| davidponte 02/11/18 4:36:59 PM #14 | I'd feel like my match against Emerald would be incomplete if I didn't come down here and cut another promo, like I've done so many times in my career, for my final match at Epopmania. There is no manufactured drama here. This is not good versus evil, or the blow-off to some hatred filled feud between two competitors who are at odds with each other. Simply put, this is a celebration of the new school wrestlers here in the UCA. As Emerald pointed out last week, our career trajectories have not been the exact same. I'm not going to come out here and pretend like we're carbon copies of each other, but I will say that our intentions have been shared ever since we step foot into this ring. The goal has always been to put on a show, to showcase what we can do, and to achieve greatness. This final match is no different. Somehow, our paths have rarely crossed up to this point. When Emerald showed up, I was at the top of the card, and when he finally managed to get there, I was struggling to find my footing. There were a few meetings that stood out to me, though. Most of all was our time in the Bound For Whisky series. Emerald looked like he was ready to finally take the step to main event status, and I was dancing around in an Eagle costume. But we were both on fire, eager to take the top spot in the group stage, then move on to the finals, and we both put up a hell of a fight to get there. A battle between the two newcomers. At Epopmania, the goal is to surpass that. There is no day after, no feud or title to look for after the match. There's no reason to hold back, and I'll be damned if I don't put on one of the best performances of my career. --- https://psnprofiles.com/Simmons-94 Congrats BKSheikah, BYIG Guru champion! |

| davidponte 02/11/18 1:11:58 AM #174 | 37. Beat a game that's been in your backlog for a long time Rise of the Tomb Raider I liked this game more as it went along. The set pieces were fantastic, and I liked all of the mechanics surrounding the bow. There were some issues I had with it, but that's less the fault of the game and more that I'm not really in the mood to play pseudo open-world third person shooters right now. I ended up not doing any of the side stuff here, other than a bunch of the tombs, because I wasn't really interested in them. I've had this game on my wishlist since it was released on PS4, then bought it sometime last year and finally got around to it. This was one of those "okay I need to play this game to clear my backlog" experiences, which is probably the reason why I was't super into it. 8/50 --- https://psnprofiles.com/Simmons-94 Congrats BKSheikah, BYIG Guru champion! |

| davidponte 02/10/18 1:48:05 PM #89 | Murloc Paladin prevails! After that 0-2 start, I went 8-1 to go from rank 8 to 5. It's crazy that it took me less than an hour to do what I couldn't do over the course of 8 hours of consistent playing yesterday. I also managed to only play 1 Warlock in those 9 games, and it was Zoo, which is kind of crazy because I was only getting Cubelock last night for awhile. Tilting aside, this is the earliest I've ever reached rank 5 in a month. I have a week off later in the month so I'll probably attempt to unsuccessfully make the push to legend at some point. The thought of starting at rank 5 next month with the new changes is very enticing. --- https://psnprofiles.com/Simmons-94 Congrats BKSheikah, BYIG Guru champion! |

I think UCA has a lived in problem where like WWE, everyone is some shade of heel trying to outdo each other in that facet. Even people who start face and were really good at it (David and Stifled for example) switched for a time. Emerald never did, and just grew into a comfortable babyface over time. Maybe I'm wrong, but I assumed that whole eagle thing was a joke that I just decided to run with. I don't think anyone was expecting it to reach the heights and gain the momentum that it did. My initial reaction to it was something like "wow this is the nail in the coffin, I don't think I'll ever recover from this". --- https://psnprofiles.com/Simmons-94 Congrats BKSheikah, BYIG Guru champion! |

| davidponte 02/08/18 11:34:01 AM #50 | I tried to make an effort to get into that Sonic mod when it was clear that no one else really cared about it. I could never tell if CPU was genuinely upset about it or if it was all in character, so I took it upon myself to kind of focus on it. I messaged one of the admins about potentially not defending the Undisputed title for a cycle so that I could focus on it, especially at a time where I had already beaten every feasible contender, but that ended up not working out and so I could never put all of my energy into it. I'm also unsure if CPU was just really great at playing his character or if he really did hate me, so that made things difficult. --- https://psnprofiles.com/Simmons-94 Congrats BKSheikah, BYIG Guru champion! |

| davidponte 02/08/18 12:41:39 AM #33 | One last thing before I go to bed because I likely won't get a chance to post again before the 24 hours pass: I was absolutely gutted when XIII came out and said this was ending (I still am). This had been the most fun I ever had on the board, and the news came at a time where I was hotter than ever. I felt like I had so much more to give, and knew that I'd probably get lost in the shuffle as we rightfully celebrated the past of this project. I can't remember the specific conversation we were having, but the thing that stood out to me was XIII coming out and saying that I was one of the main reasons why they didn't just end it right then. I don't know if he remembers saying that, or if it was just said to appease my anger, but it's something that I really took in and made me more willing to say goodbye to this thing. My time here has been great, and I'm really going to miss it. --- https://psnprofiles.com/Simmons-94 Congrats BKSheikah, BYIG Guru champion! |

| davidponte 02/08/18 12:35:37 AM #32 | I remember finally getting a shot at the Undisputed Title, which of course was against Dp, and not being able to take advantage of it. After that, I'd say I was at the "low-point" of my career. No one was really interested in feuding with me, or they were busy doing their own things, and I ended up promoing at people, which ended up being pretty common over the course of my time here. After a pretty bad Rumble, I wasn't really sure where to go. We had that mini-crisis before Epopmania IX, which should have been a sign of things to come, and I knew that I wanted to get back to being relevant. After winning there, I slowly started having fun again. I had a decent run with Sultan as tag champs, and I feel like the only reason we lost there was because I was working my way back up to an Undisputed Title shot. This time though, I did it. Obviously I can't speak about the past, but Dp had been on a legendary run ever since I showed up. He freaking put the title on the line at the Rumble and STILL managed to retain. To beat him meant that I really made it. I couldn't believe I had finally got to the point I had worked so hard to get to. I've got this sort of chip on my shoulder where I perceive my run as Undisputed Champion to not be a meaningful one despite the fact that no one has actually said that, but that was the most fun I had here. I really felt like I was on top of this project. I somehow beat Dp again, and then spent the next multiple months essentially being unstoppable. There were a lot more of those promoing at people moments due to there only being a handful of us truly active, but it still felt pretty great. I'm still kind of embarrassed about how I lost that title. I worked nights and so I often wouldn't see shows posted until hours later, unless they were linked in the discussion topic. This PPV hadn't been. I somehow misread the time when I got home and thought I had another 12 hours, and because I didn't' vote, the match ended in a draw. At that point I knew I had no chance in the rematch. I'm really glad it was Strife who got the opportunity to be champion, though. He was right up there with me during those months, keeping this thing afloat. It would end up being the last time I was Undisputed champ, but it was a hell of a time. --- https://psnprofiles.com/Simmons-94 Congrats BKSheikah, BYIG Guru champion! |

| davidponte 02/07/18 9:52:52 PM #6 | The first show I was on was a PPV and it defined my entire time here, or at least began what led to where I am now. XIII PM'd me and tried to pitch the UCA to me. I had seen the topics, as anyone on B8 surely has, but I don't think I ever entered one, and certainly didn't know what the UCA was. I was a wrestling fan, so I guess XIII saw me as a good fit, especially at a time when interest was low (the story of my career). I was super hesitant to join, for a variety of reasons. Funnily enough, the #1 reason, though, was that I didn't believe I'd be able to promo or play a character, and because of that it wouldn't make sense for me to join. XIII assured me that I could take it slow and see how everything ran. Honestly, I only said yes because it seemed like XIII genuinely wanted people to get in. I briefly introduced myself in the main topic, and then when the PPV was posted, seen that I was in a battle royal for the LW title. I'd learn later that all you had to do to win the LW title was show up, but at the time, I thought I had no chance. I believed UCA to be like every other board project (and I wasn't necessarily wrong): a popularity contest. I figured that me, a relatively obscure board member, would have no chance at any success because I wasn't popular enough. That first night was pretty magical. I kept refreshing the topic to see that I actually had a shot of winning, and couldn't believe it when I actually did. At that point I said screw it, dug in, and started cutting promos. They probably weren't very good, and I'm not really sure how I went on that crazy streak that I did, going undefeated for a couple months, but I don't think I'd have taken this as serious as I have if all of that didn't happen. --- https://psnprofiles.com/Simmons-94 Congrats BKSheikah, BYIG Guru champion! |

| davidponte 02/07/18 12:27:03 PM #57 | Murloc Paladin not having as many early game tools has made the matchup much better for Spiteful Priest, at least in my experience. In the past, even with a Duskbreaker on 4, I'd still be losing 80% of my games, and there was always the threat of a Creeper after a board clear. I had 2 games last night where I didn't even have a play until turn 3 and still managed to beat it after the initial board clear because once it got to the midgame and I was still alive, Priest was able to outvalue it with big minions. --- https://psnprofiles.com/Simmons-94 Congrats BKSheikah, BYIG Guru champion! |
