Topic	B8UCA Presents UCA10 - Member Reminisce and Kick the S*** Out of Each Other
Strife2 02/08/18 5:37:55 PM #90:	Top 5 Best 5. Lists, Lists, Lists I remember doing stuff like UCA Rewind, Top 10 lists, OVR rankings, UCA Master File, votals, and notably the Title Sheet. I think stuff like this just added a unique element to the UCA presentation. 4. Roleplaying I think I have a hidden drive to be an actor, improv, or roleplay writer. UCA was my chance to experience all those things while living my dream out as a wrestler (in a way). Promos, feuding, getting into character, finisher names, developing matches and finishes: all that stuff was a blast. I eventually found D&D, and I believe UCA was the reason I got the bug. What I learned here translates to that so well, and its what I will focus on to fill the void when UCA is done. 3. Tag Team Opportunist I had a knack for being a good #2 guy in a tag team scenario. Sultans of Swing, Young Guns, Knights of the Night, Moment of Zen, and the Kingdom were just great all around. I usually came up with the names or spearheaded promos or feud ideas, but knew enough (in most cases) to work with the partners and what they wanted. We usually reaped the benefits. 2. DARKNESS! The impetus for my UCA stint actually started as a running gag on APWT. In every topic start, I pulled off a one-time joke from Prime Time Players manager Abraham Washington. He once yelled YO MAMA at Kofi during a match, and threw a shoe at him. XIII saw me doing this gag for a few months and was like, join UCA and throw shoes or something. I took the shoe idea, but incorporated the character Cloud of Darkness from FFIII (being super hot in Dissidia and scaring me shitless when playing FFIII DS), worked with some weird Goldust/Kane ideas, metal music references, and the Shoe of Darkness persona was born. I was a perverse, dark, twisted thing, my promo style was in third person, bolded, voted for what the UCA wanted rather than my own wants, and just reveled in building, Strife is totally fucked in the head. I overdid it quite a bit, because I promoted way too much during that first six months. It seemed to catch on better during the Knights of the Night run. I still feel even now, I cant escape that vibe of inhabiting that character, goofy and disturbing as it is. It kind of represents a Demon Balor or Bray Wyatt to me. I am myself, but when I needed to, all the dark, gothic weirdness manifested as callbacks. 1. 2017 I had my moment when I retired and people gave me a good sendoff. I was perfectly content being Apollos manager to help build the Kingdom label. Promos were my strong suit. Sultan came calling, so I stepped up so Apollo could focus on MITB. I always felt like I will lose big matches, so I was fully ready to drop the match and give him the rub. I kinda wonder why I won to be honest. So I figured, Ill give it a shot as a competitor again. What do I have to lose? The Taybles Title resurgence, KotB, and the current Kingdom run were just amazing to me. But after that Hardcore match mess, the moment that previously defined me died when I beat David earlier this year. To be told, All that shit is behind you. We believe in you as the Man. was something I dreamed about. I wanted to be in UCA solely to fight back against what Id done to Eaed, XIII, and so many other people. To think it actually happened was special. I dropped my faade as the Last King and just was me during that speech. Well, thats everything from me. I know that was a lot, and but it felt like bearing everything these past five years. I will miss UCA dearly, because despite some very big problems, I found friends, supporters, and new hobbies that I never knew I wanted. I was here, and I wont forget it. --- "Evening caress, Always yearning, I must confess, The stars aren't burning" Copernicus - Candlemass <cite>Strife2 posted [p:895722467] in B8UCA Pres...
