OVWmania Presents: OVW Top 20 (Ed. 19)

This is the OVW Top 20 for the week of September 11-17, 2012 exclusively on OVWmania. After all the title changes this week, where do the OVW stars land on the list?

OVW TV #682: "Championship Changes"

Tonight at the Davis Arena, we had two title defenses. Which championships were on the line and which ones changed hands? Plus, what does the OVW landscape now look like heading into the next Saturday Night Special on October 6?

Without further ado:

Here we go...

Pre-Show Dark Matches: 

Rob Terry b. Eddie Diamond (w/"The Hype Man" Timmy Danger). Terry charged after Diamond twice, but Diamond ducked under him both times. Diamond posed, but turned around into Terry's grasp. Terry ran him into the corner as Danger got up on the apron. Terry got distracted and Diamond tried to jump on his back, but basically ran into a brick wall. He ran off the ropes and tried to jump on Terry again, but was caught and side slammed for the pin. MY TAKE: Big Rob continues to destroy everything in his path as he works toward his goal of once again becoming Heavyweight Champion.

Taeler Hendrix (w/Dylan Bostic) b. Jessie Belle. Taeler argued with Jessie in the middle of the ring before putting her hand up. Jessie grabbed her hand and bit it. They went back and forth with roll ups. Jessie got Taeler and threw her into the corner. She charged Taeler and hit her with a butt bump. She tried a second time, but Taeler caught her and took her down by her legs. She then went for the pin and got the 3 with her feet on the ropes and an assist from Dylan helping to hold her feet. MY TAKE: Taeler, by hook or by crook, finally got back on the winning track this week. Can she thwart off the competition in the Women's division when they come after her title?

 

That concludes tonight's pre-show dark matches. I always suggest watching the show first before reading my full report. You can find the shows posted online late Thursday afternoons/evenings at www.ovwrestling.com/tv.

OVWmania Presents: OVW Top 20 (Ed. 18)

***Before we get into tonight's Top 20, please take a second and send your prayers and well wishes to WWE Hall of Famer and wrestling legend, Jerry "the King" Lawler, who collapsed at ringside during WWE RAW tonight. OVWmania hopes "Kingfish" is okay and recovers 100%***

  

 This is the OVW Top 20 for the week of September 4-10, 2012 exclusively on OVWmania. Where do tomorrow's superstars today rank this week?

OVW TV #681: "Big Rob Blames Who?"

Tonight at the Davis Arena, we had the fallout from SNS. Rob Terry was angry about lasting for over an hour in the Nightmare Rumble only to be eliminated, but who was the focus of his frustrations?

Without further ado:

Here we go...

Pre-Show Dark Matches: 

Elvis Pridemoore (w/Bobbi Bardot) b. VIP. A very sloppy match, and the crowd was dead for this opening contest. VIP controlled most of the offense early, but Elvis came back and rolled VIP up for the pin. MY TAKE: I wonder if we will ever see any more interaction between Bobbi & Raphael Constantine, especially now that she is coming out with Elvis and pimping his CD.

Epiphany b. "Bodyguy" Max Wolfgang. Bodyguy came out and said he was going to prove why his beautiful body belonged in Ohio Valley Wrestling. He then issued an open challenge that was answered by Epiphany. Epiphany kicked him in the gut and then hit a massive slam for the pin, and this match was over quick. MY TAKE: Epiphany doesn't mess around! Man or woman, Epiphany is a tough competitor in the ring.

 

That concludes tonight's pre-show dark matches. I always suggest watching the show first before reading my full report. You can find the shows posted online late Thursday afternoons/evenings at www.ovwrestling.com/tv.

OVW TV #680: "Fatal 4 Ways & Pick Your Poison"

Tonight at the Davis Arena, we had many fatal 4 way matches for opportunities to enter late (spots 26-29) in the Nightmare Rumble, as well as the dreaded #1 spot. We also had a bet between Johnny Spade & Jamin Olivencia on who was better.

Without further ado:

Here we go...

Pre-Show Dark Matches: 

Taeler Hendrix (w/Dylan Bostic) b. Epiphany. A humorous spot early on as Taeler tried to clothesline Epiphany, but didn't even budge her. Taeler tried to regroup outside the ring and while on the ring apron, Epiphany knocked her off and Dylan failed to catch her, causing her to get up and yell at and slap him. She got back in to more offense from Epiphany, but Dylan got on the ring apron distracting Epiphany. Taeler was able to win with a roll-up while holding the ropes. MY TAKE: Although it wasn't a title match, Taeler continues to hold on strong to the Women's Championship. Will she have to defend at SNS?

Fabiano Rolento & Raphael Constantine b. Eddie Diamond & Elvis Pridemoore (w/"The Hype Man" Timmy Danger). Fabiano started off with Diamond as he showed off his karate skills. A little back and forth between the two before they each tagged in their partners. Constantine & Elvis went at it, and Elvis took the advantage after Danger tripped Constantine. Elvis tagged Diamond back in, and he worked over Constantine until a tag to Fabiano. Fabiano took the fight to Diamond, and was able to hit a finisher for the win. MY TAKE: Strange pairings in this matchup, but I didn't care. I got to wear my sombrero and watch Fabiano get a victory!

 

That concludes tonight's pre-show dark matches. If you plan on watching the show first, you should pick back up reading later as I move into the main show. I will always recommend watching the show first before reading my report. You can find the shows online at www.ovwrestling.com/tv.
