Call To Greatness XII

Call To Greatness XII was a professional wrestling pay per view produced by Ultimate Showcase Wrestling that took place on April 30, 2017. The event was hosted by both the Wednesday Night Intensity and Friday Night Severity brands, effectively making the pay per view a dual-main event show as well. The Wednesday Night Intensity main event featured James challenging Morbid, who was on a losing streak at the Call To Greatness event in recent years, at the request of Morbid. The Friday Night Severity main event featured Austin Atomic defending the World Heavyweight Championship against Majagetta, who had earned the opportunity by winning the Gauntlet match at the Insanity event the previous January. The Atomic/Majagetta match was heavily praised by critics, who claimed it was "one of the greatest wrestling matches in the promotion's history."
The event received overwhelmingly positive reviews, with many critics claiming that it could be the pay per view that pushes Ultimate Showcase Wrestling into mainstream media. The event was covered by networks, including ESPN and VICE, the latter of whom conducted an interview with Derrick Carter for a mini-documentary that would be released the following-September. The event opened with the national anthem, which was performed by Ryn Weaver.
The event was notable for multiple events; including the first pay per view match with Suzuki Kirokashi, Tanner Wallace and Blaine North united as a group, effectively becoming the USW pay per view debut of the Promise Land. The event has also been referred to as the event that made James a main event-level performer, as the main event spot against Morbid was seen as a large sign of trust from the company in James, which would be proven true as James would defeat Zack Hardy at No Forgiveness the following year to become the USW Champion. Ezarank Hills would also defeat Derrick Carter at the event to become the new USW Champion, despite being a part of a tag team with Benny Franklin at the time, which would lead to the team's inevitable split later in the year, as well as the first step in the company trusting Ezarank Hills in the main event scene.
