OVW taped a hot hour of tv on Wednesday Night at the New Davis Arena in
Louisville, Kentucky. While we’ll have to wait for the TV show to air this weekend
to see if there was any update given on OVW Champion Matt Cappotelli, there was no
update available live.
However, the taping was highlighted by the most sought after “old school southern
heat” as Johnny Jeter and Chris Cage continued their heel antics and cut the hair
of OVW Southern Tag Team Champions Seth Skyfire and Chet The Jet Jablonski. This
was a really heated situation, perfectly booked and performed.
In the first match for tv, Jeter came out against Skyfire, and in a tremendous
upset, Skyfire pinned Jeter right in the middle of the ring. Chris Cage attacked
Skyfire, and the heels double teamed Skyfire until Chet made the save. The medics
and referees helped Skyfire to the back, but then the Cage vs Chet match began.
Once again, the babyfaces win clean. Chet pins Cage but then gets doubleteamed by
Jeter and Cage. They start to cut Chet’s hair, but then Skyfire returns only to
get beaten down by Jeter and Cage, who then proceed to cut Skyfire’s hair. This
got great heat, as people were going nuts. Jeter and Cage make a great heel tag
team, and this was a super hot angle.
A story was told throughout the night as Ken Doane wanted vengeance on Brent
Albright because it was Albright who knocked Doane unconscious last week in the 3
Way Dance for the OVW Television Title. A series of backstage skits aired on the
OVW Tron, with Doane and Albright getting to pick a partner for a tag team match.
Doane went with Paul Burchall, and then the heels went into Albright’s dressing
room to confront “The Shooter.”
Albright said he’d team with the first person who walked through the door. In a
great moment, Robby Dawber stopped in the doorway, said “Hi, I’m Robby Dawber”,
but then got clobbered by CM Punk, who walked into the room so he could team with
his enemy Albright. The heels celebrated as Albright pondered what was going to
happen next.
Before the match, Idol Aaron Stevens came out with the leather and lace tandem of
Beth and Shelly. Stevens, the new OVW TV Champion, would play a big role in the
end of the show.
The tag team match was really good, with Doane unable to get revenge on Albright,
and finally walking out on the match. Punk and Albright took turns trying to
defeat Burchall, but Burchall proved to be a tough customer and held on for dear
life. This was very exciting. Finally, Burchall was worn down and Punk scored the
victory for the team. Punk and Albright started fighting again, and then Idol
attacked Albright, only for Albright to capture Idol in the Crowbar Arm Lock. Idol
tapped out. Afterwards, Albright shook Burchall’s hand.
In a dark match, The Miz made his OVW debut teaming with Elijah Burke, and they
defeated The Spirit Squad of Nick Nemeth and Mike Mondo, accompanied to the ring
by Nick Mitchell, also making his OVW debut.
An excellent taping. There’s obviously more to come on the TV show this weekend.
