What is UCA?

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.

No it implies you shouldnt be pushing anyone. But even Tom, who does occasionally push people, its almost never his own stable.

Your booking sucks it seriously does. Dante could book a better Ruin on happy pills.

You book the same people against each other regularly, you feed lezzie and the browns to WC, eaed, and Extha, and then youre all shocked and surprised when woops Nio isnt an HW anymore howd that happen?

Your own shock at the innaccuracy of your own ranking system is all the proof I need of the major shortcomings of your booking.

We're going in circles though because your brain isnt capable of forming complex thoughts.

Now THIS makes sense. Tom you are like the China of backstage politics. You "surrender" to WotR, pretend to go along with their "face" antics and lo and behold, its the biggest heel megastable of all time now, with only Nick being kind enough to show your true colors.

Whiskey on the Rocks brand IS the Corporation. Very clever Tom, but now that the Ruse is over, it is time for everyone to rise up and react accordingly.

#fireTomandXIII

It is up to the XFL to make this a reality. At King of the Board. Put your money where mouths are, dickwads.

XIII vs. Eddv winner gets Ruin. The XFL and Whiskey on the Rocks are BANNED from ringside.

Lets find out if he REALLY deserves it.

If he wants it, fine he gets it. Hell, Id be willing to give it to Boko Utd to do by committee.

I dont even really want the book, I was just saying Id be willing to if no one else stepped up.

You can give it up as a stipulation for the match. An I quit match, perhaps?

And you will agree with this, if you have any sortof testicular fortitude.

Also I don't know what you XFL guys are complaining about.

I showed the faith in one of your own. A former lightweight, ZeroSignal. I didn't have to include him in the round-robin - hell, I could have included MYSELF in that instead of him. I'd have more claim to it, certainly! But no, I gave him a chance. And he repaid my faith. That's what being a good GM is about, taking chances on people with great potential - something plebians like edwardsdv would never understand.

And no, I'm not agreeing to your match, eddv, because it's poor business for everyone. It's bad for UCA to lose their best GM, it's bad for the UCAniverse without me putting on 5-star matches every week. It's just a bad idea in general.

Besides I don't know why you would want to fight me again. I'm clearly better than you in the ring. How many times have I beaten you in single and tag matches? heh.

Me losing my job as Ruin GM is absolutely not an option. It's not on the table. If I ever get tired of it, I will make arrangements for a successor. But I'm not going to be manipulated into losing the job I love.

Due to your actions you do not deserve the book. Period.

I have called your honor into question and Iam saying if you still deserve the book lets put it to a damn vote. Id you're so confident that youre doing a good job PUT UP or SHUT UP. At King of the Board. My friends and your friends barred from voting.

I dont CARE if I am better than you or any of that nonsense. This is about more than that.

If you want to fight me, you do it under my terms or not at all.

Or you know

You're just a chicken. A hypocrite. A windbag. A moss covered three handled family credenze. A low down scoundrel. A Low-down criminal of the lowest caliber. A Filthy, Dirty, Disgusting, Brutal, Bottom-Feeding Trash Bag Ho.

And you dont technically need a girlfriend either when you can whack off but that doesnt keep you from feeling lonely.

You'll do it because you need the validation (why else would you have ralled in user ofthe year)

And because I know deep down you want to shut me up. You want to prove that youre right about this to the world because I am winning this argument and you have no other tools at your disposal.

What argument are you winning? All I'm seeing is you being objectively wrong, again, and me telling you you're wrong, again.

My record as a competitor validates me as a competitor and my record as an excellent GM validates me as an excellent GM. Why would beating you again validate me at all?
