As the date of the UWL Grand Voyage approaches, Daron Smythe prepares himself for the most important match of his career, a shot at the UWL World Heavyweight Championship against Anthony Cross. Determined to make this opportunity count, Smythe dives into an intense training regimen to ensure he is in peak physical and mental condition. The training montage begins.
NARRATOR: In 1999, Daron Smythe first entered a professional wrestling ring in a seedy garage with a dream - a poor kid from a little town known as Wheeling, West Virginia. A kid whose mom took a hyperactive four year old to see his first WWF house show at the Wheeling Civic Center, seeing the Ultimate Warrior for the first time in person. Daron told his mom on that night he would be a professional wrestler.
Scene 1: The Gym
Daron Smythe enters the gym, his eyes focused and determined. He starts with weightlifting, pushing his limits to build strength and power. Beads of sweat form on his forehead as he lifts the weights with fierce determination. The camera captures his grunts of effort and the strain in his muscles, showcasing the intensity of his training.
NARRATOR: Fast forward, seven years, Daron would hold his first major heavyweight championship, the PWX Heavyweight Championship at the tender age of 23 - a top guy in a small territory, but doing well...
Scene 2: Cardio Conditioning
Next, Smythe moves to the treadmill, pushing himself to the limit with high-intensity interval training. The camera captures his face, showing his determination and willpower as he pushes through the pain. Beads of sweat drip down his face, but he remains relentless, knowing the importance of his upcoming match.
NARRATOR: Several years later, Smythe is running the training school at PWX and dating the daughter of PWX promoter, Jim Miller. Smythe is afforded several opportunities at dark matches with the WWE, but never seems to get that real shot. Happy nevertheless, Smythe has settled into this life...
Scene 3: In-Ring Training
Inside the wrestling ring, Smythe practices his moves and techniques. He executes powerful suplexes, high-flying maneuvers, and ground-based submissions with precision and finesse. His trainer watches closely, providing feedback and guidance to help him refine his skills. Smythe takes every critique to heart, determined to perfect his craft.
NARRATOR: A night that would live in infamy, Smythe quits mid-ring during a PWX show, citing being lied to by Jim Miller and his whole family - later on we would learn Jim's daughter would fake a pregnancy to keep Daron from signing a WWE developmental deal.
Scene 4: Mental Preparation
In a quiet room, Smythe sits in meditation, focusing on his breathing and visualizing his victory over Anthony Cross. He reflects on his journey, the pain he has endured, and the sacrifices he has made. This introspective moment reveals the complexity behind his cocky persona and the deep-rooted desire to prove himself.
NARRATOR: Flash forward almost ten years later, Smythe signs his first contract with UWL in July of 2022. Fans weren't quite sure what to make of this cocky yet capable competitor.
Scene 5: Sparring Sessions
Smythe engages in intense sparring sessions with fellow wrestlers, simulating the high-energy atmosphere of a real match. He trades powerful strikes, evades attacks, and counters with precision. The camera captures the raw intensity as Smythe absorbs hits and fights back with a determined fire burning in his eyes.
NARRATOR: We see early losses to Robb Daniels and others, it was a rocky start getting back in the groove. Eventually, Daron starts finding his winning ways..
Scene 6: Endurance Training
To build his stamina, Smythe embarks on grueling endurance training. He sprints through obstacle courses, jumps over hurdles, and crawls under barbed wire. Despite the physical and mental exhaustion, Smythe pushes forward, refusing to give in to fatigue. This scene showcases his unwavering determination and indomitable spirit.
NARRATOR: We see Daron's victory over Nick Danger to win and then retain the UWL Television title, his win in the 2023 Universal Stampede, and his victory in the #1 Contender's Tournament to get this title shot.
Scene 7: Final Preparations
As the training montage nears its end, Smythe refines every aspect of his performance. He studies footage of his previous matches with Anthony Cross, analyzing his opponent's strengths and weaknesses. He strategizes with his trainer and comes up with a game plan to exploit Cross's vulnerabilities.
NARRATOR: This match is more than just wrestling, it's more than just a championship - it's a redemption story for a complicated man. One who is cocky to a point - maybe it's a cover up? Maybe it's a tough exterior to hide insecurity?
The training montage concludes with Smythe standing tall in the center of the ring, his muscles glistening with sweat, and his eyes filled with a steely determination. He has put in the work, both physically and mentally, to prepare himself for the ultimate challenge ahead. With the training montage behind him, Daron Smythe is ready to step into the ring and give everything he has to become the UWL World Heavyweight Champion.
