-Overall a very decent show as ring announcer
Dean Hill said was the biggest crowd ever in
Davis Arena. The crowd was ecstatic all night.

-"IronMan" Rob Conway vs. The Prototype w/ Bolin

-Overall a very great match. The two got off
in a huge tie up going all across the ring until
Conway eventually gained the upperhand. Conway
eventually pulled off a big inverted atomic drop
followed by a massive back body drop to Prototype.
The match was very back and forth with Conway
thrown off the apron into a huge concrete pillar
in Davis arena. Just as it appeared Conway was
about to pull off the three count with a neckbreaker
Kenny "the King" Bolin distracted the referee
on the ring apron and disrupted the count. Prototype
then pulled off a chinbuster followed by another slam
for the three count. After the match the rest of
Bolin Services ran in and attempted to take out
Conway but Damaja and Nick Dinsmore ran in for
the save. Prototype then got a chair in attempt
to take everyone out and connected hard to Damaja.
Bolin Services eventually high tailed it out of the
ringside area but Damaja was apparently wounded in
the attack.

-Winner via pinfall Prototype

-Red Dogg vs. Bull Buchanon
DARK MATCH

-The match was overall very slow paced and not a
contender for match of the night, in my book. Bull
worked on the arm of Red Dogg most of the match with
an armbar and maintained the majority of the offense.
Buchanon pulled off a nasty swinging neckbreaker
midway through the match. The match ended as Bull
pulled off a spinning elbow to the upperbody of
Red Dogg and picked up the pinfall.

-Winner via pinfall Bull Buchanon

-After the commercial break Nick Dinsmore and
Rob Conway were in the commentators booth with
Dean Hill and Jim Cornette and Dinsmore stated
that Damaja suffered a concussion and would not
be able to compete. Dinsmore then announced that
he decided that Conway should be his partner
in his Southern Tag Team Title shot tonight
replacing Damaja.

-David Flair & Mark Jindrak vs. Payne & Damien
w/ Synn & Swail

-The match started off fairly good with Damien
and Jindrak sharing the offense evenly. Eventually
Flair was tagged in and showed some impressive team
work with Jindrak. The two of them whipped Damien
off the ropes and leapfrogged him, followed by
another leapfrog by David Flair allowing Damien
to run directly into the massive dropkick by
Jindrak. Payne eventually got in the ring and
delivered most of the Deciples of Synn's offense
and at one point taunting the downed Flair with
a giant "WOOOOO!". Very entertaining stuff.
The match then came to an abrubt end as Shelton
Benjamin came in, dressed in his black leather
clothes similar to last week and took out the
Deciples of Synn with a black stick. Drawing
the Disqualification.

-Winner via DQ Payne & Damien

-Next there was an interview segment with
Dean Hill interviewing "Machine" Doug Basham
along with Victoria. Basham talked about how
the OVW management had been attempting to get
him fired for months, and how it took Jim Cornette
selling his soul to the devil (Demon) to get
him to lose his title. Unfortunately due to
his contract that couldn't happen. Basham
then talked about how he would soon own
25% of OVW, and how it was all about control
for him. Basham then went on to tell Victoria
he had a present for her, because she was so
loyal and presented her with a crown of her own.
Victoria willingly accepted and suggested sexual
favors. Eventually because of this Basham decided
to cut lose on his interview and return to the back
with Victoria.

-Nick Dinsmore & Rob Conway vs. Jason Lee & Derrick King
OVW SOUTHERN TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH w/ Sharmell

-A very good match, with Jason Lee and Nick Dinsmore
starting out in the ring, going at it quite evenly.
A very good tag team match with the newly formed
team of Dinsmore and Conway showing some great
promise, as the two are experienced OVW Veterans.
The Suicide Blondes pulled off their patented double
diving kick to the downed Conway. The match eventually
ended as Derrick King had Dinsmore held up and
Lee missed a crescent kick, kicking King in the face.
This allowed Dinsmore to pull off a huge German suplex
and Conway to pull off a great top rope elbow drop, to
pick up the pinfall and the Southern Tag Team Titles.

-Winners via pinfall Nick Dinsmore & Rob Conway

-Shelton Benjamin vs. Sean O'Haire
DARK MATCH w/ Kenny Bolin

-Overall a good match, with Shelton Benjamin,
obviously healthy, coming off of his injury.
The match was high paced with Shelton starting off
with quick punches, eventualy delivering a huge
shoulder block to Sean O'Haire, upseting Kenny
Bolin, who was ringside. O'Haire pinned Shelton
and picked up a two count, but by mistake the
ring bell was rung. Referee Nick Dumeyer overuled
the bell and called for the match to continue.
Eventually after continued dominance by Benjamin,
Shelton pulled off the three count with a
corkscrew sunset flip, off the turnbuckle.

-Winner via pinfall Shelton Benjamin

-Flash vs. Leviathan
OVW HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH

-The match started off as Flash went for the
Irish whip to Leviathan, but Leviathan did
not budge. Eventually after a bit of pummeling
from Leviathan, Flash gained the upper hand
somewhat connecting with his spring board
leg drop. The match overall, wasn't too long.
Flash went to the second rope and pulled off
his Whiplash, but only got a two count. Flash
then repeated this process, still only gaining
a two count. On Flash's third attempt Leviathan
speared Flash while he was in mid air and picked
up the three count and the pinfall. After the
match Levithan attempted to powerbomb Flash, to
seal his victory but Traier Park Trash, Flash's
opponent last week, in one of the bloodiest battles
I've seen at Davis Arena, came out with a chair in
hand. Leviathan and Synn eventually left the ring
side area and Trash extended his hand as Flash
accepted as the two shook hands as the television
cameras went off the air.

-Winner via pinfall Leviathan
