OVW TV 1023: Dimes is Money

This is the OVW Report for Wednesday, March 20, 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, Dani threatens to "expose" Dustin Jackson, Justin Smooth & Tony Gunn are forced to team up, Ca$h Flo wants his payment from Sam Thompson, plus more!

Without further ado:

Here we go...

Pre-Show Dark Matches:

Chace Destiny defeats William Lutz. Chace locks up the arm and Lutz goes to the corner for the break. Lutz grabs him and they are locked up around the ring. Lutz goes to hit him, but Chace moves and arm drags him. Lutz catches him with a slam off the ropes and tries to pin, but is choking him. He locks in a sleeper, then applies a pressure point to the shoulder. Chace works up and uppercuts him. Lutz avoids a leg sweep and dropkicks him. Chace fights back and goes up top. He leaps off with a sunset flip and gets the 3.

Matt Vine defeats Eddie Knight. Vine shoves Eddie down. Off the ropes, Eddie slides over Vine and rolls him up for 2. Eddie takes his leg out and delivers a legdrop. Vine pokes his eye and kicks him, then clubs him down across the back. Vine slams him and misses an elbow drop. Eddie delivers an atomic drop, then goes up top. Vine catches him and slams him down. He pins for 2. He hits Eddie, but Eddie rolls him up in an inside cradle for 2. Vine catches a kick, but Eddie delivers an enziguri. He goes up again, and again Vine takes him down by hitting the ropes. Vine locks him up in the Figure Four, and Eddie is forced to tap.

OVW Women's Champion Cali Young & "Amazing" Maria James vs. "The It Girls": Valerie Vermin & Jaylee. Jaylee & Maria battle to start. Maria tags in Cali, and Jaylee runs out, tagging Val. Val knees Cali, but Cali comes back and takes control. She tags Maria and Maria butt bumps her in the face in the corner. Cali takes her down for a 2 count. Maria tags back in and her & Val go down. Jaylee & Cali get in and brawl, and the ref can't control them so she calls for the bell, making this a no-contest.

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

Gilbert Corsey, Josh Ashcraft, & Ted McNaler say that Tony Gunn & Justin Smooth will be partners tonight against the Entourage 2.0, Dustin Jackson will defend the TV Title, and more as they get interrupted by Dani. She says she can't believe we cheer for Dustin Jackson. She gets interrupted by Lily.
Lily says as Colton Cage's ex-wife, she has more dirt on Colton than Dani has on Dustin. Dani says Lily is a used restaurant napkin, she's been in everyone's lap. Lily says Dani is the village bicycle, where everyone's had a ride on her! They start shoving and Dustin runs out to break them up.
Colton rolls out from under the ring with a chair and attacks Dustin from behind. He hits him to the back, where he throws him into a locker, then hits him with a chair against the locker. He drags a bloody Dustin back out, then exposes the concrete and DDT's him!

Justin Smooth comes out and says he is pissed off, because he found out he'd have to tag with Tony Gunn tonight. He tells Gunn he sucks and gets the crowd chanting with him. He says he has never faced anyone like the Trinidad Titan. Gunn comes out and says he knows he has a target on his back. He says he doesn't need Smooth. He didn't need him to defeat Abyss, and he doesn't need him to keep the title, or to help him against the Vanilla Ice wannabe rejects. Shiloh Jonze & DL3 come out and Shiloh raps about Gunn shooting blanks, and him being the real #1 contender.
"The Trinidad Titan" Justin Smooth & OVW Heavyweight Champion Tony Gunn defeat "The Entourage 2.0": Shiloh Jonze & DL3 (w/Big D).
Big D charges Gunn & Smooth, and they throw him over the top rope. Shiloh & DL3 attack them from behind. Shiloh throws Gunn hard into the corner. DL3 tags in and chokes him in the corner. Shiloh tags in and works him over, then DL3 tags back in and hits the jumping corner clothesline. Shiloh tags back in and hits Gunn in the corner. Gunn fires up and fires back, hitting a clothesline out of the corner. He hits a release German suplex, and Shiloh tags out as Smooth tags himself in. Smooth hits a spinebuster on DL3 and press slams Shiloh on DL3. He throws Big D out again. Gunn hits a Killshot on Shiloh and Smooth hits the bicycle kick on DL3 for the 3 as they argue. Smooth thought Gunn was trying to Killshot him.

Ca$h Flo comes out and wants Sam Thompson out here now. Sam comes out and says he is a man and came and found him. He has his Xbox and controllers and Ca$h wants to know if it's vintage. Sam says it's not worth $1000, but it's priceless to him. Ca$h walks out of the ring with it and slams it on the steel steps. He then hits it with a chair. Sam dives out at him, but Ca$h grabs him and plows him into the ringpost.
He rolls him back in and gives him the Wall Street Crash and says next week he better pay up or he'll take something from him that he'll never get back.
