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

"King's Ransom": Maximus & Leonis Khan defeat Dimes & Brandon Wolfe. A little offense from Dimes & Wolfe, but Leonis & Maximus dominate again. They hit their jumping clothesline and double spinebuster on Wolfe for the 3.

Justin Smooth is brought out by Gilbert Corsey. Smooth says once again he scored a pinfall and put himself in contention to face Abyss for the OVW Heavyweight Title.

Rocco Bellagio comes out and says Smooth lost to Abyss and he won against Team Nova, so as the longest reigning champion in history, he deserves a shot.

Randall Floyd comes out and says Rocco may be the longest reigning champion, but he also took the longest break in history when he lost it. He deserves a shot.

Randy Royal comes out and says before we go another further, the reason these "old guys" keep coming back is because the guys now can't cut it. He wants to get a shot at the title and Abyss again. Michael Hayes comes out and says it took the entire Void to put him in a casket and he never got his rematch.

All 5 are yelling and shoving as Dean Hill comes out. He says this will be solved by a "five way frenzy" match. It starts with elimination over the top rules. The last 2 will then compete in a regular contest where you win by pinfall or submission. The winner will receive a title shot against Abyss next week at the Halloween special. 

Valerie Vermin (w/Jaylee & Cali) defeats Meg Monroe. Val goes after Meg, but she hits her with a release German suplex. She has her up for the vertical suplex, but Cali causes a distraction and Jaylee hits Meg from behind with the title. Val covers Meg for the 3 and this one is over quick.

Dapper Dan comes out and says he has been here for five years. He talks about his favorite memories, but gets interrupted by DL3, Shiloh Jonze, & Big D. Shiloh says this is sad and all, but it's time for him to go. Dan says he used to respect him, but it would be a nice bookend for him to win the Anarchy Title one more time. Shiloh challenges him to a street fight.

OVW ANARCHY TITLE STREET FIGHT: Shiloh Jonze (w/Big D & DL3) (c) defeats Dapper Dan. Dan tosses Big D out, then tosses Shiloh out on Big D. Dan controls most of the match despite interference from Big D. DL3 stays out of the way most of the time acting conflicted. With Dan in control, DL3 gets in and hugs Dan. Dan picks Shiloh up for the Death Valley Driver, but DL3 low blows him! Shiloh hits a rocket punch and gets the 3.

#1 CONTENDERSHIP for the OVW SOUTHERN TAG TEAM TITLES: "The War Kings": Jax Dane & Crimson defeat "The Demon" Amon & Crazzy Steve (w/"The Void": Chace Destiny, Nigel Winters, & Houdini). Jax & Crimson go after Steve & Amon and toss them out. The Void runs in and get promptly thrown out as well. Crimson hits Steve in the corner. Both men tag out and Jax stomps Amon in the corner. Amon bites Jax and tags Steve, but Steve runs into a clothesline. Jax tags Crimson and they deliver a double hip toss. All 4 men are now fighting on the outside.

Crimson hits him off and Amon tags in. Crimson tags Jax and Jax hits Amon in the corner and hits both him & Steve with a double Samoan drop. The Void gets hit off the apron again, then Jax & Crimson deliver their finisher on Amon for the 3.

FIVE WAY FRENZY where the winner is the NEW #1 CONTENDER for the OVW HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE: "The Show Stealer" Rocco Bellagio defeats "The Trinidad Titan" Justin Smooth, "The Real Deal" Randall Floyd, "The Double R Superstar" Randy Royal, & Michael Hayes. Before the match gets underway, Abyss' music hits. It's Crazzy Steve, Amon, & the Void. Steve says they are so focused on ripping each other apart, they forgot the goal. He says to go ahead and tear each other limb from limb. Abyss will be waiting to pick up the scraps. All 5 go at it and try to eliminate each other. Floyd hits a Deal Breaker on Rocco, dropkick to Hayes, and rock bottom to Royal. We get a corner spot with a double superplex and powerbomb involving all 5 men. Royal & Hayes are on the apron and fighting. Floyd runs through Rocco & Smooth in the ring and double dropkicks them both off. Smooth comes up from behind and dumps Floyd. Rocco is awaiting Smooth to turn around. When he does, he takes him to Plungetown for the 3!

This ended the TV taping.

DARK MATCH: KTD defeats "The Vet" Apollo. KTD with some quick offense. Apollo cheats to take control and works over KTD a bit and says he is going to knock him out. He goes to grab KTD, but KTD hits him with a KO punch for the 3.

DARK MATCH for the OVW WOMEN'S TITLE: Jaylee (c) (w/Cali & Valerie Vermin) defeats Jessie Belle. Jessie with the early offense as Jaylee does her best to run.
