I lied

UCA will now end on the exact day I get 1000 days as champion, because awesome

(Just kidding but seriously 1000 days man that'd be cool. It's barely even possible now though. That's like 6 and a half ppv cycles)

Also stellar work with the doc Strife

I figured these weekly updates makes it more competitive in nature. It shows the progression of people, almost like ZSig does with the WWE title histories.

I do enjoy these.

I aim to inspire. Expect an update on that in the APWT now that Boreground is over

First off, thank you everyone for your understanding of yesterday, I appreciate it, truly.

Now, about my loss...

It's fine. DP earned that title, fair and square. It was a close, tough, well-fought match, befitting of a title fight.

However, I took all his best punches, and I'm still standing. I haven't given up. Even after losing to Strife in KotB, even after losing my title to DP...I'm coming back for more. So get ready, because I'm not going away without a fight.
---

Oh man, ending on 666 days would've been pretty cool. Oh well.
---

I'm still here. Another victory. I've won the battle against Strife, but at what cost?

This isn't what I wanted to be, not the Champion that I foreseen myself as. Strife brought out parts of me, parts that I'm not proud of. He twisted my mind, had me convinced that what was right was wrong, and for a few moments there, I was a different man.

Since day one, I've boasted about respect, hard work, earning chances, and fighting fair. In the last week, I showed very little of any of those things, and for that, I apologize. Both to myself, who I promised when I won the title that I'd reign a certain way, and to the UCA, who I feel like I let down when I contradicted my prior points.

Strife presented a challenge unlike anything I've ever come up against, and the truth is, there are parts of me that will be forever changed because of him.

At the end of the day, though, I'm still here, still champion, and still ready to do whatever it takes to prove that my values and core beliefs are ones that can be followed.

The reign continues.

But where does it go next? With our future in doubt, and the end seemingly near, now more than ever it means something to be the Undisputed Champion, the top guy in a company with a dark future.

We've still a ways to go, though. My goal has been to remain champion for as long as possible, and now I've got a specific date in mind.

As for the present, I'm ready for whatever is thrown at me. A new challenger, eager to rip this title out of my hands? An old adversary, ready to settle the score once and for all? Only time will tell.

Cult of Personality plays

*Walks out in a suit and tie, but smiling at the crowd and waving to them*

*rolls into the ring*

It has been awhile UCA! It's been awhile for a lot of things in my life, now that I think about it. It's been a long road for me as a wrestling fan and man. I remember back in my youth when I would watch the greats like Ric Flair, Sting, Stone Cold Steve Austin, THE HEART BREAK KID SHAWN MICHAELS, and so many others light up the stage I was awe struck. There has always been something profoundly alluring to me about the spectacle that professional wrestling represents.

I remember as a teenager on Board 8 how Extha, FFD, and so many others would throw around finishers like it was nobody's business. RKOs, Choke Slams, Pedigrees, and of course I would always have a bit of a mouth on me so I'd be the rattle snake and Sir Chris Stun anything that by god moved. Those were precious memories to me that I will forever cherish. I will not forget one second of those youthful years where I made memories and friends who I still have a great fondness for to this day.

Then we get into UCA. By the time UCA really came into swing I was off in other ventures but I've had my moments. I was the champion for a brief moment, and that was great. I tapped into a dark place in my life and brought some DARKNESS to the UCA for a time. I've had a few runs as tag champion and overall it was a good time. UCA has made a tremendous impact on the board and it has been a positive.

And how about XIII? What a great job he has done running things. I see he already has an idea how he wants to go out on top, or at least try, and hey all the more power to him. It's been amazing the success and fun that this brand has seen under XIII. It's been a sight to behold, sometimes from afar.

*Takes off sunglasses and pockets them in his chest pocket*

Here's the thing though... I've always despised XIII. From the first moment he came to this board, to my board he sullied everything that was great about this place. He ran around acting as if he was a somebody. As if he mattered. He never mattered to me. He was a blip on the radar of my reign as this board's main eventer. UCA is a brand of Board 8, I am the brand of Board 8. There isn't anyone worth knowing on this board I haven't shook hands with. There isn't anyone on this board that gets anywhere unless they have my permission to do so. After all of these years, when the spectacle dies and this board fades from the memories of people their last thought will be of me.

XIII. You have made the decision to end your brand at Epopmania X. The last grand stage of your Board 8 career. I hate you. I find you to be a loathsome, small creature who has always been unworthy of my board. You have your sights firmly set on the bright lights and how you can go out on top, I intend to bury you at your own creation and to hold two funerals on the same night.

Sign me the fuck back up for UCA.

*Slams down mic*
---

That. That right there is the kind of thing I imagined would happen when this announcement was made. People are hopefully going to continue to want to come out of the woodwork to help the UCA go out with a bang!! Keep it up everyone!

*THE Zero Signal comes to the ring to a great ovation due to his actions at Summer Spectacular*

...it feels great to be back, no lie. 13 months ago, I wrestled The Sultan of Slam in a brutal no holds barred streetfight, and for months, that was the last thing I remembered. My mind fell into a deep state of unconsciousness for months, and all of a sudden, my body was moving and functioning normally, but my mind was definitely not. It felt like I was swimming in molasses forever trying to find my way back to reality. And when I did, the horror was real.

I was no longer formerly known as Raven... no no no... I was currently known as Raven. Or a Broken one to be exact.

I'm still very bleak on the details, but my closest friends here in the UCA caught me up on things using what's left in the UCA library. Apparently in the months I was "out", I managed to win the Bound for Whiskey series on the first try, the Ultimatum tournament on the first try, a tag team title with my good friend Eddv, a couple more Master of Taybles titles, and somehow managed to main event Epopmania for the second year in a row; while I apparently came up short in that matchup, I respect DpOblivion far too much to hold any grudges. The Broken Raven might have and probably did think differently, and that's why when I realized what I had done, I had to set things right at Summer Spectacular. So mark my words here folks as I speak: You will never see the Broken Raven here again *loud pop*

The powers that be have agreed that since the Broken Raven attempted to steal everything I accomplished while I was out, that it's only fair that his legacy becomes property of me, since I rightfully vanquished him once and for all.

Now, as I've also learned in the past 24 hours, the road ends at Epopmania X. I admit, my plan was to quietly retire there, kinda like Tim Duncan, and now it appears to be everyone else's plan as well. Well make no mistake about it: I, Zero Signal, formerly known as Raven, never again known as Broken Raven, will wrestle to the final days of the UCA and will take on all comers as I pursue gold and glory! I'll wrestle for the Undisputed Championship, the MELEE Mayhem championship, the tag team championship, the Master of Taybles title, hell, I'll even dig up the IM title and defend it... *looks at security* ...no worries guys, I'm not gonna steal historic UCA gold... but the fact of the matter is, I'm here to fight, and will help cast the curtain on a company I helped out on for years.
---

I'm hyped for potential new(old)comers gunning for my title!

Just know, I wasn't a member of your great grandfather's UCA, so don't expect some easy pickings.
---

Oh sure, Chris. You can waltz back into UCA and decide to face its greatest of all time at its last and greatest event. Yeah.

I intend to be the Undisputed Champion at Epopmania. Win the Rumble and we'll talk, hmm?
---

There will be a ruin today with a announcement about this months ppv.
---

I won't be able to get the count done right on time tomorrow but I should be able to tomorrow evening, hope that's alright. That should mark the last time real life causes me to forsake my duties
---

We got it. Do what you need to do. Please don't worry. We're sorry for your loss
---

Small Master File changes

ZeroSignal replaced Raven (cause story reasons)
Sir Chris was slotted into the HW division (cause Sir Chris)

That is all.

eaedwards6400 posted...

Now that the the show has officially finished, I will announce theme for the next PPV. It is called "Champions and Challengers" and this is how it works. Every title will be defended at the PPV but here is the kicker. Every championship will be defended in a triple threat match.

One contender will be determined by the champion himself. That's right @davidponte, @DpObliVion, @Strife2, @WiggumFan267 and the team of @Apollo_Phoenix and @Tom_Bombadil will get to choose who they will face at "Champions and Challengers." There are limitations of course, @davidponte must challenge a heavyweight and @Apollo_Phoenix and @Tom_Bombadil must face an established tag team, no strange bedfellows.

The other contender will be determined by the GMs, Tom and myself, through vigorous trails to prove they are worth the title matches.

Champions have until 2 RUINS from now to select their challengers. If the challenger is not chosen one will be chosen for them. Sultan is owed yet another match for the Master of Taybles. In the event that Sultan defeats Strife then Sultan will get to chose a champion over Strife.

Good luck to our champions and happy hunting!

Hmm, interesting. I already have a few people in mind that I'd like to put on a good show with.
---

I'll be gunning for you DP, so don't slack off, okay? The title fight may be a triple threat match, but if I get in, you will be my only concern. And trust me, I'm going to do everything in my power to get in. (That's what she said)
---

It's been roughly a whole week since I, Zero Signal, returned to action, and I've observed the company being shook up with the latest announcements; first the upcoming end of the UCA, and second the upcoming triple threat ppv.

As I said the night after Summer Spectacular, I will pursue gold at all costs and will fight whomever wants me in their match. Obviously I'm too heavy to pursue the LW title, and I've only been back for a week so I don't have an established tag team partner yet, so that leaves two championships and one title for me to obtain! With only 7 months left in this company, I, Zero Signal, am going to bring back zero tolerance to those that doubt my ability to whip that ass all over the UCA Arena!
---

Welcome back Zero Signal
---

Glad to see people who I had in mind already showing interest. I'm not one to back down from a challenge, or to choose the easiest route to obtain or retain a title. Will the GM-selected challenger be determined before I have to choose my challenger? I hope so, or we might have to determine who is most worthy of my automatic selection.
---

The only thing I want to focus on right now is CPU, or the people who control him, or the robot (android?) in his place. Honestly, I'm even more confused now than I was a few days ago.

Regardless, picking a challenger can wait, even if it is for the most prestigious title in the UCA. In due time all will become apparent, and, as long as I'm involved, you better believe that a show of the highest quality will be put on.

All I know now, though, is that I'm laser focused. If whoever is in charge of CPU wants me to wait for some unknown reason, then so be it, but don't expect me to sit on my hands in anticipation of what's to come next.

The longer you make me wait, the lower your odds of victory become.
---

Also I'm on vacation for the next week and a half. This won't effect my ability to promo, and I'm 99% sure that I won't miss a show. If anything, any responses of mine might be delayed, but I'm still here.

(MECHA comes out, solemnly, in his finest clothing, and a microphone, and he slowly walks down to the ring, and stares david in the face.)

"..."

(He raises the mic, opens his mouth... and then knuckle-punches david right in the throat with his other fist. Then he turns to face the crowd, still with a completely straight face.)

"Greetings my fellow Assholes, and the rest of the people in this fine audience, now that this one has your full attention, however briefly, this ones believe that y'all deserve a more concise explanation of where my lesser half is currently.

*He clears his throat, despite the fact he doesn't actually have an esophagus.*

The one you know as 'CPU' has been taken back to SSW for mental health reasons, and to be reassured that he is still a valued member of the SSW family, because we have been dialing back the number of matches he has been participating per week, for his physical health.

Apparently the impetuous idiot had been working five matches a week in SSW, here, and with those we have working relationships with, and the management believed he needed more time to heal per week than just over the weekend, and that he was working himself ragged.

He, being a anxious little paranoid jackanape, believed this meant that we were going to release him and that he would be abandoned, again with nowhere to go, especially with the news you idiots are shutting down in Feburary of next year. *MECHA sighs in annoyance.* He's not, he's going to safe and sound with us, even as you lot end up unemployed and your home burned to the ground, but he had his concerns, so... *MECHA shrugs, and shakes his head.* And, as such, he's working overtime to 'make up' for the last month of just working here.

*MECHA taps a few buttons on his arm, and a holographic image of CPU's current schedule appears above the crowd, without times, dates or places.*

Let's see here... Saturday night, dark match against that blonde elf in that GCB place. Apparently the elf got talked into wearing something called the Gerudo Outfit for that match, and as such the CPU will probably spend two days in a hospital bed afterwards for some reason. ...I thought he pulled it off, I don't get why he's embarrassed.


The Wednesday after he gets out of the hospital, he's set to fight someone called... 'Zangief the Red Tornado.' ....Never heard of him, CPU might have a chance there, and the Friday after that.... a... nine year old girl that calls herself 'Bubbles', and the day after that some jackass by the name Colby Donaldson. ...The hell kinda name is 'Colby'?

*He taps the buttons again, the image disappears back into his arm, and he looks back up.*

That being said... *He turns around to stare down at david.* You don't care about that, do you? ...Of course you don't, you're just going to be confused in your next promo, without commenting on a damn thing your opponent said or did, as you always do, so I'm going to make this simple for you.

*He kneels down, staring into david's eyes.* CPU will be back in two weeks, assuming a lack of hurricane activity. He will come down to this ring, he'll look you directly in the eyes like I'm doing now, and he's going to punch you in the crotch with his new hannnnnn- punch you in the crotch, and challenge you for whenever you're ready. You have two weeks to think of a decent response, and since you're 'laser focused', it shouldn't take you *that* long to consider it.You have been adequately warned, and think about what you do after you two are done with your little tiff. I've a errand I have to bomb."

*MECHA stands back up, and promptly explodes on the spot. A light chuckle fades off into the distance.*

Bump

My victim has been selected. For their sake, they'd better pray Sultan does better than his last feeble attempt at subduing me.

But he won't. He isn't a master of anything, provided he has no artistic flair nor creative flourish. He simply beats his head against the wall, until either it breaks or he does.

Let's just say the victim better pray UCA's decay kills him before I do.

*Glorious*

*Eddv descends to the ring from the rafters walking down a beam of light covered in an otherworldly cloak*

I have returned once more to see that the UCA comes to worthy a GLORIOUS close. And i see things have changed.

Most egregiously is our final King of the Board!

Strife you are nothing but a clown.
The clown prince of wrestling is all you will ever be.

If you had any balls at all you would do everyone a favor a toss your crown into gutter
---

If I had any balls?

You could have stopped UCA's decay. While I was intent on following King Apollo's footsteps and doing battle with David, your brother and your longtime rival decided it was best to kill us all in a blaze of glory with a festering, sickly disease instead of instantly shooting us all down. This isn't glorious at all. Nothing about UCA is anymore. We can't escape the dystopia. The countdown has begun, and you came back to do little more than spit in my face: one of the few people who attempted to stop the clock dead in its tracks.

This crown is mine. I am the Last King. It is a cross I bear, so I have no choice but to see this through. One you did NOTHING to stop me from wearing. What good is picking a fight with me, knowing my title, your glory, our UCA is just going to wither away? What will our legacy be? I wanted to serve the Eternal King, not be the cause of its downfall. You act as if I enjoy this.

I don't enjoy this at all...all I can do is what I was trained to do: create my last pieces of art and hurt people until the end. You're choosing to place yourself on that list. I feel sad that you find glory in this disgusting place.

UCA REWIND!
Countdown to Extinction
Due to declining ticket sales and low superstar morale, it has been decided that UCA will close its doors come February's E-Popmania event. The current administration hopes this decision will enable the federation to go out with a bang on its biggest event ever.

Glorious Cult of Personality Domination
Part of the decree was the hope that superstars past and present would be reinvigorated and give their all. We knew ZeroSignal battled Broken Raven to return to form. What was not expected were the returns of Sir Chris and Eddv. Will others come back in time to say goodbye?

Champions and Challengers
The next PPV event will see champions defend their titles in triple threat matches against opponents of their and the GMs' choosing. Strife and Sultan have to finish some business, but otherwise, the champions have decisions to make.

thanks!

Only if UCA pays me more for it. The company forgot to insure me the last time erotic footage ended up on the shows without my consent. Damn that ScareChan. First the giant promo, which was all-time levels of awesome, but then it got super weird.

(...Oi know Oi've not technically been under contract for the past three months, but Oi'm sorry what's this about? O-o')

I once assaulted a superstar known as Scare (part of Empire of Silence for quite a while) after he threw me out of a Battle Royal. I stalked him in an airport, beat him down week after week until he exploded, giving what many of us would consider the promo of the year at the time. I mean really solid stuff.

I forget who won the feud, but he fucked my mom. At least, I think he did.

Wow, Tom making an unexpected case, hmm. Looking to be between him, Emerald, and ZeroSignal then. I wouldn't mind seeing some more action between them to help me make my choice.

I'll take a match. Noone specific in mind, I just need to get back into the ring.
