TOMBAT Results for 7/1/2017

Stifled (+17)
Dp (+14)
Raven (+11)

Stifled survived the arduous Elimination Chase to be David’s challenger at King of the Board.
--

Strife – 7
Emerald – 5

It’ll be Tom and I facing off to see who becomes King for a year. People’s respect v. People’s fear: which will win out?
--

Luster – 9
Maniac – 6

Only one vote went to the lion, so we had to go with normal votes. A rush of Luster votes mid-match helped set the tone for victory.
--

eddv – 3
XIII – 7

XIII and Eddv have had their share of battles. This one goes XIII’s way.
--

David – 10
Squall – 1

Even an attack by CPU with a mic stand wasn’t enough to stop David’s run towards a title defense.
--

Wigs/Boko – 6
Apollo – 5

Things are looking down for the (soon?) to be former King. Eaed postponed his announcement in order to mess with Apollo’s head. Wigs and Boko were smart enough to set aside personal pride to take advantage with a big win.
--

Tom – 10
Shad – 1

Tom is ready for the finals, but after what I am about to say, I doubt he’ll be ready for me.
--
---

Looks like I still have a lot to learn before I can take you down, Strife. Don't worry, you haven't seen the last of me. In the meantime, go beat Tom so I can say I lost to the King!
---

Tom, I hope you are relishing this moment. The moment that UCA has given to both of us. We were chosen, not by ambition nor pride, but by chance, to take that which the King has left and continue the Kingdom in His stead. I have seen you do what I could not: stand side by side with Him as a tag team champion. However, it allowed me to rediscover something inside of myself: the ability to succeed on my own.

You have built a legacy of greatness through suave charisma and fleeting whims. The masses enjoy the steps you take to give UCA hope, entertainment, and joy. That has led you to a career renaissance, but it has also left you with no choice but to stand in my way. I have been forged in fire, fighting endlessly in tireless combat for a similar, but deadlier legacy: one built upon fear.

Can you sense it? Can you feel the people becoming discontent and angry? Ready to start riots at a moment’s notice once the King’s reign is no more? I say REJOICE AND WELCOME IT! Lie, cheat, rob, kill, spread violence all across UCA. It is what we all deserve for desiring change. I have stood aside Him, watched Him, advised Him. I was content to see Him become GOD! But by doing so, my own Darkness returned. I stamped over countless people to prove that might makes right. The strong will kill the weak, and I will prove you are weak. This is my biggest fight in my life. I need to show you how far down the rabbit hole I must go, for that is what will make me King. Sultan had the displeasure of seeing what happened When Death Calls…now he’s after you.

*Strife walks towards the camera, but ominous light flickers and disturbs his image*

*A largely empty room, a quiet spot down in the SSW base, an occupied business chair being the only thing that stands out.*

...Never really cared about titles. Gaudy... usually golden things that pass from one person to another, depreciating in value as the years go by, and more and more people say they've worn it. And yet they inflate egos. 'So many people have fought for this, and I have fought so hard for this, it has to mean something, right?' And, to those people, Oi suppose it does. Not me, however. Oi only care about the foight, and the quality of me competition, not the... popularity, of said competition, let's say.

*spins around in chair, hands steepled, leaning forward. ...Effect slightly ruined by the Morinaga Hi-Chews in his right hand. ('You can't spell Chiewldhood, without 'Hi-Chews')*

This is why Oi love me family in SSW. Say what you want, and OI'm sure your uncapitailised king will speak at length, but Oi enjoy my matches with them. They're all fun foight, interesting tactics, and the in-match banter is always enjoyable, even if Oi do lose more often than not. ...You have not lived until you've been spinning izuna dropped through a table by a fox that only comes up to your waist, for instance. ...Although he does keep apologising for that, for whatever reason.

Oi don't have that in the UCA. Everyone is so... silent, so focused on lobbying and 'proving' they're better than the bigger businesses, they don't have fun, unless they're the ones going over. To me point, none of our competitors, other than meself, are willing to go to other companies to compete, because they know that this is the only place where their 'fanbase' can get them victories, and not their actual skill.

*Sits back, pops a hi-chew in his mouth.*

And yet... they run their mouths about running us off, just because a lower-midcarder to- well, let's be honest here- jobber says we're leaving, because they assume that, just because Oi started here and work directly with them, Oi have final say, because that's how it works over *here*, in this festering pile of 'can't plan, so throw it together'. *shakes a finger* That's not how a *healthy* company operates. And that's why Oi won't be sad when this place dies it's final death, like it seems TNA finally has.

*leans forward, again.*

However, since my bosses say Oi have to work here in between the rest of my indy dates... Oi might as well... try to make the best of it. No point in staying angry, roight? Bringing that stress on yourself only drives you to an early grave, after all, and really, this place isn't worth the emotion.

*Takes a sip from an ice cold Wild Cherry Pepsi to his right, takes a breath, chokes for a few minutes*

ACKACKCOUGHCoughcoughcough

*pounds self on the chest for a bit, catches breath and breathes out.*

...So, as long as Oi'm here, in this place where... nothing really matters, and whatever happens here *stays* here... there's been something Oi've *always* wanted to do, since Oi was a wee lad, growing up on the tales of noble lords, samurai, dukes, Marquis... royals in general.

Oi've always wanted to commit regicide. ...A *new* king, to be precise. Never had interest in the position, no no, no, too much in the way of politics and pretending to care about your people, and Oi'm not that good an actor... but ending a new reign before it really has a chance to start... that intrigues me.

And, lo and behold... we find ourselves upon the cusp of a... new... dynasty. ...Well, 'new', neither of you are new to this 'Land of Opportunity', as a soon to be dead man keeps saying. This... barren wasteland is, are you? ...But you both wish to usurp your *current* king, although you both work for him. Heheh. Well, you two have fun with that, Oi'll just... wait and see.

Oh, and david? Sleep with one eye open. No one insults my family and lives.

*smiles serenely, and the room goes dark.*

Getting my head unfairly kicked in before big matches is becoming an un-fun habit of mine.

I'll see everyone at KotB, where I'll be sure to address all the situations.

Until then, I'm going to continue to attempt to apply ice to these microphone sized welts.
---

I had to wait for some administrative decisions before making my but I'll make my announcement here on Talk about 'bat!

Apollo has been challenging our shows, our history, and our tradition here in the UCA. We offered him help. He has returned with aggression and calling out members of this company and myself personally. We will not falter and we will not negotiate eith terrorists! Especially over something as silly as a title. No, Not a championship belt, but the ability to call himself "king." Tomorrow night, he will have to give up this title to one of two men he calls his allies.

The way he is acting I do not respect and will not tolerate. As much as I would love to defend the UCA myself, I must remain selfish and defend my tag team championship against the Dynasty. Therefore, Apollo will be punished by taking on one of the UCA's greatest champions, DPOblivion, in a Hell in a Cell match. DP is a hard worker in our industry and made it to the last day in the elimination chase and will help himself in a major way by taking out this pretender.

CPU, I am glad to see that you now have something to work for. I'm going to give the SSW KotB off. However, you want to take down a king? That's honorable. However, I cannot feed you a king, yet. But how about a Raven? Let's see how you far against him!

Finally, Sultan keeps attacking Maniac. Maniac has not responded but I will, I don't like that and therefore they will face off at KotB.

The PPV will be coming soon!
---

*A sing-song voice lilts over the intercom*

That will be quite adequate, eaedwards, and, while Oi can't speak for my family, (Sally was quite clear about that) Oi'd like to think they appreciate the willingness to work with them. (A ^_^ is somehow vocalised) And Oi do suppose Oi have to start off small...ish.

Jumping straight to regicide is a bit of a leap, even for one that's been working on his platforming, as it were. ...Although is a murder of a Raven that much of a-

(silence for a few minutes)

...Wot do you mean Oi'm mixing up my birds? Murder of ra- ...crows you say? ...What's a group of rav- .. a congress. ...Or an u-

(silence continues for another minute)

...Well, an unkindess towards a Raven *is* a lovely starting point. Much appreciated, eaed.

*Voice fades away with a slight screech*

*Breaks character*

I really did it...I can't fucking believe I did it. Did I seriously just win King of the Board? I...wanna be allhigh and mighty, but I just can't right now. This is the biggest moment in my UCA career. I didn't ask to be in the tournament. I didn't think I had any right to be. I kept thinking, "Tom's going to come back. Tom's going to come back. Just watch." But it didn't happen. That was just crazy.

Just...give me a few minutes. I'm sure I'll snap back into character or something. Just, whoever voted for me to get here, fucking thank you.

(E-claps Strife on the back.)

Ya work fuckin' hard, promo and tryin' to make sure everything you're involved in quality, dude, ya've deserved somethin' big like this for awhile now! ^_^
---

Congratulations to Strife. This is a big moment for him.

I do have a large concern that no one may want to hear but we only had 9 votes for our PPV and we have been averaging 8 votes in our weekly shows this month. Matches that require multiple votes sometimes don't get finished. I am really concerned about the future of this project.

Congrats strife!

9 votes oh man that is pathetic

as for concern on dwindling rosters and votes....a recruitment topic maybe? The board in general is dwindling but maybe there are people left who just skip over the topics not knowing what they are, or not knowing that they can still vote.

Can't hurt. I think it's more like UCA fatigue. I certainly feel like I have long since exhausted all avenues of possible recruitment among b8ers. The product needs reinvigorating, I think

I am still your Undisputed Champion of the World. I am still the top man in the company.

There is no time for celebration. I didn't even get a chance to post a victory promo before this card, whoops. At this point, the time for celebration in general has passed. It has been a long time since being UCA Champion was nothing more than a fantasy of mine, and, as my days as champion grow longer, it has become clear that, when you're at the top, your list of enemies quickly dominates your list of friends.

After my title win, and my title defense against Sultan, I asked, "what's next?", but we all know what's next, don't we?

I've got the ever growing threat that CPU poses to me constantly dividing my focus as champion. To sound like a broken record for just a moment, I'll reiterate that, at this point, it is clear that both CPU and I have laid all of our concerns out there. I have done all that I can to stop an SSW threat. Where my fears were once of a hostile takeover, I know see that none of the SSW superstars that I've faced pose a threat to me or my title.

CPU does. We've gone through a war of words, and he's chosen to blindside me, as others have before. As I said before my match at KotB, there will be retribution. I'm not in the position to tell anyone when, and with my Undisputed Title being my top priority, I can't make any promises of a swift solution. Rest assured, though, a solution there will be.

Now, speaking of the immediate present, a heartfelt congratulations goes out to Strife on becoming our newest King of the Board. As someone who, over the last year, has gone through many career firsts, I can imagine how it feels to finally realize goals.

The pleasantries end there, though. I've had enough run-ins with Strife to know that anything involving him is anything but easy, and I expect, in the lead-up to our battle, to be hit with everything in his arsenal, both physically and mentally.

At the end of the day, however, I am the Undisputed Champion. I have beaten Strife when championship gold was on the line, and I'll do it again.

Enjoy your coronation, and the bright lights that come with it, because the feeling of being on top of the world that you feel today is not one that will be replicated anytime soon.

---

david. Y'know what, Oi have offered you a solution to helping ease me mind about your talents, in going over to SSW were you can't rely on your UCA posse to back you up and say you deserve to go over.

And Oi know why. In your heart of hearts, you know this is the only place you're worth anything, and no other company will let you in their doors, so you lobby to get victories here on your home turf, the only place that will have you.

Yes, Oi blindsided you a few days ago, but that's what you deserve. A coward gets coward's tactics in turn. Oi've gone to other companies, face them on their own turf, more often than not, Oi've lost, but Oi made the effort. All you are is the runoff of this irradiated, dying wasteland, which you aren't even trying to help, as it's 'face'.

Do Oi see you going out there, spread the UCA name? Attempting to recruit people? Talk to newcomers, renew this company? No. Because you know what'll happen if you do. You'll lose your power here, and you will flail about in the undercard with nothing to do, with no belt, since that's the ONLY reason anyone else here wants to interact with you.

You can look for a solution between us, boy, but you will not find me when you finally come to get my answer.

(Dropping the accent)

Even WITH that title, your word, and you 'accomplishments' mean nothing to me. I gave you a chance to prove yourself outside of this company, and you ignored it, like you're ignoring your duties at the company's champion, despite you claiming to care for it. You're a selfish little bastard, only caring for your own image and nothing else. I pegged you the moment I first laid eyes on you, scumbag, and I see my opinion of you then was the one I should've kept.

You offer nothing to the business I love, and your constant insults to my family when they can't retort speaks more than anything they could ever say to you. And I have no desire to lay a finger on you again, because the first time stained my career than any gimmick, scandal or horrible thing I have said and will ever say, because I did the one thing I promise I would never do, and I wasted my own f***ing time.

(Puts the accent back on)

Stay in your castle, were your 'council' can back you up. Or, you could challenge me on my own turf. It's too late for that, mind you, after all of the chances Oi've given you and you haven't taken, but you could. There will be no answer, because, again, Oi have better things to do.

(Just as a note, entirely in character, even with the accent dropping there. No actually ill will meant. ^_^' also I can't be bothered to add all of the italics and bold tags again. >_>')

Bump

And... yeah, I was thinking... although it might be against it being... Board 8 UCA, but... going to other boards and seeing if there's interest in this elsewhere... maybe just... having UCA taking a hiatus to refresh in general. Has been going on for awhile, unless there was a break during the years I wasn't paying attention to the UCA.

There's also always transferring the UCA to other mediums, if we're talking reinvigoration, something... other than a popularity contest, like... well, TEW or if that's too much, EWR. I'd suggest one of the video games, maybe FPR or that new one that's coming out soon, but recording, editing, and commentary would be a *bitch and a half* to get running consistently, even if that was a thing people wanted to do, let alone making create-a-wrestlers for people... or anythin' with a create-a-character feature, honestly.
---

Could always bust out the amnesia bomb again
---

...amnesia bomb?
---

Basically a reboot that happened towards the end of my first admin run when I was running out of steam

I....would totally be up for continuing this in TEW in some fashion >_> I'd probably wanna do a stand-alone mod for that or something- we could use 1006-verse but it's an "all-time" kinda roster and a lot of folks will get pirated by bigger companies. I doubt that would be super popular but I dunno!

I am already halfway planning to make a FPW matchtype when that comes out but yeah I don't think anybody is gonna be able to do weekly shows of that <_< We did have a project a lot like that back in the day though!

RESULTS!

DP - 3
Apollo - 4
Apollo hits 4 first, so he wins!

David - 7
David putting the "undisputed" in...undisputed? I'm not clever.

Boko - 0
Solio - 0
Luster - 2
GTM - 0
Machete - 0
Luster outlasts the competition to come away with only mild candle burns!

Raven - 4
Flock - 6
3 on 1 proves too much for Broken Raven.

Tom - 5
Stifled - 4
Tom has to resort to a pin to win!

Stevie - 1
Sultan - 2
Poor guys got left in the dust

Shad - 3
CPU - 11
CPU Grabs the spatula (that may or may not be made of gold like the one from spongebob) and never lets it go as he gives shad a nice spatula-shaped imprint on his face!

---

...NEIN!

I did not make it this far to come up short due to a weak-minded infidel who doesn't even exist in this company! Instead of rightfully dethroning David, I get thrown in matches with a broken computer, or better yet, uneven 3-on-1 matches! And these fans do not help either! I hijacked Stifled's bag of letters from his locker room; these are letters written to Zero Signal, like he's going to magically reappear soon. You'd have a better chance getting a hold of Santa Claus! Look at some of these letters...

"Dear Zero, please recover soon! Broken Raven's constant whining is a cancer to this company. Sincerely, Tom"

Young Thomas still can't tell the difference between whining and protesting, but w/e. Anyway...

"Dear Zero, you need to return soon and silence the Broken Raven forever. Love Timmy"

Timmy has a disease that forces him to cheer for people like Zero Signal and Roman Reigns. Hey, here's a letter for me, how bout them apples!

Dear Broken Raven

No u

Love DNEA :3

......... *angrily throws bag of letters out of the ring* I'm the leader of the next world! I will not tolerate these desperate cries from the fans and locker room! I determine what you see, not any of you!

Identity crisis's suck!
---

Thank God that doesn't happen to me anymore. By the way, what happened with that time split thing? Wasn't there a Royal Rumble where Eaed had two votes, eliminations, or entries at exactly the same time?
---

Both gms posted the entrance at the same time so I came in twice by accident
---

Had that ever happened before?
---

I think we've usually been good about communicating for that kinda thing it just was fuzzy that time when exactly the handoff was happening.

hey it's tombat

TOMBAT Results for 7/8/17

Apollo/Strife/Tom – 5
david/Sultan/eaed – 4

The Kingdom continues surging forward.
--

XIII – 4
CPU – 5

CPU's has made quite a few enemies lately, but that didn't stop him from winning a close one.
--

emerald – 9
Wigs – 1

Emerald rebounded nicely from the loss to David by taking Wigs out.
--

Boko – 4
Luster – 5

Luster's been racking up wins. He'll be featured on this week's UCA Rewind!
--

Raven – 9 (ZSig – 1)
Stevie –

Clean sweep for Raven, but ZSig showed up to not only bust his nose, but pick up a vote of his own.
--

Machete – 2
Solio – 7

Solio made sure Machete's reign as Jester continues to be "not" fun.
--

UCA REWIND NEXT!
---

UCA REWIND TIME!

Summer Spectacular Main Event Set!
After the biggest win of his career, Strife succeeded in becoming the new King. His coronation speech conjured an image of turning UCA in a temple of sadomasochistic violence and mayhem, where only the strong survive. David responded, knowing this fight will not be an easy one. Strife has a future MoT defense against Sultan, while David has been fanning the flames of CPU's charge. With the main event title match just weeks away, how will the champion and the new King handle the road to get there?

Full of Luster
Luster fought hard in KotB, and now has consecutive wins within the LW Division. Wigs needs a new challenger. Is Luster the man for the job?

Voices from the Past
Raven has dealt with a personal war. After a slight reprieve, ZeroSignal ambushed him again last week on TOMBAT and crushed his nose. He is collecting pieces of the BrokenRaven. What is the end goal?
---

*attacks 13 for no reason*
---

hello uca people

if you have a specific vision for what you look like and/or how you wrestle, this would be a good time to share it!
---

O...k.

Um...Looks wise, a thinner or shorter Bray Wyatt x Sheamus hybrid build, decked out in tons of red and black (love that sort of motif). Similar fighting style to those two, though less roughousing and more tactical submission/limb targeting attacks. Mostly head and neck. I mean, I've spent the better part of five years choking people. It makes sense.
---

...this is fairly sudden... but... hmm.

Think a thinner mixture of Dave Crist and Scott Norton, dressed in white and pink, with a mixture of Toru Yano and Kikutaro's style, delving into Marty Scurll and TAKA Michinoku but not on either's level territory when calling for a more serious tone . Mostly comedy based, but serviceable at most stuff.
---

Like Kane but smaller and more agile. I guess.
---

I like power moves like suplexes and powerbombs.

As for appearance, I've always really liked Kevin Nash's ring attire. The tank top and the frilly pants. I just don't have the long blonde hair and quad injuries. Some short, shaggy brown hair will do instead.
---

Less of a power guy, more of a speedy guy. I never watched wrestling so...do whatever you want to me I guess
---

Id imagine sultan being super muscular kind of like Rasul from Aladdin. Also same kind of dress

I think I'd wrestle like big show mixed with abyss
---

Idk why but i imagine you being like seth rollins (more for Tom less for you but thats what i think off)
---

I dont' know who that is so that gives you an idea of how little I know, lol
---

Something like a mix between Rollins and Balor, maybe like an Edge? Not the biggest guy on the roster, but enough that I look like I belong.

I'm more of a trunks and boots guy than the pants or shorts.

Moveset can be any amalgamation of those I mentioned, I don't really have anything specific in mind but I like all of their styles.

Orton's powerslam is one of my favourite moves, if you want to incorporate that.
