The best case scenario was them returning to kinda playing defense in the 4th quarter

BKSheikah won the Guru. I did not.

so playing the free weekend on PC

it is extremely weird to be matched with other people playing the game for the first time, and being the only who knows what they're doing because you've played hundreds of hours on console.

I guess thats why people smurf

BKSheikah won the Guru. I did not.

My first title like so many greats was the LW title, and it will be an honor to be the last LW champ

BKSheikah won the Guru. I did not.

And Jakyl of course, its called the Jakyl manifesto for a reason

BKSheikah won the Guru. I did not.

this is on my wiki page from Icehawks writeups 9 years ago lol

" He is chill, has a fun sense of humor, and isn't sensitive at all. Dr Football was a perennial loser in UCA, the guy always lost, and eventually had a run of like 8 straight runner up performances in the battle royales. So when we did storylines in UCA for a while, I gave him a crying gimmick, and it was hilarious, everyone loved it, including Football. Like I said, great sense of humor, cool guy, wouldn't kill him to post more, it's not like he does anything important with his time >_>."

BKSheikah won the Guru. I did not.

I mean they didnt give us defined characters, for a few weeks they would have us talking in the match descriptions, to give some of us who didnt promo much something to work with. @Jakyl25 could probably give a bit better of an explanation

I was given an emo sad gimmick that I ran with for a while

Who here remembers when Icehawk and Jakyl gave us all characters in the first place

ive changed laptops a couple of times so any records of stuff I have is likely gone

I do have the standings for the first thing I did as co-owner, the COMBAT CUP

Football, how did you get pulled into management?

I dont exactly remember how I started, I assumed I helped out when we did the Amnesia Bomb, and I think I was in charge of the third show for a while. Then at some point Tom was ready to retire from GMing (lol) XIII beat him in a match for the company and I showed up the next day and delivered a Ric Flair promo declaring myself co-owner
---

BKSheikah won the Guru. I did not.

We actually won the tag titles (i cant remember if this was the same time) I believe right after the Amnesia Bomb. This was a big deal to me because it gave me my Grand Slam status.

I had forgotten about that promo. IIRC, i think thats my greatest line because its such a great heel thing to say especially since both of my HW title wins were a bit jokey.
---

BKSheikah won the Guru. I did not.

There was something else I forgot about until Dante mentioned a similar situation.

You havent lived until you booked yourself into every match on the card, including multiple title matches

My favorite dumb thing of every card was naming every EASY VOTE FORM and I was very glad I got to name one the FOOTBALL VOTE FORM
---

BKSheikah won the Guru. I did not.

I also have that feeling with Tecknic who I'm not sure posted in any other topic that wasnt UCA
---

BKSheikah won the Guru. I did not.

I tried to think of a Rushmore but Ive missed too much stuff over the last couple of years to have an accurate answer on that.

The only thing that is 100% objective is that the Greatest UCA Superstar to words spoken ratio belongs to sonicblastpunch

Yea Im too old school to say anyone but Boko

BKSheikah won the Guru. I did not.

Trying to think of other random things.

-XIII usually bounced most ideas off of me while we were co-owners, and i would wager I was ok with them 95-99% of the time. Outside of tournaments and such I mainly just stuck with what was working, im not much of a long term big picture booking kind of guy. I still have 100's of PMs from XIII left over that I dont know if Ill ever delete since I dont get them from any other source

-I dont 100% remember exactly how it happened, but I remember talking to Tom on AIM about rebooting the UCA, and he told me about Dante's plan to set off a Amnesia Bomb and I thought it was the greatest idea ever. I think in the long run this was the correct decision

-When I left UCA officially it was mainly because I was working a lot more hours at work, and wanted to unwind when I would get home, and some times UCA felt a bit of a chore. We had several weeks of guest bookers and when I realized I was getting more stuff done that felt like a good time to leave.

-I really did think the year we ran UOTY was a lot of fun

-Sorry about not updating the title spreadsheets : )

-If anyone has any random questions let me know!

Also I dont know if I ever outright said it, but during the years of running COMBAT I always got a bit of flack for only having 5 matches most weeks. But in the 3 show era I always imagined that show as what WWE Superstars should have been.

A smaller show that features a couple important matches, getting a few people their matches for the week so that Eruption wasnt forced to book 12 guys, and give a little freedom for promos or just to naturally move some stories along.

Man I forgot about that match stip with having to tayble someone and then climb the ladder

There were a few match stips I had stowed away but could never figure out the right way to do (Buried Alive being the one I was most disappointed in not figuring out)

It was mentioned in the rumble but yea my greatest contribution to UCA is probably Skinning the Cat
---

BKSheikah won the Guru. I did not.

so unfortunately the official DANT-A-METER is lost to time and previous laptops but

https://youtu.be/ZcPyzfD2hLY?t=58

The DANT-A-METER chronicled my pursuit of at the time Dante's record Middleweight title reign, and is by far my most successful gimmick of all time. Every other time I tried something it had a bit of success but nothing close to that.

I would eventually tie the record but lose to Tom, and would take back the title at EPOPMANIA 2 against sbp.

I miss sbp and Semi

If Westbrook can average 20 points a quarter against the Warriors we can beat them in a series

mocking Trebek is the best

I would like to make my return to 1 on 1 action on UCA 10

I've done a lot of great things in the UCA, but there's one that all the new kids only read about it in the history books, and I would like to bring it back for one night only so that it can be enjoyed one last time

SO

DANTE vs FOOTBALL, which will be preceded by one last look at the DANT-A-METER

(we also might mention the AMNESIA BOMB)

In college Blake wore 23 (his brother wore 32 and he asked Wayman Tisdale's permission to wear the number) so Im guessing he'll switch back to that

BKSheikah won the Guru. I did not.

ah you were practicing (i thought that was the last minute)

well played

BKSheikah won the Guru. I did not.

pretty sure Wigs STC in the wrong topic
---

BKSheikah won the Guru. I did not.

i think Dp and Solio should both be at 1
---

BKSheikah won the Guru. I did not.

anyone would be a good winner, but I would like to see Wigs at least have to skin the cat like the rest of us!

Hurt Wigs
---

BKSheikah won the Guru. I did not.

I know we're paused but just to make sure

Skin the Cat
---

BKSheikah won the Guru. I did not.

Hurt Stifled I suppose
---

BKSheikah won the Guru. I did not.

I would highly recommend a brief pause to tabulate as im pretty sure ExTha's hurt was early
---

BKSheikah won the Guru. I did not.

of course im the guy who once eliminated himself and tried to argue that actually gave me 1 HP amd waited until the Rumble was over to try to eliminate the last guy

but that was before skinning the cat was a thing
---

BKSheikah won the Guru. I did not.

'-If you eliminate someone while in the Rumble without using your double-hurt, you don't get the bonus point until either the 5-minute "skin the cat" period passes or they fail in their skin-the-cat attempt

This has happened before and Im 99% sure that if Sultan had failed to STC, he would be out

But since he was successful and that Eddv's 5 minutes passed, he now gets the extra HP

so he's at 3
---

BKSheikah won the Guru. I did not.

or eaed's

i dont really remember exactly
---

BKSheikah won the Guru. I did not.
