Hell in a Cell
Bishop vs. Gravedigger
Bishop vs. Gravedigger
"Invasion (Goldberg)" by Chris Poulet plays and out from the back walks Bishop along with his manager Mr. Armstrong. Bishop throws his arms up as he looks around at the crowd. He walks down the ramp and climbs into the ring.
Adilene Floyd: Making his way to the ring, from Miami, Florida, weighing in at 320 pounds, he is "The Great Destroyer" BISHOP!!
Billy: THE GREAT DESTROYER!! He tried his best to take Gravedigger out last week on Clash in the main event.
Chris Avery: Yeah, but D-Day saved Gravedigger from a Book of Bishop. Looks like no one is going to be able to save him tonight though.
Billy: Well, not unless that Chupacabra eats the side of the cage.
The lights go out. They stay off for about 10 seconds before "Change" by Deftones starts playing throughout the arena. All of a sudden a roar can be heard coming from the back.
Billy: What the hell was that?
Chris Avery: I don’t know, but that sounded like an animal!
A spotlight hits the entryway and out from the back walks a huge Chupacabra with Gravedigger seated in a saddle on its back, looking all majestic and shit.
Billy: WHAT??! Is that a Chupacabra?!
Chris Avery: It is! It’s one of them from the Rey de Mexico tournaments featured in another company.
Billy: I can’t believe he’s riding one out here.
Gravedigger coaxes the Chupacabra down the ramp, it turns and snaps at a couple of the MS-13 members who are following Gravedigger down the ramp.
Adilene Floyd: Making his way to the ring from Phoenix, Arizona, weighing in at 258 pounds, he is "The Epitome of Hardcore" GRAVEDIGGER!!
Chris Avery: Well this is Evolution and as we’ve already seen tonight there have been some extravagant entrances!
Even Bishop eyes it warily across the ringside area. Gravedigger stops the Chupacabra at the bottom of the ramp and carefully climbs off of it. He ties it off at the guardrail like it’s a horse. Nearby fans retreat a good fifty feet out into the aisles to stay away from it.
Billy: Well SHITFIRE, I’ve seen everything! Anyway, folks, here is one of our illustrious leaders of Action Wrestling, Gravedigger! We saw him in the ring last week for the first time since January.
Chris Avery: Yeah, he refused to get too involved in the match as he wanted to save everything for tonight here in the Hell in a Cell.
The referee is ushering both men to the ring as the Cell is slowly lowered to the ground. The Chupacabra snaps at the Cell and roars a time or two, scaring nearby fans. Gravedigger chuckles as he looks over his shoulder at the beast. He turns back to Bishop who is rubbing his hands together, sneering at Gravedigger across the ringside area.
The referee signals for the bell to begin the match.
A whole minute passes by with neither man budging an inch as the crowd is going crazy. Both men are staring each other down.
Billy: THIS IS INTENSE!!
Chris Avery: This is the culmination of 15 years of their rivalry. They’ve known each other for longer than 15 years, but this is nearly 15 years to the day since their first Hell In A Cell confrontation. September 21, 2003 when Gravedigger defeated him the first time and then last summer he defeated him in a second Hell In A Cell match.
Billy: What’s this? Gravedigger is making the first move. He climbs in the ring, Bishop not taking his eyes off of him.
Gravedigger stands in the center and taunts Bishop, yelling at him to get in the ring. Bishop grins and shakes his head in disbelief. He slowly and cautiously pulls himself up onto the apron. He does the same stepping into the ring. He walks over and receives a slap right across the face from Gravedigger.
Bishop roars out and the two start trading hard rights and lefts, rocking each other, shaking the very foundation of the building itself. Bishop gets the upper hand and backs Gravedigger into the ropes and hits him with a massive clothesline over the top rope. Gravedigger displays great athleticism by landing on his feet at ringside.
Gravedigger walks around the ringside area as it’s now Bishop’s turn to coax Gravedigger into the ring. Gravedigger pulls himself up onto the apron and steps inside. Bishop rushes him but Gravedigger ducks a clothesline, bounces off the far ropes and hits a big boot on Bishop, but it just staggers him back. Gravedigger runs off the ropes and hits a second one. This one knocks Bishop through the ropes and to the outside!
Billy: Gravedigger wisely not following Bishop to the outside.
Chris Avery: He may be the Epitome of Hardcore, but Gravedigger plays the long game and knows the best strategy here.
Bishop goes to get up at ringside and Gravedigger runs across the ring and dives through the ropes, nailing Bishop with a flying forearm, slamming Bishop against the side of the cage head first as a result.
Billy: Wow! What a move! He’s lucky that Bishop wasn’t looking or that could have been a face full of cage for the boss!
Gravedigger stomps away at Bishop for a few seconds and then gets down beside Bishop and pounds away at him. Gravedigger yells at Bishop “YOU WANTED THIS” before hitting him with a few more rights.
Gravedigger finally lets Bishop get to his feet and whips Bishop across the ringside area, but Bishop reverses, sending Gravedigger right into the side of the cell. Gravedigger holds his back and just manages to sidestep out of the way when he sees Bishop charging in. Gravedigger puts his hand on Bishop’s head as he passes by giving some extra power to Bishop’s own charge, sending him hard into the side of the cell.
Gravedigger cackles and taunts the fans who boo the man that is hurting their hometown hero. Gravedigger viciously stomps away at Bishop and taunts him some more. Gravedigger reaches down to pick up Bishop, but Bishop low blows Gravedigger. Gravedigger falls to the ground.
Billy: Oh come on! He can’t do that!
Chris Avery: Why? Because he’s black?
Billy: No! That’s against the rules!
Chris Avery: Why? Because he’s bl--
Billy: SHUT UP!
Chris Avery: There are no rules in Hell in a Cell!!
Bishop takes a moment to take a breather and then gets up along with Gravedigger and the two start trading blows at ringside with huge rights and lefts. Bishop finally switches things up with a huge knee to the midsection of Gravedigger and he takes Gravedigger and slams him headfirst into the side of the cell. He slams Gravedigger’s head into the side of it again. Gravedigger pokes Bishop in the eye and tries to slam his head into the side of the cell, but Bishop blocks it with his foot and slams Gravedigger into it a third time.
Bishop hits Gravedigger with a series of uppercuts and then irish whips him right into the ringpost. Gravedigger bounces off of it and lands on the mat.
Chris Avery: I have a feeling this match is not going to be very technical or have any real pure wrestling.
Billy: Hell no it ain’t! When you’ve got 15 years of rivalry between you, you know it ain’t gonna be pretty!
Bishop makes his way around to where Gravedigger is and runs at him hitting a big boot to the side of Gravedigger’s head as he gets up to one knee. Bishop takes the opportunity to taunt Gravedigger yelling out “IT’S MY TIME! I AM THE GREAT DESTROYER!!”
Gravedigger uses the apron to start to get up but Bishop hits a huge right in the ribcage of Gravedigger who yells out, holding his ribs. Bishop grabs Gravedigger and rolls him back into the ring. Bishop follows Gravedigger inside and whips him across the ring. Bishop hits another big boot. Bishop bounces off the ropes and hits a big leg drop in the center of the ring.
Billy: Bishop actually going for the cover this early in the match!
Chris Avery: 1...NO! Not even a 2 count! The ref was counting so slowly!
Billy: What do you mean? He could have done a fast count and Gravedigger still would have kicked out!
Bishop hits a vertical suplex. He bounces off the ropes, going for a running body splash but Gravedigger rolls out of the way, causing Bishop to miss. Gravedigger is up and waits for Bishop to get to his feet and hits a clothesline. Bishop is back up and Gravedigger hits a second clothesline. Instead of a third clothesline, Gravedigger puts his whole body into it and hits a clothesline from hell!!
Chris Avery: GRAVEMARKER! This may not be a finisher but this move has ended many matches!
Billy: Gravedigger goes for the pin.
1...NO! Bishop kicks out with authority.
Chris Avery: It’s going to take a lot more than a clothesline to put away The Great Destroyer!
Gravedigger whips Bishop across the ring, but Bishop reverses it and runs at Gravedigger and nails him with a HUGE clothesline as he bounces back, sending Gravedigger flipping over the top rope and to the outside. The crowd goes insane.
Billy: SHITFIRE!! He just answered back from that Gravemarker with an almost identical move!
Chris Avery: He about took the boss’ damn head off with that one! Uh oh, Bishop is going back outside.
Gravedigger uses the cell to pull himself to his feet and looks over just as Bishop is running at him full steam across the ringside area. He doesn’t have time to step out of the way this time as Bishop crushes Gravedigger against the side of the cell with an avalanche!
Billy: Dear God he just crushed Gravedigger!
Bishop looks down at Gravedigger and points at the ring yelling “THAT’S MY RING!” and then gestures to the arena yelling “THIS IS MY HOUSE!”
Bishop pulls Gravedigger to his feet and scoops him up and hits a back breaker on those hurt ribs not once, but twice. He then ragdoll tosses Gravedigger at the side of the cage.
Chris Avery: What power! Gravedigger is no small man and Bishop just did two backbreakers and then tossed Gravedigger to the side like he weighed nothing!
Bishop goes to pick up Gravedigger, but Gravedigger low blows Bishop, returning the favor from earlier. The crowd boos as Bishop gets to one knee. Gravedigger takes a few steps back and then runs at Bishop, driving a knee into the side of his head. Gravedigger pulls Bishop to his feet and yells out as he powers Bishop up into a body slam position but instead slams Bishop against the side of the cell. He does it a second time and goes to do it a third time but just drops Bishop to the ground, holding that hurt ribcage.
Billy: Man that was a smart move earlier with Bishop focusing on Gravedigger’s ribs.
Chris Avery: Yeah, that would hurt anyone really, but a powerhouse like Gravedigger needs to be at 100% to deliver most of his moves!
Gravedigger gets Bishop to his feet and leads him over near the cell door. Bishop elbows Gravedigger in the head, but Gravedigger stops him from doing it again by slamming the side of his head against the cell itself. Gravedigger tells the referee outside to open the door.
The referee shakes his head no, telling Gravedigger they have to stay in the cell. Gravedigger reminds him who signs his paychecks and the referee quickly opens the cell door.
Billy: Oh shit! They’re heading outside of the Hell In A Cell! I thought the whole point was to contain them inside of that cage?!
Gravedigger irish whips Bishop into the barricade across ringside. Gravedigger gets a head of steam and spears Bishop right through the barricade!
Chris Avery: WOW! That barricade has taken a beating tonight! That’s not the first time that’s happened!
Crowd: HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT!
Gravedigger lays there for a minute before getting up and pulling Bishop to his feet. Gravedigger leads Bishop over to one of the announce tables.
Billy: Hey why are they coming to our table? Can’t you guys go to the Spanish announcers table?
Gravedigger yells at Billy to shut up as both announcers take off their headsets and grab the wireless ones and put them on. Bishop starts fighting off Gravedigger with a pair of elbows and some big rights. Gravedigger is backed away a little, but finally ducks one of the rights and hooks Bishop and hits a rock bottom on the outside!
Billy: RESPECTO!
Gravedigger struggles but manages to pull Bishop up and rolls him onto the table. Gravedigger climbs onto the table. Bishop hits Gravedigger with some more rights, trying to fight out from whatever is about to happen, but Gravedigger hits a huge knee to the midsection of Bishop.
Chris Avery: Now I know why Gravedigger requested reinforced tables. There was no way our normal tables could hold these two men up like this!!
Billy: What’s Gravedigger about to do? NO WAY! Gravedigger has Bishop on his shoulder and he drops down. DEATH DRIVER THROUGH THE ANNOUNCERS TABLE!!
Crowd: HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT!
Both men lay there and Gravedigger finally throws an arm over Bishop as the referee gets into position.
1...2...NO! Bishop gets a shoulder up!
Billy: SHITFIRE!! He nearly killed Bishop and Bishop still kicked out!
Chris Avery: Now where in the hell is Gravedigger going?
Gravedigger is climbing the side of the Hell In A Cell. Bishop is just starting to stir when Gravedigger reaches the top. Bishop looks surprised when he doesn’t see Gravedigger. He looks around and notices the fans looking up and finally does so himself. A sick grin goes across the face of Bishop as he walks over to the cell and tests it before climbing himself.
Chris Avery: Are these two men CRAZY?! Bishop just took I don’t know how many moves and is still able to somehow climb the cage.
Billy: He’s got the crowd behind him and probably a ton of adrenaline because he knows the stakes of this match! 15 years worth of bloodshed and rivalry between the two men!
Bishop reaches the top and Gravedigger stands near the center. Both men walk up to each other and start trading rights at the top of the cage, but Gravedigger finally ducks one of Bishop’s rights and catches Bishop with South of the Border sending Bishop face first on the top of the cell!
Billy: OH MY GOD! Bishop may be knocked out from that, but there’s no referee!
Chris Avery: Gravedigger pulls Bishop to his feet and what is he doing?! He’s mocking Bishop! He’s signaling for the Book of Bishop! He’s going to use Bishop’s own move!
NO! Bishop reverses into a back body drop, Gravedigger bouncing off the top of the cell hard! The crowd goes insane as Bishop pulls Gravedigger up and into the powerbomb position. Bishop powerbombs Gravedigger once, and then yells out as he pulls Gravedigger up and into a second powerbomb, dropping him hard on top of the cell.
Billy: BOOK OF BISHOP!!! He hits it on the top of the cell!!
Bishop starts to pin Gravedigger, but notices the referees down below. He waves for them to come up but they shake their heads no. Bishop looks around for a moment and then eyes something at ringside.
Chris Avery: What the hell was that look for? What’s he looking at?
Billy: SHTFIRE, Chris, I think I know what he’s doing.
Bishop picks Gravedigger up and walks over to the side of the cell with him.
Chris Avery: OH MY GOD!! I think I know, too! Somebody stop him!
Bishop tosses Gravedigger off the top of the cell and down below as he crashes through the Spanish announcers table!
Billy: SHITFIRE! SHITFIRE! SHITFIRE! The boss is dead!
The crowd can’t even pop for that it’s so insane, they just chant.
CROWD: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!
The referees check on Gravedigger as Bishop slowly and cautiously climbs down the side of the cell. When he finally reaches ringside he walks over and puts a foot on Gravedigger’s chest, confidently as the referee counts the pin.
1...2...NO!!!!!! Gravedigger gets an arm up, which shocks even Bishop!
Chris Avery: HOW IN THE HELL?!?!?
Billy: WHAT?!?! Gravedigger kicked out of that?!
Bishop, frustrated stomps away viciously at Gravedigger before finally pulling him to his feet. Bishop leads him back over to the cell door and they re-enter the Hell In A Cell. The referee closes the door and locks it again.
Bishop picks up Gravedigger and hits a running powerslam at ringside. He then looks under the ring and pulls out a chair. Bishop leans against the side of the ring, taking a breather, waiting for Gravedigger to get up. Bishop then steps forward and smashes the chair across the face of Gravedigger. Bishop looks at the referee inside the cell and points as he walks over and hooks the leg, pinning Gravedigger.
1...2...NO!
Chris Avery: AGAIN?!
Billy: What’s it going to take?!
Bishop pulls Gravedigger to his feet and laughs as he notices blood coming out of Gravedigger’s forehead. He turns and smashes Gravedigger’s face into the side of the cell and grinds it back and forth across it, further busting Gravedigger open.
Billy: OH MY GOD!
Bishop turns and rolls Gravedigger into the ring. He pulls Gravedigger up and has him set in powerbomb position. Members of MS-13 run out from the back and attack the referee outside. Bishop powerbombs Gravedigger not once but twice.
Billy: BOOK OF BISHOP! He hits it again!
Chris Avery: He looks like he’s going for the pin, but the MS-13 members have taken the key to the cell from the referee and they’ve unlocked the door!
Three huge bikers enter the cell as Bishop goes for the pin, not realizing what is going on behind him. The referee sees it, hesitates, but goes to count the pin anyway.
1...2...NO! One of the MS-13 members kicks Bishop in the side of the head, knocking him off of Gravedigger.
Bishop doesn’t even have time to react as the three men beat on Bishop relentlessly. Bishop gets enraged and starts fighting back, taking on all three MS-13 members. Mr. Armstrong is yelling at ringside for somebody.
Billy: What name is he saying?!
Chris Avery: I can’t quite make it out, but I have a strong idea.
Bishop turns the tide and knocks one of the MS-13 members out through the ropes and clotheslines another one over. Before he can take care of the third one, Gravedigger is up and hits a Gravemarker on Bishop. The other two MS-13 members eventually climb in and all four men start stomping away at Bishop. Gravedigger yells at them to pick Bishop back up.
Gravedigger dives forward with another huge Gravemarker and then yells one more time for them to pick Bishop up. Gravedigger grabs him and puts Bishop up on his shoulder for another Death Driver when the lights go out.
Billy: What the hell?!
Chris Avery: Look at the entryway. There’s a spotlight. HOLY SHIT! HE’S HERE?!
The spotlight lights up the entryway and standing there is another monster of a man who looks almost exactly like Bishop.
Billy: IT’S PRIEST!! PRIEST IS HERE IN ADUB!!
Chris Avery: For those of you who don’t know who this is, this is Bishop’s twin brother Priest. They were a tag team for most of their career until last year when Bishop attacked him.
Billy: Who is he here for?! Bishop or Gravedigger?!
In the ring, Gravedigger drops Bishop to the ground. Priest walks down the entrance ramp and walks over to the cell door and walks through. He pulls himself up onto the apron and points directly at Gravedigger and starts talking shit. As he climbs in, Gravedigger yells at the MS-13 members to attack Priest.
Priest starts tossing out haymakers, taking out all three members of MS-13. Gravedigger and Priest start trading rights in the center of the ring, but Priest kicks Gravedigger in the midsection and puts him on his shoulder. He hits a Go To Sleep!
Billy: HEAVEN BOUND!! Priest just laid out Gravedigger! He’s checking on his brother Bishop!
Chris Avery: YES!! THE BROTHERS ARE BACK!!
Priest pulls Bishop over and hooks his arm across Gravedigger and yells at the referee to count.
1...2...NO! Bishop pulls his arm up and off of Gravedigger.
Bishop slowly gets up and Priest starts yelling at him. The two brothers argue but then Bishop says something, pointing at the Hell In A Cell itself. Priest grins and nods. The two brothers climb out of the ring and walk out of the cell.
Billy: Where the hell are they going?! Are they leaving?!
Chris Avery: What are they doing?
Bishop and Priest grab one of the cell panels and they both yell out as they use their strength to rip off one of the cell panels. They drop it across the barricade that holds the fans back. Bishop and Priest both step through the hole and back into the cell.
Priest reaches in and grabs Gravedigger’s leg, pulling him out of the ring. Gravedigger starts fighting off both brothers, but Bishop nails him with a knee to the midsection. Bishop picks Gravedigger up into powerbomb position.
Chris Avery: HOLY SHIT! NO WAY!
Bishop powerbombs Gravedigger onto the cell panel, slightly bending it and then yells out as he lifts Gravedigger a second time and drops him hard onto the cell panel, completely bending it. Bishop gestures for one of the referees as he puts a foot on Gravedigger’s chest and roars out.
1...2...3!!
DING DING DING
"Invasion (Goldberg)" by Chris Poulet plays as Bishop walks back over to the ring and rolls in under the bottom rope. He gets up as the referee walks over holding his arm up in victory. Bishop walks over and gets on the second turnbuckle overlooking Gravedigger and he roars out in victory as the crowd comes unglued.
Billy: SHITFIRE!! I can’t believe it! I saw it with my own eyes just feet away from me and I still can’t believe it!! Bishop has beaten Gravedigger and it was in a Hell In A Cell match!
Chris Avery: Well, believe it, Billy! It happened! Bishop has overcome Gravedigger! It took damn near 15 years to do it, but he did do it!
Billy: What does this mean for Bishop? What does this mean for Gravedigger? Is Priest back for good or did he just come back to help his brother??! So many questions and yet we still have so much action left!!
