It's an ongoing e-pop contest influenced heavily by pro wrestling. Users compete in matches for a variety of titles and tournaments, and voters pick the winners! There are plenty of gimmick matches and such to spice up the format, as well.
What do I need to do?
You don't HAVE to do anything, but participants are heavily encouraged to at least vote on UCA cards. It's more fun for everybody the more people get involved, though, so you're also encouraged to cut promos, start storylines, form alliances and tag teams, and talk smack in the topics.
So there are no requirements at all?
Almost. Three times a year, there's a roster purge period. If you don't vote during any of the 10 shows in that time frame, you're in danger of being purged from the roster! We're in the middle of such a period now, but I'm not going to purge any new signups, so you're set for four months or so. Even if you do purge (or just decide to quit) doors are pretty much always open to come back later!
What's the schedule like? How long until this crashes and burns?
There are three "TV" shows a week- Wednesday Night Ruin (posted late Tuesday nights), Wednesday Night COMBAT, (late Tuesdays) and Friday night Eruption. (late Thursdays) In addition, we have a more important "PPV" show every three weeks, posted late Saturday nights. (Shows are named after when voting ENDS, rather than when it begins.) We are not always the best about sticking exactly to schedule and sometimes have to have cop-outs like double cards, but UCA has outright missed only a handful of shows in its almost three-year history.
How often will I fight?
The idea is that everybody gets at least one match a week, and we rarely mess that up. The more successful and active users will tend to get more matches.
Who's in charge?
I'm running the show at the moment, and have been for over two years. XIII is the GM of Ruin, and I have some admin help from a variety of volunteers. The project was initially founded by Icehawk, and taken over by JaKyL before eventually passing on to me.
What's the structure like?
There are three "divisions" for singles wrestlers- Heavyweight, Middleweight, and Lightweight. It's a loose sorting- people change divisions rather frequently, especially since I try to keep them roughly balanced in numbers. You'll fight people MOSTLY in your own division, but not always. There's also a (THRIVING) tag team division that needs some fresh blood...and it's not mutually exclusive with a singles career, either. If you sign up, I'll figure out somewhere for you to go after I give you a match or three.
There’s also a recently implemented BRAND SPLIT, whereby each participant will belong to either Ruin or COMBAT. Ruin and COMBAT will be exclusive to wrestlers from, well, Ruin and COMBAT, while Eruption and PPV’s remain all-inclusive. Each brand has its own titles- both brands have versions of the HW and MW titles, and COMBAT has MELEE MAYHEM while Ruin has the LW title. Tag titles (and Jesterdom) are crossbrand, and the tag champs may appear on both brands until they lose the belts.
How about rankings?
There's a rubric for rankings within a division. Rankings aren't all THAT meaningful, but basically, if you beat somebody above you, you move to the position above them. If you tie them, you move to the spot below, and if you lose, nothing happens. You can't move out of your division this way, so if you beat somebody in a higher class than you, you just become #1 in your own. Battle Royals and some other gimmicky matches don't impact rankings. You can see the current roster and rankings in the master file linked at the top.
How do I join?
Just say so, here or in the main UCA topic. We're always taking new people.

Next PPV: NIGHT OF CHAMPIONS, where every title will be on the line, and only previous champions may challenge for each belt! After that: KING OF THE BOARD

XIII I know you want to keep up the Night of Champions tradition, but you have a more important tradition to honor: putting up the best card possible! YOU my friend, are perhaps the greatest GM this sport will ever see. You aren't the kinda guy to let himself be held down by little rules of the past like this, you are the BOLD and INNOVATIVE GM that we ALL love! Do the right thing! We want edwards!

My faith in him is UNSHAKEABLE. The man was once my greatest friend in UCA. I can't give up on him. It's a betrayal. Not only of Haguile but of my own personal values.
We will see Haguile vs. Nee. And Haguile will put on a top-tier match.
That is all that I ask. The boyband-loving, babyfaced epop superstar is buried under that amnesia somewhere. You all know it! (Well maybe you don't, Cobain, you weren't around when he was sane)

XIIIiscool (2:47 am): *gets in a car* I'M F***ING COMING FOR YOU RUSTY RustyMrMokka has left the room.
Sess 10-7 Ayvuir Sess is still the B8UCA MW Champion Ayvuir put up a solid fight here but Sess just had too much for him in the end. As for Sess' opponent at Night of Champions? It will be announced imminently!
eaed/America 9-8 ZeroSig/Zazi eaed/America JUST pull this one out, but it promises to be an outstanding match between eaed and Zazi in two weeks!
Nee 15-2 Swirl Uh, sorry Swirl. Well, somebody has to be a jobber to the stars!
JONA 11-5 PUN ...After losing narrowly to PUN last week, JONA wins heavily here. What an odd mini-feud!
War 4-12 KCF Huh. After War's strong entrance into the MW division, he looked pretty rough here as KCF was the runaway victor.
KP 7-9 WC WC stakes his claim once again for a championship opportunity!
Whiskey_Nick def. Crim, foolmo, Nio and Haguile Haguile was supposed to win god dammit. Oh well, Nick gets a special XIII favour.
I have decided that Sess' opponent at Night of Champions for the MW title will be none other than...his fellow member of team XIII... KCF! But it will be in a last chance match!
If KCF does not win, he cannot challenge for the title again until Sess loses it. I feel these two have had a multitude of great battles with and against each other, sometimes for the title, sometimes not. It comes to an end, however, at the PPV.
While we're on the subject of Night of Champions, I have also decided that JONA and PUN's rubber match will take place at that event. They're tied at one match apiece and we need to find out once and for all who the better man is. The twist? This match will take place inside a Steel Cage!
Thank you and tune in again sometime in the future for XIII DECIDES!

As an addendum to that edition of XIII DECIDES: Next week on Ruin, ZaziGuado takes on Warning_Crazy, JONA takes on Nio, and there will be HOT TAG-TEAM ACTION! Tune in for the hottest show in epop entertainment!
-- 2011 WWYD Champion I do things for money and games.
I'd watch out eaed. Even if you make it past Zazi I think WC might pose a serious threat to your title. We'll see how he performs against Guado next week!
And what's this I see? Some dissention between Sess and eaed? Sess even cussing on UCA programming?
SOUNDS LIKE A CHAMPION VS. CHAMPION MATCH TO ME!
EAED VS. SESS, next week on Ruin!

since mines is Devil may cry i probley would it up to the spiderboss and get killed off after that then ill yell LIGHT - ertyu on how far he'd make it in DMC
Indeed, only on Ruin, the premier brand in epop entertainment, will you get such heat!

XIII, I'm going to be real with you for a moment. If you want to give Haguile an HW title shot and rebuff edwards, who I hate to say it, is actually a worthy contender, that's just fine. But admit that it is much easier to justify not giving edwards a shot after I embarrassed edwards at Modern Warfare. I mean, the man's only saving grace was the match stipulation, which he himself chose.
So face it XIII, by whipping edwards, I've done you a favor. And would a good, honest, incorruptible booker not return with another favor himself? Prove yourself right. Prove the haters wrong. Make the sensible choice. Put me in the main event at Night of Champions
