OVW TV 1044: Who Ran "oVe"r Dimes?

This is the OVW Report for Wednesday, August 14, 2019. This episode can be seen on WBNA-21 in the Louisville area on Saturday at 11AM and 9PM, and on the OVW Network. In this episode, the TV Title gauntlet featuring TV Champion Jay Bradley, Justin Smooth & Adam Revolver face Corey Storm and a partner of his choosing, plus more!

Without further ado:

Here we go...

Pre-Show Dark Matches:

Big Zo (w/"The Legacy of Brutality": Jay Bradley, Ca$h Flo, Hy Zaya, & Josh Ashcraft) defeats "The Boy Wonder" Sam Thompson. A total domination for Zo. He hits several splashes and slams, and though Sam hits a kick to the head, it's not enough as Zo release slams him and hits a big splash on the mat for the 3.

Ca$h Flo (w/"The Legacy of Brutality": Jay Bradley, Big Zo, Hy Zaya, & Josh Ashcraft) defeats Lee Holliday. Ca$h with the control early and hard chops in the corner. He rakes Lee's face across the top rope. Off the ropes, Lee leapfrogs and sunset flips Ca$h for 1. Ca$h with another hard chop in the ropes and throws him face first in the turnbuckle. He stomps on his face and headbutts him. Ca$h misses a legdrop, then an elbow drop. Lee starts to fire back. He dropkicks him into the corner and Hy trips him while Josh distracts the ref on the apron. He turns into a running cross body splash from Ca$h for the 3.

"The Real Deal" Randall Floyd defeats Nigel (w/Chace). Floyd controls early, Nigel tries to get in some offense as Chace causes a distraction, but it's not enough as Floyd works over the arm and even though Nigel offers him money out of his wallet, Floyd locks him up in a cross armbreaker for the tapout.

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.
