Ohio Valley Wrestling

Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) is an American independent professional wrestling promotion based in Louisville, Kentucky. OVW was initially a member promotion of the National Wrestling Alliance from its inception in 1997 until 2000, when it became the primary developmental territory for the World Wrestling Federation (now WWE). OVW remained in this role from 2000 until 2008. The promotion was unaffiliated from February 7, 2008 until November 2011, and is run by owner Nightmare Danny Davis.

In 2012, OVW became the farm territory for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA). However, the relationship ended on November 2, 2013. As of December 2011, over 100 OVW alumni have appeared in WWE.

History

OVW was founded by Nightmare Danny Davis in 1997 as an NWA member. However, OVW separated from NWA in 2000. After, the company became the farm territory of World Wrestling Federation/ Entertainment. Jim Cornette was head booker of OVW and majority investor, but he was fired by WWE for slapping a student, Anthony Carelli. He was replaced by Paul Heyman, who booked OVW until being called up to be the booker of the ECW brand. Greg Gagne was supposed to be booker after Heyman, but his knowledge of OVW was limited so the booking was extended to also include Al Snow and Danny Davis. Gagne was later released from the company, leaving booking to Snow and Davis.

    Rewind That Back

    by: Mc Frontalot

    (Hey! Hey!)
    Oh no!
    The beat's so busted up like my lip, drinkin pedro out
    the rusted cup
    Shredded it, embedded a sample that didn't fit
    Tell me I'll regret it?
    (You'll regret it.)
    Yo, I already did.
    Sitting on the edge of a cliff, differentiating
    hating from loving something from nothing
    I'm puffing on the ashes of long-lost friend I couldn't
    fend for,
    nor foresee the end for, wouldn't bend for
    I'ma lend more attention to her after the fact
    when I'm actually wishin' that I could... no, hold
    on... could you... wait, could we rewind that back?
    (Hey!)
    Don't you ever wish you could rewind that back and take
    it over
    Change up the hot for the cold or...
    Don't you ever wish you could rewind that back and take
    it over
    Trade a yes yes! for the no, sir.
    (Hey! Hey! ... Hey!)
    Switch up my style ahead of time?
    What am I, your psychic pal Dionne? Severing
    everything,
    telling 'em not to sing the song romanticizing regrets
    when every epitaph's made up of epithets
    safe bet: someday you're gonna wish you done otherwise
    irritated some other guys, sank down in some other
    thighs
    Sung somehow some more soothing lullabies, and I see
    tears are on the verge of overflow and so I flee
    cause MC front ain't never looked back.
    Everything I ever done was right on track-
    (factfactfact) fact of the matter, I will never be
    regrettin' something
    Hope you don't think I'm frontin'! (You are...)
    Don't you ever wish you could rewind that back and take
    it over
    Change up the hot for the cold or...
    Don't you ever wish you could rewind that back and take
    it over
