The tron plays a scene of the Hollywood walk of fame going by slowly, the shadow of a raven seen over each and every star that’s there.

GREATEST
OF
ALL
TIME


"Born for Greatness" by Papa Roach plays as the crowd buzzes, as the crowd goes nuts. 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!!!

NO WE'RE NOT NAMELESS
WE'RE NOT FACELESS
WE WERE BORN FOR GREATNESS!!!


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 a t-shirt and 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 make noise as he motions for a microphone.

Billy Danielson - As many of you know, my return to this company has not been as great as I had hoped it would be. I had a falling out with a close friend, Chris Constantine Jr., after doing what I thought was best, and we were in the process of signing numerous contracts leading up to numerous matches, culminating at Heroes and Outlaws in a celebration of my 5 years in this business.

The crowd cheers, because UWL is the place where Billy made his debut in 2015.

Billy Danielson - But here’s the thing… Chris and I realized we didn’t need to fight. We realized our friendship was a lot stronger than whatever petty feud we had going on, so instead of settling in the ring, we settled it like TRUE men and settled in court. I threw some money his way, he threw some money my way and at the end of the day we were better men for it. Now Chris is on a break from UWL after being a great champion and when he comes back I will still be in his corner like the good brother I am.

The crowded didn’t seem to enthused at the fact that Billy and Chris didn’t end up having their match, but then again, when has Billy ever truly cared about what they thought? Chris was future-endeavored anyways, so it wasn’t going to be much of a match. Billy just shrugs and smirks

Billy Danielson - However, until that day I gotta find some new traction. I didn’t get my 5 year celebration match at Heroes and Outlaws, so starting tonight and every night… I will be celebrating as much as I can by having my very own OPEN CHALLENGE!!!

The fans seem a lot more interested in Billy now as he takes his shirt off and smirks.

Billy Danielson - Yes, folks, this is the first match in the Billy Danielson 5 Year Celebration Open Challenge!!! So without further ado, someone get out here and fight me!!!

The crowd erupts as they wait for whomever will answer Billy’s call. Suddenly “Jerusalem” by Emerson, Lake and Palmer begins to play as the screen flashes

R!!! D!!! 3!!!

The crowd erupts as they are expecting Billy’s first ever rival in UWL, Reginald Dampshaw III, but in reality it’s just some jobber dressed like him and named RD3 that steps out. RD3 tries to hype the crowd, but BOY do they hate both him and Billy right now. Billy just laughs as the scrawny caricature of who people would've liked to see steps into the ring and tries to hype himself up.

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

Cliff Morris – I have a feeling this match isn’t going to go the full fifteen minutes…

Logan Acker – What could have possibly given you that idea?

The bell rings, and they don’t even get a circle or a handshake. Billy hits RD3 with a big Chicago Blackout, before hitting him with an Imperium Ura Nage. Billy drags RD3 over to the center of the ring and flexes over his body asking if the people aren’t entertained. They react negatively as Billy lifts the jobber up for The Franchise and covers him for a pin.

Logan Acker - I guess he doesn’t get paid by the hour...

Cliff Morris - I wonder if that poor kid does though...

Emily Lyle - The winner of this match Billy Danielson!!!

Billy raises his hands and places his foot on top of the downed RD3. The crowd boos, but Billy is busy pretending it’s all cheers anyways, so it’s like he’ll notice anyways. He leaves the ring still celebrating his soft-fought win as he goes to the back.

The show cuts to a break.

Abby Joseph: AJ, at Heroes and Outlaws you lost in a hard fought bout against Robb Daniels, but of special interest was what happened prior to the match. Do you have any idea what that attack was about?

AJ shrugs

AJ Knight: I have no idea to be honest. This Kalidah is not the man I've come to know well over the years. He's just some kind of feral monster. Lotte's... done something to him, I'm not sure who she is or what she did, but that wasn't Eli just then. I promise you this though: I'm going to get my answer one way or another.

Abby Joseph: By virtue of his Television title victory, the two of you are on a collision course for Starrzone. Do you have any thoughts on the match?

AJ Knight: Look, whatever Lotte did to Eli, Kalidah took the world championship away from me. Of course I'm going to be out for revenge. I'm taking his belt, and I'm going to knock some sense into him. Lotte, Kalidah, I'm going to tell you both right now: If you think you're going to put me down so easily, it's not quite the same, when I'm looking you in the eye right across the ring. And let's not forget, no matter how you've been reprogrammed, no matter how you've changed, you're still Eli Buchanan under that mask. and we've both been down this road countless times. And we both know how that story ends.

Abby Joseph: Thank you for your time.

AJ stretches out his injured leg as Abby walks away, he is approached by the ringside physician.

Doctor: AJ, you really shouldn't be going out there tonight, give it another two weeks. Your knee is messed up pretty bad at Heroes and Outlaws. I don't think anybody would blame you.

AJ gives him a look of irritation.

AJ Knight: I'm cleared right?

He nods

Doctor: Barely.

AJ Knight: Then that's good enough.

AJ limps away, towards the ramp.

Following the match, Jackson Burnside is walking backstage with a grin on his face. There's a white towel thrown over his shoulder; he is covered in sweat and breathing hard, but his head his held high and the confidence we didn't see earlier tonight has returned. Abbey Joseph is waiting for the Superbeast as be emerges from gorilla for a quick interview.

Abbey Joseph: "Jackson! That was a huge win over AJ Knight, and I know it was something you were really hoping for after failing to run the gauntlet. How are you feeling."

Jackson takes a minute to collect his thoughts, breathing heavily.

Jackson Burnside: "Abbey brother, i kind feel like a clown for doubting myself. It's true I was unable to run the gauntlet over the last few shows, but my win out there a few moments ago against AJ Knight was just a reminder to everybody that I don't lie down and quit because of a minor set-back. My momma didn't raise me to be a quitter, because that would be a waste of all this intensity and motivation standing in front of you. I crushed and overcome AJ Knight tonight for all the brothers out there who believe in me brother, and I also did it for myself."

Abbey Joseph: "So what's next for Jackson Burnside?... I assume Arch Stanton?"

At the mention of the big man who ended his run in the Gauntlet series Jackson smiles, lowers his head and nods. He can't help but let out a quick chuckle. While he answers the question he starts rubbing his hands together.

Jackson Burnside: "Yeah Arch Stanton... I was hoping for some big things off the back of Bryan Moltres. TV Title, US Title? Wouldn't that have been a sight brother. But see I had to win the Gauntlet, but Arch had to get a handfull of the old Burnside jewels to bring me down. That got me thinking though, what better way to really establish myself than to beat up that big oaf. He knows it's coming, but I have to put Arch on notice. You know me brother, I have to make things right. I'm coming for Arch Stanton."
