Preview of tonight's big OVW tv taping

OVW returns to the Davis Arena (4400 Shepherdsville Road in Louisville, Kentucky) tonight with the long awaited Strap Match for the OVW Heavyweight Title with Brent Albright aka Smackdown's Gunner Scott against CM Punk.
Last week on OVW TV, it was announced at the beginning of the show that the match, which was scheduled for last week, would be delayed a week because Albright's overseas tour for Smackdown was extended. Punk did a great interview at the end of the show saying Albright was a disgrace, a disgrace not only to the title but to OVW itself. But after Punk finished what he had to say, he was brutally attacked by the self-proclaimed H.N.I.C., Shad Gaspar, formerly Da Beast. Earlier in the show, Gaspard beat Robbie Dawber to a pulp. Gaspar threw some heavy blows to Punk's face, and then told him, "I told you this ain't white boy day!" Gaspar looks far more intimidating in this character than as Da Beast, and a lot has to do with the fact that his hair is taken out of the rows. Gaspar is a strong wrestler, so his feud with Punk should be really good.
Also on last week's show, Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka made a surprise appearance, trying to talk some sense into his son, Deuce Shade of the Untouchables. But Deuce's tag team partner Domino was disrespectful to Superfly, and they got into it. Deuce did nothing to help his father. Boris Alexev continued his winning ways with a quick tap out victory over Russell Simpson, and appeared to break Russell's arm in the process. Tank Tolland returned to singles action and defeated Sylvan Grenier of WWE fame, but Tank is still looking for a match against Chad.
But the biggest news of the week was the relationship between The Miz and Seth Skyfire's girlfriend Roni Jonah. They arrived at the arena together, but Skyfire's comment when asked was "he better hold onto her, because that's the only thing of mine he's getting his hands on," talking about the OVW TV Title. Roni, by the way, really does look like Lita's little sister. She's a cancer survivor, and talks about her ordeal in fighting the dreaded disease, as well as how being bisexual is "the best of both worlds." You can check her thoughts out at www.myspace.com/ronijonah . Personally, I think she's the hottest new diva out there, because she's all real, and she's young and doesn't play the diva role, she's just a rock n roll hot chick with an attitude.
With The Miz (and Roni) and Aaron "The Idol" Stevens coming after him, how long can Seth Skyfire keep the OVW Television Title?
Last week's show was the last in the April, 2006 series. OVW TV shows are available on videotape and DVD's, and are sold as a monthly series. More information is available at http://www.ovwrestling.com/, where you can also find directions to the show in case you're in the Louisville area.
