>>19898072OVW is still going?? Then what the fuck is the point of NXT? Why did they make EVOLVE a fucking thing? Why didn't they rebrand it? What is the point of OVW anymore?
>>19898102OVW is their own promotion at this point. Though the only way they were being kept alive was due to Louisville's mayor having a stake in it.
gonna be starting in 18 minutes. Gonna get myself ready for this.
>>19898072sounds good, let's gooooooo
>>19898102OVW is no linger affiliated with WWE
>>19898072Who are these people?
>>19898111>>19898240Strange. Oh well.
starting it off with an OVW Rush Championship match.
>>19898242I watch a lot of indie wrestling and I don't know most of these names either. OVW is kind of like its own isolated little appalachian world.
this jake painter guy is really good, he needs a better name.
Noelle vs. Shalonce Royal on now. It's a no DQ match.
Royal wins the no DQ match. OVW Tag Team Championship match next.
>>19898371that one kinda sucked, hope this tag match is better
I'm done with this. the influence of craig greenberg is too obvious in these match results.
Los Desafios are the new tag team champs. Quick update on one of the matches. Jake Lawless will defend his OVW Media Championship in a three way match.
>>19898512He doesn't really have much influence in it anymore thanks to Morley buying it. Next match is the OVW Media Title match
and right away both wrestlers gang up on Star Rider.
Ashton Adonis is the new OVW Media Champion. Next match is Anthony Toatele, Dustin Jackson, and Kal Herro vs. Stephen Steele in a three on one handicap match.
>>19898102They’re their own promotion since 2008 and they have their own building they completely own where all wrestlers wrestles there.No debt, rent at all.
>>19898242All trained by Al Snow btw.He’s still apart of OVW.
yeah this match is somewhat one-sided here. 3 on one. Yeah the trio is winning this.
>>19898600if coconut boy wins, we riot
This is definitely turning into an interesting match. Stephen Steele turning the tide.
YES! STEEL WINS!!
holy fucking shit, Steve Steele defied the odds here tonight.
>>19898652FUCK YEAH LET'S GO!
>>19898660guys got dusty rhodes energy, Al did a good job with him. plus it's nice to see a damn samoan lose for once.
>>19898669OVW knew exactly what we wanted for that match.
>>19898677OVW was unironically the best ally WWE ever had, they were retarded to throw it away.
next match is Leela Feist (c) vs. J-Rod for the OVW Women's Championship.
>>19898688ironically TNA also had a partnership with OVW for a while.
where in the fuck did that guy come from?
Leela Feist retains. Tony Evans (c) vs. Erik Surge vs. Big Zo for the OVW United States Championship is next.
who is this massive giganigga?
>>19898733That's Big Zo. Former OVW United States Champion.
they got some really nice looking title belts in this fed
awesome match I will say myself. Tony Evans retains. What a show for tonight. Goodnight everyone!
>>19898806pretty good show, will likely watch again
>>19898745Vince sign him
