OVW TV #880: "Early Anarchy"

This is the OVW Report for Wednesday, June 29, 2016. This episode can be seen on WBNA-21 in the Louisville area on Saturday at 11AM and 10PM, and online on Monday at www.ovwrestling.com/tv. In this episode, Tony Gunn defends the TV Title against Rudy Switchblade, Scarlet defends the Women's Title against Deonna Purrazzo, the Tag Buddies defend the Southern Tag Team Titles against OVW Heavyweight Champion Rocco Bellagio & #1 Contender Mitch Huff, plus more!

Without further ado:

Here we go...

Pre-Show Dark Matches:

Dapper Dan Van Zandt defeats Houdini. Houdini gets in 2 rollup attempts the entire match. Otherwise, it was all Dapper Dan, who puts him away with the Death Valley Driver for the 3.

"The King of Hairstyle" Robbie Walker defeats Mickey Muscles. Robbie controls mostly. Mickey catches Robbie with a kick to the head and jumps off the top rope, but Robbie catches him with a faceplant. He then connects with Crossroads for the 3.

That concludes tonight's pre-show dark matches. I always recommend watching the episode first on TV or online before reading the rest of the report. Again, you can check it out on WBNA ion-21 in the Louisville area Saturdays at 11AM and 10PM (check local listings) and on OVW's official website Mondays at www.ovwrestling.com/tv.

Gilbert Corsey & Shannon the Dude are on commentary, and Gilbert is the ring announcer.

OVW TELEVISION TITLE MATCH: Rudy Switchblade defeats "Shotgun" Tony Gunn (c) by DQ. A really good back-and-forth match early. Gunn is knocked down to the mat and Rudy is on the top rope. Stephon Smith runs out, and Rudy jumps to the mat and hits Stephon off the apron. This allows Gunn to hit 2 German suplexes. As he tries for a third, Rudy rolls through and reverses Gunn into the elevated Boston crab. Stephon gets back in the ring and attacks Rudy, making the ref call for the bell.
Stephon & Gunn start double-teaming Rudy, which brings out Bud Dwight. Dwight goes mainly after Gunn. Rudy recovers and brawls to the back with Stephon. Gunn tries to hit Dwight with the title, but Dwight ducks and ends up with the belt. He goes after Gunn, but Gunn rolls out and away from the ring. Dwight grabs the mic and says that the 30 days are up. He just talked to Dean Hill, and since Gunn likes using the title so much, their stipulation for the TV title match at the Saturday Night Special Anarchy is title on a pole. The winner will be the one who retrieves it and hits the other guy in the face with it. Dwight says just like now, he will be in the ring holding the title after that match.

Jade Dawson comes out for a match, but as he is making his entrance, he is blindsided by Big Zo. Zo hits him hard, then rolls him in the ring. He hits the big powerbomb, then hits the Zo Bomb in the corner, splashing Jade hard.
Josh Ashcraft is with him, and tells him not to stop until he sees blood. Zo then grabs referee David Banyon and powerbombs him. They go to the outside where Gilbert Corsey is yelling on commentary for them to leave and go to the back. Josh says they are not done yet. He points to camera man Jason Frost and tells Zo to destroy him. Zo knocks off Frost's headset and takes the camera away, and sets up to powerbomb him, until Dean Hill runs out and yells at him to stop. He tells Zo & Josh that if they do it, he will make sure they never step foot in this building again and will bury their careers. Josh calls Zo off and they walk out the side door.

OVW WOMEN'S TITLE: Scarlet (c) (w/Dapper Dan Van Zandt & Little Damion) defeats Deonna Purrazzo. Deonna controls the majority of the match, even knocking Damion off the apron with a forearm to the face in the process. However, as she looks to be closing in on a win, Dapper Dan is on the apron causing a distraction. Scarlet kicks Deonna as she turns around and plants her with a DDT to get the 3.

Jessie Belle & Shane Andrews come to the ring, where Jessie says she knows we want to hear her talk. She says regardless of what happened last week, the Bad Boys Club are as bad as ever. The Wreck Your Life Tour is still in full effect. She also says that regardless of what Dean Hill throws at her, she will leave the Saturday Night Special as OVW Women's Champion.
"The Young Lion" Tyler Matrix (w/Torey Payne) defeats "Bad Boy" Shane Andrews (w/Jessie Belle). Shane controls early, but Matrix starts to fire back. He hits a kick to the head and jumps in off the apron to roll Shane up. Shane falls on top and Jessie holds his hands for leverage. Referee Jamie Lynn notices and tells them to break it, then kicks their hands apart. Shane falls over and Matrix has him rolled up for the 3.

BLINDFOLD MATCH: Justin Smooth vs. Mickey Muscles ends in a no-contest. This was supposed to be a preview of OVW Anarchy at SNS. Referee Jamie Lynn blindfolds Mickey, but Smooth refuses to allow AJ Lucio to blindfold him. Smooth then attacks a blind Mickey. He clotheslines him inside out, and then delivers Street Justice.

OVW SOUTHERN TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH: "The Tag Buddies": Adam Revolver & "The Pastor of Disaster" Rev. Stu Miles (c) defeat OVW Heavyweight Champion "The Show Stealer" Rocco Bellagio & #1 Contender "The Chosen One" Mitch Huff by DQ. Rocco starts with Adam and allows Huff to tag in. Huff later acts like he will tag Rocco back in, but doesn't. So Rocco then hits Huff from the apron which counts as a tag. Adam tags Stu, and Rocco tags Huff back in and slings him in the ring. The Buddies each shoulder Huff in the corner and Adam hits the reverse Russian leg sweep. Huff starts to fire back and goes for a tag, but Rocco jumps off the apron to walk away. Dean Hill comes out and tells Rocco to get back in his corner or he will strip him of the title. He does, and Huff tags Rocco by hitting him hard across the back. The Buddies take shots at Rocco and hit a combo Russian leg sweep and dropkick to take him down. Huff comes in to break the pin, and accidentally hits Rocco. Huff & Rocco start brawling and the fight spills outside. The Buddies break it up. Adam & Huff are fighting on the outside. Inside, Rocco grabs a chair and hits Stu with it to cause the DQ. Huff gets back in and Rocco swings the chair at him, but Huff ducks and nails Rocco with the Athlete's Foot.

This ended the TV taping.

Post-Show Dark Matches:

"Shotgun" Tony Gunn & Stephon Smith defeat Rudy Switchblade & "The Party Starter" Bud Dwight. In the end of this one, Gunn & Dwight are fighting on the outside. Inside, Stephon is down on the mat, and Rudy is climbing to the top. Gunn takes Dwight down outside, then runs up to the ring and shoves Rudy off the top rope. Stephon recovers for the pin.
