It's been an interesting forty-eight hours; I went into the Rumble believing I could genuinely win it all, and while maybe that was wishful thinking all along, it still hurt to know that it was not meant to be.

The last thing you want to do after something like that is to dwell on things, but I'd like to think, in cases like these in the past, that introspection has gone on to bring me to new heights in the future, and one last look inward before the curtains finally close couldn't hurt, right?

The thought that stuck out to me most was of my past promos; of all the times I came out here, and spoke in a matter or on an issue that we frequently haven't seen here in the UCA, at least in my time here. It's that last point that I constantly seen replayed in my head. Not the entire sentence, no, but the very end, "at least in my time here".

It feels like every time I come out here and talk about my accomplishments, or something great that I was a part of, I've always added that final idea in, as if to confirm to myself that what I've done isn't relevant to the greater UCA lore. Mostly out of respect. I mean, I can't really stand here and talk trash about a time that I know very little about, right?

But something about those words, and the frequency in which I repeated them, made me realize that I was wrong. I am relevant. Maybe not to some - those who weren't a part of my incredible run - but to those who truly care, how could they think otherwise? Sure, my two years here is only a small portion of the ten, and sure, the "big names of the past" may not have been a part of those two years, but we've got our own big names. Guys who were here, carving their own paths, continuing to make names for themselves. When we all pack up and close shop, many will remember the fond memories of a decade past, but equally as many people will cherish the new moments created in the last twenty months. Moments as relevant as any.

If you're still listening to my ramble, I promise there is a point to all the madness. It's tough to create new memories when you've got the same fifteen guys rotating through, and in my time here, only two people have managed to break through as a beginner, carve their own path, and become successful.

The first is myself. The second? Emeraldegg.

The UCA is an old boy's club, through and through, and a look at the Rumble and tonight will confirm that theory. Yet somehow, through that staunch brotherhood, Emerald and I have still managed to become and stay relevant.

As much as the thought of a feud for a title or with the best of the past is appetizing, in my head, the only thing that makes sense is Emeraldegg and Davidponte at Epopmania, one on one. The last two great newcomers. Two men who, despite the odds, managed to succeed.

This is my match. This is how I want to see it end. In my time here, the feeling of a new feud was the best feeling of all, and new feuds only ever occurred because of Emerald and myself. It's time for the final new feud. The one to end them all.

Over the next few weeks, before a potential final showdown, I'd like to celebrate moments of my past, and moments, albeit brief, where Emerald and I have crossed paths before.

And then? Epopmania.
