the match won. Billy says it's because he hit him in the face and it's his moneymaker. If it gets messed up, he could lose millions of dollars! Let that be a lesson to anyone in the back.

Both men tag out, and Dustin sets up Dimes for the Snapshot, but Dimes slips out. Colton takes him down with the scissor kick, then knocks Eddie off the apron. He tags Dustin, and Dustin hits the splash off the top rope for the 3!
