-Another great night of Ohio Valley Wrestling with the much anticipated Main
Event as Nick Dinsmore challenged Damaja for the OVW Title in his return
match.

Rene Dupree defeated Rob Conway
DARK MATCH
(I showed up late and was unable to get full details)

Kanyon vs. Johnny Jeter
IF JETER CAN LAST FIVE MINUTES WITH KANYON HE RECIEVES $500

A very good opening match with Jeter appearing in good condition considering
his reported partially torn MCL. The match opened as Kanyon ran out of the
ring as soon as the bell rang luring the OVW up and comer outside of the
ring to take the immediate advantage stomping Jeter in the back when he
rolled into the ring. Jeter although managed to gain the early offense
despite Kanyon's attack and delivered a nice flipping drop kick after a
series of reversals and continued the assault stomping Kanyon into the
corner. Jeter then proceeded to deliver a nice springboard cross body block
receiving a nice reaction from the Davis Arena crowd. Kanyon eventually
regained the offense pulling Jeter down by his hair followed by a nice
swinging neck breaker, but the WWE Superstar only managed to gain the two
count. Kanyon continued to issue the assault with a nice one arm lariat,
while he held on to Jeter's arm and followed with an Electric Chair drop,
but still only managed to pull off a two count. Kanyon then made the climb
to the top rope, but Jeter made his way up and dropped Kanyon down to the
mat with a very nice super plex followed by a spinkick and a back body drop
as the up and comer signaled for his top rope spinkick. Unfortunately for
Jeter the WWE Superstar knew what was coming as Dean Hill announced there
was roughly one minute left and ducked out of the way to avoid the kick.
>From this point Kanyon continued with attempts to pin Jeter, but to no avail
as each attempt only granted Kanyon the two count. After a small package and
a backslide Kanyon eventually pulled off the 'Kanyon Cutter' and gained the
pinfall and the victory. Immediately following the three count Jim Cornette
got on the house mic and announce that although Kanyon did win the match he
won it in 5 minutes and 2 seconds which meant that he still had to pay Jeter
the $500. After beating down on the defeated man Kanyon eventually stuffed
Five wadded up $100 bills into the mouth of Jeter and made his way to the
back as the cameras went of the air for the first commercial break.

Winner via pinfall Kanyon in 5:02

Disciples of Synn vs. Orlando Jordan & Chris Cage
DARK MATCH

Seven opened off the match with Orlando Jordan with a quick go behind, but
Jordan quickly countered to control the pace early on. Jordan eventually
tagged in Cage and the two delivered a very nice double hiptoss to Seven as
Synn screamed for her team ringside. Seven, although falling victim to a
double hiptoss still managed to regain the offense on Chris Cage throwing
him into the corner and following up with a snapmare. The match continued as
Seven tagged in his partner Travis Bane. Bane came in and delivered a nice
stalling suplex and continued the assault on Cage, but the remorseful OVW
Rookie eventually made a comeback with a nice sunset flip. Although
remorseful, he was not able to avoid Seven coming back and delivering a very
stiff lariat sending him down to the mat. Orlando Jordan made his way in
eventually after Cage made a quick tag, but eventually fell victim to a huge
sideslam by Seven and the pinfall.

Winners via pinfall Disciples of Synn

Nikita & Jackie Gayda vs. Jazz & Linda Miles

This match being set up by Jim Cornette last week as a bit of a payback to
Jackie Gayda for quitting OVW told quite an interesting story. Nikita and
Linda Miles tied up to open things off, with Nikita the latest addition to
the Revolution, pulling the hair of Linda Miles forcing her into the corner,
but after an irish whip off of the ropes Linda Miles showcased tremendous
athletic ability by doing two consecutive leap frogs over Nikita receiving a
nice reaction from the crowd, and polishing things off with a huge hiptoss.
Nikita at this point went for the tag to Jackie Gayda, but Gayda pretended
to not see Nikita as she fixed her shoe. The assault on Nikita continued as
Jazz was tagged in and the two delivered a huge double clothesline to Nikita
sending her down hard to the mat. Every time that Nikita was in a position
to make the tag to Gayda, Jackie walked away from the corner and went on to
taunting the crowd taking her focus away from Nikita begging for a tag in
the ring. Eventually, after extreme frustration Nikita pulled Gayda into the
ring by her hair, forcing the Tough Enough Two champion, also known as the
'Hot Tub Ho' into the ring. Instead of going after Miles or Jazz, Gayda
focused her attention on taking down Nikita, showing some extremely bitter
turmoil within the Revolution, as the team of Jazz and Miles decided to
capitalize on the fight within applying the school boy rollup to the two
receiving a double three count and the win.

Winners via pinfall Jazz & Linda Miles

The next segment was the first ever live OVW TV Segment filmed from the
locker room and aired on the Davis Arena big screen that sits above the
entrance, which I must admit was very good and I hope to see more of these
in the future. The segment consisted of Doug Basham, Damaja and Johnny Spade
talking in the back about how the women were fighting, and stated that they
were going to set up a bikini match between the two with Spade as the
special Referee. Spade turned down the opportunity, but Basham and Damaja
talked him into it. Kanyon, the other honorary Revolution member then joined
the scene and told Damaja and Doug Basham that they need to worry about who
the true leader of the Revolution is, and not the women. Basham stated that
he did care who wins the Main event tonight with Dinsmore challenging for
Damaja's OVW Title because he has the winner. Basham told Damaja that he
wants him to do whatever it takes to make sure that the fans know that the
Revolution is the Number 1 force in Ohio Valley Wrestling. The segment
seemed to look ahead to the future possibility of a Basham vs. Damaja match
as the two stared each other down as the cameras went to a commercial break,
first Damaja must get by Dinsmore, which is next. (For the TV at least)

Mark Magnus vs. Matt Morgan
DARK MATCH

A good quick match with Magnus showing his improvement with each match, he
started off with a quick go behind to Matt Morgan but Morgan gained the
immediate advantage with a stiff shoulder block sending Magnus down to the
canvas. Morgan continued the assault with a solid head butt to Magnus, but
Magnus refused to give up making his way back with a rake to the eyes.
Eventually Morgan gained the pinfall and the win with a Spike slam.

Winner via pinfall Matt Morgan

Nick Dinsmore vs. Damaja
OVW HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH

As Dinsmore and Damaja made their respective entrances to the ring the crowd
was split between 'Go Nick Go' chants and 'Damaja' chants, to get this
highly anticipated match underway. The two tied up, but eventually broke
cleanly as they stared each other down in Dinsmore's return to the ring in
quite a few months. The two went back and forth with Dinsmore managing to
roll Damaja up twice very quickly but only received two counts. Dinsmore
focused his work on the shoulder of Damaja throughout the match and managed
to apply the early crippler crossface, but Damaja crawled his way to the
ropes to break the hold. Eventually after a reversal of the Irish whip,
Damaja was able to throw Dinsmore over the top rope, but instead of Dinsmore
crashing down to the Davis Arena floor, he was hung by leg caught between
the top two ropes, which obviously put some extreme tension on the recently
healed knee of Dinsmore. From this point Damaja continued the assault of the
recently injured knee of Dinsmore and applied a solid knee wrench on the
challenger that went all the way through the commercial break. Just as the
cameras came back onto the air Damaja slammed Dinsmore, knee first into the
guardrail that surrounds the ring. Damaja then brought Dinsmore back into
the ring, but wasn't able to gain the pinfall on the challenger. Damaja then
continued his assault on Dinsmore applying a sharpshooter, but Dinsmore
eventually made the remorseful comeback breaking up the hold by grabbing
onto the bottom rope. Eventually Dinsmore made the comeback delivering some
strong chops and took down Damaja followed by a big back body drop,
receiving a great reaction from the crowd. Dinsmore decided to focus his
attention on the knee of Damaja and applied a solid Figure four leg lock on
the ring post as Damaja screamed in pain. Eventually Kanyon made his way
down to the ring, which lead Dinsmore to break the hold and lay out the WWE
Superstar to the Davis Arena floor. Damaja then went on to deliver the
facebuster to Dinsmore in the middle of the ring and Doug Basham came down
to the ring throwing in a chair, while the ref was distracted with Kanyon.
Damaja went to lay Dinsmore out with the chair, but Dinsmore saw the attack
coming and stopped the attempt and grabbed the chair for himself. Dinsmore
then went on to lay out Damaja, but Referee Robert Briskoe turned around to
see it, and immediately disqualified Dinsmore from the match. As a result of
being upset with the disqualification Dinsmore then proceeded to lay out
Doug Basham, Kanyon and Robert Briskoe as the cameras went off the air
concluding another excellent week of Ohio Valley Wrestling Television

BONUS DARK MATCH

Nova & Rhyno defeated Chris Nowinski & Doug Basham as Rhyno hit the Gore.
Very good match and Rhyno appeared very impressive in his rehab back to the
ring.
