-I apologize to all of
my regular readers and newsboard posters,
but I've been extremely busy as of late
and just haven't been able to make it
to any shows lately. Over the past few
weeks, OVW TV has set up for the show
this Friday at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom
in Louisville, KY, which I will be covering.
Here is the card as of today: David
Flair vs. Travis Bain (Mysterious guy
from crowd with Tattoos); Kanyon vs.
John "Prototype" Cena; Chs.
Flash & Trash vs. Shelton Benjamin
& Redd Dogg for the Southern Tag
Titles; "Ironman" Rob Conway
w/ Sensational Sherri Martel vs. The
Damaja w/ Queen Victoria; Nova vs. WWE's
Christian w/ Kenny "the King"
Bolin for the OVW Heavyweight Title.
On a side note: It's been recently announced
that OVW will be in it's new facility
in Louisville, KY by the end of the
month.
-Rob Conway vs. The Damaja w/ Queen
Victoria
-The two opened off this very good
match with a strong tieup as Conway
pushed Damaja into the corner, Damaja
used the ropes to his advantage forcing
the ref to make Conway get clear out
of the way. Eventually Damaja grabbed
Conway punching him in the corner, but
Conway reversed this delivering some
big chops to the "Revolution"
member. After some serious offense Damaja
got out of the ring taking advantage
of his ten count. When Conway followed
Damaja ran in the ring stomping Conway
down as he tried to get back into the
ring himself. From this point Damaja
dominated much of the offense until
Conway managed to regain the offense
with a nice hurricanrana followed by
a crescent kick sending Damaja to the
outside. Conway brought Damaja back
into the ring and gained a nice rollup,
but was broken up by the nails of Queen
Victoria being scraped into Conway's
face. Conway then went after Victoria
to the outside as the ref tried to break
up the altercation, Damaja grabbed Conway
as Victoria maintained the referee's
attention and choked Conway with the
ringside rope, which serves as the crowd
barrier. Eventually as the ref managed
to get the action back into the ring
Conway managed to pull off three fast
clotheslines to Damaja followed by a
very nice DDT. He then went right to
Victoria pulling her into the ring by
her hair and attacked her. Conway almost
pulled off the neckbreaker on Victoria,
but Damaja turned him around into the
Brain Damaj. At this point the ref called
for the disqualification because Victoria
was in the ring. After the match Damaja
held down Conway as Victoria spit in
Conway's face. Very disgusting.
-Winner via DQ Rob Conway
-After the commercial break Rob Conway
challenged Victoria and Damaja to a
handicapped match for July 19, next
Friday, at the final Six Flags Kentucky
Kingdom Summer Sizzlin' Series show.
-Jim Cornette, as well as ring announcer
Dean Hill were joined in the ring by
Bolin Services, consisting of Kenny
Bolin, John "Prototype" Cena,
Sean O'Haire and Jerome Croney. Cornette
introduced Nova to the ring as well
as he was about to inform everyone of
the main event for the July 19 Six Flags
show. Cornette sets up the match to
finally settle the fued between Nova
and John "Prototype" Cena
to be a No Countout/No DQ match. All
of Bolin Services will be at ringside
but under one stipulation. Bolin will
be handcuffed to Dean Hill, Croney will
be handcuffed to Jim Cornette, and Sean
O'Haire will be handcuffed to Senior
official Robert Briskoe, which got a
big laugh from the Davis Arena crowd.
Nova got on the microphone and told
Jim Cornette that he accepted the match,
but he didn't like the fact that O'Haire
would be cuffed to Briskoe and asked
if that could be changed. He suggested
that he had a friend, who is still training
as an amateur in OVW who's nickname
is "Tiny" and wondered if
he could be cuffed to O'Haire instead.
This was ok with Cornette as well as
Prototype feeding off of the fact that
he was now a WWE Smackdown! Superstar
shining with arrogance. Nova calls his
friend "Tiny" to the ring
who is none other than Tough Enough
2's Matt Morgan who gets in the ring
and gets faced to face with Sean O'Haire
being the first in OVW to actually look
down on O'Haire. Nova gets on the mic
before the cameras go to break claiming
that now this will be a one on one match
to settle this fued once and for all.
-Chris Cage vs. Johnny Spade
DARK MATCH
-An overall good match, with a pretty
quick pace. The crowd really hates Spade.
Spade opened up the offense with a quick
snapmare, but Cage countered his attack
with a rollup only to gain a two count.
Cage then gave a nice hiptoss into a
dropkick to the downed Spade getting
a nice reaction from the crowd. Although
the ringwise veteran wasn't phased too
much as he was able to regain the offense
delivering two very loud chops to the
chest of the newcomer Chris Cage. Spade
yelled out "Who Sucks Now??"
to the crowd, and just about everyone
in the arena responded with "YOU
DO!!", very funny stuff. Cage came
back after throwing Spade down from
the top turnbuckle as he was going for
a Superplex, and came off the top with
a huge flying cross body. Cage landed
on Spade, but the ringwise veteran rolled
Cage around and got the pinfall while
pulling on the tights and the win.
-Winner via pinfall Johnny Spade
-David Flair vs. Seven w/ Synn
-David Flair, who still needs to work
on his charisma, opened off the match
delivering the suprising offense to
Seven with a dropkick followed by a
nice bulldog all the way across the
ring. Flair then, showing a common rookie
mistake, went for the early figure four
leglock on Seven, who easily kicked
out and followed by delivering a huge
clothesline, sending Flair down to the
mat very hard, followed by a leg drop.
Seven then went for an elbow drop on
Flair, but Flair rolled out of the way
allowing Flair to regain some control
in the match. After exchanging some
punches Flair pulled off an inverted
atomic drop, followed by two clotheslines
that did not send Seven to the ground.
After a third Seven hit the mat and
Flair locked on the figure four but
Synn grabbed his hair pulling him off
of Seven. Flair then turned around focusing
his attention to Synn, who was standing
ringside, which allowed Seven to grab
David Flair and powerbomb him allowing
him to gain the pinfall and the win.
After the match Flair was able to take
down Seven and he pulled Synn into the
ring and locked in the figure four.
This was then broken up by Travis Bain,
the mysterious man from the streets
who attacked Flair over the past few
weeks as the cameras went to a commercial
break.
-Winner via pinfall Seven
-Johnny Jeter vs. Shan O'Haire
DARK MATCH
-No the name of Jeter's opponent is
not a typo, Shan O'Haire, the younger
brother of Sean O'Haire has been training
in OVW as of late but has yet to officially
debut. Jeter opened up with an armdrag,
followed by a headlock takedown which
Shan O'Haire reversed with a head scissors.
Jeter has improved tremendously over
the past few months, and in my view
is ready for a full OVW TV slot. Shan
O'Haire, on the other hand, still has
a way to go, but has good potential.
The match was overall pretty slow and
went back and forth. Eventually Jeter
gained the pinfall after a top rope
splash.
-Winner via pinfall Johnny Jeter
-Jim Cornette was joined by Nick Dinsmore
for an in ring interview segment. Dinsmore
talked about how ever since he's been
in OVW Doug Basham has been trying to
start stuff with him. Dinsmore was wearing
a sling because of an attack at the
last Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom show,
by none other than Doug Basham. He then
went on to say that he wants a Last
man Standing match with Doug Basham
at the July 19 Six Flags show or he
will quit OVW, which Cornette went on
to book.
-Shelton Benjamin & Redd Dogg vs.
John "Prototype" Cena &
Sean O'Haire
w/ Kenny Bolin & Jerome Croney
TV MAIN EVENT
-An overall good main event with Redd
Dogg and John "Prototype"
Cena opening things off. Redd Dogg started
out with the offense after a flying
shoulder tackle to Cena, but the team
representing Bolin Services was able
to gain the offense after O'Haire delivered
a blind tag to Prototype as he and Shelton
Benjamin were going off the ropes. Benjamin
delivered a spinkick to Prototype taking
him out, but as he turned around O'Haire,
the legal man, took him down hard with
a vicious clothesline. O'Haire then
went to Redd Dogg taunting him, who
had to be restrained by the ref, as
Kenny Bolin, Prototype and Croney all
strangled Shelton Benjamin over the
bottom rope. O'Haire tagged Prototype
back in who continued the assault as
the crowd got behind Benjamin with their
defeaning "Go Shelton Go"
chant. Prototype then signaled for his
finish the "Protoplex" but
Shelton reversed with a russian leg
sweep. Redd Dogg was then tagged in
who took down both O'Haire and Prototype
at once. It appeared Redd Dogg would
finish off Bolin Services until he was
whipped into the ropes and tripped down
by Kenny Bolin. Matt Morgan then came
down to the ringside area, grabbing
Bolin by his throat and dragging him
to the back. Redd Dogg was held up in
the ring, as Shelton and O'Haire brawled
in the corner, as Croney went to the
top rope for an attack on Dogg. Nova
then ran out and threw Croney from the
top rope into Prototype as Dogg moved
out of the way, forcing Croney to hit
Prototype with a flying cross body.
Dogg then covered Prototype as Briskoe
turned around to make the three count.
-Winners via pinfall Shelton Benjamin
& Redd Dogg
