BEFORE THE SACRIFICE { We open with a highlight reel of last week’s Before the Sacrifice set to the tune of Born for One Thing by Gojira. Following the opening sequence of Before The Sacrifice we head the studio where Laura Howlett and Keybo Shabaz stand. }Laura Howlett: Welcome ladies and gentlemen to another edition of Before the Sacrifice! I am your humble and gracious host, Laura Howlett! And this absolute sack of monkey crap poured into a suit three sizes too small next to me is Keybo Shabaz! Keybo Shabaz: You really are extremely humble. Laura Howlett: I know! And gracious enough to not have Tytus Rost beat the ever living shit out of you every second of every day! Keybo Shabaz: I… I kind of appreciate that? Laura Howlett: You should! Now this is a special edition of Before the Sacrifice as we take part in tag team appreciation week! Keybo Shabaz: I’m very excited to see the teams in action tonight! And who knows, maybe some of these teams will stay together and make a run at Violent Tendencies!? Laura Howlett: Now that is an actual interesting thought you just had. I’m assuming someone smarter than you fed you that line. Kaybo Shabaz: I’m capable of good ideas. Laura Howlett: And yet you’ve basically never had one until just now. But before we get started with the tag team action we are going to hear from the number one contender to the World Television Championship! Nick Danger! SEGMENT Nick Danger addresses his future World Television Title shot { The cameras show Nick Danger backstage of IWF he is standing wearing street clothes and his leather jacket that says “Savior” on the back. He looks at the camera and speaks with a look of determination on his face. }Nick Danger:Hello, everyone on Before Sacrifice let me get this out of the way so you guys can enjoy the show. Nick Danger: As you guy’s saw at Night Of The Immortals where I defeated Almir Sayed. I became the number one contender for the IWF World Television Championship. At this moment I feel like this is my moment to prove everyone wrong in this company that doubts I can ever be champion in IWF . Nick Danger: JC Kenton I watched your match against Ulf and hands down you went to war with him. I plan on winning that title from you at the next pay per view because I am going to watch your moves and be ready for a one on one match soon for are match. Nick Danger: I will prove that I belong here and push you over your limit. As the New Savior Of Wrestling. If you doubt me in that ring it will lead to your downfall. JC Kenton I hope you find me as a threat and not just an over my head kind of rookie. I will be ready for a match just give me everything you got just like you did Ulf Hedif. Nick Danger:And with that I see you guys later and let’s go to the first match shall we. { We cut back to Laura and Keybo in the studio. }Keybo Shabaz: Strong words from Nick Danger, it’ll be interesting to see if he can get it down against JC Keeton! Laura Howlett: Nick Danger is solely responsible for the end of Almir Sayed’s run in IWF and for that reason alone I hope he accidentally breaks his neck in the shower before the match. Keybo Shabaz: That’s harsh. Laura Howlett: So is listening to either of you talk. Now! Let’s take it to our first match of the evening! Keybo Shabaz: Vendetta is taking on two members of the Church of Crosse in Gregor Winter and Jack Ferriman! Laura Howlett: I really dig these Vendetta guys and both Winter and Ferriman are extremely talented. I’m very interested to see how this one turns out. TAG TEAM MATCH 1K RP Word Limit Vendetta vs Gregor Winter and Jack Ferriman { We watch each team make their full entrance both to mixed reactions from the crowd. The match started off with Jesse and Gregor in the ring. Jesse tried to lock up with Winter but Winter threw him off like he was nothing. Jesse made a quick tag to Travis and the two rushed Gregor hitting a double shoulder block. Winter did not go down and Ferriman came in with a running big boot on Jesse. Travis paired off with Gregor now and went for a go behind and a German suplex. Gregor stuffed the attempt and hit a back elbow. Gregor then whipped Travis into the ropes and caught him with a big boot on the rebound. Gregor then connected with a knee drop and a cover but Jesse broke it up. Gregor took Travis to the Church’s corner and tagged in Ferriman. Ferriman and Gregor hit a double team delayed vertical suplex. Ferriman covered but Jesse broke it up again. Jesse was forced from the ring by the referee as Jack went on the offense against Travis with several big chops and a running powerslam. Travis would turn things around with a Frost Blade on Ferriman followed right up with the C4 Exploder. Travis tagged Jesse in and the two hit a doubler spine buster on Ferriman. Jesse made the cover but Gregor made the save. Jesse went for the North Bound and Down after that but Jack blocked it and grabbed Jesse for a Choke Breaker. Jack went back to his corner and tagged in Gregor. Winter came off the top with a diving head butt and a cover but Jesse kicked out. Gregor then hit the Alaskan Cold Rush and another cover but Travis broke it up. Winter pulled Jesse up off the mat but Jesse came back with the Fallen Phoenix. Jesse tagged Travis back in and the two connected with the Double Shot! Travis made the cover but Jack was there for the save. Gregor got back to his feet as Vendetta double teamed Jack. Gregor grabbed Jesse for a release German suplex. Jack creamed Travis with a head butt. Gregor then tagged Jack back in. Jack grabbed Travis for a Buckle Bomb with Gregor’s foot on the rope turn buckle! Jack set Travis up for his finish but Jesse came in with a chop block. Gregor entered the ring but Vendetta grabbed him for Frozen Rain! Vendetta turns their attention back to Jack. They hit Jack with Stormbreaker and Travis makes the cover for the pinfall and the victory at twelve minutes and thirty two seconds! }Laura Howlett: Vendetta with a big victory over the Church! Keybo Shabaz: And excellent showcase of tag team action! Laura Howlett: It’s unfortunate I had to watch it with you breathing my air next to me. Keybo Shabaz: Well I’m sorry for that. Laura Howlett: As you should be! My doctor has told me countless times I shouldn’t be breathing the same air as idiots! Keybo Shabaz: That sounds like sound medical advise. Laura Howlett: It is! Next up we will hear from another mouth breather, Fiona McFly. I’m honestly glad Verona cock blocked her from the hall of fame. Keybo Shabaz: How could you be glad!? She earned that spot! Laura Howlett: Sorry, I don’t celebrate mediocrity like some of the dumbasses around here. The hall of fame is for the best of the best not some middle of the road moron who’s gotten lucky a couple of times. Keybo Shabaz: Well thankfully that’s your opinion and not the opinion of the people who make the decisions around here. Laura Howlett: And that’s why Verona is a millionaire who should be a billionaire. But what do I know? I only created most of the major stars this company was built on. Roll the damn tape! I’m going to go freshen up. SEGMENT Fiona McFly responds to her HOF snub { In a pre-taped segment, recorded on her ancestral farmland, Fiona McFly leans next to a tree and takes a sip from a bottle of green tea. Her facial expression is cold and calculating as she begins to speak. }Fiona McFly: Steven Bates... { Fiona licks her lips and takes a deep breath. She had made it a point to mention Steve Awesome by his real name, for on this rather drizzly day...she had been asked to address her Hall of Fame snub. }Fiona McFly: You know what you did...and it was wrong. Yet instead of expressing my feelings about my IWF Hall of Fame snub by telling the world how much I want to fucking strangle you, I'm gonna remind you of exactly what made Being Infamous -- the merry band of screwballs you were a part of -- into something very special. { She pulled out her iPhone and showed a photograph of the four of Being Infamous -- herself, Rob Diamond, James Gilmore, and the aforementioned Steve Awesome -- standing in the ring with a group of diehard supporters during the memorable Fredericksburg, Texas show that took place nearly one year ago. }Fiona McFly: We had our quirks and features, we had our flaws and squabbles, we had our happy and tender moments...yet we NEVER used them as a licence to hurt other people. We NEVER paraded around an arena acting like Alpha Elites, acting like we were stronger than the others. In fact...what made our merry band so special was not all those titles we won, but rather what we did for each other -- AND the Imperial world. { She paused, taking another sip from her drink. }Fiona McFly: We went out to that ring and PROVED that you didn’t need to be an Alpha Elite in order to succeed in this life. We went out on the road, out into the field, and PROVED that wrestling could thrive and prosper without all of the God complexes, angels, and demons terrorising people and shoving their dogma down our fucking throats every week! Yet most important of all... { She closed her eyes, remembering what it truly felt like to be a part of one of wrestling’s most successful stables. }Fiona McFly: We helped JJ make peace with his past so he could start a family of his own. We helped Rob finally overcome his critics so he could win the big one. Fuck, we helped YOU achieve sobriety for the first time in your life so you could finally learn to reconnect with your own children. And as for me...you helped me realise that no matter how hard I try, the pain and depression inside my soul will never magically disappear, that I had to live my life as someone who was more than Jack Gaither's wife, that I had to shoulder the burden and carry the torch he'd left behind. { Fiona’s stern, terse visage doesn’t change as she pulled up Roberto Verona’s contact information on her iPhone’s screen and shows it to the camera. }Fiona McFly: You’ve no idea, Steven, just how much I loathe you for what you’ve done. In fact...I could press this button and call Roberto at this very moment, and even though I, too, despise the man...I could tell him that Fowler went over his helmet and let YOU back into Imperial despite the stipulation that you stay retired... { The Northern Irish native took her left index finger and, for a moment, appeared to have dialed Roberto’s number. But instead...she swipes upward on the screen, taking the gadget back to the home screen. }Fiona McFly: ...but I'm not planning to. 'Cos given the funny irony that the All Infamous Academy campus used to be a former prison -- even a prison has its own set of honour codes. In other words, ratting you out to Verona would be a far worse betrayal than when you threw us ALL under the bus and took away something that could've meant something not just to...say, me or JJ...but your own FUCKING SELF!!! { She sighed before closing her eyes once more. After taking a few seconds to let her thoughts process, she simply nodded her head… }Fiona McFly: So...if you truly care about your family -- personally and professionally -- do me a favour...look inside your heart and not this-- { ...before pointing to a certain spot in-between her legs! Whilst she understood that the illustration was somewhat graphic in nature, deep in her soul...Fiona know it was the only way she could get her point across. }Fiona McFly: --and do what's right -- like I know you CAN do. Clean up the mess you've made and confront Roberto Verona -- you'll be a far-off better person for doing so. { Fiona took another sip from her green tea before the video transmission was cut. We head back to the studio. }Laura Howlett: Oh, is she done crying? Good. Let’s get to something much more important. A MATCH! Keybo Shabaz: She made some good points. Laura Howlett: Yeah, I doubt it. TAG TEAM MATCH Cals Jacobsen and Virgina Stepanov vs Caroline Machado and Zelda Simpson { We see highlights of each of the women making their entrances. }Laura Howlett: This should be an interesting match up. None of these women are what you would call friends but they must work together tonight if they want to hit the pay window tonight! Keybo Shabaz: Great observation Laura! Laura Howlett: Yeah, I know, I made it. Keybo Shabaz: I don’t know why I keep trying to make this commentary team work? Laura Howlett: I don’t know why you bother waking up every morning but here we are. Keybo Shabaz: Let’s just get to the match. Laura Howlett: Please. { The match started off with Cals and Zelda. Cals quickly over took Zelda in a tie up and transitioned into a swinging neckbreaker. Cals then went for a sharpshooter ont he downed Zelda but Zelda was able to escape to the ropes. Zelda mounted a come back with some chops and managed to get a DDT on Cals. Zelda made the tag to Caroline who came in hot with several clotheslines on Cals before grabbing her with a belly to belly suplex. Caroline made a cover but Virginia broke it up. Cals then came back with a roundhouse kick to the midsection of Caroline and a snap suplex. Cals made the tag to Virginia. Virginia came in with a knee strike and a spinning heel kick. Virginia then hit several palm strikes on Caroline and a snap dragon suplex. Virginia made a cover but Caroline kicked out. Caroline fought her way back to her feet and drove Virginia into a neutral corner. Caroline hit several gut kicks and pulled Virginia out with a vertical suplex. Caroline tagged back to Zelda who came in looking for a running shoulder tackle but Virginia hit a snap superkick! Virginia then went into the KMA! Virginia tagged back to Cals who grabbed Zelda for a Spectrum Plex! Cals pulled Zelda up and into the Have a Seat Over There! Cals signaled to Virginia who came in across the ring with a Final Ride knocking Caroline off the apron! Cals pull Zelda up for Fall to Pieces and the pinfall victory at eight minutes and twenty nine seconds! }Laura Howlett: Cals and Virginia with the win and a front row seat at the pay window! Keybo Shabaz: Great tag team action by these two competitors. Almost makes you want another tag team division in the IWF. Laura Howlett: One can dream Keybo. And I will dream about a day I can host this show by myself. Keybo Shabaz: I’m sure the fans would love that. Laura Howlett: Not having your face crack their screen on a weekly basis? I bet they would. Keybo Shabaz: Well for Laura- Laura Howlett: You don’t do the sign off! I do. For this arrogant waste of air, Keybo Shabaz, I have been the glorious Laura Howlett! Tune in next week for another edition of Before the Sacrifice! { We close on Laura dressing down Keybo for trying to do the sign off. } |

SEGMENT
A chase...
-------------------------------------
{Dean Harper is seen looking around the backstage area, tearing apart the common areas clearly looking for someone before moving on. Wraith seems to come out of the shadows as soon as Dean is gone. He looks at where Dean left as if to follow but Tara appears and guides him away.}
-------------------------------------
SINGLES MATCH
Crystal vs Candy Kane
-------------------------------------
{Crystal wins}
-------------------------------------
SEGMENT
Ulf has some words
-------------------------------------
{The crowd waits in silent anticipation for the arrival of the next star, and they are rather surprised when the sound of “Raise Your Horns” by Amon Amarth begins to play throughout the PA; however, just as thrilled! The crowd has erupted into a loud cheer as Ulf Hednir, not yet ready for his match later in the evening, marches out from behind the curtains with a microphone already held in his hand. He walks down the ramp and high fives many of the fans near the front but his eyes are fixed on the ring, as he is down here with a purpose.}
Terri Morasco: There is no doubt that Ulf is mad over what transpired at the events that took place on Saturday.
Vasco Dias: Ulf can hide all he wants from the competition of professional wrestling, but he’s made some new enemies by all his ranting and raving since returning, and he’s made an enemy of Abraxes!
Terri Morasco: He’s pulling double-duty… anyways, let’s take a look for those that missed it.
{The titantron begins to show a replay from Saturday.}
{When the scene came back to the arena, Ulf was standing inside of the ring being swarmed with “skål” chants from the Ulfpack filling the stands. Despite watching the footage, Ulf had a sly smile on his face in appreciation for the crowd's support, but he sneered as he watched the blood seeping from his own head; he raised a hand to touch where he had been busted open.}
Terri Morasco: It was terrifying. That’s something you see right out of horror movies.
{Ulf raises the microphone.}
Ulf Hednir: Abraxes-- listen… {Chuckles.} Jeg er not-- jeg er not mad det du decided to take a shot at me. Years. Years! Have passed, og nobody has busted me open. Ever. Nei en has made me bleed. Ever. But du-- {He nods his head.} --du did. Now, as jeg say: jeg er not mad, but det does not mean det jeg vil not seek hevn. Revenge! Hva jeg er trying to say is simple, Abraxes: du started a fight, og du er not going to vinne it! BLOOD! FOR! BLOOD!
{The crowd erupts into a loud cheer as Ulf’s voice raises with passion, and he is snarling while telling the monster that he would not sit idly by. He seems ready to resume his speech into what would have undoubtedly been something to inspire the masses, and ensure they all knew and believed he would conquer; however, he is interrupted by the lights suddenly going out. The entire arena shrouded in darkness for only a couple seconds before the titantron lights up, and Abraxes is there.}
Abraxes: Berserker. Heathen! You bark for a long time how nobody could make you bleed… how could NOT bleed--
{The camera focuses on Ulf for a moment, as he watches Abraxes during the speech. There is no sign of where Abraxes is.}
Abraxes: --about how you are… INVINCIBLE. But Night of the Immortals, you were shown to be… vulnerable. This last week, I proved that YOU. CAN. BLEED. You bark-- you cry-- I… hear. You believe yourself to be untouchable--
{Abraxes suddenly let his arms out to his side and the light came to be: Abraxes was standing in the hallway belonging to Ulf’s new penthouse in Las Vegas.}
Abraxes: There is nowhere…
{While holding the same stance, the lights go out a second time, and back up: he is now standing in the living room of Ulf’s home in Odda, Norway.}
Abraxes: That I can’t be.
{He chatters his teeth together for several seconds, and tilts his head.}
Abraxes: You challenged me, and that means… you are not safe.
{He chatters again as the camera shifts a second time, showing Abraxes standing against the wall next to the door; inside the room, Thea can be seen playing with a couple toys, oblivious to the monster that is standing outside of the room. The camera shifts to focus back on Ulf, and he raises the microphone to try to interrupt Abraxes’s own speech.}
Ulf Hednir: Du started disse--
Abraxes: NOBODY in your life is safe.
{Ulf shakes his head. Abraxes chatters his teeth together again, and the scene behind him shifts and Abraxes is now standing in the arena.}
Abraxes: I just wanted to send you a message. You wanted to start a war…
{The titantron goes black, and all the lights in the arena go back out… Everybody can hear a whisper, as if Abraxes were standing over their shoulder; everyone in the arena, and especially Ulf, as a cloud of smoke seems to rise behind him and the camera could almost swear that they saw a glimpse of the monster standing behind Ulf.}
Abraxes: You’ve got one.
{The lights flicker several times before returning to normal, and Ulf Hednir is standing inside of the ring almost in shock over what he just saw. The fans are in disbelief over what they witnessed. Ulf takes his phone from his pocket and begins to dial a number. He just drops the microphone and leaves the ring.}
-------------------------------------
SEGMENT
JC Keeton addresses his first challenger, Nick Danger
-------------------------------------
Terri Morasco: Ladies and gentlemen I'm being told we have a special message from our World Television Champion to his first challenger. Take a look!
{The scene fades from Terri and Vasco at ringside to a still shot of the main plate of the IWF World Television Championship. JC Keeton's voice can be heard as he begins to speak as the image remains.}
JC Keeton: Nick Danger. I want you to take a look. I want you to study every ridge, every jewel, and all the intricacies in the design of this beautiful championship. Take it in and cherish this moment because right now is the best view you're ever going to get of it.
{He pauses speaking momentarily.}
JC Keeton: I hope you got it. Nick, you and everyone else watching are probably wondering why all you're seeing is the title while I speak. Why am I not showing myself holding the title? Because that would take away from what matters here. It's not about me, it's not about you. It's about this belt and continuing to make it the most important championship in IWF. I didn't go to war twice with Ulf Hednir just to have it taken from me in my first defense and no amount of tutildge from James Gilmore is going to prepare you for our match. Hell bring Papa Jimmy with you so he can have a good view of what I do to you and if he's feeling froggy I'll beat him after I beat you. I don't care that he's a two time World Champion. There's not a person in IWF that is going to take this from me and that goes all the way from the likes of Thunder Sid and Gibberg jerking the curtain to the Hall of Famers and World Champs at the top of the card like Dean Harper and Warren Kane. Dig deep, bring your best, and plan to put on the performance of your life Danger, it won't be enough.
{The image of the World Television Title remains on the screen until Sacrifice moves on.}
-------------------------------------
TAG TEAM MATCH
Team Diversity Hire vs James Gilmore and Nick Danger
-------------------------------------
{The match is very close but James Gilmore pins Nate Harris.}
-------------------------------------
SEGMENT
Warren Kane responds to the Joker in the Pack
-------------------------------------
{Warren takes a deep breath backstage.}
Warren Kane: I did not ask Caleb not to cash in Joker in the Pack. I honestly wasn't expecting that. I thought he would look forward to fighting me again. There were things said in the roulette and I assumed we would be dealing with that.
{Warren shrugs.}
Warren Kane: I can't force a man to cash in his shot at me. I don't think our friendship is fragile enough that fighting for the world title would risk it. But I'm not going to force it.
-------------------------------------
TAG TEAM MATCH
Abraxes and Tytus Rost vs Warren Suffering and Mr. Happy
-------------------------------------
{Abraxes seems to cause a scene with the way he gos after Mr Happy. He pins him for the 1 2 3.}
-------------------------------------
SEGMENT
Roberto Verona formally inducts Dean Harper into the Hall of Fame
-------------------------------------
{The segment begins with Roberto Verona standing at a podium at the top of the ramp. He smiles briefly at the audience before beginning to speak.}
Roberto Verona: Ladies and gentlemen. I am proud to say that the Imperial Wrestling Federation stands as the world’s premier professional wrestling federation, with shows and events spanning the world, leading a multimedia empire that is the envy of the Sports Entertainment World. But while I work hard to keep the IWF what it is today, I cannot do it alone. Without the dozens of men and women who dedicate their lives, put their safeties on the line, and give everything that they have to this business and this art form, the IWF simply wouldn’t exist. But while everyone in this company gives more than most viewers can ever understand… every year it is my pleasure to welcome a member of the IWF Roster into the elite. One man and one woman are selected from our roster of already exceptional individuals in recognition of their tremendous contributions to the Imperial Wrestling Federation, and this year is no exception. This year it is my pleasure to welcome one more person into the IWF’s Hall of Fame, to stand alongside legends such as Myself, Jessica Reed, Eternity, Rowan and Angel Blake. With that, ladies and gentlemen… it is my pleasure to announce 2021’s inductee from the IWF men’s Division.
{The crowd cheers as the lights go down. After a few moments for the crowd to fall quiet, the opening riffs of COUNTING BODIES LIKE SHEEP TO THE RHYTHM OF THE WAR DRUMS as Dean Harper comes down the ramp and shakes Roberto's hand, lifting the honor above his head with a smile, Warren Kane can be seen clapping.}
-------------------------------------
TAG TEAM MATCH
Warren Kane and Evan Albrecht vs Ulf Hednir and JC Keeton
-------------------------------------
{The opening introduction for “Raise Your Horns” by Amon Amarth plays over the PA system, and the crowd goes into a frenzy! The music can barely be heard over the sound of the fans. Ulf Hednir quickly shoves the curtains aside, dressed in his wolf headdress, and marches out onto the stage with his drinking horn held high over his head.}
Ulf Hednir: SKĂ…L!
Crowd: SKĂ…L!
{Ulf drinks from the drinking horn, and after, turns it upside down to show the crowd that there is nothing left. Ulf attaches the drinking horn to a strap hanging off his belt, and marches down the ramp to shake hands or high five many of the fans along the ramp; fans scramble to get as close as they can and he takes an extra moment to ensure he greets as many as he can. Ulf goes around to the right side of the ring, still greeting as many fans as he can until he reaches the timekeeper’s table, where he removes the headdress and the drinking horn, placing them on the table. He walks up to the apron and leaps up, grabbing the ropes, and leaning back to let loose a mighty howl.}
Raise your horns, raise them up to the sky,
We will drink to glory tonight!
Raise your horns for brave fallen friends,
We will meet where the beer never ends!
{The chorus plays over, and Ulf steps between the middle and top ropes before parading around the ring a bit, raising his arms from each side of the ring. He stands by and waits for the match to start.}
Terri Morasco: Ulf Hednir is the first to enter the ring! He doesn’t look like he has lost any edge since losing his belt.
Vasco Dias: He is the former TV Champion, no doubt, and there’s no denying what he’s accomplished… but right now, he’s nobody. He’s nothing. I think that tonight we’re going to see the true difference between the TV Champion and the World Champion! There’s a reason Warren is the World Champion! There’s a reason Ulf has never fought for it!
{The beat to "Born Legendary" by Emanuel Vo Williams hits.}
I crawled out the gutter
I rose to the top
My reign everlasting
I can’t be stopped
I was made for the throne
Rise up til I moan
You been waiting on a ruler
Well I’m home
{As soon as he says the word "Home" pyro explodes from the rampway as JC Keeton steps through the curtain. He makes his way to the ring bouncing in rhythm to the music. When he reaches the ring he leaps up onto the apron and steps through the ropes, He continues to sway and bounce from heel to heel as he awaits the match to start.}
Terri Morasco: JC Keeton is here!
Vasco Dias: Look at these two… they bumped fists, as they wait for the arrival of their opponents. I think Ulf still wanted to punch JC in the face, though.
{The guitars of "Devil Trigger" start to echo through the arena as Evan stomps out and raises a hand to the crowd before just outright Howling to the spotlight as he charges the Ring sliding smoothly under the bottom rope before climbing a corner rope to start taking off his jacket with a feral grin.}
Terri Morasco: This is just a match filled with Ulf’s friends--
Vasco Dias: But keep in mind what JC has said. JC and Thunderchild ARE NOT friends! They simply have a mutual friend!
Terri Morasco: Thunderchild will win him over.
{The lights go out and the snow steady beat of New Divide by Linkin Park plays and the crowd gives a good cheer for Warren Kane as he emerges from behind the curtains wearing a simple leather jacket, with his hands at his hips and a smile on his face. He then heads towards the ring, stopping to touch hands with members of the crowd before stopping in front of the ring. Closes his eyes, takes a breath before jumping up onto the apron, climbing the turnbuckle on the outside and raising his arms in the air getting a positive reaction from the crowd. The music dies down and the lights return to normal as he drops into the ring.}
Terri Morasco: And the World Champion is in the ring! This match is ready to start!
Vasco Dias: Warren Kane may want to take this win. He’s going to want to cover Ulf, make no doubt about it, because he’s going to want to send the message to the big Norseman: you can’t compete with him. You can’t. It’s just that simple.
{In the corner of JC and Ulf, the two are playing a game of rock, paper, scissors to determine who is going to be the starting man for their team; across the ring, Thunderchild and Warren try to talk it out but Thunderchild seems determined to be the one to start… Warren decides not to argue, and steps onto the apron, and Ulf seems to have won over JC, as JC gets onto the apron. With both teams situated, Blue Shoes calls for the bell--}
Vasco Dias: It looks like both of the non-champions are going to start this one.
Terri Morasco: How long have you been waiting to describe Ulf as a “non-champion”?
Vasco Dias: A long time.
{--both Thunderchild and Ulf circle the ring, and Ulf feigns forward, causing Thunderchild to jump early, and allowing Ulf to now take advantage by charging forward the rest of the way and going for a quick double leg takedown. Thunderchild fights it off, and delivers an axe handle smash to Ulf’s back, then applies a front headlock and continues with clubbing blows.}
Terri Morasco: Evan “Thunderchild” Albrecht is looking to keep himself standing, and seems to have a good handle.
Vasco Dias: He is looking strong, but he doesn’t seem to realize which way he is going. Ulf has backed him into his own corner, and JC-- yes, JC tags himself in. Blue Shoes has signaled the tag was made, and JC hits Evan with a forearm, and now Ulf is free.
{Ulf steps out onto the apron after getting out of the front headlock, and JC is in; JC begins to kick Thunderchild in the abdomen a few times, before drawing him in and delivering an uppercut. JC draws him back down, and delivers a second uppercut.}
Terri Morasco: JC said it straight this week… Thunderchild and he only share Ulf as a mutual friend, so he isn’t going to be pulling punches.
Vasco Dias: JC Keeton has a bit of an edge over Evan, and there he goes, he tags Ulf back in!
{JC steps out without incident, and Ulf comes in and has Thunderchild pinned against the corner as he begins to alternate elbows back and forth against Thunderchild. Right and left, right and left, right and left, the shots continue flying and Thunderchild seems to be dazed as he is unable to defend himself. After several more elbows, Ulf finally moves forward and Thunderchild stumbles out of the corner and Ulf takes him over with a powerslam, hooking the far leg: One! Thunderchild kicks out at one and a half!}
Vasco Dias: Evan has not been able to get too much offense in yet, and he may need to recuperate. He needs to get Warren into this match.
Terri Morasco: I think you’re right, it was just unlucky for him: he got too close to JC’s and Ulf’s corner, and they’ve taken full advantage of it, as they should.
{Ulf sits up and holds Thunderchild in place, as he’s still near enough that he can tag JC back in; JC enters, and resumes where Ulf left off, as Ulf steps out onto the apron; JC stands Thunderchild up before connecting with a dropkick! JC goes to crawl over for the cover, but Thunderchild is already sitting up. JC responds with a few pummels.}
Vasco Dias: Despite the attack, Evan is standing up-- JC is trying to maintain the control, but Thunderchild is now firing in with his own shots to JC’s abdomen. JC is trying to absorb as much of the damage as he can, but those shots are coming pretty hard, and faster. Lefts and rights to his stomach, but JC is anticipating every shot.
{JC fires for an elbow, but Thunderchild reverses! A shot from Thunderchild sends JC back a few steps, and he follows in with more and more shots until JC is against the ropes, then sends him off with an Irish-whip; as JC comes back, Thunderchild goes for a shoulder back toss, but JC telegraphs it and delivers a kick to Thunderchild. JC goes for a quick clothesline, and Thunderchild ducks; as JC comes back, Thunderchild delivers a side kick to his midsection, then turns and delivers an uppercut. JC rolls toward the corner, and Thunderchild finds himself unable to prevent it, as JC makes the tag to Ulf.}
Terri Morasco: Ulf is back in the ring!
Vasco Dias: And he charges Thunderchild, and he goes for-- he aims for the Clothesline From Valhalla! Thunderchild ducks! Ulf is already to his feet, but Thunderchild connects with a chop block, but-- he’s not stopping there! Thunderchild dives forward and tags Warren in!
{Warren comes in as Ulf is still trying to regain his footing, and delivers a swift kick to his outer knee; Warren connects with a second, and third kick, before landing a standing enzuigiri! Warren makes the quick cover: One! Ulf kicks out at one and a half! Ulf is already trying to get to his feet, but Warren is delivering some elbows to keep the pressure on him, and Ulf shoves him off… with a bit of distance, Ulf charges forward to go for a running big boot, but Warren ducks and rolls him into a schoolboy! One! Two! Ulf kicks out, and the power causes Warren to stumble toward JC; Warren connects with an enzuigiri on JC Keeton on the apron, then stands back up to measure up Ulf as he is standing up. He goes for a quick Kidd Kick!}
Vasco Dias: Kidd-- NO! Ulf ducks underneath!
Terri Morasco: Warren is fired up, and knocking both of them around, but that missed kick may give Ulf a chance to shift the momentum back around.
Vasco Dias: Ulf is to his feet at the same time as Warren, and now-- Ulf goes for The Thor Punch!
{Warren is able to avoid the Thor Punch just in the nick of time, and as Ulf turns around, he goes for a second enzuigiri; Ulf ducks, and Warren lands on his front. He tries to get up but Ulf already has a hold on him and lifts him for a back body drop! Warren keeps the momentum going and lands on his feet behind him, and the moment Ulf turns around, Warren drives a knee in and goes for an implant DDT but Ulf hits a couple quick punches to knock him back a few steps; after taking a few steps back, Warren springs forward only to be caught with Ulf lifting him up in a military press!}
Vasco Dias: There’s nowhere for Warren to run now, and this isn’t looking good!
Terri Morasco: Ulf’s power is tremendous!
Vasco Dias: He is parading around the ring, while Warren is trying to wriggle himself free.
{Just before Warren can get free, Ulf drops him forward. Warren lands on his stomach and gets up clutching his chest and stomach in pain, as Ulf then drags him up and delivers a back elbow that sends Warren stumbling backward. Ulf charges forward to go for a quick clothesline, but Warren ducks and connects with a pele!}
Terri Morasco: Another shift in momentum, but Warren is looking to get Thunderchild back into the ring. After the drop from that height, he needs to regain his breath it seems.
{Warren and Ulf both move toward their own corners, and tag at the same time. JC and Thunderchild come in, and charge toward each other! The TV Champion gains the edge by connecting with a clothesline, but Thunderchild bounces right back to his feet. A second charge toward each other: Thunderchild takes JC down with a clothesline this time! JC is already rebounding to his feet, but is met with a stiff knee from Thunderchild. JC is covering his head in a bit of pain as Thunderchild looks to close the gap, but JC suddenly leaps up and connects with another dropkick! He crawls over Thunderchild for the cover: One! Two! Thunderchild kicks out!}
Terri Morasco: JC countered with a beautiful dropkick, but Thunderchild managed to kick out.
Vasco Dias: JC can’t waste too much time, and he knows it as he stands up. Thunderchild is trying to keep himself from being beaten up by hurrying to his feet as well but JC fires with a spinning uppercut!
{JC continues forward looking to continue an assault, but Thunderchild grabs JC by the head and tosses him into the corner; he follows in with a body splash! Thunderchild leans down to pick JC up, seating him on the second rope then climbs up and delivers a few punches; Thunderchild goes up to the third and drags JC to a standing position--}
Terri Morasco: What’s he got in mind? A superplex, maybe?
Vasco Dias: Something big is all I know, but I think it’s a bad call.
{Ulf and Warren are back up on the apron and have no choice but to look on. Thunderchild is looking to get him in position for a suplex, but JC manages to shove him off! JC calls out for something really fast; at the same time, Ulf does hurry into the ring knowing this could be the closure needed… Warren gets into the ring, knowing Thunderchild is in trouble, and JC leaps off the top rope with a frog splash! He connects!}
Vasco Dias: A beautiful frog splash from JC Keeton! And he hooks the leg!
{One! Ulf is trying to cut off Warren. Two! Just as Ulf and Warren are about to collide, Warren ducks a clothesline from Ulf and stomps JC to break up the cover just before Blue Shoes can count to three. Ulf turns Warren toward him and the World Champion and Ulf begin exchanging blows with each other -- JC is using the ropes to pull himself up, as Thunderchild is trying to get up to his feet at the same time. Ulf gets the edge over the World Champion then charges at him and takes him over with a clothesline!}
Vasco Dias: Warren and Ulf are outside the ring, and Blue Shoes seems to have lost control!
Terri Morasco: That leaves the TV Champion, JC Keeton, and the Thunderchild inside the ring!
{Both of the remaining men inside of the ring are getting up at the same time, but JC is behind Thunderchild so has an edge; he attempts to hit the Ode to the Outlaw! THUNDERCHILD DODGES! Thunderchild quickly rolls JC up, going to steal the victory: One! Two! JC kicks out at two and a half!}
Terri Morasco: Thunderchild almost stole that one! JC is in shock!
Vasco Dias: Meanwhile, Ulf and Warren are still exchanging blows but it looks like Warren is trying to dodge as many as he can and is fighting more of a reversal. Blue Shoes looks like he wants to regain control and he is now more concerned with them…
{JC, wide-eyed, gets up to his feet as Thunderchild does at the same time. Thunderchild is the first to strike trying to pull JC in for a short-arm clothesline, but JC ducks under it and gets Thunderchild in a belly-to-back position as he charges him forward and is looking for a German Suplex -- but Thunderchild continues forward and hooks his arms around the top rope, but JC doesn’t let go and continues to go for the suplex! Thunderchild resists.}
Vasco Dias: Blue Shoes is going out to break the two up, it seems.
Terri Morasco: And Thunderchild is throwing some elbows now at JC!
Vasco Dias: Yeah, those are some vicious elbows! JC is too focused trying to complete the move he’s unable to defend himself, and three elbows… JC is trying to shake it off, he delivers his own elbow and is sending him across the ring with an Irish-whip--
{JC rushes to the middle of the ring, and just as he and Thunderchild are about to collide, JC hits a Jumping Double Footstomp!}
Vasco Dias: What air! JC Keeton is covering, but Blue Shoes is still outside getting between Ulf and Warren-- you better get back into the ring, Blue Shoes!
Terri Morasco: Three! Four! Five! The impact puts Thunderchild out of it, but JC doesn’t see what’s happening. I think-- yeah, it looks like JC is finally seeing what’s happening.
{JC gets up and looks aggravated that Blue Shoes had not counted, and is calling out to them. Meanwhile, Warren and Ulf are finally heading back to their respective corners as Blue Shoes gets into the ring -- JC is still frustrated, but tries to shake it off, and before he can turn around, Thunderchild rolls him up into a schoolboy! Blue Shoes makes the count: One! Two! JC kicks out just before three! JC is the first to his feet, and goes in for a quick running knee but Thunderchild avoids it, and tries to roll backward with him getting him into a single leg crab but JC is too close to the ropes and manages to tag Ulf in -- Thunderchild doesn’t notice.}
Vasco Dias: Ulf is the legal man, but Thunderchild isn’t letting go. He doesn’t know. Ulf is hitting the ropes, and-- yeah, it looks like Thunderchild sees him!
Terri Morasco: Warren trying to get into the ring now, knowing what’s coming--
{Ulf rebounds off the ropes and comes back landing CRACK THE SKY! THE THOR PUNCH! And Thunderchild goes down! Warren charges at Ulf, and looks to keep him distracted long enough, but Ulf takes him over the ropes with a shoulder back toss that sends him to the outside! Warren lands hard! Ulf covers Thunderchild as JC rolls out of the ring to ensure that Warren isn’t gonna be able to reach in to break up the cover: One! Two! THREE!}
Terri Morasco: Ulf and JC win! They defeated Warren Kane and Evan “Thunderchild” Albrecht in what was a rollercoaster!
Vasco Dias: Well it shows that JC and Ulf are still friends, on the same page, and no hard feelings.
Alison Valance: Your winners! By way of PIN FALL! ULF HEDNIR! AND JC KEETON!!!!!
{“Raise Your Horns” by Amon Amarth is playing over the PA as Ulf raises his arms in the air in victory, and JC Keeton joins him in the ring after retrieving the championship. Blue Shoes holds both of their arms in the air as the winners of the match as the crowd is cheering; Warren gets to his feet outside of the ring and kind of shrugs it off, as Ulf turns his attention toward him and makes a gesture suggesting that he’s going to go after the World Championship. Warren welcomes the challenge.}
Vasco Dias: That’s all the time that we have for the night, folks! Thank you for tuning in to Sacrifice, and we are going to see you all here at the same time, same place, next week!
Terri Morasco: Goodnight, everybody!
