UWL Eruption 11-2-24

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!



The lights around the arena go dark. The drum beats begin slowly pounding until the few chords of Promentory begin playing. Smoke begins filling the stage area as the music builds to a slow climax. After a minute as the chords begin crunching and raising in intensity, Chevelle appears walking out on stage with Nicole Sanders alongside him.

Emily Lyle - Ladies and gentlemen, From Bootjack, Missouri! Weighing in at 290 pounds! He is CORRRY! CHEVELLLLLLE!

Chevelle makes his way through the smoke. His cold blue eyes focused on the ring. Chevelle makes his way down the ramp to the ring. Nicole kisses him for luck and then Chevelle springs up to the side apron and then hops over the ropes. The crowd is on its feet with a mixed primarily consisting of boos with some cheers for the champion. Chevelle looks out to the crowd and flexes followed by a pec juggle and turns his attention to his opponent.



The lights in the arena go out and there's the sound of thunder cracking. "Weather Man" starts to play and a few seconds in lights come up focused on the aisleway. Jackson Burnside stands in the entryway behind a black umbrella with "The Weatherman" written across it in reflective silver lettering. As the lyrics to the song kick in he spins the umbrella, and eventually spins it around himself in a twirl. Jackson faces the crowd, throws the umbrella over his shoulder one right hand and he makes a "finger gun" motion out to the crowd with his left.

Emily Lyle: "Blowing in from the Windy City; standing six-five and weighing in tonight at three-hundred and ten pounds, 'The Weatherman', Jackson Buuuuurnsiiiiiide!"

As Emily announces him, Jackson walks on down to the ring with a pep in his step in very performative manner. He sings along with the lyrics to "Weather Man", he bumps fists with people in the crowd, points around with his free hand or the umbrella. Jackson reaches the ring and rolls under the bottom rope. He gets up one knee at a time and walks in a small circle. The song begins to to build up the chorus and Jackson climbs up to the nearest turnbuckle. He puts his head down and holds the umbrella with both hands.



Jackson throws his head back in sync with the song. His right arm raises the closed umbrella high into the air. He holds up on the top rope for awhile, and finally after jumping down he removes the long black leather coat and sunglasses. He hands them along with the umbrella to somebody at ringside. He takes a moment to bounce off the ropes and he runs them a few times. Finally he stops in the middle of the ring and continues to hype himself up while waiting.




Cliff Morris - This could be a main event anywhere in the country. But we have it here tonight. As, Television Champion Jackson Burnside takes on one half of the UWL Tag Team Champions Cory Chevelle.

Emily Lyle - The winner of this match Cory Chevelle!!

Though the bell has rang and the match is over, Chevelle and BRADDOCK are circling Burnside inside the ring. The fans are booing as loud as they can with disapproval. Jackson Burnside is struggling to get back up as the two men converse with Chevelle directing Braddock. Burnside gets to his hands and knees, then pulls himself up using the ropes but as soon as he turns around Braddock hits him with the Mansfield Curse! The booing gets louder as the ref orders for the bell again. Chevelle meanwhile gets a mic and walks over, standing over Burnside.

Cory Chevelle:
JB! You stupid son of a bitch, did you really think this was gonna be it!? That this would be your defining moment over ME!? It's not just me you need to worry about anymore bud. ITS US! Speaking of us, where's Nicole? Hunny, why don't you come on out here too because this is for you just as much as it is us.

Nicole Sanders comes out from the back and makes her way down the ramp. She hollers to Chevelle "MORE!" And Chevelle nods then hands the tosses the mic aside. He reaches down, grabbing Burnside by the head of his hair and holds him up while Nicole enters. Chevelle holds Burnside in place as Nicole kicks him right between the legs.

Cliff Morris:
That's enough! This is sickening!

Burnside sinks down but Chevelle pulls him back up, yelling at him "YOU WILL NEVER BE THE BETTER MAN OVER ME JB! YOU GOT THAT!" Then Chevelle swings Jackson Burnside into the ropes and as JB bounces off of them, Chevelle tosses him up into the air and Braddock follows up by spiking Jackson Burnside's head into the mat with the KO by gravity! The three gather around laughing while admiring their handy work when all of a sudden Tony Rios comes running down the ramp with a chair in hand! The crowd erupts as Tony slides into the ring. Chevelle and Braddock step in front of Nicole with Chevelle motioning to her to get out of the ring. Tony pops up to his feet with lightning speed and Braddock charges him. Tony bashes Braddock over the top of his head with the chair and continues swinging for the fences, cracking Chevelle upside the head next!

Logan Acker:
TONY RIOS IS CLEANING HOUSE AND TAKING NO PRISONERS!

Tony tosses the folded up chair down to the mat as he locks eyes with Nicole who is rolling Chevelle out of the ring. Chevelle falls from the side of the apron and she slides out with him as Rios looks around to make sure the ring is clear. He then goes over and starts to check on Burnside. Chevelle is laying outside the ring looking around like he doesn't know what just hit him as Nicole urges him to get up. Tony begins trying to help Jackson up when he notices movement from Braddock who's still inside the ring.

Cliff Morris:
And Tony Rios may not be done cleaning house yet!

Braddock, dropping blood down the side of his head reaches for the ropes and begins trying to pull himself up. Rios looks to the roaring crowd who begin cheering him with their approval then Rios goes to Braddock and picks him up for Rio-Driver! He stalls for second as he looks to the crowd who screams even louder then delivers the move and rolls Braddock out of the ring right after. Chevelle is stumbling to the ramp, holding his head but his eyes are locked on to Rios. Rios dares him to come back and Nicole tells Rios where to go. Meanwhile, Jackson Burnside is starting to sit up and gazes around, watching Rios with a look of uncertainty while holding his head. Rios turns and looks back at Jackson Burnside with great intensity, then back at Chevelle, spitting outside of the ring towards Chevelle as Chevelle tells him "YOU JUST [DJ SCRATCH] UP!"

Cliff Morris:
Folks we gotta go to break, we'll be right back after a word from our sponsors!"

The crowd is buzzing after a series of matches when The lights cut off for a second as the fans begin to murmur amongst themselves when the following words are heard over the loudspeaker.



DNA by Kendrick Lamar blares over the speakers as Bryan Ford emerges in an all-white jacket and shades on his face. He has a serious expression as a group of security guards follows him as the fans begin to boo Bryan who shakes his head making his way down to the ring, he enters as two chairs are already in the ring he sits down crossing his legs as he looks around taking in the boos heard saying "You don't understand" but not in the microphone.

He raises it up to his lips beginning to speak.

Bryan Ford - "I came to UWL... with pure intentions... I came because I wanted to add my years in this business to the journalistic aspect of professional wrestling.”

“I made it clear from the jump I wasn't competing anymore, I feel I've done what I needed and wanted to give back differently... and even now I'm giving back differently. Welcome to the first episode of The Ford Garage."

Bryan receives another wave of boos as he shakes his head before raising the mic again to his lips.

Bryan Ford - "Look we all know what you want... we know who you want so let's bring out my guest. I know he hears me... Billy Danielson... let's talk about it."

Ford looks out to the entrance waiting for Danielson, but there’s nothing at first. The crowd is buzzes as they wait patiently. When all hope is gone that Danielson is going to show, suddenly the lights go out.



”Born for Greatness" by Papa Roach plays as the crowd buzzes, as the crowd goes nuts. The first verse plays out, causing more anticipation. As the verse comes to the end it pauses for a moment. All of the lights go out again, but then come right back on in full brightness!!!



Suddenly, the UWL Heritage Champion, Billy Danielson, walks out from behind the curtain to a huge pop. He goes down to the ring with his Heritage Title, wearing wrestling gear and a UWL t-shirt he had cut into a tank top. The “G.O.A.T.” high-fives fans as he makes his way to the ring, but his glare never breaks from Bryan Ford, who stands smiling in the ring. As Billy approaches the ringsteps, he wipes his feet before going up to the apron. Before Billy enters the ring though, Bryan’s smile drops as he motions for security to create a barricade between him and Billy. Danielson growls, but Bryan looks pleased with himself.

Bryan Ford - “Sorry, brother. Nothing personal, but I can’t afford for you to crash out on the first episode of my talk show!!!”

He motions for Billy to sit and the security guards take a step forward, trying to force him into the seat. After assessing the situation, Billy throws his hands up and decides to sit down. Bryan motions for the security guards to move away as Bryan starts smiling at Billy again.

Bryan Ford - “Billy, allow me to apologize and explain my act-”

BIlly Danielson - “No need, Bryan. No need. I see you for who you are. You’re a liar and you’re trying to capitalize on my career. I get it. I understand you. You don’t need to explain it.”

Bryan laughs and shakes his head visibly annoyed.

Bryan Ford - “See there you go again with that… capitalize off your career? Billy… Dawg… Bryan Ford is a top pick wherever I land. In this business, I made it MY business to leave an imprint on people's minds.”

“There wasn't a show that didn't want me on its roster. I still have offers rolling in at the mere thought of me stepping foot in that ring again. Something like that doesn't even begin to make sense as to why I would need to piggyback off someone's career, much less yours.”

Ford twirls the mic before looking at Billy.

Bryan Ford - “No… that sounds like someone else I used to know… YOU. A guy who would step on their own mother's spine to get the spotlight shown on them. Someone ruthless. Someone who would stop at nothing to rise to the top. That… that was someone I respected. Cuz let's not gloss over the fact that yeah you stuck up for me after I had a career-altering injury at the hands of Emma Douglas… but was it flowers sent to the hospital? Was it A phone call? Nah… It was a half-assed Twitter post and you getting a crack at the world title.”

“Now I'm not gonna do the whole downplay of your accomplishments, I'm not gonna say you don't deserve to be where you're at. But I'm not gonna play this dumb facade like you're some new person all of a sudden. You're an imposter William… And I don't recognize you anymore… And I especially don't recognize you as Champion.”

The crowd murmurs as Ford gets up from his seat still in the safety of the wall of security

Bryan Ford - “You got a whole roster full of nobodies pretending to be somebodies All pining for a title held by The biggest pretender in the business! See whether people loved me or hated me they got the real me, and I refuse to believe that you are being you're authentic self! See I came to UWL with the purest intentions… I did… but I would be damned If I let a piece of garbage like you rack up another win on your record. So yeah I cost ya the match and I wouldn't had you been man enough to talk to me. But ya didn't, ya spun your little backstory as to when what, and why, and tarnished the legacy I built for myself.”

Ford is about to continue when Billy raises a finger as if to say ‘One sec’

Billy Danielson - “You almost had me convinced for a second, Bryan. You had me second-guessing everything I’ve done and thinking maybe it was a con that I just believed it until it became true, because the fact of the matter is, you’re right. There was a time where I was a ruthless opportunist.”

Billy points to himself. He had truly felt like maybe he had gaslit himself into believing he had done so much for Bryan, when truly he had done nothing. However, watching Bryan Ford nod and try to discredit him frustrated him.

Billy Danielson - “However, living like that was eating me alive. I was questioning the legitmacy of MY legacy and contemplating retirement when you got hurt. I was a foot out the door, but then I watched you get spiked. All I could think about was how tragic it was that you would never meet your potential. It broke my heart, but then I saw your mentor’s popping ass on the timeline and everyone else being too scared to do anything about it. I saw so many blind eyes turned to the tragedy that was Bryan Ford that I vowed to make up for it.”

Bryan rolls his eyes, but Billy starts to sound choked up. He’s at the edge of his seat with the emotion and oassion he’s speaking with.

Billy Danielson - “In many ways, your injury allowed me to realize more of my own potential, because I straightened up, got better, and brought it to UWL where I was able to turn that potential into something. There may not have been flowers and texts, but there was a man standing up for you when you had nothing. I wouldn’t be this man if it wasn’t for you, and I think we both know that.”

Billy pauses.

Billy Danielson - “So yes, it’s true, you became my martyr. I saw the opportunity to change in tragedy, and I absolutely took it. I porbably could have sent you more flowers or texts over the years, but my main goal was to make sure you didn’t feel like nobody cared you were gone or that your career meant nothing to anyone.”

Danielson starts to smirk a bit, which causes a bit of concern on the face of Bryan Ford.

Billy Danielson - “But that’s how I knew you were so full of shit when you said I was tarnishing your legacy.”

Bryan’s eyes get wide as he tries to get security to stop Billy from finishing his though. However, they continue to just stand there.

Billy Danielson - “What legacy could I be tarnishing of yours, Bryan? Being the young boy to a faction of strippers? Being the guy who cashed in Option-C numerous times, but never successfully claimed the big one? The guy that Emma Douglas had retired? The guy who wanted to return over a year ago, but couldn’t find consistent work, so he transitioned to the role of a backstage interviewer just to keep a job?”

Now Danielson gets to his feet. He gets as close to the wall of security as possible, staring a hole in Ford. Bryan holds his stare but does his best to no-sell the intensity as to not show his anger.

Billy Danielson - “We both know you’re here for one thing… back pay for all the success I got after I went and fought your bully for you. The titles I’ve won, the opportunities I’ve gotten, and all the other things you think you could have had if the roles were reversed. You also want me to turn back “into the old Billy”, so I can finally self-destruct and you can take your place at the top of the mountain like you may have 2 years ago.”

Security pushes on Billy to get him to back up, and the UWL Heritage Champion laughs.

Billy Danielson - “Know what though, Bryan, I can’t blame you. You’ve got a second chance at life and at finally realzing that potential while you can. You don’t want to let it slip by again, so you’re trying to create an opportunity. Well, why don’t I give you an opportunity to become a star RIGHT NOW!!!”

Danielson throws his UWL Heritage Championship at the security guard in front of Bryan, and charges, but Bryan rolls out of the ring. The Ford Garage’s security crew start to shove Billy as Ford escapes to the stage ramp. He stops and whisltes for Billy to pay attention, as the security guards start to circle Billy

Bryan Ford - “There he is! There's the Billy with the fire that I know so well, but he's just peeking His head out the door. You want me tonight? You fans here want to See Billy Danielson and Bryan Ford here tonight?!”

The crowd begins to cheer wanting to see Ford finally get punched in the face as he begins to undo his tie, before raising the mic up to his lips.

Bryan Ford - “NO.”

Bryan smirks as a sea of boos rocks the rafters as he shakes his head with a devious plan forming in his head.

Bryan Ford - “But Billy I tell you what… I've been putting in the work… I've been honing my craft all over again for one lucky person to get to experience the Return of The Bryan Ford show. But I have three guidelines… First one… I challenge you… to a match at The Anniversary Show…”

The crowd Roar in Approval at the thought of these two finally locking horns

Bryan Ford - “Second… I want to prove that THIS Billy is not deserving of a Championship Title… And if you wanna prove that you are and that this pathetic attempt at a redemption arc is an actual thing… you will put that Heritage Title on the line.”

This gets a boo in response as the fans feel Ford has done nothing to earn a Championship title shot especially on hIs first official match back.

Bryan Ford - “And Third…. Well… you just have to survive… what happens next.”

Billy raises an eyebrow making a confused expression as the Security now Close in looking to try and cause harm to Billy as Ford smirks. Before any of the security guards could do anything, Billy runs forward and hits one of the guards with his Heritage Championship! As all the guards spring into action, Billy hits a Chicago Blackout on a second guard. One guard runs at him, but he catches them with IMPERIUM!!! Another guard charges at Billy, but he ducks it and hits a spear on the guard that was backing his attacker up. The final guard turns around, but Danielson hooks him in a full-nelson and hits a BILLY BOMB! Billy looks at Ford and decides to make an example out of that fi AL guard. As the guard tries to sit-up, Billy hits him with a CHICAGO BLACKOUT!!! Danielson isn't done though, as he picks that guard back up and hits THE FRANCHISE!!! Danielson hypes up the fans as he looks around for his microphone.

Billy Danielson - “You want a title match at The Anniversary show? YOU'VE GOT IT!!! And you better hope you’re…”

Billy counts the bodies laying around him in the ring.

Billy Danielson - “5x better than these goons you picked out, or you'll be easier to survive than this was!”

Billy drops the mic to a big pop. Ford tries to slide in and grab the Heritage title as it was laying on the mat. Billy stops him, nearly curbstoming Ford in the process. The intervier turned challenger backs away slowly as Danielson stands tall. The fans cheer for Billy, but his gaze never leaves Bryan Ford.
