OVWmania Presents: OVW Top 20 (Week 5)

This is the fifth edition of the OVW Top 20 exclusively on OVWmania. After this past week's events, was Jamin Olivencia able to stay at #1, or did Rob Terry reclaim the top spot?

#1) ROB TERRY (Last Week: #2)

CURRENT TITLES: OVW Heavyweight Champion

LAST MATCH: Defeated Randy Royal.

*Terry still remains OVW Heavyweight Champion, but what will happen after Danny Davis returns next week?





#2) THE BEST TEAM EVER [Rudy Switchblade & Jessie Godderz] (Last Week: #4/6)

CURRENT TITLES: OVW Southern Tag Team Champions

LAST MATCH: Reclaimed the OVW Southern Tag Team Titles defeating Loco-MG.

*Rudy was able to keep Shiloh down from the outside as Jessie made the pin to recapture the gold, but how will the big announcement next week affect them?


#3) JAMIN OLIVENCIA (Last Week: #1)

LAST MATCH: Lost the OVW Television Title to Mohamad Ali Vaez.

*Jamin was on quite the roll until referee Chris Sharpe took advantage of his authority and cost Jamin the title. Will Jamin get his chance to reclaim the gold next week?






#4) MOHAMAD ALI VAEZ (Last Week: #5)

LAST MATCH: Defeated Jamin Olivencia for the OVW Television Title.

*Ali won a great battle between himself and Jamin, but only because of Chris Sharpe's interference. Also, due to Ken Wayne, the TV Title has been vacated. Will Ali start a quest for 8?





#5) JOHNNY SPADE (Last Week: #3)

LAST WEEK: With Jamin Olivencia, Chris Silvio, & Loco-MG, defeated Jason Wayne & the Family. Lost to Rob Terry at SNS.

*Johnny Spade was inactive, but led a rallying cry as he gathered up loyal OVW Superstars to show Ms. Bynum that OVW will no longer stand for her crooked tyranny.





#6) CLIFF COMPTON (Last Week: #7)

LAST MATCH: With Johnny Spade, was defeated by Rudy Switchblade, Jessie Godderz, Mohamad Ali Vaez, & Rob Terry.

*Although, Cliff didn't compete this week, he helped Spade in rallying the OVW faithful against Jo-VW.




#7) MOOSE & MICHAEL HAYES (Last Week: #8)

LAST MATCH: Michael Hayes defeated Raphael Constantine.

*Hayes said that he won't stop until Mickey gets revenge against each member of BS 2.0. Will we have a showdown with Rocco, who was banned at SNS?





#8) EPIPHANY (Last Week: #10)

CURRENT TITLES: OVW Women's Champion

LAST MATCH: Defeated Heidi.

*Epiphany is on quite the roll. I'm thinking we'll see a rematch with Taeler Hendrix soon.





#9) CHRIS SILVIO (Last Week: #12)

LAST MATCH: Defeated Eddie Diamond.

*Silvio is fired up to get Silvio vs. Jason Wayne III. Will the third time be the charm for Team Tye-Dye?







#10) LOCO-MG (Last Week: #9)

LAST MATCH: Lost the OVW Southern Tag Team Titles to the Best Team Ever.

*Loco-MG got cheated out of a victory when Chris Sharpe refused to count. Will they get a chance to recapture the gold?






#11) JASON WAYNE (Last Week: #11)

LAST WEEK: With the Family, was defeated by Team OVW. Defeated Chris Silvio at SNS via countout.

*Wayne talked tough to Mo Green, Mary Jane, and their little friend when Silvio wasn't around, but will he back it up if Silvio gets a third match against him?





#12) PAREDYSE (Last Week: #14)

LAST WEEK: Defeated Brandon Espinosa at SNS, making him submit.

*Paredyse has been engaged in heated battles the last several months with Espinosa, but gained respect for his former foe, and then proposed a partnership this week which Espy accepted.






#13) TONY GUNN (Last Week: #15)

LAST MATCH: Defeated "3G" Eric Wayne.

*Gunn turned the bearhug into a devastating spinebuster this week as his quest for Ralphie continues. With the assistance of Nick Dumeyer, can he reclaim the bear?






#14) RANDY ROYAL (Last Week: #13)

LAST MATCH: Lost to Rob Terry.

*The Double R Superstar got a chance to show what he had against the OVW Heavyweight Champion this week, but came up short. I don't think it'll be too long before he gets some gold.






#15) BRANDON ESPINOSA (Last Week: #19)

LAST WEEK: Lost to Paredyse at SNS.

*Espinosa might not have won at SNS or competed this week, but he has turned over a new leaf and gained the respect of Paredyse. How will their new "partnership" work out?






#16) TED McNALER (Last Week: #16)

LAST WEEK: Defeated Dylan Bostic. Won an 8-man tag at SNS.

*McNaler & Brittany are living the fairytale life, but what is up with the evil prince Adam Revolver creeping around?







#17) TAELER HENDRIX (Last Week: #17)

LAST WEEK: Lost the OVW Women's Title to Epiphany at SNS.

*Taeler didn't get the rematch she wanted this week and took her frustrations out on Dylan Bostic. Someone will probably grant her wish, though, just so she will stop screaming and complaining.






#18) THE ASSASSIN (Last Week: NR)

LAST WEEK: Took out LMC, Jayce King, & a Baronis Brother.

*Although the Assassin hasn't officially competed, he has been leaving bodies lying for weeks, and the Top 20 has taken notice. What is the Assassin's objective?






#19) RAPHAEL CONSTANTINE (Last Week: #18)

LAST MATCH: Lost to Michael Hayes.

*Constantine was more worried about Tony Gunn's bear than his match last week. With Dumeyer aiding Gunn, Constantine is going to need to throw off Dumeyer's sense of smell.






#20) CHRIS SHARPE (Last Week: NR)

LAST WEEK: Helped the Best Team Ever & Mohamad Ali Vaez in their victories.

*The Top 20 isn't only for wrestlers, and like him or not, "Sharpie" made an impact this week aiding the Family in their victories. The only question is, will he still be employed next week?





JUST MISSING THE CUT:
-Bolin Services 2.0
*Will BS 2.0 be able to collect some wins and keep from getting lashed by Mickey?
-Nick Dumeyer
*Good boy! Dumeyer has been extremely helpful to Tony Gunn in finding Ralphie. Can he "roll over" some of the current Top 20 to get a spot on the list?

KEEP AN EYE ON:
*"3G" Eric Wayne      *Dylan Bostic      *Adam Revolver
*Heidi      *Mickey McMichael

  1. Interesting how a Mr. Sharpe made the top 20! And he doesn’t even wrestle. I hope this doesn’t offend the great wrestlers at OVW who did not make your list. I beginning to think you are a scripter for OVW!! That BTW is a compliment. But I agree with his placement in the top 20. Sharpie enjoys the role as the crooked referee.
    Just as interesting, is how Taeler, when she was the reigning champion, never made your top ten. However, the Big E, who gained the title, from what was explained to me, through interference (It should have been a DQ), is now in the Top 10! Like you said everyone has an opinion and it’s all about having fun. LOL! I still predict her character will go through another transformation before capturing he championship belt. Why? Like I recently read in another blog regarding OVW, “OVW + Taeler = Ratings!”
    Also would have put Spade in front of Ali, for the simple reason that Ali, again cheated.
    Even more curious will be Mr. Davis appearance on Wednesday evening. Do you have any predictions regarding the outcome of his appearance? Have great time at the Wednesday TV Taping. Looking forward to the results.

    1. To be totally honest, I was running out of roster. Due to the current storylines, there was a lot of inactivity last week. (Spade, Cliff, Jason Wayne, McNaler, Taeler didn't compete, Paredyse & Espy were only doing a Moment in Paredyse, etc.) A lot of the reason for the rankings is based on me just starting the rankings a few weeks ago and what the talent was doing at that very time. If I had started a few months ago, Taeler might have been higher. The reason Ali is above Spade, is because cheating or not, a win is a win, and Spade was inactive. I actually fought with that decision, becuase I didn't really want to drop Spade, but it only made sense. I'm guessing tomorrow night, Ken Wayne will announce a match or matches for the July SNS for control of power again. I just hope this doesn't turn into the WWE/Laurinaitis angle where Josette is about to be fired, but something else happens to prevent it. We shall see. It'll be a good one for sure.

    2. Thank you for the analysis. I never considered the WWE angle for the family, so you might be correct. Besides your observations at events, have you considered other avenues to collect data such as the various twitter accounts, FB pages, other blogs etc.?
      My compliments on your writing skills. I am no Tom Clancy, but in my business you would not believe the individuals who cannot conjugate a sentence. And these are degreed engineers! Keep up the great work.
