OVWmania Presents: OVW Top 20 (Ed. 33)

This is the newly designed OVW Top 20 for the week of January 1-7, 2013 exclusively on OVWmania. Some readers didn't like or were confused by the design of having singles, tag teams, and the ladies all bunched together, so this edition will feature the Top 10 Singles + Top 5 Tag Teams + Top 5 Femme Fatales = OVW Top 20! Each section will consist of the Champion followed by the top contenders.

OVW Saturday Night Special January 2013 Results

These are the results for the first Saturday Night Special of 2013 on January 5. Tonight at the Davis Arena, we saw titles change hands, a brutal ladder match between Jamin Olivencia & Cliff Compton, a war between Team OVW and the Coalition, the return of 2 popular superstars, and a vicious hardcore match between Trailer Park Trash & Flash Flanagan!

Without further ado:

Here we go... 

"The Ken of OVW, Justin Bieber of Professional Wrestling, & King of Pink" Dylan Freak'n Bostic vs. Ryan Howe. Howe starts off playing the guitar and singing about Bostic calling himself the King of Pink, saying he needs to be matched up with Paredyse. As Howe puts his guitar away in the corner, Bostic tries to sneak attack, but Howe moves and Bostic runs into the turnbuckle. Howe works over Bostic's arm, and then slams him. He goes up top for the Chart Topper, but Bostic rolls out of the ring. Howe grabs for him, but Bostic yanks his arm across the top rope. Bostic gets back in, but Howe comes back with punches, throws him off the ropes and backflips him. Bostic crawls into the corner where Howe charges after him, but Bostic grabs him and pulls him face first into the second turnbuckle. Bostic tries to grab him out of the corner, but Howe kicks him off. Howe goes to the top rope, but Bostic pushes the ref into the ropes making Howe fall in a bad spot and down to the mat. Bostic goes for the pin and gets the 3 with his feet on the ropes. WINNER: BOSTIC by pinfall. MY TAKE: A good match to kick the night off. It really got the sold out Davis Arena crowd warmed up for the rest of the night's action.

There were no pre-show dark matches since they went from one TV taping to another.

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 Special Report: Live Event Results

Even though there was not a TV taping tonight, OVW kicked off 2013 with a live event at the Davis Arena that featured the owner himself, Danny Davis in action.

Ryan Howe b. "VIP" Joe Rosa by pinfall following the Chart Topper.

"White Kryptonite" Eddie F. Diamond (w/Timmy "Rampage" Danger) defeated the Bodyguy by pinfall following an inverted DDT.

Elvis Pridemoore b. Stephon J. Baxter III by pinfall following a stunner. After the match, Stephon got clotheslined by the Assassin.

"Nightmare" Danny Davis & Trailer Park Trash b. The Platoon of Wayne's "Kamikaze of Combat Communications" Joe Coleman & "Commodore of the Constitution" Jason Wayne by pinfall after Davis hit a neckbreaker on Coleman followed by a flying leg drop from Trash. Before the match, Wayne & Coleman came out and told Trash that Davis is too old to find his way around and that's why he couldn't make it last week, and that Trash should get him a compass. They revealed that in tribute they were wearing the Nightmare stars around their eyes when they pulled off their sunglasses. Danny Davis snuck out with a trash can lid and hit them both in the back to start the match.

Shiloh Jonze (w/"Rudo" Raul LaMotta) b. "Marksman" Nick Dumeyer by pinfall after hitting him with brass knucks while the ref was distracted by Raul.

Paredyse b. Dylan Bostic (w/Taeler Hendrix) by pinfall following the Long Kiss Goodnight.

OVWmania Presents: Top 10 Stories of 2012

Hello everyone! Instead of the regularly scheduled Top 20, OVWmania presents the Top 10 stories that happened in OVW in 2012. Especially with it being New Year's Eve, let's take a trip down memory lane and "countdown" the most noteworthy events as we head into 2013 and the next big event for OVW, the January 5th Saturday Night Special.

OVWmania's Superstar Spotlight: Jamin Olivencia

This is the final Superstar Spotlight for the month of December. Starting in 2013, I will be cutting back to 1 or 2 per month. The weekly Spotlights for December were done as an introductory experiment.

JAMIN OLIVENCIA

OVW Television Champion

From: Buffalo, NY

Height: 5'9" Weight: 210 lbs.

Trained by the legendary Rip Rogers and the amazing staff at OVW, Jamin Olivencia has been wrestling since he was 17 years old. He started with OVW in 2005, but on August 1, 2007, he teamed with T.J. Dalton to win his first title as he captured the OVW Southern Tag Team Championships from the James Boys (Kassidy and K.C. James). More impressively, he has won the OVW Television Title a record 8 times. He was the first TV Champion following the end of the WWE-OVW relationship, and is currently the OVW TV Champion. He has defeated several tough opponents including former WWE superstar James Curtis, Rudy Switchblade, Mike Mondo, Paredyse, Mohamad Ali Vaez, and most recently Joe Coleman.

He has appeared in other promotions over the years like WWE, wrestling on Sunday Night Heat and Superstars, and appearing as a man in white alongside fellow OVW superstar Dylan Bostic to take Daniel Bryan to a mental health institute on an episode of RAW. He has also worked a dark match for TNA against Stevie Richards and appeared in ROH against Mike Bennett. Jamin has also branched out beyond the ring. He has appeared in "The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity" at both the Actor's Theatre in Louisville and the Dallas Theater Center, where he acted in and choreographed most of the wrestling scenes. He was also cast on the 4th season of the Oxygen reality show Love Games.

 

He was ranked at #454 in the 2012 PWI Top 500. Jamin finishes most of his opponents off with the Standing O, a jumping guillotine DDT. Jamin deserves a "Standing O" for all his accomplishments so far, but with 10 years of experience at the age of 27, Jamin is only going to get better with time.

You can follow him on twitter @JaminOlivencia.

OVW Special Report: Live Event Results

Even though there was not a TV taping tonight, the Davis Arena was still full of hot action on this very chilly Wednesday night. Due to the weather, however, Danny Davis was not able to make it to the show tonight. More on that in a moment. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas yesterday. Unlike my usual Wednesday night reports, this will just be a quick recap of tonight's action. My normal Wednesday night report is also up for viewing for the episode that will air online at ovwrestling.com/tv tomorrow and in the Louisville area on Saturday afternoon. Again, I stress that my reports for the Wednesday TV tapings should be read AFTER viewing the show unless you cannot view it for some reason or are just in a hurry to see what happens. Now for tonight's results:

Trailer Park Trash came out and told everyone that due to the snowfall in Northern Indiana, Danny Davis could not make it to the show tonight. He told everyone in attendance that if they came back next week with their ticket stubs, they would get 2 for 1 admissions. The Platoon's Jason Wayne & Jack Black came out and Wayne said weather didn't stop them when they were storming the beaches in Normandy. Danny Davis was scared. Trash says he'll make them a deal. If they agree to sign an open contract for next Wednesday's live event, he will face them both in a handicap match tonight. Wayne agrees to set up the main event.

"The Ken of OVW and Justin Bieber of Professional Wrestling" Dylan Bostic defeated "Marksman" Nick Dumeyer by pinfall following a backstabber.

Stephon J. Baxter III defeated Austin Bradley by pinfall following a leaping butt bump. A funny moment during the match when Stephon "Urkeled" up and took Austin down and said "Did I do that?" Following the match, the Assassin took out Austin with 3 clotheslines.

"White Kryptonite" Eddie F. Diamond (w/Timmy "Rampage" Danger) defeated the Bodyguy by pinfall following the Soulja Boy Shuffle.

"Smooth" Johnny Spade defeated SK Evesledge by pinfall following a super kick and senton bomb. During the match, Spade laid some nasty chops in on Evesledge and even referee Joe Wheeler got involved and pushed Evesledge down for arguing with him.

Alex Silva defeated Doug Williams by pinfall after hitting the Silva Surfer. In my opinion, this was the best match of the night.

In the main event, Trailer Park Trash defeated the Platoon of Wayne by DQ. Trash had locked up with Wayne and took him into the corner. Black ran in the ring and hit Trash from behind. Black & Wayne continued to double team Trash and Wheeler called for the bell. The POW then handcuffed Trash to the ropes and continued to hammer away. Wayne ordered Black to go get a chair so that they could break his leg. Wheeler and referee Josh Ashcraft tried to yell at them to stop. Before they could do any damage, Johnny Spade with a lead pipe, Timmy Danger with a 2x4, Eddie Diamond with a metal sign, and Alex Silva with a can of Lysol (?) ran out and chased them away. Trash then got on the mic and said that him and Danny might be getting up in years, but they still knew how to kick butt and would see them next week. Before the night closed, Trash & Spade said their goodbyes to referee Joe Wheeler. Unfortunately, his last night was tonight and he will be unable to ref the tag match with Trash & Danny Davis next week.

OVW TV #697: "A Spade Up The Sleeve"

This is the OVW Report, Part 1 from the night of Wednesday, December 19, 2012. There were 2 weeks of episodes taped, but this report only covers the first hour that was taped and will be available for viewing online tomorrow (December 27).

In this episode, The Coalition struck again, Dylan Bostic was in action, Jamin was scheduled to defend the OVW TV Title, the Best Team Ever wore some interesting ring gear, Josette got Flash a warmup match, and the Coalition went to battle with James "Moose" Thomas and company.

Without further ado: 

Here we go...

Pre-Show Dark Matches:

The Wild Cards: "Rudo" Raul LaMotta & Shiloh Jonze b. "Marksman" Nick Dumeyer & Stephon J. Baxter III. The Wild Cards attack from behind to start the match. The two teams exchange blows, but Raul & Shiloh are on top when the Assassin's music hits. Raul & Shiloh grab the ref and hide on the far side of the ring floor. Assassin comes in and takes out Dumeyer with a massive clothesline. Stephon turns around and after seeing the Assassin, runs from the ring to the back. After the Assassin leaves, Raul picks up the referee and they get in the ring to make the pin. MY TAKE: Well, the Wild Cards get a tag team win, but give the assist to the mysterious Assassin.

"VIP" Joe Rosa b. Sean Conway. VIP & Conway lock up, but VIP takes the advantage and controls most of the match. He lays in some chops and hits a big spinebuster, but Conway kicks out. Conway tries to make a comeback hitting some clotheslines, but VIP grabs the referee. Conway comes up behind VIP to grab him, but VIP raises his leg and low blows Conway, where the ref can't see it. VIP then hits a death valley driver like maneuver to finish him off for the victory. MY TAKE: VIP picks up a win and has the potential to be a major player. Let's see where he goes from here. 

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.

Merry Christmas from OVWmania!

OVWmania wishes everyone a very Merry Christmas day and thanks you for your continued support of OVW and OVWmania!
