Ladies and Gentlemen, over the past number of weeks, we have watched as a number of UWA wrestlers competed in a number of different events and activities.
It was the Trinatas Open, and it was designed to determine who would be the #1 contender for the United Wrestling Alliance World Heavyweight Championship.
On the Rontron a number of scenes begin to play out, telling the tale of the Trinatas Open. It shows Trinatas appearing in the ring, calling out the would-be contestants. It shows Ringo being the one being left without a partner, eliminating him as a competitor. It shows the address Trinatas made, showing that Nicky Mills lost at making the right picks. Next it shows the hellish structure known simply as the Cathedral. It then shows the events of that match, as Mike Furious, Cortez Prodigy, Spitfly and Doc Placebo’s minion battle it out, with Furious coming out victorious.
It then goes to the match that would decide the number 1 contender. It shows a graphic of the match, with Furious, Freedom Morelez, Ten Minute Major and X-Kalibur displayed in each corner. The events of the match play out, with Morelez no-showing, Furious leaving the ring so that Xkal can win, and the battle between Major and Xkal. It goes into slow-motion as it shows Trinatas go into the ring and hit X-Kalibur with the Fires of Gehenna. Major picks up the pin-fall, and he has his arm raised in victory, shortly before hit with a Fires of Gehenna himself.
After weeks of speculation of who would emerge, the obvious underdog was the man left standing.
Now he gets the dream of a life-time: another shot at the World title, in the main event of Injustice for All.
The camera starts to pan around the stadium, showing the fans packed in tight. They have been hyped for most of the show, and they are antsy for what is next to come.

JW: Ladies and gentlemen, it is now time for the main event of the evening, and is for the UWA World Heavyweight Championship!
The crowd gives a big pop.
Now, the rules for the match are as follows: there is no count-out. There are no rope breaks. And this match is a best of three falls match. Now, for the competitors.

He has the whole country behind him in this match.
Yes, but will it be enough?
Major’s music fades out, and 10MM starts to pace around the ring. Then, “These Filthy Hands” by Mushroomhead begins to play. The children’s voices come on as the house lights dim. Then the piano starts to play, and red pyro starts to fall like snow down from the top of the Rontron.
JW: Coming to the ring next, he is the current reigning and defending World Heavyweight Champion. Standing 6 foot 2 and weighing in at 225 pounds…………….. TRINATAS!
Trinatas, The One with Many Names, walks out onto the stage with the World title around his waist. He lets the red sparks float down on him as the fans boo with their hearts content. He then walks purposefully down to the ring.

So does Ten Minute Major.
