OVW TV 1013: Dean Throws Down the Gauntlet

This is the OVW Report for Wednesday, January 9, 2019. This episode can be seen on WBNA-21 in the Louisville area on Saturday at 11AM and 9PM, and online at OVW TV. In this episode, Dean Hill makes an announcement about the OVW TV Title, Jaylee addresses Cali about her actions at the Nightmare Rumble, plus more!

Without further ado:

Here we go...

Pre-Show Dark Matches:

"Mister Marvelous" Melvin Maximus defeats William Lutz (w/Ashton Cove). Melvin shoves Lutz down into the corner. Lutz with a wristlock, but Melvin flings him down. Cove gets on the apron distracting Melvin, and Lutz hits him from behind. Melvin just stares him down and backs him up into a corner. He flings him across the ring with a huge hip toss. He charges Lutz in the corner, but Lutz moves and kicks the leg. Melvin comes back, splashing Lutz in the corner and clotheslining him. He knocks Cove off the apron, then delivers an atomic drop to Lutz. He locks in the bearhug and Lutz taps.

Cali Young (w/"The It Girls": Valerie Vermin & Jaylee) defeats Miss Hanna. Jaylee & Val get on the apron and distract Hanna, allowing Cali to hit her from behind. Hanna locks up the arm and then goes into a side headlock. Off the ropes, Hanna shoulder blocks her down. Another distraction allows Cali to regain control. She delivers a snapmare and tries to pin for 2. Into the corner, Cali kicks her and distracts the ref so Val can choke her from the outside. She throws Hanna to the opposite corner and charges, but Hanna moves. She comes back with clotheslines and a cartwheel into a forearm shot. The It Girls cause another distraction and Cali takes advantage. She hits her finisher for the 3.

Big Zo defeats "Black Sheep" Kevin James Weatherbee. Zo with a big slam. Zo shoulder blocks him down. KJW stomps on his foot and runs off the ropes, Zo takes him down with a roundhouse kick. Zo throws him to the corner and hits the cartwheel butt bump and back elbows. KJW tries to pull his head down across the top rope, but Zo blocks it and flings him back in. Zo takes him down with a running cross body 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 OVW TV.

Crimson comes out and says they have been all over, recently winning their way into the Crockett Cup Tournament at the NWA pop-up show in Tennessee. He makes an open challenge to any team in the back that would like a shot as they have been through team after team. Kings Ransom comes out, but before they can say anything, Amon & Crazzy Steve come out. Steve says they deserve a shot. Crimson says his partner, Jax Dane, isn't here. How about they fight tonight and they might give the winners a shot at their titles.. He gets Steve riled up by saying that Kings Ransom was talking about them in back. They throw the Void at them and start brawling on the outside.

"Kings Ransom": Maximus & Leonis Khan defeat Amon & Crazzy Steve (w/"The Void": Chace Destiny & Nigel Winters). Amon & Steve dominate early after the attack on the outside, working Maximus over.

Jaylee comes out with "The It Girls" (Cali & Valerie Vermin) and asks Cali if she realizes what she did. Cali says she's welcome, but Jaylee says she doesn't understand what she did, she cost her everything. Brittany Devore comes out and tells Jaylee that Cali does deserve some respect, being a former champion. She tells Cali that she needs more allies than acquaintances. Cali is confused on what she even means. She ends up challenging Brittany for the SNS on February 8. Brittany accepts.

Gilbert Corsey brings out "Shotgun" Tony Gunn, the winner of the Nightmare Rumble. Gunn says he has been here for 6 years and this is the first OVW Heavyweight Title opportunity he has gotten and it feels good. He starts talking about fighting Abyss, but gets interrupted by Adam Revolver & Shannon the Dude. Revolver says it's time for some "gun control" and says the Revolver beat the Shotgun. Gunn says Tyler Matrix had already eliminated Revolver. Revolver says footage can be doctored. They end up fighting and Gunn goes for a killshot, but STD hits him from behind. Revolver hits Gunn from behind as Gunn goes after STD and rolls out. Dean Hill comes out and says he has an announcement. At the show on February 8, Tony Gunn can pick a partner to go up against Shannon the Dude & Adam Revolver. Gunn says he chooses Tony Vanetti!

Dean then says he has another announcement regarding the TV Title and asks Colton Cage to make his way out. He says he likes to change things up, so the TV Title will now be defended weekly in a gauntlet!
