Without further ado:

Here we go...

OVW Overdrive (Airing Saturdays at 11AM):

Bryan Kennison & Steven Johnson are on commentary.

"Hood Ninja" Hy Zaya (w/"The Legacy of Brutality": Josh Ashcraft, Big Zo, & Ca$h Flo) defeats William Lutz. Lutz fires away. Off the ropes, Lutz with a dropkick. He hits the eat de-feet, but Hy with a shot to the throat. Off the ropes, Lutz with a twisting neckbreaker for 2. Lutz off the ropes witha  cross body for 2. Hy plants him with a slam into the mat and connects with the Ninja Vanish for 3.

"Mr. Marvelous" Melvin Maximus (w/Mrs. Marvelous) defeats Luscious Lawrence. Luscious looks in the mirror. Mrs. Marvelous takes it away and poses. Luscious does some poses with her before she smacks him on the butt. It's enough of a distraction for Melvin to hit the Marvelous Leg Sweep for the 3.

"The Golden Boy" AJZ defeats DL3 (w/Cali Young). They lock up and DL3 takes the early advantage, raking AJZ across the rope and Cali takes a selfie with him drooped across the rope. AJZ back with a pumphandle slam and spinning cutter to get the 3.

"The Complete Package": "Supernatural" Tony Bizo & "The 6-Tool Product" Anthony Catena defeats "Action" Ashton Cove & "Livewire" KTD. Cove gets the offense taken to him early, before kneeing Bizo and tagging KTD. Bizo takes it to KTD, working the arm and hitting a 1-armed powerbomb. Catena tags in and fires away on KTD, then takes both men down as Cove is legal again. Off the ropes, Catena grabs his knee and Cove knocks him to the outside. KTD tags in and gets a combo side slam/elbow drop from Bizo & Catena for the 3.

Roman Rozell defeats Nigel Winters. Roman with a side headlock after Nigel mocks Roman for his service. Some back and forth, with Roman taking Nigel down to the mat with some mat wrestling. Nigel is knocked to the outside and promptly brought back in. He goes for a DDT, but Roman reverses and locks in a single leg Boston crab for the tapout.

That concludes tonight's edition of Overdrive. I always recommend watching the episode first on TV or online before reading the report. Again, you can check OVW out on Youtube, Roku, Youtoo America Fridays at 12AM Midnight, or WBNA-21 in the Louisville area LIVE at 8PM or repeats Saturdays at 9PM and Overdrive Saturdays at 11AM on WBNA-21. Also, catch OVW on the OVW Network.

Bryan Kennison, Steven Johnson, & Shannon the Dude are on commentary.

Dean Hill is out to start the show. He thanks everyone for staying fans and says there have been some big changes during the time away, including going from national to global. First, he wants the entire locker room out to the ring. He says a horrible thing came from China in March, but we are Americans and will overcome. He says none of the titles will be stripped because of the 30-day rule. There will be no tournaments, that would take a year. Everyone who was champion or #1 contender is still champion or #1 contender. He says he heard from everyone but Amon, who was stripped of the Anarchy Title. There will be a weapons match next week and the last person standing will be the NEW Anarchy Champion. He says tonight, it will be Dimes vs. Corey Storm for the Rush Title. Dimes gets in and says he is making a call, it's not fair. Tony Gunn gets in and says he is the Heavyweight Champion, whether the fans or Dean likes it or not. He doesn't care who gets in his way, even if it's Dean, they will get a Killshot. Dean says it's not just about law anymore, it's set in stone. Tony will defend the title in the coming weeks.

NON-TITLE TAG TEAM MATCH: "The Legacy of Brutality": Ca$h Flo & Big Zo (w/Josh Ashcraft & "Hood Ninja" Hy Zaya) vs. "Zero Gravity" AJ Daniels & "The Nephilim" D'mone Solavino.
D'mone with the quick offense early against Zo, keeping him off balance. AJ & Ca$h both tag in and AJ uses his speed to avoid Ca$h and takes him down with a leg sweep and the countdown kicks. Josh distracts the ref as the L.O.B regains control. Ca$h chokes D'mone in the ropes as Zo plows AJ into the steel ringpost on the outside. Back inside, D'mone gets squashed between Ca$h & Zo, then Zo slams him as Ca$h goes up top. Ca$h hits the frog splash off the top for the 3.
WINNERS: LEGACY by pinfall.

The Gilpinator vs. Adam Revolver.
Adam comes out with cleaning spray and a tape measure and gets on the mic and says this place smells exactly like he thought it would. He says everything should be shut down and everyone should go home. He says the ref can't ref and the Gilp can't fight him. Gilp says he's getting a fight. As Gilp takes his glasses off, Adam sprays him in the eyes and leaves the ring.
NO CONTEST.

"The Mayan Mauler" Drew Hernandez vs. Dustin Jackson.
They both lock up into the corner with clean breaks. Dustin with a hard clothesline off the ropes and then in the corner, then Drew follows back with one. Drew with an arm drag. Dustin slides out of a slam and slams Drew. Off the ropes, Dustin hits his patented dropkick for 2. He spells "BRO", before Drew reverses and shoulders Dustin in the corner. He misses an elbow drop, but hits Dustin in the gut in the corner. A big chop, followed by more shoulders. Dustin out of the corner with a kick to the face for 2. Dustin goes up, but Drew gets up and slams him off. Drew charges into him for 2 as Dustin grabs the ropes. Dustin starts firing back and gets flipped to the apron. Dustin leaps over Drew, but Drew with a German Suplex. Drew runs into a dropkick. Drew rolls out and Dustin leaps out from the top rope. Both men are down as the ref counts. Dustin rolls in at 5 and Drew just beats it at 9. Dustin with a neckbreaker off his shoulders and goes up top. He hits the top rope splash for the 3.
WINNER: DUSTIN by pinfall.

RUSH CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: "The Prince of Flight" Corey Storm vs. Dimes (c).
Dimes avoids Corey until missing an elbow drop. Corey with some roll-up attempts for 2's. He kicks Dimes in the face on the apron. He chops him on the outside and works him over, clubbing him across the apron. Corey goes to kick Dimes, but Dimes moves and he kicks the ringpost. Dimes takes advantage and goes right after the bad leg. Corey tries to fire back, but Dimes takes the leg out again. Off the ropes, Dimes goes for the Change Maker. Corey blocks it and fires back. Dimes begs him off, but Corey says he did this to him and super kicks him.
He goes up top, but Jay Bradley runs out and shoves him off the top rope and clubs him.
WINNER: STORM by DQ, but STILL RUSH CHAMPION: DIMES.

This ended the TV taping.

*AS ALWAYS, THANKS FOR READING!

  1. I think Dean Hill mentioning China was a bad move. Makes it political, should've just said we're dealing with a pandemic and we'll overcome it.
