Once again it is time for another history making event from TNA as Sacrifice transitions from the video package into a live shot of the impact zone in Orlando Florida. The audience is packed in and full of excitement. The Impact Zone has been designed in PPV fashion with Sacrifice banners hanging down from the roof top. The camera moves around to show some of the fans holding signs such as “We Want Hogan”, “FORTUNE > TNA”, “Anderson Suxs” and even “SMARK” throughout the audience. After showing the enthusiastic crowd in the arena TNA’s presentation moves over to the announce table where Mike Tenay and Don West will be calling all of the action for Sacrifice tonight.
Mike Tenay: It is time ladies and gentleman for TNA to once again enter your homes live on pay per view. It’s a night about pushing yourself to the limit for our TNA superstars. Tonight is Sacrifice and joining me here to call all the action is my long-time co-host Don West. We are here to call all the incredible action tonight and like always I’m positive it is going to deliver.
Don West: Excitement is in the air. The fans are all packed in and it’s because of times like these. It’s because once again Don West is back on pay per view for another event presented by Don West Promotions in conjunction with TNA to present Sacrifice. With that said I can’t wait to see my man Mr Anderson capture the TNA World Heavyweight Championship for the first time ever. It’s a night of change Tenay and I can’t wait.
Mike Tenay: Well as my partner has already alluded to AJ Styles will defend his TNA World Heavyweight Championship against the up and coming Mr Anderson in tonight’s main event. It’s the match up that has the entire wrestling world talking about TNA and the result of that match. So much has been said during the build-up to this contest and finally we will get to see how things unfold when all the talk is put to an end. Tonight that match comes down to nothing but skill inside of the ring and how far someone will push to get the most converted prize in professional wrestling.
Don West: This is why I love being here on pay per view Tenay, it’s live and anything can happen. You can’t go online and find out the results of the matches, you have to be here or watching this at home live. It’s the most exciting form of entertainment in the world and with everything we have on the card tonight, especially AJ Styles and Mr Anderson, I’m sure it will deliver just like it does every other time.
Mike Tenay: Let’s not undersell the other matches on the card as we will see the pay per view return of ‘Instant Classic’ Christian Cage when he teams with Jeff Hardy to face off against Kurt Angle and Samoa Joe. It’s being billed as the blockbuster tag team match of the year and it is easy to see why. These four men all have World Championships under their belt and for me this is one of the most intriguing matches of the night because of all the different factors going into it.
Don West: Of course it is. Any time you have Christian Cage inside of the ring you know it is a must see. I mean, it’s the instant classic of professional wrestling Tenay. The real question is can Samoa Joe and Kurt Angle get along to defeat the team of Hardy and Cage. We already saw Joe and Angle lose this past week to British Invasion and that was when they seemed to be on equal ground. Now it seems that Samoa Joe has no intention of working with Angle at all.
Mike Tenay: It sure going to be a crazy night ladies and gentleman and with that said it is time to go to the ring where Jeremy Borash is standing by for the first contest of the night. Don, are you ready?
Don West: Let’s get this show on the road already Tenay!
Excitement fills the air as the camera shifts to the front view of the ring where Jeremy Borash stands holding a microphone. Borash takes a deep breath and then begins.
Jeremy Borash: Ladies and gentleman it is time for your opening contest of Sacrifice. It is scheduled for one fall… and is for the X DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP!
*Rock Superstar*
The Impact Zone gives a warm reception to one of the most exciting competitors in TNA, the one and only, Amazing Red. The man with the Mohawk runs out onto the top of the stage and begins to jump up and down. Full of anticipation Red sticks his arms out and runs down to the ring while touching the hands of some of the lucky fans. Red glides through the ring ropes, quickly rolls forward and nips up onto his feet before climbing onto the turnbuckle and spreading his arms wide open.
Jeremy Borash: Introducing first the challenger… from Brooklyn, New York, weighing in tonight at one hundred and fifty pounds… AMAZING RED!
Don West: Red better not think that all this playing to the crowd stuff is going to win him the title tonight. He’s not facing some chump, he’s facing the champion. Kazarian isn’t someone you take lightly and I think Red believes that this little fairy tale ride he is on will lead him to the title and all its glory. Red better aim up tonight if he wants any chance at hanging with Kazarian.
Mike Tenay: I don’t think Red is taking anyone lightly Don, it’s about giving the fans the experience. Red has been a roll the past few weeks and I could very well see him become the new X Division Champion.
Don West: Don’t say such things. Could you imagine what TNA would be like if Kazarian lost the title? It wouldn’t be the same.
Mike Tenay: Some might say it would be better.
Don West: Idiots, complete idiots would be the only people to say that Tenay.
Red then jumps down from the turnbuckle and makes his way into the middle of the ring. With the focus still on him Red motions to his waist and makes the championship outline. While on camera Red can be seen mouthing “this is my time, I’m taking that title home with me” as he awaits the arrival of Kazarian. The music stops for Red but no appearance by Kazarian follows. The stage is empty and this leaves Red wondering what is happening. The challenger looks around, making sure that Kaz doesn’t sneak up, but he finds no reason to believe that an attack is coming. Is Kazarian late or is he playing mind games with Red…
“FORTUNE FOUR”
*Fortune 4*
It would seem that Kazarian was playing mind games as he now makes his entrance. With the title on the line tonight Kazarian has some back up in the form of ‘Nature Boy’ Ric Flair being by his side and he will be at ringside during this contest. Unlike in the past tonight Kazarian is a little more aggressive and he wastes no time in heading down to the ring. Kaz unclips the title belt, passes it to Flair and enters the ring by stepping up and steps and through the ropes. Champion and challenger share the ring for the first time since two weeks ago on Impact and things are sure to explode soon enough.
Jeremy Borash: And from Anaheim, California, weighing in tonight at two hundred and fifteen pounds, representing Fortune, he is the reigning and defending X Division Champion… KAZ-AR-I-AN!
Mike Tenay: Go on Don, tell us all about how good Kazarian is and how he’s the future of TNA. I’m sure you’re just chopping at the bit to get going about him.
Don West: Mike, I’m shocked! I am an unbiased commentator and a true professional. I would never tell you about the countless hours Kazarian has put in to get in the physical shape he has. I would not talk about how Ric Flair has done an amazing job at crafting Kazarian into a lethal weapon in the X Division. I find it a little insulting that you, Mr Professor, would accuse me of sucking up to the legendary group known as Fortune.
Mike Tenay: Well even with my partner blinded by Fortune, I think it is clear that Kazarian does have a challenge here tonight. He’s been unable to beat Amazing Red leading up to this event and he was pinned by the challenger just two weeks ago during the main event of Impact in what I called an upset because of the success of Kazarian as of late. I think this is going to be a much closer contest then what you are making it out to seem Don.
Don West: What you fail to mention Tenay is that Ric Flair will be at ringside during this contest. He isn’t going to allow Red to leave this building with the title. You can try and keep him under control but nobody can stop Ric Flair. He’s the dirtiest player in the game for a reason.
The official has to get in between Kaz and Red becomes the champion lunges forward with an air swing to get some of his challenger. The official holds Kaz back until he cools down and steps back with Ric Flair. The X Division Championship is handed from Flair to the official and it is held up high in the air. Slowly the official turns around and shows the crowd what these two men will be fighting over tonight. The big red X shines bright against the lights before being handed to Jeremy Borash who exits out of the ring with the title in hand. Are you ready? With Borash now on the outside, the official looks to Amazing Red and asks if he is ready to which he replies yes, the same is done with Kazarian and simply nods. Everything is set and the official signals for the bell and the start of the opening contest!
X Division Championship Match:
X Division Champion Kazarian v. Amazing Red
The night has truly begun and the crowd are so excited to finally have this match underway. With the bell sounding in the background Kazarian and Amazing Red both step forward and are ready for the battle that awaits them. To start Kazarian throws a low kick to try and catch Red standing but the high flyer isn’t standing in any one position for too long tonight. Kazarian comes forward and tries to get a hold of Red but the challenger steps back and fires off a kick with strikes Kazarian sharply in the side of the arm. It’s a stinger as Kazarian steps backward but he gets no time to recovery as Amazing Red pounces forward like a cat. Up in the air goes Red and he strikes hard with a forearm to send Kazarian back into the ropes. In comes the challenger – KAZARIAN COUNTERS- up goes Red over the top rope – HIS FOOT MISSES THE APRON AND HE SLIPS DOWN TO THE FLOOR. Unfortunately Red’s game changing save he pulled off on Impact failed to work tonight and he now finds himself on the outside of the ring and hurt. After successfully pulling off his counter Kazarian slides to the outside of the ring and goes right after Red. Kazarian lays in a few kicks to the body before grabbing Red by the head and dragging him over to the apron of the ring. One… Two… the official begins to count inside the ring and he has a count of ten to work with before he has to end the match. With the count only at two Kazarian isn’t worried about it and he punches Red in the head while pushing him against the hard apron. Kazarian continues to strike as the count heightens: Three… Four… Five…
The count is getting to the final part of ten and now Kazarian looks toward Flair for some advice. This little lapse in offense by Kaz allows Red to push the champion away. Red then comes forward, knees Kaz in the stomach, back peddles into the ring to break the count, grab hold of the top rope – AND RED LAUNCHES HIMSELF OVER THE TOP ROPE – NO – HE FAKES AND LANDS SAFELY ON THE APRON OF THE RING. Kaz however reacts early and he braces for impact thinking Red is crashing down on top of him. With Red safely on the apron Flair can be heard screaming at the top of his lungs for Kazarian to move but he must not have heard him because Kaz does not move. Red pulls back on the rope and then pushes up… BACK FLIPPING ONTO KAZARIAN AND IT TAKES BOTH MEN OUT! The crowd is cheering very loudly as both men are down outside of the ring with the official checking them both out. As he does this Ric Flair stumbles over to Kazarian and tries to lift him back up but the official orders him to stop. This shocks Flair and he yells “DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM? I’M THE NATURE BOY, THE SIXTY MINUTE MAN BABY!” to which the official simply shakes his head. The official then goes back into the ring and begins the count.
One… Two… Three – Red begins to push himself up off the ground. He manages to gather his thoughts and begin to make his way back into the ring. Just a few moments later Kazarian does the same and at a count of five both men are back into the ring for the first time since the start of the contest which already seems like an age ago. Both men are back to their feet and Red pushes forward quickly. Strong forearm by Red sends Kaz stepping backward – Red builds up some speed by running into the ropes – but Kazarian ducks a clothesline attempt and lifts Red up off his feet and drops him backward. Kazarian goes right for the cover off the counter: One… Two… kick out by Red. Still in the early stages of this match Kazarian is able to pounce back into the attack with some hard punches to the back of the head. The champion pulls Red to his feet before sending him across into the ropes with an Irish whip. Red shoots across… comes flying back… and nearly has his head taken off by a jumping spin kick by Kazarian. Perhaps it is ignorance or maybe it’s just plain arrogance but for whatever reason Kazarian doesn’t go for the cover. With a smug look on his face Kaz steps back, points out to the crowd, glances over to Flair and then he begins to strut just like ‘Naitch’ does. Flair loves what he is seeing and the legend begins to strut on the outside of the ring in true ‘Naitch’ style. After finishing his little strut Kaz goes delivers a few strikes to the back of Red, who at this point, is up to a vertical base. What started out as only a few shots has now become a frenzy of strikes. These powerful shots by Kazarian drop Red down to one knee. Kazarian continues to hammer away until Red finds himself hanging across the second rope. The break is forced and Kaz steps back for the moment but quickly rushes forward and… SLINGS HIMSELF OVER THE TOP ROPE… on the way down Kazarian delivers a devastating leg drop in mid-air with the ring rope across the throat of Amazing Red.
Red’s throat is strangled by the second rope as the weight of Kazarian comes crashing down in amazing fashion. The challenger remains with hanging across the second rope from inside the ring. On the outside of the ring Kazarian brushes back his long black hair before ever so slowly walking over to the ring apron and nailing Red with a big punch to the head. Red falls back off the middle rope as Kaz gloats on the outside. With the advantage in this match Kaz is very arrogant and so is Ric Flair. Both men have huge grins on their faces and as Kaz heads onto the apron everything is going his way. With both hands Kaz leans through the middle rope and grabs Red by the head. He attempts to pull Red through into a DDT position but the challenger fights out of it. Red pushes away from Kaz… rolls away from the champion… regains his footing… rushes forward and drives a flying knee into the skull of Kazarian. Somehow Kazarian does not fall but he manages to hold onto the top rope and keep himself dangling on the apron. Just because Kaz hasn’t fallen doesn’t mean he is safe because Amazing Red fires up and rushes forward again with a flying forearm to the face. The sound of the forearm hitting the face of Kazarian echoes throughout the arena tonight but somehow Kazarian still manages to hold on. With built up frustration and rage the challenger runs toward the turnbuckle – JUMPS BACKWARD – AND CONNECTS WITH AN ENZUIGIRI!
Big move from Red and now Kazarian finds himself slung across the top rope. The crowd begins to cheer as Red looks around with wide eyes. Like kid in a candy store Red points to Kaz and the crowd go up. Even with all the hard head shots Red is able to climb up onto the top rope and keep his footing. He stands up straight on the top rope and jumps forward… Red is able to get onto the neck of Kazarian as he is flipping and twist it enough that he dislodges the champion from the top rope and executes a tremendous neckbreaker combination in mid-air. The crowd is stunned to say the least and both men are now down. Well only for a moment as Red begins to crawl, unable to stand after his back smacked the canvas in an awkward position. Absolutely in a hell of a lot of pain Red still manages to turn Kazarian over for a cover: One… Two… Kazarian gets the shoulder of the mat!
Some are in shock, some are annoyed, but Kazarian did just in fact kick out. One man who is overly thrilled is Ric Flair on the outside of the ring. ‘Naitch’ watches on and his heart rate rose to a new level when the official struck the mat for a second time. Luckily Kazarian still has something to give as he makes his way to his vertical base. The champion leans against the turnbuckle to gather his thoughts… but he doesn’t get long as Amazing Red is on the attack. Quickly Red comes in with a big splash – but it misses – Kazarian rolls out of the way! Smart thinking by the champion for the moment to roll out of the corner but he doesn’t take into account that Red has landed caught himself in the corner and he comes back with a jumping thrust kick to the head of Kazarian. Down goes Kazarian once again and Red makes the cover after stumbling over on his leg: One… Two… another kick out by Kazarian to keep things alive.
The Champion is still fighting to keep his title and no kick to the head is going to keep this man down. With Kazarian down and in a prone position Red, whilst rubbing his lower back with his left hand, grabs Kaz by the arm and slings him into the ropes. Kaz doesn’t have his senses back yet but the champion is smart enough to grab onto the top rope when he is slung by Red. Irritated Red comes forward but is struck with a wild boot by Kazarian. The boot was a last ditch effort to stop Red’s offense and it has payed off. Stumbling forward Kazarian kicks Red in the mid-section before turning him around and delivering a German suplex right in the middle of the ring. The problems in the lower back of Red could be getting worse as Kazarian looks to target the weak spot of his challenger. Unlike past attempts Kazarian doesn’t break his grip after hitting the suplex instead Kaz keeps his hands tied around the waist of Red. The champion pops his hips and rolls over and gets back up. Deep breath by Kazarian… before driving Amazing Red into the canvas with another German suplex. The champion has set his target and will now work on it for however long it takes to gain victory and retain his title. The process continues as Kazarian rolls over once again. He is visibly wore down from executing these Germans but that is what it will take to keep the title tonight. Flair remains on the outside screaming for Kazarian to do another but Kaz is finding it hard to stand at this point. Both champion and challenger are putting everything into this match. Kaz has his hands locked around the waist of Amazing Red and he goes for another suplex… but Red rolls forward and breaks the grip!
Here comes Amazing Red! With the grip broken Red pulls himself up using the ropes and throws a wild right hand which connects with nothing but air. Kazarian is across the ring and needs to use the ropes also. Red pushes forward and strikes with multiple kicks to the legs. Kaz can’t cover up from the sharp kicks from Red and he begins to crumble down onto his knees. The kicks are so powerful even from Red who has sustained a ridiculous amount of punishment tonight. Fighting with everything on the line Red pushes is going nuts. Kazarian is out on his feet! He’s down on his knees! After firing out sharp kicks to the legs and the body of Kazarian the offence of Red stops. He slows down and comes to a stop as Kazarian looks up with dazed eyes. Red then pears around at the crowd, slaps his right leg and then strikes Kazarian in the head! Down the champion! Is this the moment? Red hooks both legs: One… Two… Three… NO, KICK OUT BY KAZARIAN!
“I thought that was it Tenay.”
“Amazing Red was just seconds away from winning the title Don. Just seconds away from upsetting Fortune and sending a message to the entire group.”
“Don’t say stupid things like that. Fortune can’t lose!”
Stunning contest so far as Kazarian will not give up. The kick straight to the head wasn’t enough to keep him down. The look on Red’s face is one of disbelief at what he has just seen. He had Kazarian in the perfect position but it wasn’t enough. Now Red acts as quick as he can by pulling Kaz up to his feet. It’s a struggle but Red manages to get it done. He then places Kazarian’s head in between his arm and his body. Red tugs at the head of Kazarian and struggles until he is over near the corner. With one hand on the rope Red pulls himself onto the top rope. Something big is coming now as Red wraps his other arm around the throat of Kazarian… before jumping off looking for the DDT… but Kazarian spins out of the grip and turns it into a modified side slam. Brilliant counter by Kazarian and he goes into the cover: One… Two… shoulder is off the mat by Red. The will in both men is incredible tonight and nothing seems to be able to put either man away. With Flair yelling at him on the outside Kazarian moves in for the kill. The champion grabs Red from behind and wraps his arm around the front of the neck to make the gap between the head and the shoulder bigger. Kaz then slaps that area before driving vicious elbows into the collarbone. Kazarian is firing away with the elbows and can be heard yelling “give up! Just quit.” With the elbows working effectively Kazarian changes his position by moving to the front of Red with his arms wrapped around the head. He begins to pull Red off the canvas and lifts him up with a suplex. It’s a delayed version of the suplex to add insult to injury now as Kazarian holds Red up high. The crowd is counting and when they hit five Kazarian drops Red hard with the suplex which is borderline brainbuster. Another cover by Kazarian: One… Two… FOOT ON THE ROPE!
Oh hell yeah brother, a foot on the rope, this match will continue. You can imagine the look on Flair’s face as he throws off his jacket. The great man is shaking his fist in the air and screaming at the official. Just as stunned as Flair it would seem Kazarian is just the same. He can’t believe it. The official begins to feel the heat from Kazarian as he gets in his face. Nothing the official says is good enough for Kazarian because he thinks he really did win with that move. All of this talking isn’t doing any good for Kazarian as he allows Red to get back to his feet and in comes Red for the roll up: One… Two… Kazarian slips out of the roll up.
Off the roll up Red ducks a clothesline attempt by Kaz and kicks him in the mid-section. Red quickly pulls Kazarian into the middle of his legs and attempts CODE RED – NO – KAZARIAN STRUGGLES OUT – PUSHES AMAZING RED INTO ROPES AND THEN STRIKES WITH A HIGH KICK. With both hands Kazarian throws Red across into the turnbuckle before running over and connecting with a clothesline. Still with his arm wrapped around the neck Kazarian tries to flip backward… BUT RED COUNTERS – ELBOWS TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD – KAZARIAN DOWN TO ONE KNEE! Red turns and bounces from the second rope backward… dropkick by Kazarian to the mid-section of Red! Kazarian does well to counter and now he lifts Red up and onto the top turnbuckle. They struggle but a few strikes from Kazarian keeps control with him. Kazarian follows up with consecutive chops in honour of ‘Naitch’. Now Kaz begins to climb the turnbuckle by placing his feet on the first rope to start. With his hand around the head of Red for leverage Kazarian moves up to the second rope. He’s in perfect position as Kazarian has his arms around the head and his feet in a stable stance. Kazarian lifts… but can’t get Red up! Red is fighting… he’s doing everything he can… striking… head-butts… even biting just to save himself. It begins to work as Kazarian loses his position and the champion stumbles off the rope and goes across the ring. The official checks on Red… allowing Ric Flair to slide the X Division Championship to Kazarian.
Nobody else can see what is happening. Quickly Flair runs around the ring and climbs onto the apron. The official begins to argue with Flair, unaware of the situation unfolding. Red thinks he’s in control but he isn’t. Red spots Kaz moving toward him with his back facing the challenger. Instinctively Red dives forward – BAM!! KAZARIAN SMACKS RED WITH THE TITLE WHEN HE WAS IN THE AIR. RED IS OUT COLD AND KAZARIAN THROWS THE TITLE OUT OF THE RING WITHOUT THE OFFICIAL SEEING IT! With the plan finished Flair steps down from the apron and the official turns around to see the innocent scene of Kazarian crawling toward Red. Acting like never before Kazarian turns Red over and he hooks the leg: One… Two… Three!
WINNER AND STILL X DIVISION CHAMPION: KAZARIAN VIA PINFALL AT 13:54
*Fortune 4*
Jeremy Borash: Here is your winner… AND STILL TNA X DIVISION CHAMPION… KAZARIAN!!
Everyone is pissed at the decision and rightfully so. Kazarian has cheated to keep the title tonight but the official never saw the dirt deed. The plan was executed perfectly by Ric Flair and Kazarian and the two members of Fortune embrace on the outside of the ring. They hug it out on the entrance ramp side of the arena. Kazarian can be heard yelling “I won! I did it, you all thought it was over but I find a way to win!” It’s an image that will be burnt into the history of TNA and the X Division as Kazarian holds his dearly loved title high in the air while Red lays unconscious inside the ring. Kazarian looks even more smug then he did before the match started but he must know he was in a war tonight.
Don West: YES! YES! YES! The greatest X Division Champion of all time did it again. Just like he’s done it time and time before Kazarian remains champion. After an incredible contest Kazarian defeats Amazing Red in a contest that I’m sure will go down in the history of TNA. But once again let me remind you that Kazarian wins! Kaz wins!
Mike Tenay: How can you support that?
Don West: Support what? Kazarian won the match, I love winners.
Mike Tenay: He used the title belt illegally. Kazarian didn’t win the match at all. He cheated and the official didn’t see what was going on. Ric Flair shouldn’t have been at ringside in the first place. It should have been one on one with no members of Fortune at ringside. It’s unfair to anyone who faces one of them in a match because it becomes a handicap match. I hope that Eric Bischoff or Hulk Hogan make a decision about this before our main event tonight or we could see this type of stuff in our main event.
Don West: Are you suggesting we discriminate against Fortune? It’s 2010 Tenay, not 1963. Fortune is allowed to do what they want. Anyone can be at ringside and Red should have gotten some friends to be at ringside. The problem with that is he doesn’t have any friends. He didn’t have backup and now he doesn’t have a title. Sucks to be him.
Mike Tenay: Even though my partner seems to be obsessed with Fortune allow me to be the cooler head. What happened tonight is an example of what has been happening for months in TNA. Fortune has been running around ruining some brilliant matches and leaving a sour taste in the mouth of me and the fans. Something needs to be done. Someone needs to step up and take Fortune on. I hope that tonight AJ Styles is the man to set things straight for TNA. I’m sick of seeing Fortune running around doing their thing and no following the rules. They’ll destroy this company if something isn’t done.
Don West: Don’t let your personal problems with the competitors cloud your judgment Tenay. Be professional, be like me.
Mike Tenay: Someone take me now.
The title belt hangs down from the shoulder of Kazarian until Flair places his hands on the gold. Kazarian looks a little confused at why Flair is touching his title but soon realises that ‘Naitch’ is putting it around his waist. This man reeks of arrogance tonight, his spirits are higher than ever before and Kazarian could very well be on his way to being one of the top X Division Champions of all time. Inside the ring Amazing Red is sitting up with his head in his hands. Shattered at what has happened tonight Red can’t bear to look at his fans. With Red mentally broken inside the ring and a cocky champion at the top of the stage we begin to fade away…
