Alright brosephs, here we go. Solio's final memories of the UCA. It's gonna be chill.

I remember the very first day I came into the UCA, I was paired up with GTM and immediately faced off against Whiskey on the Rocks for the tag titles. And we won. What an entrance, right? Only the beginning of course, and certainly not the last time I'd face off against XIII in any capacity.

Grand Team Mayhem was strong and will forever be a thing, but we never found the right time to fully go after it. Plus, GTM has always been a short poster of fun small things and I used to be the big speech kind of guy. So we just kinda had different styles.

My first true feud was against Stevie (#downwithStevie), and for I think maybe the only time in the history of B8, he beat me. Twice. And then I tied him for a third time and was banned from challenging him again. But I moved up, and at my first EpopMania, I took the IM Championship off of Menu and beat Stevie in the same match. Big step forward.

By the way, do you all remember when I got upset because Stevie was being inserted into that match by XIII and I was tired of competing against Stevie and so I ranted about it? Yikes. Thank God we're past that part of Solio. I think I was like 14 years old at the time lol. Also somewhere in there I guest booked Eruption (RIP) and I fuckin' killed it. Big part of my UCA time started on that guest show, but we'll get to that later.

Anyways, my first defense as IM Champion was against Dp. Ohhhhh yeah buddy. That's where that one started. I believe I won a match that allowed me to decide the stipulation of the title match, and I created my first match gimmick. Taipei Deathmatch. Taipei Deathmatches are total fucking bullshit to be quite honest yeah they're pretty awesome. Hardcore match where the competitors have a limited capacity to vote. Later, I'd also create the coin-eating/belt-polish chugging matches and the Blood Sport (still the greatest thing to ever happen to UCA tag team wrestling IMO, sad we didn't have it back when UCA had tons of voters). Anyways, I beat Dp, and continued on to the great record-setting IM Championship Reign that I had. That was probably the time in UCA where I felt the best. But then I became King. And then I feuded with Sir Chris. And I feuded with XIII. Won the Undisputed Championship twice. Had the longest combined days as Undisputed Champion for a short time after Kora finally dethroned me, so to speak. And there was all that crazy shit with the Solioctopus. Thank you Kora for that.

Nick took over for XIII around that time, which was both a fantastic success and a miserable failure at the same time (mostly just a success because of Mario Kart Madness). Then I got a PM from Nick asking if I wanted to book Eruption semi-permanently, and of course I wanted to fucking book Eruption. Eventually, XIII came back, and then he let me take over. Not only was that super awesome IMO, it was also pretty cool to see that I was trusted as a booker. Now, my run as admin as also both a fantastic success and a miserable failure at the same time, since I was a junior in high school dealing with girlfriend issues and eventually I quit doing it because I was an emotional mess at the time. But the booking was good enough while I was doing it IMO.

Side note: booking UCA is WAY more work than it seems. Trust me. Trying to keep up with the master file, archiving discussion topics, booking each card, keeping up with all the feuds... it's a lot to keep up with. Props to XIII and Football and Tom and literally anyone else who has done it for a considerable amount of time.

So then, when I left... I came back for a bit... maybe won the MM Championship at some point? Came back again, won the LW Championship in the name of fun!, got my Grand Slam, and left again. Lots of on and off. Now I'm back for this last time, and I'm both sad and happy.
