Here is a brief report on a very waterlogged event.
Fans stood in line in a gentle rain for hours to attend the event at Six Flags and the chance to meet Jerry the King Lawler. OVW Fan Club members had the chance to meet both Lawler and Cena. I got to meet Cena who was extremely nice and made every fan feel appreciated. Due to the long line to see the King, I didn't get to see him.
Despite the bad weather, the attendance was standing room only.
First match was a Diva scramble match with nine OVW divas which was won by Beth Phoenix who got the pin on Nattie Neidhart.
Second match was TJ Dalton and Jamin Olivencia facing the New Generation Hart Foundation Harry Smith and Teddy Hart with Nattie Neidheart. The New Hart Foundation won that one as the rain started to get worse.Visibility at the matchs from ringside was bad due to many fans moving their chairs into groups closer to the front, staying on their feet and making it very difficult to see what was happening, despite the best efforts of the Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom security. This was unfortunate and the first time that I've attended an OVW event with this problem. Blame it on the weather I guess.
As the rain continued to get harder, John Cena faced Shawn Spears. Cena won the match with a very wet FU in the middle of the ring.
Jerry Lawler then faced KC James who came to the ring with Kassidy James, and their managers Kenny "the Starmaker" Bolin and Mini B. The match stipulations were changed at the start to a no disqualification match, so that the King could legally use his infamous piledriver. After a hard match with many slips caused by the soggy conditions, Lawler landed a piledriver on KC for the win and clobbered Kenny Bolin with his briefcase and a soggy punch on Mini B for good measure.The show was then stopped due to worsening weather conditions.
