Nigel tries to fight out of it, but finally passes out.
After the match, Justin Smooth comes out and has the OVW Rule Book in hand. He says it does say that titles can change hands by DQ. He lost by DQ at the Special, but last week, Michael Hayes got disqualified. Therefore, he is a 2-time Heavyweight Champion!

  1. I do not like Justin Smooth but I do agree that if he can lose the title on a dq then so should Michael Hayes. Dean needs to apply the rules across the board and not have different rules for each wrestler.

    1. Well the way I see it is with the TV title gauntlet every week there is no champions advantage and the title can change hands by DQ but last week was just a straight singles match where champions advantage is in play.

  2. I take it Randall Floyd didn't sign with WWE.

    1. He got a good look. Even if he doesn't have a deal with WWE now, his name is out there for them to keep an eye on.
