OVW TV #689: "Halloween Spooktacular"

Hello, tonight's edition of the OVW Report is being taken over by the "Masked Blogger". I, the Masked Blogger was at tonight's Halloween edition of OVW TV, and was even brought into the ring during a costume contest, although I did not win.

Tonight at the Davis Arena, Cliff Compton may have interrupted the wrong man, there was a live edition of the Mixtape with Timmy Danger, Eddie Diamond, & Dylan Bostic, the Femme Fatales were at each other's throats, Alex Silva & Sam Shaw joined forces as Team GutCheck, plus more!

Without further ado: 

Here we go...

Pre-Show Dark Matches: 

The Wild Cards (Shiloh Jonze & Raul LaMotta) b. Stephon "Swag" Smith & The Bodyguy. The Wild Cards were both dressed as their mentor, Crimson. Each had a kneebrace and crutch as well as Crimson tights. Swag was dressed as Urkel from Family Matters and came out to the sitcom's theme song. Bodyguy wanted to show off his beautiful body, but the Wild Cards had different plans in mind. They attacked him and threw him out of the ring. They tried to gang up on Swag, but he came off the ropes and clotheslined both of them. Shiloh rolled out of the ring and grabbed a crutch which grabbed both Swag's and the referee's attention. This allowed Raul to grab the other crutch and pop Swag in the face with it and get the pin. MY TAKE: The Wild Cards appear to have learned some "tricks" from Crimson and it wasn't a "treat" for Swag to get hit with a crutch.

Epiphany vs. Jessie Belle. Epiphany was dressed as Red Riding Hood and she was up against "I Dream of Jessie Belle" who was dressed like a genie. A decent back and forth match that Epiphany controlled early with the size advantage, but Jessie came fighting back. The match ended after a double pin attempt and was declared a draw since both women's shoulders were down. MY TAKE: An odd ending, but it shows how competitive the Women's division is in OVW. The spotlight may be on Heidi, Taeler, & Josette at SNS, but these 2 will be very interested in the outcome.

Jason Wayne & the Platoon (Joe Coleman & Jack Black) b. Elvis Pridemoore, Ryan Howe, & Chris Silvio (w/Mo Green, Cinnamon Twist, & Bobbi Bardot). Coleman & Black are now matching Wayne with camouflage pants. Howe had some "KISS" facepaint tonight. Silvio, Elvis, & Howe had control to start as they worked over the arm of Coleman with quick tags in and out. Coleman finally broke free from Elvis and tagged in Wayne. Elvis took a beating for most of this match until tagging in Howe. Howe was in fire for a bit until Wayne knocked him off the top rope as he was going up for the Chart Topper. Wayne couldn't get the pin, however. Wayne tagged Coleman in as Howe broke free and tagged Elvis back in who had gained a second wind. Elvis took Coleman down with his flying punch, but the pin was broke up. Silvio ran in and fought with Black to the outside as Howe fought with Coleman. Wayne snuck over and grabbed his artillery chain and clocked Elvis which allowed Coleman to get the pin. MY TAKE: Wayne and the Platoon seem amped up for their upcoming encounter with the Mascara Mafia. Will they be able to escape with a win again?

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 #688: "4 Men, 1 Heavyweight Title"

Tonight at the Davis Arena, the Best Team Ever faced Dylan Bostic and a partner of his choosing, Alex Silva & Cliff Compton went head-to-head with the TV Title on the line, Espy planned a party for Paredyse, and in the main event, there was a fatal 4-way with OVW Heavyweight Title implications. Plus, Spike TV was there doing some filming, and King Mo was in attendance in the audience.

Without further ado: 

Here we go...

Pre-Show Dark Match: 

The Mobile Homers & Ryan Howe (w/Brittany Devore) b. Ace Hawkins, Jeremiah Plunkett, & Raphael Constantine. Early on, the Mobile Homers and Howe kept Constantine in their corner as they worked him over and took some swigs of rocket fuel in between. Constantine finally tagged in Ace, but the results weren't much better for him either. He eventually tagged in Plunkett who was able to finally get the upper hand for his team. They worked over Howe for a little bit, before Ace let him get away to make a tag into a fresh Adam Revolver. Adam came in and cleaned house, but had a pinfall broken up by Plunkett & Constantine. Howe & McNaler got in and McNaler threw Constantine to the outside as Howe and Plunkett fought to the outside. Adam set Ace up and together with Ted hit the Double Wide for the pin. MY TAKE: The Mobile Homers "taste" victory again as does Howe after some rocket fuel takes them to the top. 

That was tonight's only pre-show dark match. 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. 24)

This is the OVW Top 20 for the week of October 16-22, 2012 exclusively on OVWmania. What did a title change and surprise returns do to the rankings this week?

Good News From Randy Terrez

OVW Superstar Randy Terrez has been out of action for most of 2012 after suffering a severe injury to his knee in a match against Jessie Godderz back in April. He recently posted this update about his current condition:

"Update: Didn't get a chance to update the fan page this week with the good news. This past Tuesday I was cleared of all physical restrictions on my knee (I wasn't allowed to twist or pivot for 3 months after surgery). With that being said, it is now time to focus on strengthening more and flexibility to get my knee 100%. 3 more months is the best estimate for a return to action. Although 3 months seems like an eternity for me, because wrestling is my passion, my life, and my dream... it is best to play it as safe as possible considering the severity of damage done and the considerable amount of work the doctor's did to put Humpty Dumpty back together again. Stay tuned for more updates and many thanks to all my fans who have sent letters, get well cards, pictures, candy, and gifts my way. I'm very humbled by all of your actions."

Continue to heal and we hope to see you back in the ring soon!

OVW TV #687: "Uh-Oh!"

Tonight at the Davis Arena, we had a huge 8-man tag match. Could Johnny Spade put his trust issues aside? In Femme Fatale action, Josette & Taeler Hendrix were forced to team up. Michael Hayes made a shocking announcement. Alex Silva defended the Television Title. Plus, there were some surprise returns!

Without further ado: 

Here we go...

Pre-Show Dark Match: 

"Party" Marty Scurll & Rockstar Spud b. Eddie Diamond & Raphael Constantine (w/Timmy Danger). This was the OVW debut for Scurll & Spud who are both billed from England. It was clear from the get-go that neither man wanted to team with one another. This match went back and forth, but toward the end, Spud was in the ring with Diamond and Scurll wanted to be tagged in. Spud flipped him off and hit a neckbreaker for the pin. After the match, Scurll argued with Spud, and Spud spit in his face and ran out. MY TAKE: An interesting way to kick off the night. Constantine finally had an opponent his own size in Spud. 

That was tonight's only pre-show dark match. 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.
