WotR failed yesterday. It's happened before, but this particular failure had more finality to it, since it came on the back of MM and Undisputed Title failures as well.

I've been in UCA for a long time and contributed more than anybody in that time. But those contributions, in an environment like this, lead to the creation of enemies. They were fun rivalries at the time, but old wounds don't heal so easily and that translates to my strength in matches. It's a problem...to have been around for so long and to have shared such personal, but exciting rivalries with so many. Eventually that catches up to you.

But maybe that's not it. Maybe the reason for those recent failures is born out of the desire to prevent me from reaching 1000 days as champ, my sole aim. Well, it worked. Even though I can technically still do it, by the time Combat rolls around it will have become an impossibility - I will have run out of time.

And this is a lesson in humility. I have achieved accolades, plural, in UCA that are literally unmatched by anybody else on the planet. You already know them, god knows I've mentioned them enough. But suffice to say I am B8UCA's greatest ever competitor and contributor - better than Boko, better than eddv or Jakyl or Solio or ZSig or Tom or Korayashi, and especially better than DP.

And the reason for that is my ruthless single-mindedness and desire to be remembered as exactly that. I have pursued greatness and have never failed in any of my goals - except this latest one, to reach 1000 days as champion.

Frankly, I wish I had failed earlier. It was at first hard to deal with but as I contemplated it, I felt a wave of humility and acceptance and purpose.

I have enough. I have enough accolades. Maybe a few years back I would have booked myself in two title matches, since holding two titles at once would allow me to reach that precious target. That's the single-mindedness I was talking about. But this time I will attempt to accept this rare feeling, this feeling of failure, with grace and humility.

You, the voters, have made it clear you don't think I should have 1000 days. A year ago I railed against UCA voters. This time I will simply nod and accept it. I will not hunt championships any longer.

I officially withdraw myself from all championship matches from now until the end of B8UCA.

Now is the time to make the most of what little time we have left, and that's what I plan to do. The only exception to the above statement is if I win the UCA Rumble - because who on earth would turn down the chance to main event the UCA's final show?

But presuming that doesn't happen, I want to find peace and enjoyment and happiness from now until the end. Tranquilo, I suppose.
