Dean Hill comes out and says he has 2 big announcements. First, starting October 1, OVW TV moves to Tuesday nights live on WBNA-21 at 8PM. Secondly, two big superstars from the Tuesday night tradition of wrestling in Louisville at the Gardens will be there...Robert Gibson & Ricky Morton, the Rock 'n' Roll Express! Justin Smooth comes out and says no one wants to see the Rock 'n' Roll Express, they were wrestling before he was born. He wants to know who he will be facing for his OVW Heavyweight Title. Corey Storm comes out and says the only thing that saved Smooth was getting his foot on the bottom rope. When Smooth pinned him, though, Smooth's foot was under the bottom rope!
