UWL Eruption 11-12-22

The picture cuts across the arena and cuts to the ring.



Emily Lyle - The following contest is set for one fall with a fifteen minute time limit!

“Lights and Sounds” by Yellowcard hits as Jeremy Riggs steps out onto the stage. Riggs stands looking out at the crowd, throwing both arms into the air and points straight at the ring. Riggs makes his way down the aisle toward the ring.

Emily Lyle - From Roanoke, Virginia, weighing two hundred and ten pounds, Jeremy Riggs!!

Riggs paces back and forth in the ring while his music continues to play.

Cliff Morris: "Jeremy Riggs waiting, like we all are Logan, for the arrival of the Weatherman. What do you think is going through his head right now? We don't know how this guy is or what he's all about."

Logan Acker: "I can't begin to speculate. I just hope this guy, this Weatherman come out here with more than a printout of Philadelphia's weather forecast, because Riggs is a veteran you don't want to count out."

Cliff Morris: "I agree and I hope-"

All the lights in the arena go black.

Logan Acker: "What the Hell?"

The fans in attendance cheer when the lights go down and the building turns pitch black. Some lights flicker on one side of the arena and thunder effects are pumped through the PA system. The lights flicker once quickly over the entryway to the back, followed by louder and "closer" thunder. Steady rain sound effects are added and the volume picks up.

Riders on the storm...

The Doors' Riders on the Storm starts to play over the sound of the rain. The lights come on up on the entryway, but occasionally flicker. More individual lights in the building flicker again to simulate lightning, followed by thunder as the song continues to play. Jeremy Riggs is in the ring and he looks around cautiously. A flicker of fake lightning quickly captures the look on his face before it goes dark again. As the cameras cut back to focusing on the entryway a figure emerges from the back. It's impossible to make him out. Whoever it is is wearing a large black leather duster that obscures everything. More frustratingly, he is holding an open umbrellas in front of him. It is a plain black thing, with exception to "The Weathermman" written on it in silver script. The person stands there for a moment and suddenly the song and sound effects cease. The arena goes pitch black again.

Silence for a few seconds before a different song starts. Valley of Wolves' song "Weather Man" begins to play and all the lights come on. The enigmatic Weatherman holds his position for a long time. So long that it begins to border on being silly. The cameras changes angles and shots while he maintains his statuesque position on the top of the ramp. The crowd cheering, shots of the Weatherman holding his position and concealing his identity with the umbrellas. Over to Riggs in the ring, and finally back to a wide shot of the entryway, a head-on straight shot of the Weatherman. The song begins to move into the chorus, and finally movement.

I make these dark skies blue!
I make these mountains move!

The Weatherman begins to spin the umbrella. The silver lettering continue to reflect the rays of the well-placed spotlight.

Let the rain come down and I'm pushin' through.

The Weatherman spins with the umbrella. He swings it up to the side over his shoulder as his back faces down the aisle. He continues his momentum to spin forward and finally face the crowd.

'Cause I'm a weather man!

Jackson Burnside stands at the top of the aisle wtih a shit-eating grin on his face. He effortlessly folds up the black umbrella and holds it over his shoulder. The crowd cheers wildly for the former World Champion. Burnside drinks it in for a moment and then makes his way down to the ring. He's full of energy, jaunty even. The umbrella comes off this shoulder and he spins it around. Jackson intracts with fans, pointing here or there, first bumping people in the front row.

Cliff Morris: - "Jackson Burnside! Logan, this is the last guy I expected!"

Logan Acker: - "I'm shocked! Jackson Burnside is the Weatherman! What does that even mean?"

Cliff Morris: "I'm sure we'll find out in time. But I think we can say tonight marks a new chapter in that man's UWL career."

Jackson goes under the bottom rope and pops up. Arms outstretched, umbrella still held in his right hand. Jackson Burnside takes in the adulation of the fans. The camera switches to a wide shot of the venue to capture the moment, and then returns to a shot of the ring. Jackson has his arms out, his head back with eyes shut. The man standing in the middle of the ring doesn't resemble the World Champion fans remember. His face is covered in a curly, light brown beard. Jackson lowers his arms and slids off the black coat. This reveals that his body has also gone through a transformation. His core is heavier, less-defined and you could say fatter. His chest and navel have been growing hair back in, indicating he used to shave his body. He appears even blotchy in some places, with pink abrasions here or there. Burnside is still strong, fierce and powerful. But now there is an almost disgusting quality to it. The Superbeast looked like a well-manicured athelete who knew his apperance mattered in this business. The Weatherman looks like he wants to knock back some beers at the bar and get in fight afterwards.

Logan Acker: - "Burnside looking like he hasn't seen a gym in his time off."

Cliff Morris: - "I think it's deliberate. Don't let him hear what you're saying too loud. Burnside was always scary strong Logan. Now he just looks scary."

Logan Acker: - "I think Riggs is in for a world of hurt."

Jackson has traded in his tights for a shorter pair of short-styled, MMA-esque trunks. He's got on a low pair of boots, wrist tape. Compared to months before, this look is very stripped down. A counter-balance to his lengthy and ostentatious entrance.

Burnside and Riggs stand in opposite corners and the referee rings the bell. Collar-elbow tie-up, and Burnside effortlessly overpowers Riggs. Riggs down to one knee, and Burnside casually throws him backward. Riggs rolls through and remains on his knees, but Burnside wastes no time. He stomps over to Riggs, hoists him up and beals him across the ring. Riggs shakes the cobwebs out. Burnside is already on top of him through. The former World Champ casually picks Riggs up and throws him again. Riggs fips in the air and lands hard on his back.

Cliff Morris: - "Burnside throwing Riggs around like a ragdoll."

Logan Acker: - "He looks gross, but I gotta admit he seems strong as ever."

Stalking Riggs, Burnside bends over and picks him up again. He hoists Riggs up and throws him onto his shoulders in a fireman's carry.

Logan Acker: - "Is Burnside looking for the Rack?"

Cliff Morris: - "That's not the Rack, Logan! Burnside has him face down!"

Burnside roars and paces around the ring with Riggs helpless form over his shoulders. He walks around, playing with the crowd. He returns to the center of the ring and begins... spinning. The big man twirls rapidly in a clockwise circle. He picks up momentum with each spin and in no time he's like a tornado in the middle of the ring.

Cliff Morris "Riggs going for a ride, Logan!"

Burnside starts to wind down and throws Riggs off his back. The other athlete pancakes face first into the canvas. Burnside stumbles, shakes his head and takes a minute to collect himself. Riggs lays in the middle of the ring on his back, dizzy and beaten down. Jackson throws himself backward into the rope. He bounes off, runs a few steps over to Riggs and jumps high into the air. Atomic Leg drop across Riggs.

Logan Acker: "That's a wrap."

Burnside doesn't even move. He keeps one leg draped across Riggs' chest and he tells the referee to count. 1...2... 3!

Emily Lyle: - "Here is your winner by pinfall, the Weatherman, Jacksoooon Buuuuuurnsiiiiiiiide!!!!"

Jackson Burnside says "that's right" to nobody in particular and gets to his feet. Commentary speaks to us as spots from the brief match are replayed.

Cliff Morris: - "Short and sweet, Jackson Burnside - or should I say the Weatherman? - victorious tonight over Riggs.

Logan Acker: - "This wasn't about showing off and painting a nice picture for the boys in the back. Look at this Jackson Burnside throwing Riggs around the ring like a sack of potatoes!"

Cliff Morris: - "Then this new offensive from Burnside! That airplane spin, he goes around what, twenty-five times there?"

Logan Acker: "Burnside tore around the ring like an F5 Tornado! And then follows up with an earthquake! Leg Drop and that's ball game, Cliff."

When we cut away from the replay footage, Burnside is up on the top rope. "Weather Man" is playing off his victory. The black umbrella raised high in the sky, and then Jackson lowers it and points out to the crowd. Burnside hops down, slides out of the ring and gathers up his big black coat from some crew at ringside. Burnside hands the umbrella to nobody in particular in the front row and makes his way up the aisle. The camera pans around to his front. He looks directly into it and smiles.

Jackson Burnside: - "Oh yeah. We're back brother."

One final stop at the top of the aisle. Burnside wheels around again. He raises his right arm in a bald fist into the air. The Weatherman stands at the top of the aisle, triumphant in is victory and his return to UWL.

The picture cuts across the arena and cuts to the ring.

The show cuts to a break.

The scene opens with Absolution, Garlan Brown and Silas Adler, standing stoically and seriously together with the UWL Tag Team Championship belts over their shoulders. They appear to have something on their minds. Brown exhales an exasperated sigh as he shakes his head.

Garland Brown: "Let's get right to the chase. I don't beat around the bush. Tonight Levi Sutton you're going to pay for what you and Drake Beckett did to us at Championship Extravaganza. Who do you two think you are to step to us? Tonight you're getting a beating for thinking that you can step to us".

Silas Adler: "That's right Drake Beckett I want you one on one at the 17th Anniversary Celebration on November 26th. I am going to break you in half on the 26th".

Garlan Brown: "We didn't ask for the open challenge and we didn't ask for you two to stick your nose in our business. Who do you two think you are to challenge us for these UWL Tag Team Championships".

Silas Adler: "Don't write a check your butt can't cash".

Brown shakes his head as he looks at Adler who's rubbing his hands together.

The scene fades.

We are back live on UWL Saturday Night Eruption as UWL Backstage Interviewer Abby Joseph stands ringside, microphone in hand…

Abby: Philadelphia, PA! *crowd roars* We are so happy to be here tonight at The Liacouras Center for another exciting edition of UWL Saturday Night Eruption! *Crowd pops again* Tonight, we have a few special guests in the crowd, family members of hometown hero, Nick Danger who just picked up a huge win - let’s welcome his mother Maria and his brother Alexander!

*Nick’s mom and brother stand up and wave to the crowd to applause*

Abby: We are so thrilled that you both could be here. Maria, I’m sure you are excited to see your son Nick pick up a huge win here tonight.

Maria: I sure am proud of my son and all that he has done in wrestling and I know he will give it his all tonight against Caleb Hart and hopefully win! *Crowd applauds*

Abby: Right on! That’s a huge match up for Nick tonight but I’m sure it’s bittersweet after losing the UWL Television Championship in nefarious means to “#1” Daron Smythe…

Maria: Well, Abby, seeing Nick win that Television Championship was a thrill for me. I wasn’t always comfortable with Nick getting into professional wrestling, it’s a dangerous business. But, Nick persisted and he has gone on to do great things. Seeing the look of joy on his face when he won that title was such a big moment for me as a parent. Seeing him lose it in that way is sad, but I know he will get it back…

*Alexander moves over and starts talking into the microphone, interrupting his mother in the process*


Alexander: Yeah…everyone here knows Nick should STILL be the Television Champion. *crowd applauds* If it wasn’t for that dirty, no good, son of a bi-

*”The Memory Remains” by Metallica hits on the PA system, interrupting Nick’s Brother and out saunters the new UWL Television Champion, Daron Smythe, to a chorus of boos from the audience. Daron stops at the top of the ramp, pointing at the Television Title belt on his shoulder, drawing the ire of the crowd. Daron walks down the aisle towards ringside, microphone in hand…*

Daron: Awww…I thought this was supposed to be the City of Brotherly Love, huh? *Crowd boos* Speaking of Brotherly Love, how sweet it is that Nick Danger’s mom and his little baby brother are here…isn’t that sweet?

*Daron is now at ringside, standing next to Abby and Nick’s family*

Daron: I’m so sorry, Philadelphia, that you are disappointed tonight. I mean, I feel like you should be accustomed to disappointments, especially the way the Astros just DESTROYED the Phillies in the World Series?!

*Deafening boos rain down from the audience*

Daron: Speaking of disappointments, the both of you shouldn’t be pointing any fingers at me. You should be pointing the finger at your son, Nick. Nick shouldn’t have even been Television Champion in the first place! He was just at the right place, right time guy. He didn’t even beat the champion! He’s just a lucky bum, from a bum town, with a bum family…

*Alexander reaches across the guardrail, slapping Daron right in the face. Daron recoils for a moment, then grabs Nick’s Brother by the collar, pulling a fist back and readying a knockout blow. Nick Danger sprints down the aisle and tackles Daron at ringside, hitting Daron with a barrage of fists. Daron rolls into the ring trying to escape the furious attack, but Nick follows into the ring. Daron blinds Nick with a thumb to the eye, sending Nick to one knee in the middle of the ring. Daron rolls out of the ring and reaches underneath the ring skirts to grab a steel chair. Daron holds the chair high in the air and points at Nick’s mother and brother, who are cursing at Daron from ringside. Daron rolls into the ring and lays the chair on the ground. Daron grabs Nick and looks to go for yet another devastating piledriver on a chair, but Nick wiggles out and backdrops Daron right onto the steel chair! Daron is writhing in agony as Nick takes the opportunity to strike. Nick kicks Daron in the stomach and sets up for a piledriver of his own, but somehow Daron slides through Nick’s legs, dives underneath the bottom rope, and grabs his Television Title belt. Daron slinks up the aisle way as Nick grabs the microphone in the ring*

Nick: Daron nobody disrespects my family or even lays a finger on my brother. At Power Surge I said rather I pin the champion or pin the other challenger I was going to walk out as the UWL Television Champion and that is what I did. Hell if you were in my shoes you would have pinned Talia inside the ring also. But at Championship Extravaganza you've had to hit me with a steel chain to take the UWL Television Championship away from me. But I want a rematch for that title that you had to cheat and steal from me.

*The crowd cheers Nick Danger*

Nick: So listen well you son of a bitch. At Starrzone I plan on making your life a living hell. Because since you want to use Steel chains how about we fight in a Steel Chain match? And when we fight I am going to dog walk your ass up and down the arena. But since you are not going to give me a rematch I am going to make you give me a rematch so you better be prepared because I am going to make you give me a rematch rather you like it or not.
