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. Again, you can check it out on WBNA-21 in the Louisville area Saturdays at 11AM and 9PM (check local listings) and on OVW's official website Mondays at www.ovwrestling.com/ovw-media.html.

Dr. Ted McNaler, Mike Lacett, & Gilbert Corsey are on commentary, and Gilbert is the ring announcer.

Dean Hill comes out to be interviewed by Gilbert Corsey. He says he had 3 altercations with Michael Hayes last week and was told to come out and talk about it. He says Hayes filed a grievance, and Dean is now suspended until they can look at the case and make a decision. He apologizes that he will be gone for some time. Tyler Matrix comes out and says he shouldn't go anywhere. Dean says he has to, but Tyler asks him to stay for at least 30 more seconds and make a match between him & Hayes. Hayes comes out and says no one is talking about his win at War Games, and Dean needs to leave. His mission is to get rid of old dinosaurs like him and change this business. Dean says he may have won this battle, but he won't win the war. Matrix and Hayes are in one another's faces, and Hayes says Matrix needs to worry about his handicap match against the Bro Godz tonight.

"The Pastor of Disaster" Rev. Stuart Miles defeats Ca$h Flo (w/"The East End Villain" Josh Ashcraft & Dapper Dan). Stu with some early offense, and a back body drop. Josh gets on the apron, allowing Ca$h to hit him from behind. Ca$h throws him to the outside twice, but both times Dan rolls Stu back in without hitting him. Ca$h chops him hard 3 times in the corner. Stu with the Holy Trinity of chops, and a be healed. He splashes Ca$h in the corner, then misses another, and Ca$h with another chop. Ca$h goes to suplex Stu in from the apron, but Dan trips Ca$h up and holds his foot down for Stu to get the 3!

After the match, Ca$h tries to figure out what happened and asks the crowd who did it. He asks Dan, but he denies it.

OVW TELEVISION TITLE MATCH: "The River City Dragon" Logan James defeats "The Real Deal" Randall Floyd (c). A quick back and forth opening. Floyd hits a big powerslam and locks in a headlock. LJ back with a chinbuster and some flying forearms, but runs into a clothesline that turns him inside out for 2. Floyd goes off the ropes and LJ catches him with a dropkick. Both men are down. They exchange blows as they get to their feet. LJ hits the pele kick and a big DDT for 2. LJ goes up for the frog splash. Floyd moves, but LJ lands on his feet.

Smooth with a big slam, but then Apollo pulls him down in the turnbuckle. Apollo gets in some shots, but Smooth comes back with the bicycle kick. On the outside, Shannon the Dude is making Mike Lacett move from "his" commentary spot and Big Jon comes out to chase STD out of the spot and around the ring.

Slade & Giza hit some dives to the outside. Alo & Slade are in the ring competing and Slade gets taken down. With Alo waiting for Slade to get up, the masked man from last week comes out and knocks him out with the chain.

Billy comes in with a chair and the masked man points at the chain and walks away.

Colton splashes him in the corner and Dustin hits a beautiful dropkick. They hit the Bro 69 elbow, but Tyler kicks out at 2. Tyler goes to fly out, but Colton gets in the way and Tyler spears him off the apron. Tyler goes to fly out again, but Dustin gets back in and takes him down. Colton is in and Tyler kicks him in the face. Tyler hits Colton in the corner and kicks Dustin off the apron. Tyler goes for rolling thunder on Colton as Dustin grabs him for a powerbomb, but Tyler reverses into a hurricanrana. He hits rolling thunder on Colton and then has them both set up for a double swanton bomb for the 3.

After the match, Michael Hayes runs out and attacks Tyler, but he is able to fight him off. A cameraman then jumps in the ring and rips off his disguise to reveal that it's David Lee Lorenze III. David kicks Tyler below the belt from behind and then hits the Director's Cut.

This ended the TV taping.

Post-Show Dark Matches:

Cali defeats "The Most Hated Woman in Wrestling" Maria James. An okay match. Maria controls most of the opening, but Cali starts to make a comeback.

When Cali has control and looks like she is about to take the win, Jaylee runs out and stomps her to break a pin and cause the DQ.

"Dancin" Deonta Davis, Big Zo, Houdini, & "The Boy Wonder" Sam Thompson defeat Cranium, Christian Hernandez, Dre Blitz, & The Blue Chipper. Sam takes a lot of punishment early until finally getting the tag to Zo. Zo comes in and starts cleaning house. All 8 men end up in the ring with 2 paired up in each corner. Cranium, Hernandez, Blitz, & Chipper go to throw the other 4 into each other, but Zo, Sam, Houdini, & Deonta reverse them into each other. They fall back into the corners, and Zo leads a 4-way Zo train. All 4 of Zo's team then deliver Zo bombs and all get 3's.
