-Overall a very great show to say the least with appearances from some many
big stars, in front of a jampacked standing room only Davis Arena crowd.

-Ron Waterman & Damaja vs. Rico Costatino & Prototype

-Overall a good match with the main thing being the great
improvement of Ron Waterman's in ring charisma. You can really
tell that he's stepped it up a notch, in recent weeks. The
match started with some great one on one wrestling with Rico
squaring off with the Damaja, while Kenny Bolin and Jerome
Croney cheered on the team of Rico and Prototype ringside.
The match ended as Croney came into the ring while the
ref was distracted and raked Waterman to pull off his,
what I call the Gladiator Slam, it's somewhat a rendition of
the Olympic Slam, and pick up the pinfall.

-Winners via pinfall Rico Costatino & Prototype

-Randy Orton vs. Mark Jhindrak
DARK MATCH

-This was overall a good match for a dark match starting off with
some armbar spots. Orton had a really impressive insegurie kick
to the back of Jhindrak's head, echoing across the city of
Louisville. Throughout the match Jhindrak really seemed to be
working on the leg of Orton, but towards the end, just as
the figure four was about to be applied to Orton, Randy reversed
it into the small package and picked up the pinfall.

-Winner via pinfall Randy Orton

-Mr. Black vs. Sean O'Haire
DARK MATCH

-One of the better Mr. Black matches I have seen in a while, not
that he's a bad wrestler, he just gets paired up with wrestlers
that aren't so good for him to wrestle against. It had a pretty
technical start with O'Haire showing a bit of rustyness, but
overall still in pretty good ring condition. Mr. Black even
pulled off a huge Vader Bomb, with the massive lower body of
Black crushing O'Haire and picked up the win cleanly
after the Bossman slam.

-Winner via pinfall Mr. Black

-David Flair vs. Steve Bradley

-This was a really good match, with few missed spots, as Flair
is really starting to actually become a well respected wrestler.
Now nobody is perfect, and Flair isn't yet, near perfect, but
he has greatly improved thanks to OVW and it's workers as of
late. Before the match Steve Bradley cut a short promo on
Randy Orton, claiming he beat him in the ring last week,
nothing too major here. Flair had an impressive spot, where
he threw Bradley into the post shoulder first and as he
turned around planted a huge DDT on him. Although Flair
fought hand and hand with Bradley, he still lost due to
the Roll of Dice by Bradley as he picked up the three count.

-Winner via pinfall Steve Bradley

-Next there was an interview segment with Jim Cornette and
D'Lo Brown. Apparently D'Lo Brown made his surprise return
last week and really made the local Davis Arena crowd a bit
upset. D'Lo then had a pretty funny comment, apologizing
for calling the local fans rednecks, and what he meant to
call them was filthy disgusting trailer park trash. Very
Entertaining. He then calls Mark Henry on his cell phone
and carries on a conversation with Henry about how fat and
out of shape he is. Apparently D'lo still thinks that Henry
is the way he is while he was just about to leave WWF TV.
Does anyone remember the vignettes with D'lo acting as the
trainer of the out of shape Henry, well he basically said
what he said then. Overall a very entertaining promo, it's
good to see D'lo back in the states.

-Sean Casey & Chris Michaels vs.Jason Lee & Derrick King w/Sister Sharmell

-Overall one of the best matches of the night with some very
impressive technical and tag team wrestling. In my opinion
the best tag teams in the country squaring off in one great
match. Derrick King took some major tossing around in the
beginning, practically shrieking at the top of his lungs.
King also pulled off a very impressive bottom rope spring
board dropkick to the outside of the ring. Very impressive
match over all. The match ended as Casey was held next
to ringside and Sister Sharmell came up and slapped him
in the face, knocking him down and allowing Jason Lee to
pull off the school boy, and the win.

-Winners via pinfall Jason Lee & Derrick King

-Next Dean Hill interviews the Revolution just before the main
event. Mainly Machine talked to Johnny Spade about the old
days when it was just him, Spade, Dinsmore, Conway and Damaja
and about how the other guys besides the two of them were
all washed up. After that Victoria got on the mic and said,
"No one out smarts Machine". Just then Flash came running in
with a garbage can lid and layed out every member of the Revolution
in the ring and got on the mic and told the crowd that
Bull Buchanon beat him up just off the Interstate and Jim
Cornette sent him. He had a great black eye and had his shirt
all ripped up. Cornette denied what Flash said to be true.

-Brock Lesnar, Shelton Benjamin & Val Venis
vs.
Payne, Damien & Leviathan w/ Synn and Swail
TV MAIN EVENT

-This was overall a very good match, as is the typical Tv
main event on Ohio Valley Wrestling. Venis was sporting his
old tights with the purple V running down that front and back
and still has his hair like he did in the RTC. He as well as
the Minnesota stretching crew were very over with the crowd,
as well as the Deciples of Synn. The team of Benjamin, Lesnar
and Venis are in my opinion in great ring condition considering
they have been out of action for quite some time. The match
ended as Lesnar pulled off a huge powerslam and Venis pulled off
the money shot to the Demon of the Deep Leviathan and pinned
him.
-Winners via pinfall Lensnar, Benjamin & Venis
