Dark Match #1: Scotty 2 Hotty vs. Akio Akio was sent down to OVW a few weeks back to work on his intensity in the ring. I saw some improvement, but not much. Akio wrestled a more ground based match here, without many of his high-flying spots. He did get booed heavily by the crowd while Scotty got massive pops. The match began with a typical cruiserweight exchange, with Akio mocking Scotty's dancing. Akio worked on Scotty in the corner. He hit a legsweep into an interesting leglock submission. He put an abdominal stretch on Scotty as the crowd chanted for him. He fought out of the hold, as Akio charged into an elbow and a boot from Scotty. Scotty cranks up the offense with some dancing put in. Scotty tries the bulldog for the Worm, but Akio clotheslines him flat to the floor. Akio tries to do his own version of the Worm, but Scotty sneaks up, bulldogs him, and hits his patented finisher for the victory. Winner: Scotty 2 Hotty
WWE Velocity!
Velocity Match #1: Rene Dupree vs. Charlie Haas (w/ Miss Jackie) Just to state the blatantly obvious, Jackie = HOT. I couldn't tell whether Dupree had Fifi with him or not. The match started off with Haas dominating Dupree with his amateur wrestling expertise. He hits a pair of nice armdrags into arm wringers as the crowd lets out a loud "USA!" chant. They ended up botching a spot (I have no idea what they were trying to do) but Dupree gets a snapmare out of it. He draws a chorus of boos as he performs the French Tickler, but Haas sneaks up and rolls him for a 2 count. Dupree brawls with Haas outside, rolling back in and getting a 2 count. Haas comes back with a nice suplex and two spears in the corner. He counters Dupree into a neckbreaker for 2. They run into the ropes, and they roll through several times as Dupree gets the upper hand and stays on top of Haas for the pinfall. Winner: Rene Dupree
Velocity Match #2: Mark Jindrak vs. Funaki A mirror is set up in the ring, as "The Reflection of Perfection" comes out to worship himself in it. Funaki gets a pretty good pop. You gotta love the guy. Jindrak bullies him to start, but Funaki gets an early burst of offense with some hard punches and armdrags, but it turned out to be short lived as Jindrak delivers a LOUD slap and a high dropkick to the face to get a 2 count. He applies a side headlock. Funaki fights out, but he goes down again. Jindrak charges into an elbow and a boot by Funaki and gets hung up on the top turnbuckle. Funaki with an inziguri followed by a bulldog for a near fall. Jindrak finishes things off by executing a high one-armed side slam for the win. Winner: Mark Jindrak
Velocity Match #3: The FBI vs. The Basham Brothers Nothing too noteworthy in this match. Nunzio played the face in peril. At one point, Nunzio was outside on the apron and Danny rammed his face into the steel ring post. That pin attempt was broken up by Stamboli. Doug's top rope leg drop misses, and that allows Nunzio to take in Stamboli, and HE'S ON FIRE!! After clearing house, he throws Doug into Danny and rolls him up for the 3. Winners: The FBI
Velocity Match #4: Bubba Ray Dudley (w/ D-Von and Spike Dudley (Cruiserweight Champion)) vs. Hardcore Holly (w/ Billy Gunn) Lockup to start. Bubba shoves Holly in the corner and screams "You're not so bad!" Holly responds by furiously shoving Bubba to the mat. Holly gains the upper hand, chopping the hell out of Bubba. Bubba battles back with punches before his "suck on this" taunt, but Holly immediately clotheslines him down. Holly hangs Bubba on the top rope and kicks him low as Billy starts chasing Spike up the ramp. Bubba with a turning spinebuster for 2. Both men clothesline each other down. They're slow to their feet as Holly lands The Best Dropkick In The Business. D-Von gets on the apron, but Billy pulls him off. Holly nails a top rope clothesline. However, Spike distracts Holly enough for him to turn around and take a spear from Bubba and score the pinfall. Winner: Bubba Ray Dudley
