Emily Lyle - The winner of this match, Joseph Lincoln!!

The show cuts to a break.

“Uplift” plays over the loudspeaker. Cyrus Rinaldi marches down the aisle in a suit.

Emily Lyle: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, the #1 contender to the World Heavyweight Championship, Cyrus Rinaldi!

Cliff Morris: Shouldn’t he be getting ready for the “I Quit” match later on tonight?

Logan Acker: I guess he’s got something to say.

Cliff Morris: When does this guy never have something to say?

Logan Acker: Good point.

Rinaldi enters the ring and demands a microphone. He stands in the middle of the ring, scanning the crowd as his music fades. He takes in the moment before putting the microphone up to his mouth. Some fans chant “RIN-AL-DI,” but most boo him.

Cyrus Rinaldi: I guess the first thing I should say is, Happy 19th Anniversary, UWL.

It’s important to look towards the future, but you do have to recognize the past as well, and appreciate the people who paved the way for you.

When it comes to UWL, there are a lot of people who kept this place afloat for 19 years.

People like the first World Champion, Jason Christopher, or Josh Eagles, or Caleb Hart, or Chris Constantine, or Robb Daniels.

People like Jay Jefferson and Bryan Crews.

People like Jackson Burnside, or Billy Danielson, or my friend Cory Chevelle, or even…Daron Smythe.

I truly appreciate how they have kept UWL going all these years. Without them, there may not be a UWL today, and perhaps, I wouldn’t be standing in this ring right now.

The crowd applauds.

Cyrus Rinaldi: But 19 years from now, when UWL is holding it’s 38th Anniversary Celebration, who will UWL be celebrating? Who will they recognize as one of the greats, as one of the people that graced this ring and made this promotion money? Who will be on UWL’s Mount Rushmore?

It shouldn’t come as any surprise as to who that person will be.

Me.

Most fans boo while some cheer.

Cyrus Rinaldi: It’d be great if I could get that recognition on this occasion, because Lord knows I should have been here a long time ago, but I can’t change the past. All I can do is affect the future, and in the future, my name is going to be the first to come to people’s minds when they’re asked to name the greatest UWL wrestler of all time!

They’ll say “Cyrus Rinaldi was exactly what he said he was. He was The Total Wrestler. He talked the talk and he walked the walk. In all facets of the professional wrestling game, he was head and shoulders above everybody else. He had the skill, he had the ability, he had the mouth, and he had the swagger that is necessary to be the best in this sport. He was the standard that everyone else had to meet. In a promotion with a lot of great wrestlers, he was at the top of the mountain. He was the kingfish. He was the true #1! He was the true GOAT!”

The boos drown out the cheers as he continues to quote imaginary people.

Cyrus Rinaldi: “He was the pride of UWL! He was everything UWL needed! He was the supreme representation of everything UWL- and this business- stood for!”

More booing.

Cyrus Rinaldi: You can boo all you want, but 19 years from now, that’s exactly what all of you are going to be saying, whether you hate to admit it or not!

Vociferous booing.

Cyrus Rinaldi: This place is about to enter a Golden Age, and when the wrestling historians write the history of UWL, they are going to cite November 16, 2024 as the night when that Golden Age began!

Raucous booing.

Cyrus Rinaldi: Two things are going to happen tonight! The first is that I am going to win the World Heavyweight Championship from Daron Smythe!

Clamorous booing.

Cyrus Rinaldi: The championship that should have been mine two months ago is finally going to be strapped around my rightful waist! The image of The Total Wrestler holding the premiere World Championship in all of professional wrestling will finally be able to be published in promotional material and websites and magazines and newspapers all over the world! A man who truly deserves to be recognized for all the sacrifices he has made for this sport will finally get that recognition!

The World Championship is everything I have worked for the last 20 years, and nothing in this sport will be right until I am holding it! No one deserves it more than me! NO ONE!

Voluble booing.

Cyrus Rinaldi: The second thing that is going to happen tonight is that Daron Smythe is going to say the words that he knows to say better than anybody else: “I QUIT!”

Strident booing.

Cyrus Rinaldi: And the reason why it’s so important for Daron Smythe to say “I quit” is because in my Golden Age, there is no room for a person like Daron Smythe!

Enthusiastic booing.

Cyrus Rinaldi: I’ll give Daron Smythe his props. He’s a former Television Champion. He’s a two-time World Champion. He’s wrestled in some classic battles here in UWL. And maybe, just maybe, was the #1 for a while.

Daron, I know you’ve been wanting me to say this to you for a few months. So, on the night of your extinction, I will finally say to you...
.
...“Thank you.”

But like I said, this is the night of your extinction.

You WILL say “I quit,” and everybody, from the fans watching this to the boys and girls in the back, will finally see you for what you really are. The fans will reject you because they can’t support a man who doesn’t have the guts to keep fighting. The boys and girls in the back will reject you because they wouldn’t be able to stomach being led by someone as weak as you. You won’t be able to show your face in UWL. You’ll head back to the mountains and go teach a bunch of one-toothed Appalachian hillbillies!

Enthusiastic booing.

Cyrus Rinaldi: And as an aside, I hope you’re going to teach them sex ed. so they’ll know how to use birth control and not reproduce the next generation of mouth breathers!

There aren’t enough adjectives to describe the kind of booing happening right now. 

Cyrus Rinaldi: And as you make you’re way out of this place, everybody will follow me in thanking you for your service. Then, we will all swiftly kick your ass out the door because you won’t fit in here in UWL anymore! There won’t be a place for a man like you! You will be a reminder of what UWL USED TO BE, not of what it WILL BE!

Cyrus waits for the booing to die down before calmly concluding his diatribe.

Cyrus Rinaldi: You can celebrate the past while acknowledging that you can’t live in it. Change is necessary for survival. Evolution is what’s meant to happen. Progress is what moves the gears of the world.

Change. Evolution. Progress.

That’s what’s going to happen tonight.

He pauses before shouting one more time.

Cyrus Rinaldi: So welcome to the 19th Anniversary Celebration!

Welcome to the dawn of a new day!

Welcome to the Golden Age of UWL!

Led by yours truly:

CYRUS

F---ING

RINALDI.

He slams the microphone down, leaves the ring, and marches up the aisle.

Cliff Morris: This guy has become unglued!

Logan Acker: He’s obsessed with making Daron Smythe say “I quit” and ridding UWL of Smythe forever!

Cliff Morris: Well, if I know one thing, Daron Smythe is not going to make it easy for Cyrus Rinaldi! I don’t know what we have in store for tonight, but I shudder to think about the damage these two men are going to cause to each other!

"The beginning is the end is the beginning" begins playing throughout the Civic Coliseum. Fans immediately start booing and expressing themselves as UWL Tag team champions, BRADDOCK and Cory Chevelle make their way out on the ramp. Chevelle and Braddock stop at the top of the stage and observe the crowd for a moment before they both have raise the tag titles and continue down the ramp.

Cliff Morris:
Well here comes our tag team champions who we'llater see in action tonight against Jackson Burnside and Tony Rios.

Logan Acker:
And at the last edition of Eruption we saw them sent packing as Tony Rios came down and made the save.

Cliff Morris:
But not before they could unleash a violent assault on UWL Television champion, Jackson Burnside.

Chevelle and Braddock make their way down to the ring. Chevelle is first to enter as he hops up to the apron and cuts in through the ropes. Braddock follows in behind him, sliding into the ring.

Chevelle then receives a mic from ringside and turns to the crowd.

Cory Chevelle:
Shut yer mouths trailer trash! Because before you stands unrivaled GREATNESS!

The boos get even louder..

Braddock:
HEY I BELIEVE THE MAN SAID SHUT YOUR MOUTHS!

"YOU SUCK!" chants begin around the Coliseum. Chevelle looks at Braddock and laughs.

Cory Chevelle:
Alright Knoxville.. let's get down to business, shall we? First of all I'd like to say it's an honor to be at yet another annual celebration show, nineteen years is a hell of a journey!

Chevelle pauses, looks down at the ground then shrugs and looks back up at the crowd.

Cory Chevelle:
But I didn't come out here to say all that! I came out here because tonight, for some reason beyond me we have to defend our tag team titles against a pair of sorry sonsabitches other wise know as "Trashcan piss" Jackson Burnside and "El Blanco Chimichanga", Tony Rios! And I-

Chevelle is drowned out by the crowd as they begin chanting "BORING!" He looks around, telling them to shut the hell up but the crowd has no chill about it.

Braddock:
Hey! Rios! Hope you enjoyed your five minutes of game because tonight we find out how bad you really are when you don't have a chair!

Cliff Morris:
That's rich considering Chevelle used an illegal chain to defeat Jackson Burnside in their last match.

Braddock:
I'm gonna really enjoy our time tonight puddin'.

Cory Chevelle:
Whoa, hold on there Braddock. Go easy on the kid, he didn't know any better. Back to what I was saying though... What was I saying? Ah ya know what it's Knoxville, who cares. These people forget they're not Memphis. Jackson Burnside and Tony Rios huh. So apparently to get a shot at the titles around here all ya need to do is get your ass whipped and have a partner who's clearly eager to die a hero. Is that what you want, Tony?

To die a hero..

Because son after that last Eruption I gotta tell ya... You're on your way! And for Jackson Burnside of all people! But hey you know what, okay..okay. Everyone's gotta make a name for themselves some how right? Jackson's made his. He's a future hall of famer hands down! But that's all that's in your future Jackson, especially by the time I..No, WE get through with you. See Tony in case you weren't fully aware of the beef you're inheriting, lemme bring ya up to speed. Jackson Burnside is an old dog long last his prime who thought it'd be a good idea to dust off the ol mantle by coming picking a fight with me.

And we've had fight..after fight....after fight, haven't we?

Braddock:
It never goes in his favor either...

Cory Chevelle:
Well, now, hold on. Braddock, Jackson Burnside is actually one of what? Two people here that's beaten me? Three? I don't know, I don't lose very often but when I have it's either been JB or Daron Smythe...

The crowd pops

Cory Chevelle:
But more times than not, I've whipped that ass Jerry curls and all!

Braddock:
And tonight ain't gonna be any different! Because WE are the tag champions and WE run this division now!

Cory Chevelle:
Most importantly folks... WE are gonna change this company in OUR image! To our liking! And there ain't a pair of you sonsabitches back there who got the sack to stop us. Excuse me... Except Jackson and Rios apparently. And I mean hell, can those two really trust each other? How functional will you two truly be as a team?

Because Braddock and I.. we've been at this for a while now! Unlike you we weren't thrown together by circumstance and then decided one day "Durf, I wanna go for da tag team titles toooo!"

Logan Acker:
What impression was that?

Cliff Morris:.
I'm not sure and I don't think we want to know.

Cory Chevelle:
You boys don't know what you've got yourselves into. So let me be the first to say... Welcome to Silverback country Tony! And Jackson...

Chevelle grins.

Cory Chevelle:
It ain't over til it's over, BITCH!

Chevelle and Braddock drop their mics and leave the ring.

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

The show cuts to a break.

Jenna Jillian Walker is walking into the Civic Coliseum with a smile on her face as she has her bag over her left shoulder and her UWL North American Tag Team Championship belt is over her right shoulder. Abby Joseph approaches Jenna…

Abby Joseph - Hey Jenna, can I get a word with you?

Jenna Jillian Walker - Of course, Abby.

Abby Joseph - First, congratulations on becoming one half of the North American Tag Team Champions.

Jenna Jillian Walker - Thank you.

Abby Joseph - Tonight you and LaToya are making your first title defense against the Vixens. How are you feeling going into the match?

Jenna Jillian Walker - I’m feeling great, Abby. LaToya and I have gelled pretty well, hence us holding these championships.

Jenna glaces at her championship belt.

Abby Joseph - I would say so. Did you expect this so quickly?

Jenna Jillian Walker - Not at all. One could hope so but you never really know till you are out there under the lights and in front of the crowd. The Vixens are no doubt a great team. From what I understand they have been best friends for decades and no doubt work well as a team. They have been former UWL World Tag Team Champions, so they obviously can hold their own but ladies, LaToya and I have just got these championships. We have no intention of losing them anytime soon, much less on our first title defense.

Tony Rios is preparing backstage at the Civic Center in UWL’s longtime hometown of Knoxville, Tennessee. His TWN Championship can be seen on the top shelf of a locker behind him. He’s just in the middle of pulling up the straps to his singlet when the door can be heard opening. Tony looks up and smiles. His partner enters the scene with Harlan DuBois. Burnside is already dressed to go and has his UWL TV Championship over his shoulder. He slaps Rios hard on the shoulder and grins stupidly.

Jackson Burnside:
“There he is! Mr. TWN Champ, you read to rock and roll tonight, brother?”

Harlan extends a hand to Rios, and he accepts with firm handshake. After he silently greeting DuBois Tony looks at his partner for the night.

Tony Rios:
“I’m amped up. I mean, this is huge ain’t it? UWL’s 19 Year Celebration, you and me challenging for the UWL Tag Team Titles. I only came into this company a few months ago, and now here I am. Teaming up with a former World Champion, the guy everyone loves! UWL’s Weratherman!”

Jackson Burnside:
“Love the enthusiasm, jack!”

DuBois interjects.

Harlan DuBois:
“And, Mr. Rios don’t sell yourself short. You came into UWL with a rocket on your back and it’s marvelous to see what you’ve done in such a short time. You’re here tonight because you’ve earned this opportunity. You’ve earned the trust of myself, and of Mr. Burnside here.” He points to each man. “The two of you have the rare opportunity to do something extraordinary, and very, very special tonight.”

Tony Rios:
“Double Champs. That’d be one hell of a way to cap off the year, right? TV Champ Jackson Burnside, TWN Champ Tony Rios, and UWL Tag Team Champions…”

Tony trails off upon the realization they don’t have a team name. Burnside pushes through unabated.

Jackson Burnside:
“Well look brother, I don’t want to pop the champagne yet. The two of us, individually we’re two tough SOBs right? More importantly two weeks ago man, you provide to me what Harlan here was sayin’. You’ve got a heavy set of brass balls and when you make a promise you stick with it. Tonight might be the first time we’ve ever had a match together dude, but I trust you. You earned it. So we got skill and we got the trust, that’s a good thing.”

Tony Rios:
“I feel like you’re about to add a ‘but’ to that?”

Harlan DuBois clears his throat. He exchanges a look with Burnside and something non-verbal passes between the two of them. DuBois steps forward and positions himself between Rios and Burnside. Not a small man himself, but DuBois is dwarfed by the two men on either side of him.

Harlan DuBois:
“I think, what Mr. Burnside is getting at… Cory Chevelle and BRADDOCK have been a team for awhile now. They’ve been running amok beating up whoever they want even before then.”

Burnside crosses his arms.

Jackson Burnside:
“Tell me about it.”

Harlan DuBois:
“Tonight, the two of you aren’t up against some local boys. This isn’t an issue of strange bedfellows, you aren’t up against another team that has zero experience working together. Vulgar Display of Power is a name that Cory Chevelle and BRADDOCK earned. The two of them are a ferocious, violent, well-oiled machine that’ll take anything that comes at it and grind it into a fine paste. I think that if anyone can defeat them it’s you two,” Once again DuBois points to each of them, ‘but it will require ruthless efficiency, pure determination, and there is zero – I emphasize ZERO room for mistakes.”

Tony takes it in, nodding his head.

Tony Rios:
“Harlan man, you aren’t telling me something I don’t already know. I watch the show, I see what those two do and I see what they were gonna do to Jackson two weeks ago. But I’m not scared, and my daddy taught me never to back down from a fight. Tonight we’re here in Knoxville to do a job, and that ain’t the job if you catch my drift.”

Burnside smiles.

Jackson Burnside:
“I want to bring them down more than you know, brother. I think you’re just the guy to help me get it done. Tony, we don’t know each other too well yet. I dunno about you, but I know Harlan feels the same way as me: I’m a Godly man. And ya see, I think God had something in mind when we led Harlan DuBois to my side, because that led me to you. Something was set into motion the night Cory left me a bloody heap in the parking lot. Between the three of us, I think it’s ordained that you and I, Tony Rios and Jackson Burnside, are gonna be the ones to bring down Vulgar Display of Power

Tony Rios:
“Now that’s passion I like to see, and I can tell my the look in your eyes it’s sincere.” Tony squares up to Burnside and places both of his hands on his partners shoulders. “I’m fight as hard as I’ve ever fought and give it my all in the ring. I don’t have the history with Chevy, but I want it just as badly as you do. See I got something to prove. That’s that Tony Rios is the real deal. That I am the Main Attraction, and a future UWL World Champion.” He let’s go of Jackson’s shoulders and holds up one finger. “And that’s future. As for tonight, I’m thinking future Tag Team Champion.”

DuBois claps his hands together.

Harlan DuBois:
“Then that’s it.” He inhales deeply. “I can smell it in the air, feel the electricity in this building. I can feel it in my bones; something big is going to happen tonight. Something… historic.”

Both Burnside and Rios nod in agreement.

Tony Rios:
“There is, one thing though. One, small little problem.”

Jackson Burnside:
“What’s that?”

Tony Rios:
“We need a name.” Burnside raises hie eyebrows. “C’mon man, all the best teams have a name. The Mega Powers, huh? Come on, the Road Warriors? You’re all about the showmanship aren’t ya? We can’t go out there as ‘Tony Rios and Jackson Burnside.’”

Burnside rubs his chin. He doesn’t think for long before an idea comes to mind.

Jackson Burnside:
“The Newsroom!” Harlan is now behind Burnside, and the big man doesn’t see him shake his head. Tony is just confused by the name. “You know, I’m the Weatherman? You’re the… Sports, yeah that’s no good…”

Tony snaps his fingers.

Tony Rios:
“How about the Knockout Krew? We can spell it with two Ks and every week change our name to the town we’re in. So tonight, we’re the Knoxville Knockout Krew?”

Tony smiles, oblivious. Burnside winces, Harlan facepalms.

Jackson Burnside:
“You might want to think about that one.”

Burnside turns around and looks at DuBois. They share a “what was that?” look, and Rios thinks about his name. It finally dawns on him and he says “oh” to himself. Now it’s Harlan’s turn to proposition a name.

Harlan DuBois:
“How about the Gentleman Callers?”

Rios and Burnside are stonefaced. They respond to Harlan at the same exact time.

Tony Rios / Jackson Burnside:
“That’s terrible. / What? No, that’s…”

DuBois throws his hands up and walks away.

Jackson Burnside:
“Forget the name. How about we focus on getting the job done brother, and we can think of a name once each of us has another title belt to carry around?”

Tony Rios:
“I can agree to that.” Rios grabs the TWN Championship out of the locker room. He holds it up a little bit in front of him. “Let’s line ‘em up.”

Burnside raises the TV Championship and clinks it into the TWN title belt.

Jackson Burnside:
“And knock ‘em down.”

Although they lack a name, and although this is their first match together, Jackson Burnside and Tony Rios seem to be on the same page. The challengers are thinking on the same wavelength and may just have the individual talent to work together and become UWL Tag Team Champions. The only thing standing in their way is Vulgar Display of Power.

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



Emily Lyle - The following contest is set for one fall with a forty five minute time limit and the UWL Heritage Championship!

The lights cut off for a second as the fans begin to murmur amongst themselves when the following words are heared over the loudspeaker.

"WELCOME... TO THE BRYAN. FORD. SHOW"

DNA by Kendrick Lamar blares over the speakers as Bryan Ford comes out in an all white jacket and shades on his face. He's seen speaking inaudible to the cameras but clearly the energy is electric as he walks down the ramp with a certain Swagger.

Emily Lyle - From Los Angeles, California, weighing two hundred and forty five pounds, Bryan Ford!

He jumps onto the apron wiping his feet before climbing the top turnbuckle and taking a seat onto as he surveys the crowd With a shit eating grin.



The crowd is buzzing when 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, Billy "The G.O.A.T." Danielson walks out from behind the curtain to a huge pop, as he makes his way down to the ring. He's in wrestling gear, high-fiving fans as he makes his way to the ring. He wipes his feet before going up to the apron, and into the ring. The fans continue to cheer as Danielson throws his arms in the air. He slowly backs into his corner and waits for the bell to ring.



Danielson walks around the ring.

Cliff Morris - We’re ready for our next match up. Billy Danielson looks to make history as he defends the Heritage Championship against Bryan Ford in our next match up.

Logan Acker - That’s right, Billy Danielson looks to make history. Not only is he the longest reigning Heritage Champion of all time, and if he’s able to get the win he’ll set the record of defenses for the Heritage Championship.

The referee calls for the bell. Ford gets the advantage running from his corner, nailing Danielson with a running clothesline, followed by a pair of repeated short jabs, which stuns him. Ford grabs Danielson around his wrist to send him to the ropes. Danielson stands his ground and kicks Ford, stunning him. Danielson sends Ford into the ropes. He hits off the ropes. Danielson leans over, throwing Ford up and down with a back body drop. Danielson goes back off the ropes. He runs at the fallen Ford for a jumping elbow drop, but Ford rolls out of the way and Danielson crashes into the mat. Danielson grabs his arm, his arm grimaced in pain. Ford runs off the ropes back at Danielson and nails him with a running knee, which stuns him.
