The show cuts to a break.

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

And sit down and we'd play some tunes
To whoever would listen to us
This is an old song that you'll recognize
That came from these particular times in bars and pubs
This is "Temple of the King"

As the lights fade between various shades of red and white Matt Ryker steps out. A few steps down the aisle Matt stops and hits the floor with both hands then throws them up in the air and looks up at the ceiling, pointing both fingers out together toward the ring, looking at the crowd.

Emily Lyle - From Madison, Wisconsin, weighing two hundred pounds, Matt Ryker!!

The show cuts to a break.

Eruption returns to the air and we're shown a wide sweeping shot of the Ashville Arena.

Cliff Morris: - "Welcome back to Eruption folks! In the ring now, we go to our colleague Emily Lyle!"!

Cut to the ring, where Emily Lyle waits to make an announcement.

Emily Lyle: - "Ladies and gentlemen, UWL fans young and old of Asheville, how are we feeling tonight?!"

There's a huge pop from the crowd. Emily smiles and nods in approval.

Emily Lyle: - "It would be my pleasure now to invite you in welcoming as special guest at this time: hailing all the way from the Windy Ciiiiity!"

She pauses as the crowd cheers for The Weatherman.

Emily Lyle: - "He is the UWL Heritage Champion and the NEW UWL Television Champion, the Weatherman Jackson Buuuuuuuuurrrnsiiiiiide!"

A loud crackle of thunder booms over the sound system and rips through the arena. "Weather Man" begins to play, the lights go out and a spotlight focuses at the top of the aisle. There's a longer delay than usual, Burnside is not standing there as expected for his entrance. After the lyrics to the song begin he busts out from the back, high energy and playing with the crowd. He's still dressed in his street clothes, baggy pants and a bomber-style jacket with sunglasses. His arms are outstretched as if to embrace the crowd. Both of his two title belt are noticeably absent. Burnside begins to make his way down to the ring but then stops after taking two steps. He feel around on his waist, then shoulders. Upon "realizing" the title belts are missing he holds up a finger to tell the crowd "one moment."

Logan Acker: - "Now where's he goin?"

Cliff Morris: - "Isn't it obvious?"

Burnside grins and jogs back behind the curtain. He returns ten seconds later with both arms outstretched and holding the title belts. The Heritage Title dangles at his right and the TV Title at his left. Burnside shouts something and then while continuing to carry both belts he heads down to the ring. Emily claps politely for Burnside as he heads up the steps and into the ring. Both belts go on a shoulder, but after trying to take a microphone from Emily and juggling with everything he hands it back to her. Then Burnside hands her the TV Title belt. The Weatherman puts the Heritage Title around his waist. Then he takes the TV Title back from Emily, throws it over his right shoulder, and finally grabs the microphone from her. As Emily exits the ring his music ceases to play.

Jackson Burnside drinks in the atmosphere for a moment. He paces in a small circle around the ring, taking the time to look out at the fans. He points out to a section in the crowd and gives an approving thumbs up. The camera pans over to reveal a group of fans with umbrellas and a large sign that reads "Weatherfan section." Back over to the ring as Burnside finally begins.

Jackson Burnside:
"ASHEVILLE!... The Weatherman welcomes you to ERUPTION!"

Huge pop from the crowd.

Jackson Burnside:
"Y'know something brothers, as I stand here in the ring right now tonight I can't help but feel unstoppable! Over the past few months I've torn through the UWL like Hurricane Lee rippin' up the east coast! But we ain't gonna pitter out when we hit the coast, this hurricane here dude ain't makin' landfall in Asheville just to pitter out and die! Because tonight is when the work starts! Billy Danielson and Ace Starr are gonna knock each other's teeth out to see who's next in line to fall victim to the Mag 7 or the Rack! To become next on list of names who've tried and failed to become Heritage Champion!"

He slaps the belt around his waist.

Jackson Burnside:
"But as a side order, there's an entire locker room-" he points over to the aisle and figuratively to the back "-of brothers lookin' to step up to the plate and take a crack at the TV Title! I wanna go on record right now as say the same rules apply to the Television Title - same as the Heritage! I will defend any belt against any challenger, any time, any arena! Just say the word and step into the storm!"

Burnside looks right into the camera as he levels the open challenge. The crowd cheers again.

Jackson Burnside:
"That mess is all down the line. Because right here tonight, your double-Champion teams up with the World Champion to face an angry Silverback and some freak who crawled outta the garbage pail. I won't mince words about it. The scales are stacked against us - we're lookin across the battlefield at two mean, ugly, strong SOBs and the good Lord knows there's no love-loss between me and Smythe. No matter how to read the radar, no matter which way the winds blow, there's one forecast that's always sure to pass. When it comes to gettin' it done in the ring, it doesn't matter if Hell's a'comin and your name is Cory Chevelle; it ainit important if you're the deathmatch dumbbell BRADDOCK: the Weatherman always weathers the storm and comes out on top!"

Burnside is fired up now. His face is pink and his breathing heavy. He removes his sunglasses and casually tosses them aside.

Jackson Burnside:
"Now that we got business outta the way, let's talk real. The Weatherman is a straight shooter and I'm gonna say what's on my mind. In two weeks UWL returns to my favorite town - sorry Asheville it's just a personal thing! On September 30th UWL rolls back into Chicago! And this old weather man has a chance that, in all honesty brothers I didn't think would come back around after I lost to that damn CALEB HART! It's more than just an opportunity to become UWL World Heavyweight Champion again. 'Cause it two weeks, Chicago is gonna experience an unprecedented geological event! The earth is gonna rip open north to south, tear the I-90 Express Way apart, and swallow Daron Smythe! The Weatherman'll be the only one stepping out of the wreckage man, and the World Title is gonna be raised over my head. I will cement my legacy; make history by being the first and only man to hold all three singles Championships in this company. The Weatherman, Jackson Burnside your Heritage, Television, and World Heavyweight Champion! Cut, print, check the g-"

Burnside goes down as Cory Chevelle blindsides him from behind. Jackson instinctively crawls forward to the corner, but Chevelle is already on top of him.

Cliff Morris: - "Oh come on now, can't this wait for the main event?"

Logan Acker: - "Talk smack get slapped! Burnside wants to talk trash, and now he's got the Silverback on the attack!"

As Burnside rolls over he meets a barrage of right hands. Chevelle backs off in order for Burnside to begin pulling himself up. Chevelle runs forward with a big lariat as Burnside exits the corner: the Weatherman ducks! Burnside continues running forward, bounces off the ropes, and catches the Silverback with a huge running lariat of his own on the rebound.

Cliff Morris: - "The Weatherman rallying back now an- and Cory Chevelle backs off.

Chevelle rolls out of the ring as referees and officials hit the scene. Chevelle opts to comply for now, allowing himself to be wrangled up the aisle to the back. All the while he trash talks Burnside. The Heritage-TV Champ responds, just begging Chevelle to come at him again.[/i]

Cliff Morris: - "This didn't end at Under Pressure, not by a longshot Logan!"

Logan Acker: - "Ain't it the truth! The Weatherman still has a very real Silverback problem on his hand ahead of tonight's main event, and you have to wonder what Daron Smythe thinks about the fact his partner could have been takin out in the ring just now!"

The two big men continue to trash talk as staff keep the peace, and we traisition backstage...

Camera cuts backstage at Eruption as Daron Smythe is standing near the monitors, looking out at the carnage taking place in the main arena between Cory Chevelle and Jackson Burnside. A wry smile envelops his face as Abby Joseph walks up, microphone in hand...

ABBY: Daron, aren't you going to do anything to help your tag team partner in tonight's main event?

DARON: Abby, for over a year I operated with a chip on my shoulder - watching as people new and old got opportunity after opportunity, while I sat back, kept working, kept scratching, kept clawning. I just kept working. Every set back was an opportunity to learn and get better and figure this crazy place out. It's not like I'm a spring chicken. But, if I have any strength it's learning quickly.
I kept that chip on my shoulder and used that anger and intensity to fuel each work out and each tape session. Eventually, all that hard work paid off, I got this right here *points to UWL World Title belt* and I felt this weight lift off my shoulder and that chip slowly disappeared. I was happy - personally and professionally. I've felt more than ready to carry the banner for this place and I'm happy to do it...

ABBY: Daron, with all due respect, what does that have to do with Cory Chevelle attacking Jackson Burnside?

DARON: That's the thing, Abby. This place has a weird way of protecting it's legacy wrestlers. When I first signed here, I saw Jackson Burnside was challenging Caleb Hart for the World Title and if you asked me, I would've bet a paycheck on Jackson Burnside to finally dethrone Caleb. But, he lost - and like some recommend, he went away and he "learned a new hold" so to speak. He came back with a vengeance. Do I think he's the guy to take the flag from me? Just like last time, no. But, the UWL brass has done something incredible - despite the fact that I've beaten everyone they've put in front of me in title matches - Anthony Cross, David Carroll, Mark Storm, I'm now in the position of being #2 for the first time in a long, long time. I can't deny it, he's been strong, but better than me? I don't think so. So, I'm going to give him a chance to prove it - if he thinks he's really #1, if he really thinks he's ready to take this championship from me, then show me, show everyone. Disregard some arbitrary ranking and be the man - because when push comes to shove, I'm not sure he can.

And, can someone explain to me why he's carrying around two belts? One of them being *MY* Television title, that I never lost? Can someone explain to me why he gets to keep both of those belts and I didn't? You see why that chip starts to reform back on my shoulder because I can see the signs, I can see exactly what is going on. Plus, an elimination four way title defense in two weeks at Parade of Champions? I may be annoyed at this and I may have expected anything but this because there's a million other things I want to do...

I want Billy Danielson in any sort of stipulation match where people can't interfere. I need to know, one on one, no bullshit, who is the better man. When I survive this title defense in two weeks, he will be the last guy of the old regime that I need to really beat. I can't count that victory due to David Carroll's interference. I know it, he knows it, everyone knows it. After beating David Carroll decisively, no one deserves a title shot more than Billy - maybe a steel cage match? I just need to know, once and for all, is it finally my time to consider myself the greatest to ever do it?

And then there's David Carroll lurking in the shadows. It seems like the UWL brass doesn't take him as seriously as they should. This man in dangerous and his power is growing, he's going to be dangerous, he's going to grow an army around him and the UWL is a pulpit for him to preach and grow his followers. Yeah, I know, he just lost to Billy Danielson as I mentioned earlier but I can't see this guy going away. He's not a Leonardo or Nick Danger or any of these other guys who had lighting in a bottle and slipped away, this guy knows how to spin a result, he knows how to frame things to his followers and he's charismatic as hell, he scares me more than anyone on this roster.

Then there's the other two challengers. Cory Chevelle, the Silverback, a guy I really do feel is going to be a top guy in this company, but what happens? He loses his title to Jackson Burnside. I'm really confused by this - I think if there's anyone in this company I relate to, anyone who I think could be the guy, it's him - he's doing everything right but somehow not getting to enjoy that success in ring. Maybe it's life's way of testing him? Maybe he's following the same path as me from a year ago? This is a guy I really and truly worry about but I'm not afraid - dude's a storyteller, dude's a beast in the ring, but is he willing to absorb the ups and downs of the UWL or will he fade away like so many others? In tonight's main event, we are going to find out, I'm going to get a really good look at him.

Then there's BRADDOCK - this dude is a wildcard and an absolute psychopath. I don't even know what to think about him. He's huge, dominate, aggressive - if he figures out how to harness his best qualities, he could really be the guy around here - but he's another guy that has to decide, is he really in for the long haul or is he the Goldberg or Ultimate Warrior type where they reach the top of the mountain and then it's "now what?" There's so much potential there but without execution, what is potential? A nice thought?

ABBY: That's a lot of response from one question, Daron. What do you think will happen in tonight's main event?

DARON: Well, if you put the #1 and #2 ranked wrestlers on a team, they should dominate, right? I'm not sure what will happen when the four of us get in the ring tonight but it should be a fun preview of the main event in two weeks. Whatever the result is, I'm ready. I stay ready. I will carry this UWL banner as long as I can and I will be consistent along the way. My contemporaries? I'm not sure.

Daron walks away from Abby as the camera fades to black...
