MANIA PRE-SHOW!



After Mania ends I'm going to try and update the Master File, PPV File and Title Reigns Sheet. But if anyone wanted to take just one of those if they had a few minutes, that'd be amazing. But I really don't mind doing it myself as long as I can make some time on my work computer.

This is not over Oblivion. I shall explain the injustice of Electronic Pop Mania later on.

*comes to the ring with The Broken Flock behind him*

...last night, we witnessed a pile of garbage so big that it made WrestleMania 32 look like X-7 by comparison. Twelve infidels chose to support the Oblivion instead of choosing the leader of The Next World and their opinions are now null and void in the eyes of The Broken Raven. However, I've taken time to dissect this situation and that there is only one thing to blame for my loss at the Worst E-Popular of Manias...

*points to Eddvard and Machete* ...YOU

Now... The Broken Raven is still trying to determine who really is to blame amongst you two. Machete, when Young Eddvard chose you to take my place as one half of the UCA Tag Team Champions, that automatically means you denounce all support for the world outside The Broken Flock. You violated that rule when you supported Oblivion over me yesterday.

On the other hand, Young Eddvard, you are also to blame because you chose Machete to replace me as one half of the UCA Tag Team Champions. I sacrificed a sure bet as tag team champion and this is the thanks I get? I won Bound for Whiskey! I won the f***ing Ultimatum! And if I had been in the UCA Rumble, I'd have won that too! I'm a five time heavyweight champion because I absorbed all the success from that inferior Zero Signal! As far as I'm concerned, neither of you deserve to be the tag team champions right now, because I sure as hell wouldn't have lost to Tom or Boko! I made a legacy out of kicking their asses on a regular basis!

Since both of you messed up royally... and I do mean royally... then this is your only warning; everybody gets one. Afterwards, I will shut that s*** down, no exceptions. Another error like this and you will be exiled from The Broken Flock.

Oblivion... the Worst E-Popular of Manias was a fluke. And if you think you've vanquished me from the title picture, then you need to wake up and face reality. For so long as there is darkness in the heart of man, I will forever be pursuing the title, and I will never be unbroken. You have not seen the last of The Broken Raven

Some pre-results spoilers there

what the t*** are you even talking about bro? Is eddv even young? I feel like he's been around for a while so he shouldn't be young at this point. Also, for you information, I assimilated myself through sheer will into this dimension EVEN KNOWING that my space-god powers would be somewhat limited here because you people here have regular gravity as opposed to hypermagnetized-ziebnrg gravity like the dimension I'm from. I don't even know what your Broken Flock (more like Broken c*** mirite?) is and I didn't agree to any rules, and I don't know why you would insinuate that I consensually directed psychic energy at the genitals of a rule in order to make it more aroused. Do rules even HAVE genitals? Or maybe the word "violate" means something different here? I can't be bothered to look it up in an Earth dictionary.

*yawn* last guy who threatened me got 69 metric tons of hyperconcentrated gluten teleported directly into his dick. When it flew off, the ignition was so powerful that it destroyed the entire galaxy he was in. Why did he threaten me in the first place? Some stupid bulls***. He thought that just because he owned that bar, he could tell me not to steal booze from behind the counter to give to Kim Jong Un's brother's ghost, one of my several drinking buddies. The point is, I have over 9000 sleeves and you should fear what I have stashed up in each and every one of them. Try telling me "never more" with your damn beak twisted shut!

I loved every second of reading that

Here on this broken planet, I am the uncrowned king! That is all you need to know, and I will dethrone the Oblivion and take my rightful place at the top of the mountain. And when the Money in the Bank winner comes to cash in, I'll cash his ass straight to exile with Oblivion!

I skipped a few lines in that post and it somehow ended up at "Do rules even have genitals?"

I missed Caelus

I'm busy as f*** all week until Thursday. All I will say for right now is last night's result floored me in more ways that one, so I have a lot of thinking to do. I'll post again when I'm not drowning in occupational therapy, politics, and anatomy studying.

Wait, hold on, stop the music.

You know, UCA, I've had some time to think after my Money in the Bank win at Epopmania. Maybe it was the thinking, maybe it was my head getting all weird from too many ladder shots, but something feels different.

I'm not here to force you to enjoy the show, or to brag about my glorious performances. I'm here to let you know that I'm tired of that. Tired of losing track of what really matters, and that's the wrestling, and winning, but most of all, it's the enjoyment.

I am your new Mr. Money in the Bank, officially this time, and I will be your future Undisputed Champion. When? No one can say for sure, but mark my words, it's coming. I'm not here to be an a****** to you fans, and I'm not here for the sake of fun either, I'm here to prove that I'm the best, just like I was on my first day here nearly a year ago.

I sure as hell still want to be your favourite superstar, but from now on, that's up to you.

And.... STILL tag team champions of the world!

Okay well that's fair enough then... just keep that dick of your chained up or duct taped to you or whatever. One of my assistants already released a whole cklorgaaaarg of gluten vapor into your planet's atmosphere. I told her to wait for my signal WHICH I NEVER GAVE BTW since I was awaiting your response. Apparently she doesn't know the difference between smashing a bottle over one's head in a display of badassery and dominance and smashing a bottle over one's head because cellular internet coverage went from 3G to motherf***ing "1x" which is like f***ing dial up horses*** WHEN IT'S NOT EVEN CLOUDY OUT AND I'M IN THE CENTER OF TOWN AND POKEMON GO LITERALLY GLITCHED THE f*** OUT WHEN I WAS TRYING TO CATCH THE FIRST TOTODILE I'VE EVER SEEN AND MY PHONE IS SO f***ING LUCKY THAT IT COUNTED THAT CATCH AND I LEFT FOR WORK A FEW MINUTES EARLY AND THUS HAD TIME TO WAIT FOR THE GAME TO LOAD AGAIN EVEN THOUGH IT TOOK c***SUCKING FOREVER AND I HAD ALREADY HAD THE GEN 2 GRASS STARTER SLIP THROUGH MY FINGERTIPS BECAUSE "ERROR" AND on the other hand, the game has been a lot more stable since the update, and loading times are down as well, so I really don't have anything to complain about. Do you like Mexican food? That's what I'm having for dinner. This one place is quite cheap and quite good and OMG they are SOOOO f***ing fast! Sometimes I order and then fill up 1-2 hot sauce side cups and get a drink of water and HOLY f*** THEY CALL OUT MY NUMBER ALREADY IT'S BEEN LIKE ONLY GOD DAMN 75-85 SECONDS AND MY FOOD IS READY AND I HAVEN'T FINISHED MY f***ING WATER YET! Other times, the line is out the door, so I have to wait like 5-8 minutes after ordering... but jesus christ. This is a local business, not a chain, NOT fast food... but in reality, it's f***in FASTER! (And awesome). If the workers are immigrants and trump f***s them over, I'm going to rape him in his eye sockets, nasal passages and ear canals... nowhere else. Just those, just sayin'

#JustThoseJustSayin'

can we do catchphrases in the UCA? If so I want that one... the one I just hash tagged with the # pound sign symbol thing

It is me greengravy. I am back.

I will copy and paste a transcript of my new found zen with eddv earlier on the uca app only on Discord for 0.00 (plus internet access fees, which may include buying a phone if you use free Wi-fi!)

gravy - Today at 1:08 AM
so I am spending some quality time playing with my favorite motherf***er Hector and anyway the guy looked over my back and was like what game is this. and im like with an awkward pause "its...fire emblem"
and hes like oh cool
"i didnt know it was on mobile"
and i was like
uh yeah its new
and that was it rerally
really
but man
eddv ♠ - Today at 1:09 AM
and?
gravy - Today at 1:09 AM
i cant even vibe out to my video game before a quiz
doing needless grinding
instead some dude
is right behind me
asking me what i am playing
it made me feel uncomfortable
But as we have proven in, again, m4 i can persevere through adverse situations. and deftly did i defuse the awkward situation with swift diplomatic chit chat
and that, really, is it. there is no further point to this telling of a 20 second awkward conversation where I not once took my eyes off of my phone nor did I look at the human being approximately 2 feet from me right behind me
thats it dude.

Anyway I challenge Edwards, Douglas "Vernon" to a match at whatever next pay per view it will be. Why? Because I am more zen than he ever was back when he was a member of a "Moment of Zen". Because it was just a f***ing moment, man. s*** writes itself.



i am the embodiment of zen

namaste.

buen provecho.

unlimited zen works

Man, what an awesome event of close matches.

Darn that lion, costing me the title. Still, my good buddy eaed is a great champion and there is no shame in dropping it to him. Especially since he crushed me in the last fall.

We are in a new age for the IC/MM title and it makes sense that I am not the champion to kick it off.

Now if you will excuse me, I have a bit of a hunting trip to go on.

I'm sure it will be...fun.
---

I am going to open the curtain to something that I have been working on for the past month. I approached XIII with an idea after our sort of UCA round table we had after the UCA rumble. Something that people had discussed was that there be some sort of ranking system that could potentially be in place to help things along when we fall into a lull.

What I have done is I have made a spreadsheet that has kept track of everyone's matches. On one tab, I have everyone's singles competition. On the second tab, I have the combination of all 2 person teams on there. This should help prove that when people are randomly put together and continue to win they should continue their team. For example, CPU/Solio have had a 100% winning percentage since forming their team. Granted it was only three matches but still. The third tab contains a few notes. Finally, the fourth tab is my UPDATED tab, at the moment it contains the date that I last made updates and if I give someone access to update there is a name column for who updated it last. Finally, there is a spot I have for current title holders but that is for my own personal up to date information.

Finally, this message is more for our admins, this is not something for you guys to keep up to date. Especially for XIII, you guys do enough to keep the UCA. This is just a tool that I made that could help you make decisions when deciding contenders and things along those lines. For example, if we need to decision on who the contenders should be you can go to the spreadsheet and see who has good winning percentages.

Finally part two, is for the community, just because I have a spreadsheet containing winning percentages does NOT guarantee you should be up for a title match. That is up to the admins. Also, looking at winning percentages does NOT guarantee does not determine your strength within the company either, you have to consider who your opponents were. A couple examples:

-Stifled, Strife, Machete, and Cobain all having winning percentages at 100%. However, they all have less than three matches in there arsenal.
-Solio has a winning percentage of 100% but you have to consider who he was dacing. Three of his four wins were against LWs. However, he does have a win over eaed, the Melee Mayhem champion (he wasn't at the time but still). So he has 1 solid win but the other ones are middle of the road wins. So basically, this example shows that Solio has potential to move up but considering his status as a LW he is doing pretty well for himself.
- Another example is Wigs, he is in the top half of winning percentage. However, his wins were only over LWs. Considering he is a midcard, perhaps it is not time for him to have a title match yet but he is on the rise.
- As a final example, Sultan has a winning percentage of 80%, he has 4 solid victories over Tom, Maniac, Apollo and David. However, his 4th win is also against the UCA_BEAR. So Sultan could be considered for a future title shot BUT SULTAN SHOULD NOT GO DEMANDING A TITLE SHOT BECAUSE HIS WINNING PERCENTAGE. THAT IS UP TO THE ADMINISTRATION.

So in conclusion, my project here is willing to accept help for all of those that offer it but the most important thing to know is that this tool is not a do all end all. In fact, I would go as far to say that it doesn't even matter. It is up to the community and the administration to see if it is used or not but I have worked pretty hard on it so I thought I would share it with all of you. Right now, it has only been keeping track of Rumble to Mania. After Ruin is posted, I will move the Rumble Month results to a doc and restart the spreadsheet.

Here is a link to the spreadsheet. If you wish to help let me know and I will grant your email address access. Right now it is view only:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15leU9XIzsU6Nm961YbFTsdHZJqLBghVSknjtMAX2bQU/edit?usp=sharing

Feel free to comment or ignore it, either way I am sharing.
---

I like this idea eaed
---

I think I forgot the most important thing for me personally, I will always take an active person over a person with a higher winning percentage but as I stated in the other post. The sheet is not a standard it is simply a tool.
---

oh that is cool :D
---

I have the T-3rd most matches on that very recent sample size sheet.

I may not be winning those matches but man my name sure gets out there! Maybe I should realign my goals. Find a niche and all that.

Maybe I could become THE GREATEST HEAVYWEIGHT IN THE UCA BECAUSE THAT'S THE ONLY GOAL TO EVER HAVE.

Or y'know I could get good at taybles. That sounds like fun.
---

I like the rating system, eaed. While it doesn't necessarily dictate who is up for a title shot, I like the idea of keeping track of victories. So if wrestler X is all like "LULZ I BEAT ENTIRE COMPANY GIVE ME BELT NOW" you can be all like "no you didn't, shut up, I have proof." And at the same time if wrestler Y hasn't gotten a title shot in months, you can be like "hey, wrestler Y beat a ton of dudes, give him a shot."
---

Yeah, that spreadsheet is really cool.
---

I like being a LW. It's fun! And fun is all you need to win!

Broken Raven......

I have a message for you from the Outer Planes of existence, from the Great Lord Eldest One himself.

A message about your pride and hubris. A message that you are perhaps....a false prophet?

At Ultimatum, I defeated you. However, when I turned to the stars and asked for guidance they assured me that greatness awaited us if The Broken Raven were to main event Epopulation Mania and won the Undisputed title - especially if I had become the champion in the Rumble.

But neither of those things happened. After squandering my gift that I gave you this is the thanks you give me? A threat? Oh Broken Raven you do not want to threaten me.

I have tossed our tag titles into the gutter. I hold a ticket to challenge the champion at any given Paid for Viewing Event. You have one last chance to achieve the foretold destiny. Should you fail? I will use this ticket and take my place at the head of this flock, a place you would at that point no longer deserve. Do I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?

In the meanwhile, a usurper seeks to kick me while I am down. A Black Popplio turned to a green puddle of FAT. Gravy green, I will make you rue the day you called me out.
---

I mean if you want your tag titles back you're welcome to try it instead of whining about your replacement!
---

I have no quarrel with losing the titles or with Machete.

I do have a quarrel with Fearless Leader for squandering the opportunity I GAVE to him. There is only one thing of worth in this world and it is glory and The Raven...he has squandered his. But I am a fair Eddvard.

He gets one more chance
---

...Just checking to make sure, and Oi'm... not going to pursue this because you're all loonies and Oi would prefer to not get dragged into another pit of insanity and fishpeople, Oi had enough of that when oi visited upstate New York a few weeks ago while Oi was scoutin' and was chased through the streets, thank ye.

But... are ye sure y'all are listenin' to the same gods? Because Oi'm getting intense warring deities vibes 'ere, and oi don't think they have any of ye bert interests in moind.

Anyhow, E-Popmania was an abject failure fer yours truly, oi had to sell off me mimics oi was goin' to use for Taybles matches, because at least those can be tamed, and Oi misplaced the mimic briefcase in the taxi on the way there, sooo there's one less taxi driver in New York and traveling around the area, so... travel alert for anyone traveling by taxi, there is now a camoflauged briefcase drivin' a taxi in Time Square. Y'all have fun with that.

However, me good friend an' partner Sol maintained kept his belt against...5 good competitors and two embarrassments to existence, so that's a plus, and the current tag champions, for some bizarre reason, people the two of us have beaten before. ....Still dun have much interest in gold meself, but oi'm not opposed to helpin' get me partner a second belt to carry about... seein' the look on his face with double titles would be fun, at the very least.
---

YAY CPU

WE CAN GO AFTER THE TAG TITLES?!

THAT WOULD BE SO MUCH FUN!

We're coming for the goooooooooollllddd!
---

...Sol, have you gotten into the SURGGEEEEEEE again? You're worryingly chipper about this chance, even for you- okay, *why* were ya waitin' fer me permission for dis? Y'do know y'idn't needta wait fer me to say it's alroight, roight?
---

Because I wanted to make sure you were gonna have fun with this before we took our title shot!
---

One more thing, with the spreadsheet. I just emptied it to prepare for the next month. If you want to see last months record I have another sheet called 'Previous Months'. On that sheet, there are links to google docs that have the records from previous months. Also, I am going to attempt to do an "All Time" sheet. The "All Time" will be updated at the end of the month before I clear the sheet for the next month. Take everything on the "All Time" sheet with a grain of salt.

NOW IN CHARACTER

Solio! You claim to be a fan of fun. You think it will be fun for you to become tag team champions with CPU. HOWEVER, you cannot have fun with the tag team champions WITHOUT going through the administration of fun, myself and THE DIRECTOR of FUN, Maniac!

BOOM! THIS IS A FUN CHALLENGE TO YOU, THE FAKE MASTER OF FUN!
---

Oh my! A battle of fun? How exciting! I accept your challenge!
---

...Oi personally have issues with the idea of 'standardised' fun, makes me feel like oi'm stuck overnight in Disneyland with the bloody possessed mascots again. ...Or havin' someone try to sell me on Kingdom Hearts Birthed by- heckin' hell Sol. (Facepalm)
---

do I see a THRIVING TAG DIVISION starting to form??
---

There is no standard to my fun, CPU. I cannot direct or master fun. I just have fun! Totally different.

I don't think fun can be put into an office or title like Maniac tries to do. But hey, I guess fun is fun no matter how you spin it!
---

My role as Director of Fun is to make sure nothing is going on to ruin the fun.

Though honestly its pretty much always been more of a figurehead position. I haven't had much real power since the end of the first Tom administration.

That said I do look forward to having some real fun in this tag match.
---

I have been a mess of a emotions recently. The intensity of graduate school classes, tests, and homework ramped up recently, coinciding with UCA's Road to E-Popmania. I had a lot of time to think about what I wanted out of my involvement. I told XIII at first, "I want to be Apollo's manager only. Watch from the side as he curbstomped opponents into their rightful place." Time went by, and then I told XIII, "E-Popmania only happens once a year. Maybe having a match wouldn't be so bad. Maybe Apollo and Sultan would let me team with them one more time."

But that didn't happen.

Sultan took it upon himself to get involved the opposite way. Apollo and I figured, "Meh. That's his thing. We don't need to get involved. Focus on MITB. He'll go onto his own thing."

BUT THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN.

He attacked me, leaving me no choice. The Darkness I had deep inside me, the Darkness I said would never again return decided it wanted to feast on him instead. So I relented to its whims. I let it out, facing Sultan at Mania. In my mind, I felt, "Darkness or no, there's no way I can win. Even if I come close, that's my excuse to be proven right. I have nothing left. Sultan is a giant, and I would be destroyed. One and done, as it should be."

BUT THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN!

I fought Sultan, prepared to die standing, only to learn that the Darkness inside wouldn't let that happen. Its power influenced both me and the world, that sickening song it sings stirred power into my hands, the hands I used to wring Sultan's neck. But now I am confused as to where to go from here.

What does it want from me?
What does UCA want from me?
What does Apollo want from me?
Most of all, what do I want from me?
