Maximus Khan and Jay Bradley are the two Ohio Valley Wrestling talents that most caught my eye and are now on my radar. If you are going to catch any matches, the Moose vs. Bradley and The North vs. Acey Romero &amp; Larry D matches were my two favorites but check out Wentz vs. Maximus since Maximus seems like an interesting character. This is my first-time hearing D\u2019Lo on commentary, and I thought he did a really serviceable job and would like to hear more from him. Also, is this not the most unfortunate timing to have your special named Outbreak, with it happening during the time of the COVID-19 outbreak?<\/p>\n<p><b>\u2022Dimes vs. \u201cCategory 5\u201d Corey Storm \u2013 PUSH:<\/b> A short match between two young OVW wrestlers getting ring time during the preshow. I don\u2019t know much about these two, but I liked some of the aggressiveness Dimes showed. Storm is the youngest wrestler to hold the OVW Television Championship. Storm wins with his top rope double stomp called \u201cEye of the Storm\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>\u2022Cali Young vs. Ray Lyn \u2013 PUSH:<\/b> Like the first match, this is about two talents getting some ring time in and they make the most of it. I liked Cali; she showed some charisma. Unfortunately, after getting pushed into her manager DL3 who was on the apron grabbing the referee\u2019s attention, Cali is rolled up by Lyn for the win.<\/p>\n<p><b>\u2022Zachary Wentz vs. Maximus Khan \u2013 HIT:<\/b> I need to see more Maximus Khan. I love the guy\u2019s look, his ringside attire, and badass music. He looks like a Robert E. Howard\u2019s Conan villain. Once he got in the ring, I was ready for him to murder Wentz. I\u2019m going to keep an eye out for him in the future. Good match with Khan in the role of the heavy, beating down Wentz. Wentz got some hope spots in but is ultimately defeated by Khan\u2019s spear.<\/p>\n<p><b>\u2022Dave Crist vs. Joey Ryan \u2013 HIT:<\/b> It\u2019s a Joey Ryan match so\u2026 Still here? Good. There is some funny banter between Crist and Joey that played to the audience followed by some decent wrestling. Dave plays a good fall guy for Joey\u2019s stuff. Fun time waster if you have a sense of humor. Joey wins with the \u201cTouch It\u201d-Sweet Tooth Music combo.<\/p>\n<p><b>\u2022Johnny Swinger vs. Wille Mack \u2013 MISS:<\/b> I have two problems with this match. First it is the second match with a gimmick wrestler in a row; Joey Swinger wrestles in a parody of the 80s style so it\u2019s another slow match. Second issue I have it that it went too long. They could\u2019ve accomplished the same match in half the time. Other than that, in a vacuum it is a good enough match. Mack wins with the Six-Star Frog Splash.<\/p>\n<p><b>\u2022\u201cShotgun\u201d Tony Gunn vs. Trey Miguel \u2013 PUSH:<\/b> This is a much faster match than the previous two. Trey and Gunn put forth a good show. Trey sells a leg injury throughout the match but is able to overcome Gunn and win with a Meteora. Good, though not great, match. I will hand this to Trey though, his selling of the leg after the match is spot on unless he was legit injured.<\/p>\n<p><b>\u2022Moose vs. Jay Bradley \u2013 HIT:<\/b> Moose finds himself in an unusual situation of both facing someone his size and being the crowd favorite. This is a good match between two big men with impressive power spots and getting a \u201cthis is awesome\u201d chant from the crowd. Moose wins with the No-Jackhammer-Needed Spear.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1610157015\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><b>\u2022The North vs. Acey Romero &amp; Larry D \u2013 HIT:<\/b> Ethan Page and Josh Alexander are great as The North. They take on two superheavyweights in Larry D and Acey Romero in a brutal encounter. There is a part of the match where they work over Acey for so long, it was starting to look criminal. The North wins with their a tandem crucifix powerbomb toss from the corner Also, D\u2019Lo tried really hard to get the name XXXL to stick for the Larry and Acey team.<\/p>\n<p><b>\u2022Madman Fulton vs. Rhino, Old School Rules No Disqualification Match \u2013 MISS:<\/b> This is your standard, run-of-the-mill, every day, no disqualification, hardcore match. Let that last sentence sink in for a minute\u2026 So, we get everything you\u2019d expect from one of Rhino\u2019s \u201cECW Special\u201d matches, with chairs, kendo sticks, and trashcans. A competent match but there is nothing new. Rhino goes over with a Gore.<\/p>\n<p><b>\u2022Kiera Hogan vs. Megan Bayne vs. Jessicka Havok vs. Jordynne Grace \u2013 PUSH:<\/b> This is a solid match. I went in with my eye on Megan Bayne and how she\u2019d fare in the ring with three established Impact stars. Megan acquitted herself well but didn\u2019t really stand out which is admittedly hard to do in the chaos of a 4-way match. Megan taps out to Havok\u2019s Boston Crab leg lock to end the match. Oh, and I hate Kiera Hogan\u2019s new haircut. Maybe with time it\u2019ll grow on me.<\/p>\n<p><b>\u2022Jake Crist &amp; Ace Austin vs. Daga &amp; Tessa Blanchard \u2013 HIT:<\/b> Ace Austin and Jake Crist is a weird team-up. Ace spends the entire match avoiding Tessa, which was driving her crazy, making you want to see Tessa get her hands on Ace even more. Tessa does a good job at selling her frustration and when she finally tags in while Ace is legal, Ace immediately tags in Jake. Tessa proceeds to unleash pent up her rage on poor Jake. There is a scary moment in the match when Ace and Daga botch a northern lights suplex causing Daga to get dropped on his head. Josh on commentary called it bowling-shoe-ugly. Tessa wins with a Buzzsaw DDT on Jake to close the show.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>RECOMMENDED:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2020\/02\/26\/impact-sacrifice-hits-misses-rhino-staple-guns-mooses-crotch-hogan-and-lyn-overstays-its-welcome-ryan-wins-with-the-touch-it-finisher-tessa-goes-over-the-top\/\">IMPACT SACRIFICE HITS &amp; MISSES 2\/22: Rhino staple guns Moose\u2019s crotch, Hogan and Lyn overstays its welcome, Ryan wins with the Touch It finisher, Tessa goes over the top<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-3672954440\"><div id=\"pwtor-680264607\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>\u2022Overall \u2013 PUSH: I don\u2019t want to say Outbreak was a bad special, just totally skippable.
