Heavyweight champion: Jamin Olivencia
Tag Team champions: Raul Lamotta & The Mexicutioner
TV champion: Eric Locker
Women's champion: Jessie Belle

Dean Hill, Gilbert Corsey, and Michael Titus welcome viewers to the show. Chaotic end last week on the Thanksgiving Thunder broadcast and hopefully today is a little more subdued as we head into the Saturday Night Special. Gilbert says that it is good to be back after being gone last week, but a week gone here is never a week off as so much happens on each and every episode of OVW TV. Including today where we will see a 6 man tag team match in the main event with Cliff Compton, Michael Hayes & Rudy Switchblade teaming against Marcus Anthony, Rob Terry & Jay Bradley. A lot of tension in that as everybody will be looking to get a 1 up ahead of their matches at the SNS. Also today, Paredyse goes against Dylan Bostic, still in a dress after failing to succeed last week in a battle royal when Paredyse eliminated him. Tag Team Title match preview as Aaron Sky takes on Raul Lamotta. In addition, we will hear from the new TV champion Eric Locker, as well as Mary Elizabeth Monroe after her car was mysteriously vandalized last week to keep her from making it to the Davis Arena and her shot at Jessie Belle and the Women's Title. Right now though ...

Jamin Olivencia is out!
The Heavyweight champion heads out, but no title. Last week saw the return of the unknown masked turncoat, reuniting with Shiloh Jonze & The French Stallion of The Blacklist. Not only did they take out the knee of Mr. Wrestling Nick Dinsmore, but they physically took the Heavyweight championship belt and have possession of it. Add that to Elijah Burke's King of The Valley briefcase, this group is causing more havoc today according to Dean than they ever did under the leadership of Doug Basham. Gilbert wonders if Basham was ever the real leader or just the money, because it seems now that the brains of the operations are with those 3, they have upped the ante. That may end however at the Saturday Night Special where it's Olivencia & Burke vs Jonze & Stallion.

Olivencia begins to speak. Last week, The Blacklist stepped over the line. Shiloh Jonze, The French Stallion, and whoever that masked piece of garbage is, they might have possession of his Heavyweight Title, but they were only able to do it outside the rules. They know and all the people know that not 1 of them could ever beat him in the ring 1 on 1 like he did Marcus Anthony at the Rage In The Cage. At the Saturday Night Special, they had better come ready to fight because that is what the match will be. And you know, speaking of that match at the SNS, that would bring him to his partner The Pope Elijah Burke. The conspicuous by his absence last week Elijah Burke. Not making any accusations on the identity of that masked man because Burke took a beating at the hands of Jonze & Stallion himself, but he is making an accusation that Burke is continuously showing up too late to help him or not showing up at all. He's taking a beating because Burke is just waiting until the perfect moment so he can cash in, and that perfect moment may come at the Saturday Night Special.

And with that, Burke's music hits and he heads out, no briefcase because as mentioned already, The Blacklist has possession of that too. Burke tells Olivencia that he needs to back up a minute here. If he were going to cash in like that, he'd have done it after The Blacklist left him laying at the last Saturday Night Special, or after CM Punk hit him with the Go To Sleep at Rage In The Cage. The GTS that Punk did NOT hit on him when they had an altercation. Olivencia tells him that is because Punk didn't want to waste his time on Burke, and he's starting to think that maybe Punk was right in that regard. Burke snickers and says that if he's worth the time or not, maybe they should find out today. Put the SNS aside, put the title aside, put the briefcase aside because hell, they don't have them anyway right now. Today on TV, Jamin Olivencia vs Elijah Burke, 1 on 1. Olivencia seems to like it, but before he can answer ...

Danny Davis is out! He tells them both to just cool it! They have a match at the SNS and it is now 1 of the most important matches in the company's history. They convinced him to let The Blacklist back because they said they were on the same page, so he did it. And now, this? No. They are not going into the SNS like this. They want to do this today? Fine! Do it. Get it all out. Put it all on the table. Forget the title, forget guaranteed title shots, heck, forget The Blacklist! Like they said, this is about Olivencia vs Burke. But, be warned. If they're not on the same page at the end of this match and if they don't shake hands, they can forget Saturday and they can forget The Blacklist. The match is off and he'll find 2 guys back there that can work together and get the job done, the job being to get back the OVW Title belt. The SNS main event is now in jeopardy for Olivencia & Burke as here today we will get Olivencia vs Burke, and where they go, you've got to know The Blacklist won't be far behind.

Back from the break and the new TV champion Eric Locker is out to talk with Gilbert. While mic skills are clearly not Locker's specialty, he says that he plans to do his talking in the ring, just like he did last week. He beat the Metal Master and took the TV Title, rising the ranks of OVW in record time. Gilbert says that to play devil's advocate, Metal Master was attacked the week before by Rob Terry and that could have played a factor in the match. Locker says that when the bell rang, he was responsible for pinning Metal Master's shoulders down, not Terry, and that is what matters most. Now at the Saturday Night Special, he will do it again. Once he's finished off the Metal Master, everybody in OVW can consider themselves on notice because it will be a long time before anybody else gets their hands on what is now his TV championship.

Match #1
Aaron Sky defeats Raul Lamotta @ 5:40 via pinfall after a springboard splash. During the match, Shelly Martinez distracted the referee as an opportunity for The Mexicutioner to try and interfere. As he went to spear Sky, Robbie Walker tackled his own partner out of the way and Mexicutioner speared his own parter in Lamotta. Walker pulled Mexicutioner to the floor as Sky put the finishing touch on while the referee turned around. A big singles victory for Sky ahead of The Skywalkers getting their rematch at the Saturday Night Special for the Tag Team Title. Sky questions Walker tackling him, but after the partner explains himself, everything seems fine. Lamotta meanwhile has to be carried off by The Mexicutioner as Shelly yells at him for the mistake, make that shrieks at him.

Match #2
Paredyse vs Dylan Bostic never started. While Paredyse was ready to compete, Bostic was not. Rather than the dress he has been forced into wearing while he wrestles in recent weeks, he was out in casual wear. Bostic told the referee if he was going to be continually subjected to this sort of degradation, he had the solution, not competing. He will not wrestle "freaks" like Paredyse and become 1 himself any longer, and instead he will go somewhere else and wrestle from now on where they won't humiliate him and hold him down. He is a former TV champion and not a circus sideshow dammit! And just like that, out comes the Director of Authority Trailer Park Trash, dress in hand. He tells Bostic that he may not like it, but he signed the contract and those were the stipulations. He lost at the last Saturday Night Special, he wrestles out here in this dress until he wins. If he doesn't like it? Too bad. And as for the threat of going somewhere else, he is under contract to OVW and there will be legal action taken if he tries such a thing. Bostic calls the situation bogus and leaves pissed off.

TPT says there is 1 more thing and Bostic may want to hear this. Seems he has no match at the Saturday Night Special, so since the fans got robbed today, it will be Paredyse vs Bostic in a match. Not just any match though. It will be an Evening Gown match. That's right, if Bostic wants to lose the dress, he will have to win by keeping it on. And not just any Evening Gown match, a Hardcore Evening Gown match because everybody knows that TPT's specialty is hardcore. Bostic wants to know what the hell TPT's specialty has to do with anything? Because TPT will be the special guest referee. Bostic starts to throw a fit, kicking the ropes, yelling about how this is unfair. He grabs the dress from TPT's hand and throws it on the mat, stomping on it. TPT says to pick it up, Bostic of course refuses and asks what he will do about it. TPT says he won't do anything about it, but somebody else will. Bostic turns to Paredyse and takes The Long Kiss Goodnight, a forward STO. Paredyse then forces the dress onto Bostic as the fans laugh and cheer. The commentators make mention that while Bostic is being forced into it right now, at the Saturday Night Special, Paredyse might be ripping it off.


-- Third commercial break --

Before the next match, Mary Elizabeth Monroe is out to talk with Gilbert. In recent weeks, we have seen the escalation of the situation between her and the Women's champion Jessie Belle, culminating last week in vandalism of her car to keep Monroe from competing. As announced last week though, at the Saturday Night Special it will be Monroe challenging Belle fair and square, once and for all. Monroe first wants to thanks all the fans for their support as it has been a long journey, especially tough in recent weeks. With them in her corner though, she knows she can beat Belle and win the title. Gilbert asks about Dirty South Tracy Smothers though, always an X factor on the outside. Monroe says that if he wants to interfere and get physical with the women of OVW, she will make him tap to the Rainbow Cross like the rest of the women that have got in her way so far.

VS

Match #3
Dapper Dan defeats Ryan Howe @ 5:32 via pinfall with his big German Suplex. All is not as it seems though because the match sees interference from The Pastor of Disaster Stuart Miles, Howe's opponent at the Saturday Night Special. The Rockstar was on the verge of getting Dapper Dan to tap to the Whammy Bar when Miles got on the apron. Howe released the hold to go after Miles, but he jumped down in time. With Howe distracted, Dapper Dan came from behind, locked his arms and hit the finisher to pick up a big win for him. Miles smiled and laughed, enjoying that. He was not finished though. He lifted the ring apron and pulled out an acoustic guitar. Their match at the SNS will be a Guitar on a Pole match after what Miles did 2 weeks ago on TV, and he seems to be looking to hit Howe again and maybe take him out of the SNS. Dapper Dan holds Howe as Miles readies to play a tune, but as he rears back and swings, Howe moves and Miles blasts Dapper Dan instead! Miles panics as Howe grabs him, but the Pastor escapes to the floor. Howe points at him, noting that he will finally get his at the SNS.


-- Fourth commercial break --

	VS

Match #4
Marcus Anthony, Rob Terry & Jay Bradley defeat Cliff Compton, Michael Hayes & Rudy Switchblade @ 10:17 when Terry pinned Hayes following a powerbomb. The 2 Saturday Night Special matches meet, although about halfway through, Switchblade and Bradley would begin a brawl on the floor. No Elvis Pridemoore after last week, and maybe no Mongo in the future. Switchblade took a chair and readied to hit Bradley, but he pulled Mongo into the line of fire, getting blasted in the head. Bradley took off with Switchblade following, leaving the 4 wrestlers in the #1 contender match out there to fight among themselves. Against all odds, Hayes would manage to deliver the jawjacker to Terry and put him down and put him into the Liberty Lock, a seated reverse Cobra Clutch. Before Terry could even consider tapping, Anthony was in and kicked Hayes. Compton came in and the 2 started brawling with each other. Terry got to 1 knee as Hayes went back at him, but instead got goozled by the Bully. He stood and forced Hayes bent over before lifting him up and driving him into the mat with the powerbomb. Terry picks up the winning fall and maybe the edge as Compton and Anthony seem preoccupied with each other.

VS

Match #5
Heavyweight champion Jamin Olivencia and Elijah Burke fought to a no contest @ 6:41 when The Blacklist interfered. In perhaps a surprise, Olivencia and Burke got in some time before Shiloh Jonze & The French Stallion would run out and interfere. A brilliant plan according to Titus because they tired themselves out first to make their attack more easy to succeed. At this point, the mysterious masked turncoat appeared. As he went to get into the ring, Olivencia and Burke began to make a comeback so he thought twice. Instead, Olivencia would clothesline Jonze over the top rope and to the floor, while Burke would send Stallion sailing over the top rope by tossing him out. The masked man stepped down not wanting to enter a 2 on 1. He regrouped his men and quickly left as Danny Davis stepped out from behind the curtain and headed to the ring. Olivencia and Burke seem to want to keep going right now!

Davis said to hold on here as he took a mic. They got their wish and now that's it. They need to cool off and do so now because they need to be a united front at the Saturday Night Special or else, he will find that united front somewhere else. Several referees were out to keep them apart. Davis told them, make that ordered them to shake hands now. He doesn't care what happens next week, what happens with the title, the briefcase, the point is they need to even win in the first place or there will be no title to fight over! There will be no contract for a title shot for Burke to cash in on! It's all meaningless unless they work together as a team. They seem to calm down a bit. Burke steps through the referees and extends a hand. Olivencia reciprocates and it looks like they will still get their tag team match. But wait ... on the video wall ... CM Punk!

Punk is who knows where as he tells them not to look for him because he's not there, but for all the smart marks out there, maybe he's the masked man? Maybe CM Punk needs to hide his face? Not likely, but serve it to the gullible fans so that they'll eat it up and buy into that crap. This is not about The Blacklist, not about a masked man, this is about him and he has something to say. Something to say to Jamin Olivencia, something to say to Elijah Burke, and something to say to Danny Davis. But why say it now and spoil the fun? Let them all sweat it out a bit first. Next week on OVW TV, he is going to address the 3 and the fans for the first time since the unfortunate incident with him and Burke. Not only that, but to anybody that had a reaction to his comments at the Saturday Night Special last month, he might just have something to say to them as well. The tape ends with the 3 left standing there, each having their own individual thoughts on that. Gilbert wonders what this means for next week? Furthermore, what does it mean for Olivencia & Burke just hours away from the Saturday Night Special?!? Don't miss it!

Websclusive match #1

VS

Holly Blossom defeats Scarlett Bordeaux @ 4:26 via pinfall with a go behind rollup. Before the match, Scarlett & Nikki St. John insisted on a marking on Holly to indicate which she was after what happened last week on the websclusive, leading to a line drawn in marker on Holly's hand. That however could not overcome the problems with Scarlett & Nikki when Nikki got on the apron during the match, leading to Holly running Scarlett into her before rolling her up from behind to finish the match. Websclusive commentators The Fan Advocate Terry Boddie and Trailer Park Trash wonder what the reaction will be from Taeler Hendrix, who was not present nor was Seleziya Sparx, after 2 losses in 2 straight weeks for her Mean Girls?

Websclusive match #2

VS

Rump Thump defeats The Body Guy @ 5:03 via pinfall after the Rumper Stumper, a butt butt. During the match, Rump Thump had control leading to The Body Guy deciding to leave. He wanted no part of Rump Thump, but as he went to leave, he would be met at the curtain by his former bodyguard Melvin Maximus to a big pop! Body Guy was caught between a rock and a hard place as Melvin pointed back to the ring, telling him to fight. As Body Guy begged off, he returned to the ring. Arguing with Melvin before going back to his opponent, he would turn into Rump Thump's finisher and be put away for the win. Clearly Body Guy's comments from 2 weeks ago in Melvin's match on the websclusive got back to him and a showdown between the 2 could be imminent.

While I know it is probably legit in how things are actually done, and I know it can be that way in mainstream wrestling, I absolutely hate how much talking is done before we ever see a match on these shows. I get five minutes of actual action with the Sky/Lamotta match, then a non-match, then a segment, and the next five minute match also has an interference spot in it. I would never spend time watching this product, but I don't appreciate the writing here and the angles. It's a different style and a style I could never in a million years pull off, so, as I've said before, I respect it, but man, my first reaction is like, "What the fuck! Somebody fight!" lol

That all being said, let's see. I like the Evening Gown match announcement, just cause it made me chuckle. I saw it coming, and I'm glad, as that's just classic comedy wrestling. Now that six man match was more my liking, I could see that all going down and you gave it good time and it didn't have a whole bunch of funny business going on. It was a good match to progress things on a number of levels and Terry looks good getting the win, something he's needed to really re-establish himself as a top tier player, in my opinion. More interference here, but I am still intrigued by the masked man, and I am eagerly anticipating this Punk promo next week, as I enjoyed the last one a whole lot.

I was entertained by the websclusive matches maybe more than anything else on the show, so good job there. Both had some purpose and did a good job of doing what they were supposed to.

[jp1985]

Yeah, you won't get a counter out of me there. Southern wrestling lol. Watch a Memphis show, you got maybe 10-15 minutes of wrestling over 90 minutes. Trying to be more authentic to the area and how things are done there and what works. The TV is episodic and angle driven, so it's used to push the main show of the month where you get the payoff, more than it is designed to deliver action for free like in WWE or TNA where it just waters down the big shows and PPVs to mean nothing. I assume that comes from always having a show in Memphis to push for Monday, as well as weekly shows in Louisville, Lexington, Evansville. But believe me, I'm fully aware some of the TV would be of no interest from a wrestling perspective, which in some areas, would seem ludicrously counter productive for a wrestling show lol. It makes the shows that sell stronger, but the flip side is the TV itself weaker. Going by national standards, more like WWF or WCW TV until around 1995 where the TV could be pretty damn boring, but the PPVs were a hell of a lot more effective.

That said, I think the pre-match interviews may come off longer in these than they are intended. They're just 90 second bits, like the equivalent of Renee Young interviewing somebody backstage. So while it doesn't ignore or refute your point, it's not like they are 5 minute interviews or anything. Might read that way as it is the same detail some might put into a 10 minute interview segment, but it's not meant to be seen as that. With the match times, I think a lot of people leave out the idea of a ring introduction and post match. With TV, those actually take up a significant chunk, and you'd be surprised how long a 5 minute match actually is, and how boring TV with multiple 10 minute+ matches actually gets pretty fast.

[Deleted]

Oh, I wasn't saying you were doing anything wrong, I'm well aware that that's how it's done and I was just saying that it has always driven me crazy, but I respect how well you replicate it, as I could never do it. And I'm aware of how long a five minute match is, you can get plenty in with that time, but it just always gets me, especially in real life committing to watch a show like Raw, when you have a bunch of segments and your big pay off for sticking around is like a five minute match followed by more talking.

The only wrestling I watch these days tends to be like 20 to 30 minute matches on YouTube, I was watching a fair bit of televised stuff, but I just can't keep it up. lol That's how I've personally done things for a long time now, though, so that is probably reflected in how I run things. I was just pointing out an observation, though, it wasn't a knock, per se, just stating that it's something that gets me everytime, but I know that's how it's supposed to be.

[jp1985]

Yeah, Raw can be a chore. A big part of that is the show is 3 hours I think, more so the main event being short. It's just burn out. I think it doesn't really matter what they do cause it's almost always lose-lose because most viewers by 11 that have watched the whole way through just want the show over lol. You do a 20 minute match in the last segment, it comes across as long and boring at that point too, except rare instances.

No offense taken. It is what it is. I'm aware based on how others write that this style of delivery would not be of interest to some here because it is based more on an unfamiliar style, and there's a tendency to write in the quicker booking fashion here. That's a part of why Raw's a bore, it's written by writers. Wrestling is obviously meant to be watched, but writers want to write. So a Raw script damn sure makes for better reading than if you scripted out a New Japan show, but in terms of on screen presentation and the visual, the New Japan show is world's better almost every time because a wrestling show should be watched, not read. I always look at these places as it is ultimately reading and writing like said Raw script, so I choose to go in places where the heavier promotion style is what works because you can do actual writing. I don't want to do something that takes 60 seconds to read all my effort and may involve hours of planning because if there is work being put in, it's rarely relayed to the reader. Wrestler A is working wrestler B, I want somebody to care because of my writing if they're going to, not because the guys are good wrestlers in real life so I have carte blanche to just give a line of text with the result and rely on something I have nothing to do with. Not to say that way can't be good booking, just not really much by way of reading and writing.

[Deleted]

See, that's the difference between you and I: I never do hours of planning. lol I've even been doing a lot more in the way of planning lately and I would never equate it to hours. That's what I could never replicate about this is the clearly well thought out plans involved. You have a lot of long game stuff going on, which is very old school. Guys like Hogan and Andre would feud for a year or so before having their blow off, and you do the same kind of stuff here.

I know that's not my strength, so I have to rely on telling the stories in the ring. It's not always perfect, because not every match is perfect, but that's my aim. I don't really even try to waste a lot of time describing moves, necessarily, but I hope I make up for narrative in that regard. Some people just describe a string of moves in their matches, or not much at all, relying on, like you said, something they had nothing to do with. I want to illustrate things a different way, and it's a work in progress, but I think I get better all of the time. That's the only way to write out a New Japan type show, because that's where your story is. You have be dilligent to give historical context when you need to, because it might not be week to week, but maybe these guys met last month, maybe they met years ago, and they are playing to a story that goes back that far as their paths cross again. That's what I find interesting, but I find myself always intrigued by your style and what you do here, because it's a different way, but man, I don't know if I could make my fingers write that many interference finishes or whatever.

But yeah, you keep doing what you do, I was just throwing out some observations.

[jp1985]

Well I'm pretty aware you don't do hours of planning lol. When I say planning, I mean time spent on this activity overall. I don't want to spend hours on this board each week reading, leaving feedback, tinkering with a roster, bang out something that's going to take 60 seconds to read at the minimum twice a month. And you never have done a show that takes 60 seconds to read to my knowledge, so it's not to say your style. Your show isn't far off from this in terms of effort with writing, just like you said, the story is told in the ring each show. I would say the historical context is a big part of any promotion, or should be. I do that as much as the next as I have a year's worth of storylines' history to fall back on so it's there and pretty hard to ignore once you get deep enough into a territory's existence that this stuff starts playing into it. The only potential problem with it is that it generally requires actually reading the shows week to week, and I think your show, my show, nobody is reading it week to week the way it's intended lol. That's why I always say do what you write for yourself because a lot of people reading it, A) they're not reading it with the effort to detail the writer would want them to when it was written, B) they're not reading it each week to get the big picture, C) once it's done, it's done, forgotten, onto the next. And that's not knocking anybody, this is just a hobby, that's how it should be. But I mean a lot of time, people leave feedback when it's pretty obvious they didn't even read the show start to finish, word for word. And I'll fully admit right now, I'm as guilty of it as anybody because there's only so much time in the week.

[Deleted]

Oh yeah, that's the truth.
