Pathway To Greatness

Pathway To Greatness is an American documentary series directed by Cristian Knight, as well as produced and distributed by Ultimate Showcase Wrestling. The series follows the day-to-day lives of each performer involved in the main event of the year's Call To Greatness event the series takes place in. The series debuted in 2019, following the daily journeys of then-USW Champion James, Phillip Akron, and then-Red Belt Champion Zack Hardy, who competed in the Three Way Dance match for the USW Championship in the main event of Call To Greatness XIV: Chicago.
The first season of the series featured twelve episodes, with much praise for each individual episode from multiple critics. The series has been praised for allowing viewers an in-depth look at the real lives of some of their favorite USW performers. With the show featuring the participants in what USW calls their "biggest main event of the calendar year", many of the show's participants are of the most popular for the promotion that year, often times allowing viewers a look into the stress and impact that the immense popularity has taken on them in regards to their career and personal lives.
In August 2019, Ultimate Showcase Wrestling confirmed that the series had been renewed for a second season, set to be filmed in April 2020, and set to be aired in the following June. Following a successful season following George Martin and Suzuki Kirokashi amidst the 2019-2020 Coronavirus Pandemic, Ultimate Showcase Wrestling renewed the series for a third season. Following a third season following Paul Orlando and Norris Cadavery, the series was renewed for a fourth season. The fourth season, which marked James' second appearance on the show and Chain Reaction's first, earned a renewal from Ultimate Showcase Wrestling for a fifth season, which would premiere on American subscription channel Fuse in 2023, following Zac Ardin and relative newcomer to the company, Drake Veller.
