RICO RETURNS!

Take THAT Prototype! Back for a single surprise visit, Rico's Inuit type mask did not fool the fans at Ohio Valley Wrestling! Even with the mullett gone and the mask in place, there was no mistaking the distnictive tights and mannerisms of Rico Costantino! The reaction for his return was even more awesome that when he left. At the end of the match, Rico was once again defeated, but Kenny Bolin's briefcase is a little worse for wear! Special thanks to Gail for some of the more awesome shots!

Here's the recap of that match from the best reporter on the web...Aaron "Lurch" Wilson! See the Links section for a link to Lurch's brand new site!

OVW TV Taping Results 1/23/02
-The Prototype vs. ??????? (Rico Costantino wearing mask) -Prototype was introduced to the ring first followed by the music over the sound system of Rico's American Gladiator entrance music. Next Rico Costantino came out wearing what appeared to be the old "American Eagle" mask of USWA and OVW. The crowd was confused at first, but literally erupted once they came to the realization that it indeed was Rico Costantino underneath the mask. For those of you that don't know Rico lost a "Loser Leaves OVW" match quite a few weeks ago and has yet to return to Davis Arena until tonight. The crowd was extremely into the match trading chants for "Rico" as well as "Porky" chants in unison. The masked Costantino started out with the upperhand and had an excellent spot where he delivered two kicks to the body while posting on the second rope and delivering a third shot to the head. As Bolin attempted to interfere in the match Rico spoiled his plans and knocked him right off of the ring apron but was turned around to be caught by a huge sideslam delivered by Prototype. The match was very back and forth with many two counts but came to a very unexpected end after Prototype delivered a blatant low blow followed by his finish, the "Protoplex" and the pinfall. After the match Rico, still under his mask, stole the Bolin Services briefcase and stomped on it in the middle of the ring recieving an extremely favorable reaction from the crowd.
