-An excellent night of Ohio Valley Wrestling as it was the last show before the big Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom Show on 5/31 involving Mick Foley.

-Kanyon vs. The Prototype w/ Kenny Bolin

-The night opened off with a very familiar "Who better than Kanyon" over the speakers as Chris Kanyon made his way back to the squared circle in the same city that he left, and is once again 100% in the ring. The two opened off working on each others arms, with Kanyon getting the early headlock takedown. Kanyon then pulled off a very nice leg rollup pin, but only gained a two count. Kanyon continued his offensive attack with a big swinging neck breaker and basically dominated the offense the entire match. Prototype almost saw the light of offense as he went for a top rope diving headbutt but only met the canvas face first, as Kanyon avoided his attack. Kanyon then went to the top rope and attempted to pull off a high risk manuever of his own, but Prototype knocked the ropes and sent Kanyon straight down, as he racked himself on the top rope. Prototype then pulled off a successful Superplex, but only gained a two count. Kenny "the King" Bolin then got on the ring apron and distracted the ref and Kanyon, who drilled Bolin right in his face, but this distraction was enough of one as Kanyon was met with Prototype's Protoplex and the pinfall.

-Winner via pinfall Prototype

-Shelton Benjamin & Redd Dogg w/ Nidia vs. Jason Lee & Johnny Spade
DARK MATCH

-The dark match started off with Shelton and Spade going at it with some quick technical work ending with Shelton getting the advantage along with a great ovation after a huge armdrag to Spade. The offense continued on Spade as Redd Dogg was tagged in and the two delivered a huge double team hiptoss to Johnny. Jason Lee was eventually brought into the match as he worked Shelton into the corner. Shelton went to the top rope, as Spade attempted to hit Shelton down but to no avail as Shelton successfully walked the ropes by himself and delivered a big clothesline to Jason Lee. As much as the team of Lee and Spade tried they continually failed as Redd Dogg pulled off a "Snow Plow" with Shelton following with a splash to pick up the win.

-Winners via pinfall Shelton & Redd Dogg

-Next Jim Cornette was joined in the ring with the one and only Jim Ross. Jim Ross was there because the WWE heard word of Nova and how great he has made an impact already in OVW and the WWE offices. Nova was introduced and Ross delivered the personal message to Nova that he's got the WWE's attention as well as the fact that Rey Mysterio Jr. was signed to the WWE not to long ago and he will be taking on Nova in a respect match tonight in the main event. Cornette goes on to plug the Title defense squaring the champion Nova against Prototype on 5/31 with Mick Foley as the guest referee at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom. Almost immediately Prototype and Kenny Bolin came storming to the ring. Prototype said that Nova was lucky he wasn't locked up since he stole his belt last week and that he would get what he deserved at the Six Flags show on 5/31. Prototype ended his ranting by saying that his main event match with Rey Jr. would suck, Nova immediately responded with "I'd rather suck than blow" sending Prototype into a furious tantrum in which he had to be dragged to the back.

-Rob Conway vs. Flash
GRUDGE MATCH

-The two opened off this match, which has been an ongoing fued over the past few weeks with an all out brawl all over the ring. No basic clinic wrestling here, just punches and kicks as the two released their agression. Flash eventually whipped Conway off the ropes, which was reversed, but Flash countered with a backflip over Conway landing oddly on his foot. Flash, then stumbled around a bit on his bad foot, but Conway knew Flash's intentions and didn't let down. Flash then prooved his playing of possum and went to kick Conway, but Conway stopped it and attacked Flash again. Flash almost came back, but Rob moved out of the way of his Whiplash attempt sending Flash crashing down to the canvas. Eventually Trailer Park Trash came down to the ring, and so did Nick Dinsmore, and for some reason unbeknownst to me the ref decided to make it a tag match. Dinsmore and Trash got in the ring and went at it with each other and the teams really started to get aggressive at this point. The match although ended as TPT got out a pair of knucks and tried to use them on Dinsmore but Dinsmore stopped hiim and took the knucks for himself. The ref then turned around to see Dinsmore with the knucks and disqualified Dinsmore and Conway.

-Winners via DQ Flash and Trailer Park Trash

-Cornette was joined in the ring with Damaja, Doug Basham and Queen Victoria. The Revolution was being reminded that they lost their tag titles recently at the WWE house show as Cornette basically went off on Basham and the others. Damaja then got on the mic and claimed that they demanded a rematch and one very soon. Danny Davis, apparently upset by these demands ran into the ring and got on the mic and went off on the Revolution as well. In the end, Davis told all three that they were FIRED immediately from OVW as the team of refs escorted them out of the facility. Vey interesting development and hopefully for the better of this trio.

-Johnny Jeter vs. Sean O'Haire
DARK MATCH

-This was your typical Squash match with the up and coming Jeter getting every thing but the kitchen sink tossed at him by O'Haire. He was literally destroyed, but did manage to put up somewhat of a fight. O'Haire pulled off a very nice second rope snapmare to the sitting Jeter. He thing picked him up and delivered his Death Valley Driver finish and picked up the pinfall.

-Winner via pinfall Sean O'Haire

-Jim Cornette was joined in the ring with Damien, Seven and Synn for another in ring interview segment. Cornette opened off by stating that Leviathan, known in WWE as Deacon Bautista will be allowed to return to OVW for one more show, which will be on 5/31 and will apparently be taking on Seven. Seven then cut a promo talking about himself as the new member of the Deciples of Synn and also ran down the "Seven deadly Sins". Crowd really hated the new Deciples of Synn the entire time.

-Nova vs. Rey Mysterio Jr.
TV MAIN EVENT
NON-TITLE MATCH

-This was one of the best technical/reversal respect matches I've ever had the privelege to witness in person and one of the best matches I've seen in OVW in quite a while. The two started off trading headlock takedowns and continued the reversals to a great ovation as the two ended up on their feet. The two locked up in a test of strength, which ended with Rey Jr. on the shoulders of Nova, who then went down with a rollup gaining a near three count from referee Robert Brisko. The non stop action continued as Nova stopped a suplex attempt by dropping Mysterio down hard on the top rope. He then reversed another move into an STF applying the hold for a good amount of time. At this point the crowd started to respectfully get behind Rey Jr. as he got out of the hold. The two continued trading another excellent series of reversals as well as many pinfall attempts to only pull out a two count. Rey Jr. was whipped off the ropes and went in for a flying cross body to Nova, but he ducked out of the way, but Referee Rober Brisko recieved the blow, sending him down to the mat, taking him out. Kenny Bolin, Prototype and Sean O'Haire immediately stormed the ring attacking Nova as Rey Jr. slowly made it to his feet. Rey Mysterio Jr. then went at it to take out Bolin Services helping Nova back up to his feet. Rey helped fight back delivering his leg swing through the ropes into a kick to the face of O'Haire and contined by whipping Nova into the corner forcing him to slide his legs right into the crotch of Prototype. Considering the following the match didn't have a winner as it was out of respect, but was one great way to conclude an excellent night of Ohio Valley Wrestling.

-No Winner via interference
