You should know the story by now. 5-6 minutes of good action with a bullshit finish finishing a ref bump and interference. It’s the same shit literally every week. They are promoting a hanging match involving Trailer Park Trash and the black Robbie D which is beyond tasteless. Once again, cornette was going unjustifiably nuts on commentary at the end without hardly any heat from the crowd. I am really ready for this era of OVW to be over more than WCW and ECW right now. **1/4

133rd verse, same as the first. OVW books the same show every week, has the same matches every week and has the same bullshit every week, all while Jim Cornette screams at the top of his lungs. Over it.

Trash shows he can wrestle as well as brawl, getting the better of the opening grappling exchanges. Conway with a whip to the corner, but he removes his shades instead of following up and Trash nails him with a clothesline. Bodyslam and a leg drop for two. Trash whips him from post to post, side slam, however he misses a leg drop off the top. Conway puts the boots to him and a suplex for a near fall. Trash starts to fire back but a poke to the eyes stops him in his tracks. Reverse chinlock with the knee digging in the back for added pressure. Trash ducks a clothesline, not a back elbow though. Scoop powerslam, but Conway misses the ‘Iron Fist’. Trash with a flurry of rights, he rams Conway into the top turnbuckle and a knife edge chop. Huge back drop and a great looking clothesline. A series of Irish whip reversals and Trash is whipped into the referee, squashing him in the corner. Conway with a belly to back and Nick Dinsmore is out and sneaks into the ring, hitting Conway in the knee with a baseball bat. Trash with a Figure Four and Conway passes out from the pain as Nick Dumayer counts his shoulders to the mat. Robbie D attacks Trash after the match and ends up putting a noose around his neck and hanging him over the top rope. A pre-cursor for their ‘gallows match’, where you have to hang your opponent, at the Louisville Gardens.

 

These two had a good match and I wouldn’t be down on the interference if we didn’t have it IN EVERY SINGLE MATCH!!! Trash is probably the OVW guy I’m enjoying the most (either him or Damaja), which is weird considering he never got a WWF deal. Some visual we’re left with as the show goes off the air with Trash seemingly fighting for his life as Robbie D is hanging him.

I wonder how many months will pass before we get a clean finish in OVW? Below Average Match.

OVW really did a hanging match with a black wrestler? How did that not win most disgusting promotional tactic in 2000? As for the match, it was typical OVW. The crowd doesn't even react to anything anymore because it doesn't matter.
