Guest converge241 Report post Posted January 16, 2003 Observer:They did an angle at last night's OVW tapings to get Damaja out of the Royal Rumble Cornette was in the ring for the next interview segment with Tom Pritchard, he talked about how Rocky "Soul Man" Johnson was named as a trainer. Rocky Johnson then made his way out to some chants of "ROCKY, ROCKY" as well as a nice standing ovation from the Davis Arena crowd. Rocky talked about being here in OVW and getting to train the guys who want to go to the WWE in the near future, then talked about his son The Rock, and talked about The Rock being in movies, etc.. The Damaja and Jackie Gayda then made their way to the ring, Damaja talked about being in the Royal Rumble, then started talking about Rocky's son the Rock. The Soul Man didn't like what Damaja was saying and slugged him. Then the Soul Man went after Jackie and thats where the Damaja attacked Rocky Johnson. Tom Pritchard then tried to stop Damaja from beating down Rocky Johnson but the Damaja gave him the Brain Damage, then threw Jimmy out of the ring, and thats where the OVW Security made their way out where they either got a Brain Dmage or a beat down from the Damaja. Damaja and Jackie then left the ringside area immediately as the cameras went to a commercial break. Dark Match Nova vs Rene Dupree - Winner was Nova when Rene got DQ'ed for outside interfearence by Kenny "The King" Bolin. When they came back from the break, Dean Hill was at the announcers desk and told the audience that Jimmy was on the phone in the back with someone from WWE. Everyone at home and in the arena then found out who the conversation was with as they heard the telephone conversation over the speakers between Jim Cornette and Jim Ross. Jim Cornette stated that what Damaja did in the ring earlier in the show and said it was uncalled for. Jim Ross then did what he considered was 'best' and announced Damaja would be taken out of this Sunday's WWE Royal Rumble. After that was said, Jimmy came back to the announcers table to join Dean and all of a sudden the Revolution's music blares across the loudspeakers. Out came the Damja and Jackie Gayda with the OVW title and bags, and other things in hand. Damaja was extremely upset at what just occured, he said some uncalled for words, and that's where he went nuts and started breaking the monitors, throwing chairs, throwing milk crates; one milk crate landed in the ring and the other one hit the camera guy. He then went and knocked the announcers desk over. Just before Jackie Gayda and he left, he said the WWE, OVW, Danny Davis, and Jim Cornette can all shove it because he is Quitting OVW. This sent parts of the crowd cheering and some of them booing at the events that just took place!! TV Main Event: "The Machine" Doug Basham vs Rhyno - Winner was "The Machine" Doug Basham with the diving headbutt off of the top top rope. figured id throw in the tidbit about Rhyno too as some people were talking about him in other threads Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest subliminal_animal Report post Posted January 16, 2003 This is off-topic, but since you mentioned Rocky Johnson, I was just curious to know if anyone knew the deal between the heat between him and Tony Atlas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Redhawk Report post Posted January 17, 2003 How long had the Damaja/Royal Rumble angle been running? If it's more than one month, than that's got to be the of the longer bait-and-switches I can recall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted January 17, 2003 Eh he's just getting back in ring shape a little jobbing in OVW won't hurt him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest kane3212321 Report post Posted January 17, 2003 It started in November, but at least they remembered it was going to happen. If it were WWE they would drop the angle and pretend it never happened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest dreamer420 Report post Posted January 17, 2003 I'm glad to hear that Rhyno is back in the ring and wrestling. He was well on his way to main event status in the WWF before his neck injury and I can't wait for him to return. Hopefully he'll make the Rumble but I don't see that happening as it is too early I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
