Sacrifice 5/12/08

[Scott Leland]

Pyro begins to explode everyone on the stage and in the ring.

Mike: Ladies and gentlemen welcome to yet another action packed episode of Sacrifice!

John: THERE WILL BE BLOOD!

Mike: Calm down, man.

There is one last burst of pyro and then "Scream Aim Fire" hits and Chaz Leland walks out to the ring with a mic in hand. He enters the ring and to a mixed reaction from the crowd.

Chaz Leland: Now listen, hate me or love me, you have to listen to everything I have to say! First things first, I have an announcement to make about a small matter. Last week Josh Eagles made an impact, and impact that I have to say is an impressive one. So without further a due, the man himself.

"Remember the Name" by Fort Minor hits and Eagles comes out to the ring. He is instantly surrounded by boos from the crowd.

Chaz Leland: So you attacked Blackjack with a chair and hit Ace with that same chair in mid air. Tell me, what made you do it?

Before Josh could even let out one word, he is surround in "You suck!" chants.

Josh Eagles: Shut the hell up! You should be lucky I came! This place needs me!

Chaz Leland: Can we get on to what I asked...

Josh Eagles: It's simple. The television division is dieing because of washed up loser like Ace and Blackjack. So what if Ace won the title instead of going to the hospital and seeing you Blackjack, your not worth it! Ace made a smart decision! What? Are you jealous? Are you jealous that your brother is farther in the business than you?

Chaz Leland: Let me get a word in before we go to break. My announcement is that at Gorefest everyone will witness a fatal four way match for the title. Ace versus Earl Swisher versus the champion Blackjack... and now Josh Eagles! But that's not all, the match will be an elimation match. The two people that are pinned first will team up to participate in the Tag Team Tournament after Gorefest. So this means that Swisher and Ace can be a team, Blackjack and you can be a team. Hell, even Ace and Blackjack can reform the original High Rollers!

The crowd has a huge reaction to this and begins cheering. Cut to commercial.

[Scott Leland]

Simmons: Ladies and gentlemen the following contest is the opening contest for the night and is scheduled one fall.. and it is a House of Hell qualifier!

The happy sounding carnival music starts to play through the arena and the lights blink several different colors. The music turns sinister and the arena goes pitch black with a purple spotlight showing the entrance stage. The Clown Prince comes out with an old cracked bowling pin that is covered in dried blood and he makes his way to the ring glancing at the audience along the way.

Simmons: First... making his way to the ring from the Carnival of Souls...making his debut... he is THE CLOWN PRINCE!

He climbs into the ring between the middle and bottom rope and sits in the corner waiting for his opponent to arrive.

John: I may need to change my pants after this match..

Hunter walks out in his cape and looks around the arena. He starts to walk to the ring as blue smoke surrounds him.

Simmons: And his opponent from NiceVille, FloridaHe hops in the ring and takes his cape off and looks over the arena.

CP instantly begins pounding on Hunter and tries to take him down off his feet.

John: Good luck. Hunter is one tough son of a bitch and I see him in the TV Title division soon.

Hunter throws a right and it knocks Clown Prince down to the mat. Clown gets up and charges at Hunter with a right of his own, but it is blocked. Hunter picks Clown up in Firemans carry position and drops him down on the mat. Hunter stomps into him a few times and picks him up, followed by a scoop slam.

Mike: One of the toughest guys here, I tell ya.

John: But not one of the best, he has been working opening matches since his arrival.

Mike: He just needs to get noticed.

Hunter drops down with an elbow drop, making Clown Prince squirm and roll out of the ring. Hunter raises his fists into the air as the crowd cheers for him. Hunter leans over the ropes and grabs the long, green hair of the Clown Prince and pulls him up onto the apron. At this time we can see what Clown has in his hand. He turns around and nails Hunter in the skull with it.

Mike: Oh my god! He just hit him with that sick looking bowling pin!

Hunter falls to the ground and Clown Prince gets into the ring.

John: Not again!

Hunter gets to one knee and we can see blood coming out of his mask. Clown Prince charges at him with the bowling pin. Hunter quickly grabs his throat and lifts him into the air. Clown out of no where slams the pin into Hunters head, knocking him out. Hunter drops to the mat hard.

Mike: The Clown Prince is going to win this one!

He backs into a corner and runs to Hunter, who is laying on his back. Clown Prince jumps up and hits a running seated senton!

John: Whoopie Cushion!

The Clown Prince pins Hunter,..............1..........2..........3!!!

Simmons: Here is your winner and the newest addition to the House of Hell match at Gorefest.... The Clown Prince!

TCP gets up and grabs the bloody bowling pin and begins making his way up the ramp. The crowd is full of boos.

John: Their booing him now but he is the future of this business!

[Scott Leland]

Cut to Earl Swisher walking down a hallway in the back. He comes to a lockerroom door and knocks on it repeatingly

Earl: Grant, buddy, you in there? I just wanted to give you a little pep talk before your match.

He knocks again on the door and looks around. He turns the doorknob open and enters. The lights are off.

Earl: Grant?

He turns on the lights to reveal Grant Stetson lying on the ground bleeding perfusely from the back of his head. Broken glass is scattered across the lockerroom as half a light fixture is seen at Earl's feet.

Earl: Holy fuck!

He crouches next to Grant and feels the back of his head. He runs out into the hall

Earl: (screaming) HELP! HELP! Get some EMTs in here!

[Scott Leland]

John: Well Mike, it’s time to find out, who is the #1 contender for the Tag Team Championships?

Mike: It’s going to be a great one…

“Halo blast through the arena”

“The lights go out and the arena is filled with green spot lights circling around. A strobe spot light hits the entrance way and two men come out in black hooded unzipped sweat shirts with the hoods up covering their heads. They make their way to the ring. Saint goes up the steel steps as Sinn climbs up and over the ropes. The two men stand side by side in the middle of the ring, the lights come on and the men throw their hoods back. Both men go to one of the two corners on the ring closest to the camera and hold their arms up. Saint spins and jumps down while Sinn sits and perches himself on the top rope waiting on their opponents.”

Bob Simmons: Ladies and Gentlemen, Death’s Disciples!

Mike: They have been struggling of late John…

John: I hate to say it but I agree…

“Cum on Feel the Noize, by Quiet Riot plays as Max and Mick Warrior walk out. Pausing at the top of the ramp Max kneels down arms drooping at an angle outwards towards the floor at either side and Mike bows his head. After about 3 seconds the light flash brightly for a second before returning to normal, just as Max jumps up in the air and Mike returns to normal and they both walk down the ramp, both with their trademark canes at hand. They pause at the edge of the ring and raise their arms in the air, still clutching the canes. They then slides into the ring and climbs 2 opposite ring posts, raising their arms at each, and then jumping back off. They then set their canes, jackets and hats in the corner.”

John: There they are. We have not seen them for awhile but there back!

Bob Simmons: Any their opponents, The Warriors!
John: Here we go Mike!

“Max and Saint start off in the ring as they lock up and Max quickly hits a powerful head butt and massive DDT. Max goes for the cover. One…Two…A kick out by Saint. Max lifts Saint up and throws him against the ropes and flies at Saint with a running knee and connects. Max goes to the middle rope and jumps off with a powerful elbow and goes for another cover on Saint. One..Two..Th…. Kick out by Saint.”

John: Man.. He can’t get anything going. The come back Warriors are taken care of business.

“Max lifts up Saint and makes the tag to Mike. He comes right in and locks Saint in the sharpshooter. Sinn runs in the ring and breaks it up with a hard drop kick knocking out Mike… Saint finally makes it to his feet while Mike is down and suddenly…..”

“Atreyu Becoming The Bull hits the speakers as Kevin and Mark jog out onto the stage holding a microphone as the match is still going on.”

“Kevin Curtis: Hey there Saint. Looks like you’re getting your ass kicked like always. Have you given up yet? We haven’t seen you around lately..

Mark Mavin: I mean, we already beat every damn tag team in this division except the Warriors which we will as long as they get through this match…Which I have a feeling they will!”

“John: Well let them fight then…”

“Kevin Curtis: We decided to get a close look at this match Saint. We brought our chairs and cooler. Don’t mind us. Continue….”

“The match continues as Saint turns around and Mike is standing up and hits the Hat Crusher. Max runs into the ring and knocks out Sinn on the other side. Mike goes for the pin… One…Two….Three….”

John: They did it Mike. They are back in the HWS and #1 contenders. It’s all because of the Untouchables. What the hell are they trying to prove? That was the quickest match I have seen but due to these guys.

“Mike and Max raise their hands in victory”

“Kevin Curtis: Hey Mike, Max…. Are you ready to come for these? Let us fill you in…We are the tag team champions. Undefeated in the Tag Team Division….There is no way in hell you will defeat us… Oh watch out!!!”

“Suddenly a masked man runs into the ring and hits a HUGE boot to Max then a boot to the groin of Mike and a huge Jackknife power bomb. The man looks up at the Untouchables and goes under the ring and Mark and Kevin are laughing. The hold up their titles and go into the back as the scene fades…."

Simmons: Ladies and gentlemen the following contest is scheduled for one fall and is a House of Hell qualifier!

Bad to the Bone by George Thorogood hits and Titus Redman emerges from the back and begins making his way to the ring.

Simmons: First, making his way to the ring... he is part of the Straightedge Renegades.. he is Titus Redman!

Redman makes his way to the ring and begins circling it.

Simmons: And in the ring, from

Redman enters the ring and stares down the newcomer.

Mike: Great opportunity for Grant! Debuting high in the card and getting a title shot opportunity!

Grant charges at Titus and knocks him into the turnbuckle. He begins throwing a ton of bunches. Titus fights back and throws Grant into the turnbuckle. Now Titus throws the punches, and a few elbows, followed by a DDT. He picks him up and locks in a headlock.

John: Grant has a large obstacle to overcome if he wants to be in the House of Hell!

Grant chants start, and he breaks out of the hold. He kicks Titus in the gut and bounces off the ropes. He charges back at him with a dropkick. Titus moves out of the way and Grant crashes hard to the mat.

Mike: Not looking good for Grant.

Titus lifts him up and throws him back into the turnbuckle and whips him into the opposite corner. Titus charges at him.

John: Look out!

Grant quickly lifts a foot up and it plants right into Titus' jaw. He falls back and lands on his back, holding his jaw. Grant pulls himself onto the turnbuckle.

Mike: What are you doing? Pin him!

Grant, without hesitation, leaps off and hits the Iambic Pentameter (Corkscrew leg drop). He then pins Titus.........1..........2..........3!!

Simmons: Here is your winner.... GRANT STETSON!

Mike: What a win for this newcomer!

Grant leaves the ring, shocked at what happened. He celebrates with the crows as the screen fades to black.

[Scott Leland]

All of a sudden, pyro explodes in the ring and the lights go out... they come back on and a man is standing in the ring.

Mike: SMOKE!?

John: Why? Why is he here?

Smoke laughs and begins speaking to the crowd.

Smoke: I find it funny that you guys are surprised that I'm here. You all thought that the Lynch family died a few weeks ago when Kris Karnage "took out the trash." Listen, you all need to learn something... I am here. Plain and simple. I will never leave no matter what happens. Me and my father got into a fight and I didn't want anything to do with him. But once I saw what happened to him Up In Flames, I began to talk to him.

The crowd begins to chant "You suck" by Smoke ignores it.

Smoke: I talked to him about reuniting and taking down the HWS faster than it grew. Yes, I said it. The New Church is arising, and the HWS is falling. Come Gorefest, HWS will be nothing more than a myth...

"Scream Aim Fire" hits and Chaz Leland walks out to the ring and gets face to face with Smoke.

Chaz Leland: I've come out here to stop this nonsense. You know like everyone else that I can easily fire you if you even think about ending this company. I built it off of blood, sweat, and tears. If yo..

Smoke decks Chaz in the skull and they begin a brawl in the ring. Smoke gets the upper hand and begins laying in the punches. Chaz gets a chance to get up and blocks a punch from Smoke and throws his own. Smoke backs onto the ropes and Chaz charges at him,. He closelines Smoke over the ropes.

Mike: Clean the house, boss!

The crowd cheers for Chaz. Smoke gets up and looks embarrassed. He holds the back of his head as he walks backward up the ramp. He looks at Chaz and lips "It's not over yet!"

Mike: Our main event is next!

[Scott Leland]

Bob Simmons: The following contest is the main event for Sacrifice, and it is a Handicap Match!

The Lights go out and "Don't Question My Heart" by Saliva starts blasting through the speakers. Suddenly gold lights come on and Blackjack is standing at the top of the entrance stage with his TV Title in one hand and his crutch in the other and the crowd goes nuts upon seeing him.

Bob Simmons: Introducing first… from Las Vegas, Nevada… weighing 305lbs… He is the HWS TV Champion… Blackjack!

He puts his belt over his shoulder and and puts his crutch under his right arm and makes his way down to the ring clapping hands with his fans. He goes over to a kid in the front row and gives him his beanie cap then makes his way to the ring. He gets in the ring, rests his crutch on the rope, and stands on the middle rope holding his title. He gets down, takes his jacket and sunglasses off, and hands them, and his crutch, to the ring girl.

The smoke machine begins to cover the entrance as "Tom Sawyer" begins to play over the PA as Earl Swisher runs through the smoke as the crowd is ecstatic.

Bob Simmons: His opponents first… from Ozone, New York… weighing 225lbs… “Wildcard” Earl Swisher!

He stretches his arms as he makes his way down the ramp, making sure to slap the hands of as many fans as he can. He stops in front of the apron and slides into the ring. He runs to the turnbuckle and climbs it, holding his hands up as the fans embrace the icon. He climbs back down and warms up.

Almost Easy begins playing over the speakers.

Bob Simmons: And Earl Swisher’s partner… from Las Vegas, Nevada… weighing 238lbs… Ace!

The music continues to play but Ace never comes out.

Mike McCardle: There’s been rumors going around that Ace is not in the building tonight.

John Prior: Remember he was stretchered out last week after the Josh Eagles attack.

An official runs out to the ring and tells Bob Simmons something.

Bob Simmons: Ladies and gentlemen. I’ve just been informed that Ace is not I the building. Therefore, tonight’s main event has been changed to Earl Swisher vs Blackjack in a non-title match.

Both Earl and Blackjack look confused. The ref calls for the bell.

DING! DING! DING!

Earl and Blackjack circle the ring and shake hands. They lock up and Blackjack powers Earl to the corner. The referee steps in and there is a clean break. They lock up in the middle of the ring and Blackjack goes for a bodyslam but Earl slips behind him. When Blackjack turns around, Earl catches him with a hip toss.

Josh Eagles: Hey Earl! Earl! That is your name isn’t it?

Earl grabs a mic from ringside.

Earl: Yeah that’s me!

Josh: I just wanted to congratulate you on beating the gimp of the HWS.

The crowd begins booing.

Josh: Who is also the HWS TV Champion. I mean how pathetic is this company’s roster for a handicapped man to be a champion.

The crowd boos louder.

Earl: That’s funny Josh. If he’s such a gimp, how come you had to use a chair to take him down last week?

Josh: I did that to make a statement. That Josh Eagles is here in the HWS and I’m going for gold from the start!

Earl: Well how about you make a statement by coming out here and facing me in the ring!

Josh: And give my debut away without the proper advertising! I think not! Besides, I’m scheduled to make my HWS in ring debut next week! I have the contract in hand and if you want to be my first victim, then just sign on the dotted line!

Earl: Have a pen waiting, because as soon as I get to the back I’m signing that contract! And that is Straight Swish!

Earl throws down the mic to cheers from the fans.

Mike McCardle: What a match next week! Josh Eagles making his HWS in ring debut against the “Wildcard” Earl Swisher!

John Prior: Earl may have bitten off more than he can chew!

[Scott Leland]

Chaz is in the ring. A table is set up in the ring with chairs on each side.

Chaz: Okay, it's the end of the show and we need to sign the contracts for the Last Man Standing match at Gorefest for the World Title. Cryptid versus Oblivion.

Cryptid's music hits and he walks out to the ring with the belt. He hops in and lays it onto the table.

Cryptid: Listen Chazzy... We don't need to sign this contract. We all know that the match at Gorefest is going to result in me retaining. It's that simple. I already know that I will be the one with the belt around my waist. Oblivion should just save himself the hassle and stay in the back with all the others checked off my list!

Oblivion's music hits and he appears on the stage. The crowd cheers for him as he makes his way to the ring.

Cryptid: Why bother? I've beaten you before and I can do it again.
