MNM reunion, of sorts, at OVW tapings

[greeby]

First off, after TV and intermission was over, out came Chris Cage. Cage is without question the #1 heel in OVW right now, and he proved why again as he came out griping, whining etc about his veteran status. That brought out Elijah Burke, who proceeded to rip Cage to shreds in the ring. Humiliated, Cage left the ring and out came Joey Matthews and Von Lilus.

Joey got in Elijah's face, but Elijah tore in to Joey, almost causing an altercation. However, Elijah then introduced JOHN MORRISON, who came out, and proceeded to tear the house down with Joey. This match probably went a good 20 minutes, and is the best match I've seen Morrison have since... I can't remember. Anyways, Morrison kicked the ref, knocking him out, which brought out another ref, who Joey gave a stiff looking forearm to after Morrison kicked out, which brought out Von Lilus to interfere with a chair.

THEN it gets interesting. As Lilus is getting ready to hit Morrison, out comes MELINA!!! She ballshots Lilus and Morrison hits his finish for the win. All the babyfaces come out and celebrate, as Morrison/Melina praise OVW.

He did, but he is working with the now unaffiliated OVW as a trainer and in-ring talent.

Damn I wish I could have seen this

[Dirty Hazy]

if OVW broke from WWE, why were Melina and Morrison there?

I'm guessing they can still take some small independant bookings

[Deleted]

Even if there is a break between the groups, WWE likely pays a lot of attention to OVW.

OVW can still use WWE talent, they just have to book them through WWE and pay them like any indy would.

[Andrew is Good]

I think there is still somewhat of a working relationship. A lot of OVW alumni are still pretty loyal to Danny Davis.

[norbac]

Still hope Mercury can someday return to the WWE.

[edgehead]

I forgot why Mercury got released in the first place?

[Back to being Cenanuff]

Wellness violations.

i think he took one too many painkillers for his nose

[Chainsaw]

Looking at that writeup, I was absolutely lost in who the heel was and who the face was?

It is cool that they can still book people from WWE, tho.

Yeah, I know Tommy Dreamer's going to be part of the Six Flags show tonight.

[Joekishi]

I think the OVW/WWE relationship isn't really all that bad, because I always see WWE talent on OVW results.

I just think WWE went with FCW so they could actually have their own developmental.

They can still go there, just the E won't pay for transport costs. But as a lot of the roster are in town for an appearance to support Victoria's car shop, no problem
