*A very emotional TV taping last night for OVW featuring Matt Cappotelli. A few weeks ago after being taken to a hospital, Cappotelli discovered he had a tumor, which has turned out to be cancerous. Cappotelli gave up the OVW Title and said a prayer in the ring. He said on a scale of 1 to 4 with 4 being the worst, his is a 2. Our wishes are with Cappotelli during this trying time. You can watch the very emotional speech at WWE.com.
