XIII

**XIII**, also known as **XIII is cool** and **XIII\_rocks**, has been the member of B8UCA since June 2011. In a multi-year career, he rose through the ranks quickly in the company and became Ruin GM 6 months after joining, before becoming permanent admin of the company 9 months later in September 2012, a position he held until June 2015 when he handed the reigns to Solioxrz362. He has held 22 titles in his time on the active roster, including being the first person in UCA history to hold a championship (the tag-team championship) on 10 different occasions. He is also a two-time Hall of Famer, one of only 5 (the others being Maniac, Boko, Dante and Whiskey\_Nick).

Throughout his career, XIII has accumulated a number of memorable rivalries and feuds, as well as forming the team largely recognised as the greatest of all time, Whiskey on the Rocks. He is perhaps most known fori infamously winningthe title by tricking you all into thinking he was Rad Link 5 in the infamous I won the title by tricking you all into thinking I was Rad Link 5 incident that took place in August 2014.

## Career

####

### Debut and Early Feuds (June-Dec 2011)

XIII joined UCA in June 2011 after being recruited by then-Heavyweight Champion, ctesjbuvf, in board8chat. He joined at the same time as Ayvuir and, in his first ever match, fought Ayv to a tie. He was quickly recruited by eddv into a new tag-team, dubbed "The World's Most E-Popular Team", and they quickly earned a tag-team title shot. However, this attempt was ill-fated, with the team losing heavily to champions Regaro Ukiera and TheKnightOfNee. After this, XIII abandoned eddv and floated around the LW division for a little while.

XIII was inspired into singles action when he saw the man he'd tied in that Ayvuir claim the LW title. XIII would then challenge Ayvuir to a LW title match at Birth By Fire, which he won, securing his first ever championship. After retaining the title against JONALEON1 3 weeks later at the CamPAIN Trail, XIII lost the title back to Ayvuir in an impromptu fatal four-way. JONALEON would then win a battle royal for a title shot at UCAnniversary, last eliminating XIII, and a livid XIII challenged JONA to a tables match where if he won he would be added to the match, making it a triple-threat, agreeing in return that if he lost he would not be able to challenge for the title again while Ayvuir was champion. TheKnightOfNee's tabling vote proved fatal for XIII in that match, and XIII's rage at Nee lead to a match between the two at UCAnniversary. Nee won, handing XIII his first PPV loss.

An obsessed XIII plotted to humiliate Ayvuir, and was given the perfect opportunity to do so when Jakyl returned for his annual guest-booking period. Jakyl decided instead to give users the opportunity to book, and when the combination of XIII, eddv and GTM - an imprompty faction briefly known as the Third Rail - defeated TimJab, Lopen and Semifinal vs Belarus in three separate singles matches, XIII was able to book one show a week for three weeks. XIII used his power to cause Ayvuir to lose the LW title to KamikazePotato in the first ever Grizzly Bear Cage Deathmatch, which also involved Drakeryn. With the title now removed from Ayvuir's clutches, XIII was able to challenge for the title again, and he did so at Champions Are Born, winning a fatal-four way TLC match also including Regaro\_Ukiera and Ayvuir.

At this point, the faction known as the Third Rail combined with the Haguile Foundation to form the Haguile Third Rail Foundation. This merge meant that this new supergroup held all of UCA's championships at once - XIII held the LW title, eddv held the MW title, Haguile held the HW title and GTM held the tag-team titles with Haguile. Ruin GM X\_Dante\_X then responded by vacating every title in UCA, angered by the multiple title changes that had taken place during the guest booking period. Haguile immediately won his HW title back, and then XIII presented to Dante an idea - a historic twelve-man tag-team match pitting the dethroned champions, Haguile/GTM/edwardsdv/XIII against Dante's team of Dante/Boko/AlecTrevelyan/KamikazePotato and Tom's team of Dark\_Spiral/Tom Bombadil/Maniac64/SensiShadeSlaye in a match with the Tag, MW and LW titles on the line. The Haguile Rail Foundation Third won, making XIII a 3-time LW title. But Ayvuir challenged XIII for the LW title once more at Exile, this time in a Cage Match, and Ayvuir won.

XIII's nefarious obsession with winning the LW title and humiliating Ayvuir reached a new low when he challenged Ayvuir to a rematch, this time a Hardcore Match. XIII would take a quick lead before asking moderator nintendogirl1 to close the topic because of the blatant spam taking place inside it. ngirl instead voted for Ayv enough times to cause a tie, and then closed the topic. This caused the title to be vacated and a triple-threat to occur between Ayv, ngirl and XIII in the first all-british triple-threat match in UCA history. XIII won again, making him a 4-time LW champion.

Having in his mind decisively proved his superiority to Ayvuir and set a record for LW title reigns, XIII lost the championship to War13104 and sought to move up in UCA. He saw an opportunity when Dante resigned as Ruin GM, competing with Dr\_Football for the position. He won the ensuing 2/3 falls match at Iconoclasm and became the new GM of the Ruin brand.

###

### Ruin GM and HW Champion

Also at Iconoclasm, the Haguile Third Foundation Rail finally imploded. Haguile defeated eddv for the MW title, leaving the company with the HW and MW titles as well as his half of the tag titles. This led to the HW title and MW title being declared vacant and the Ultimatum Tournament prize being the HW title itself. XIII won the vacant MW title in a triple-threat featuring Ayvuir and AlecTrevelyan, while simultaneously entering the Ultimatum tournament. With wins over nintendogirl and eddv, XIII reached the final of the Ultimatum tournament where he faced his old rival Ayvuir. XIII won the match very narrowly, thus winning his first HW championship just 6 months after joining. On the same card, he lost his MW title to Boko. He then defended against Ayvuir in a rematch the following night on Ruin - with his tag-team partner Nick the special guest referee. Needless to say, XIII won. XIII then narrowly defended the title against ctesjbuvf the following night on Combat, before losing the title at Eruption, again to Boko - ending his first HW title reign at just 5 days.

XIII was unable to win the UCA Rumble, but when Haguile returned with the HW title he had left with the company had two HW titles in it. eddv, Tom and XIII all pursued Haguile, leading to a Fatal Four-Way for the new "UCA title" at Epopmania IV. Though XIII came close to victory, eddv claimed the win. eddv would then join Tom's corporation.

### The Brand Split; Longest-Reigning Tag-Team Champion

After Epopmania, the Brand Split era began. XIII was the sole GM of the Ruin brand, with eddv the UCA champion of said brand. After Epopmania, eddv had turned on his ally XIII to become part of Tom's corporation. As a result, XIII simultaneously feuded with tag-team champions Boobs and Violence as well as eddv and his tag-team partner JeffreyRaze. At Pandemonium, eddv retained the title against Chronic1000 while Whiskey on the Rocks defeated Boobs and Violence for the first of XIII's 10 tag-team championships.

eddv would then lose the title to TheKnightOfNee the following month, allowing XIII to book a tag-team titles vs. Ruin career match the following night. eddv and Raze were defeated by Whiskey on the Rocks and were thus summarily fired from Ruin.

XIII then focussed on retaining the tag-team titles, despite Tom's attempts to get them away from WotR. Tom had WotR defend in handicap matches (against all 3 then-members of Boko United), against thrown-together tag-teams (eddv and Maniac, his corporation underlings), or in multi-team matches, but WotR were able to retain in every case. The reign continued throughout Spring and Summer with the help of a mysterious outsider known as "the Rally Man".

When Whiskey on the Rocks retained their titles against the longest-reigning champions ever, the No Lynch Kru (Tom and Wigs), XIII would prevent Tom from booking any more tag-team title defences by incapacitating and capturing him before replacing him with a robot double who was more amenable to XIII's desires. XIII would take this opportunity to write in an iron-clad contract that allowed WotR to control all future title defences. This allowed XIII to prevent a tag title defence against Sir Chris and Drakeryn.

When Tom returned, however, XIII's scheme unravelled and the match was booked, superceding XIII's ironclad contract because the match was planned already. Worse, Whiskey on the Rocks seemed destined to implode when it was revealed Nick was the Rally Man. Drakeryn, though, did not want to participate, which left Chris (a member of Dr\_Footbal's XFL stable) without a partner. This allowed WotR to retain again in a no-contest, thus surpassing the all-time record for length of a title reign in B8UCA (this record was surprassed later by Maniac64's 2012-13 HW title reign, though it remains the tag-team title reign length record).

The reveal of XIII's "replace Tom with a robot double" scheme meant he had turned fully heel once again, and embraced his darker side by wontonly abusing his power, rigging matches for him and WotR to win, etc. This included turning on eaedwards, a user he had supported since his debut on the first post-split Ruin. XIII forced eaed to defend in a LW title Battle Royal two weeks before Summer Spectacular, ensuring eaed lost the title he had struggled so hard for.

WotR were able to uneasily put their differences behind them when Jeff Zero - set on fire by Whiskey Nick on Nick's PPV debut the previous December - returned to UCA and joined the XFL. This gave Chris the tag-team partner he needed, and a No Disqualification match (thus mitigating the influence of rallying) between WotR and this version of the XFL was booked; this was the last mandatory title defence for WotR, and had they won they would have had control over all their title defences in the future. However, at Summer Spectacular, WotR finally lost the titles to the XFL. Despite this, Nick - who had won the previous month's King of the Board tournament - defeated TheKnightOfNee to win the UCA title on the same night.

### Promotion to full admin; "#God"

After this defeat, XIII's ego went crazy and he began to declare himself the #God of UCA. No longer tag-team champion, XIII moved into a feud with eaed, who was pursuing the Ruin GM after being robbed of the LW championship. At Purgesaurus Rex, XIII defeated eaed, but continued to feud with him on and off while also entering the inaugural Bound For Whiskey series.

XIII then enacted a plan to remove Tom from power once and for all. During the Champions Are Born guest-booker period, XIII was given the job of running Eruption instead of Ruin, while Dante handled Ruin. Tom went on a cruise to South America. However, since Eruption was a cross-brand show, XIII was given control over both rosters. He thus instantly fired Tom, which by default made him the sole owner of B8UCA. XIII's ego then went into overdrive, and declared that all UCA superstars must kneel to him, their "#God", within one week or they would be fired. It was revealed however that Tom had gambled away half of his ownership to Dr\_Football while on said cruise, making XIII and DFF 50-50 partners in their ownership of UCA.

In the meantime, Whiskey on the Rocks also won back the tag-team championships, from Boko United, and also added mcflubbin to their ranks to strengthen the stable and WotR brand. This made Nick a double champion. XIII beat eaed again at UCAnniversary, and placed fourth in the Bound For Whiskey series, allowing him access to the semi-final round. However, at Exile he lost to eventual winner Rad Link 5 and shortly afterwards XIII and Nick lost the tag titles to Sir Cobain and eaedwards, ensuring eaed got a measure of revenge on XIII. Meanwhile, XIII's frustration towards his fellow owner Dr\_Football reached boiling point, and at Serious Survival XIII led a team that defeated Dr\_Football's. On the same night, Whiskey\_Nick lost his UCA title to Rad Link 5 and was promptly killed by TA-GAR, LORD OF THE VOLCANO, leaving XIII with no tag-team partner.

XIII bounced back from this by declaring himself the #1 contender to RL5's championship at the next PPV, Apocalypse. He won, becoming a two-time Heavyweight Champion, before losing it back to RL5 in a Christmas Match 10 days later. At the 2012 Spammy Awards, XIII won for Stable of the Year (Whiskey on the Rocks Brand, which by this point had added mcflubbin), Team of the Year (Whiskey on the Rocks), Moment of the Year (XIII firing Tom and assuming control of UCA), and Booker of the Year.

### Whiskey on the Rocks EXPLODE

During his acceptance speech for Team of the Year, XIII mocked his departed tag-team partner, claiming to be a "superior being" who "did not need a partner". XIII sought to win the UCA Rumble and win the UCA title back, but Nick returned from the dead and attacked XIII, eliminating himself and his partner. Nick revealed he had returned from the dead with a mission from the real God - to fight XIII and bring him back to the side of good. XIII refused a match with Nick, so Nick instead entered the Ultimatum Tournament. With the Ultimatum Tournament prize a shot at the HW title at Epopmania, Nick planned to win the HW title and use it to lure XIII into a match. XIII tried everything to prevent Nick's victory, including the kidnap of a chinese orphan known as UCA\_Pao, but Nick foiled him at every turn until the final match with Boko. Here, XIII rallied against Nick to ensure Boko's victory, and then promptly fired his former tag-team partner.

However, Dr\_Football rehired Nick to the COMBAT brand, and allowed Nick any match he wanted at Epopmania. Nick chose to fight XIII there, and so the match was set. Unable to back out of the match, XIII instead upped the stakes by adding two stipulations. One, that there would be No Disqualifications, and two, that it would be a Submission match - and if the user with the fewest votes refused to submit, they would be forced to leave permanently. At Epopmania V, Nick defeated XIII, who submitted to avoid a permanent departure from UCA.

The following week on Combat, Nick called XIII out to the ring to end the feud. When a cowed XIII agreed, Nick would reveal it was all a trick and assault XIII from behind, completing a rare double-turn and turning XIII babyface again. XIII would then defeat Nick in a Mud Cage match at Pandemonium. This mirrored the stipulation at that event the previous year, when WotR had won their first tag-team championship. This time it was XIII who wished to end the fighting between them. He legitimately earned #1 contendership to RL5's UCA championship at Unity, but passed this contendership to Whiskey Nick. Nick lost, and when XIII attempted to console him, attacked XIII again. Their feud would therefore be settled once and for all in the second ever LETHAL IRONMAN match, a match that took place over all 3 days of the PPV. Here, XIII defeated Nick by 4 falls to 1, ending the feud.

In the meantime, XIII and Football agreed to end the brand split, with XIII's turn to the good side ending the animosity between the brands.

### Reunion Tour

After Lethal Lottery, XIII and Nick agreed to put the past behind them and reunited against their old enemy, eddv, and his new stable Shots and Squats - Caelus and TheLastObelisk. At the following PPV, Modern Wafare, WotR reunited for the first time in 6 months and defeated them in a tag-team match. Emboldened by this, WotR would then challenge Korayashi and GTM to a match at Night of Champions for the tag-team championships, and they won, becoming 3-time champions. The impromptu team of Rad Link 5 and Sir Cobain challenged them next, on Day 1 of King of the Board. WotR retained, but then lost to RL5 and Cobain the following week on Ruin. On Day 2 of King of the Board, Nick defeated Nee to become a 2-time HW champion. With Nick scheduled to defend his title against Korayashi at Summer Spectacular, XIII instead brought flubbin back into the WotR brand faction. Teaming with flubbin, XIII won a rubber match with RL5 and Cobain to become a 4-time tag-team champion. All 3 members of WotR were recognised as tag-team champions under the Freebird Rule.

WotR then feuded with a new stable, The Young Guns - a team filled with three hungry, young competitors. Apollo\_Phoenix, Strife2 and TheSultanOfSlam all challenged WotR in a 3-on-3 match for the tag-team titles, and The Young Guns were successful. XIII then unsuccessfully challenged Korayashi for the Undisputed Title in a triple-threat match at UCAnniversary, which also featured Ytterbium\_70, but teamed once again with flubbin to win the tag titles back at The CamPAIN Trail - from Boko United, who had beaten The Young Guns. While champion, XIII challenged again for the Undisputed Title at Champions Are Born, but tied with Tom Bombadil, causing Tom to retain.

WotR lost the titles to GRAND TEAM MAYHEM - the team of GTM and newcomer Solioxrz362 - but won them back two days later in a rematch, and retained against The Bosses (eaedwards and Dr\_Football), Super Best Friends Wrestle (Maniac64 and eddv), and Stifled Lives (StifledSilence and Bokonon\_Lives). The match with Super Best Friends Wrestle was a First Blood double title match which also saw XIII challenging for Maniac's MELEE MAYHEM title. Winning the match meant XIII won the first MELEE MAYHEM title of his career. Maniac won the title back a month later at Serious Survival, however, with TheSultanOfSlam as Special Guest Enforcer.

At the final PPV of the year, dubbed MOUNTAIN OF MAYHEM, WotR were on the brink of collapse again when mcflubbin cashed in his Money in the Bank contract on GTM to become a world champion for the first time. Nick was jealous of mcflubbin and they met in a triple-threat Grizzly Bear Cage Deathmatch, also including GTM. GTM won, and Nick/flubbin were able to put their differences behind them. XIII rekindled a rivalry with old enemy eaedwards, this time as they competed for the #40 spot in the UCA Rumble. Here, eaed picked up his first win over XIII (and would use that #40 spot to main-event Epopmania VI and win Undisputed Title).

### Early 2014; feud with eddv, 1000 days of XIII celebration

In the meantime, Strife2 defeated eddv in a Loser Leaves UCA match. This led to XIII leading a massive celebration that his most hated rival, and the man who had been his tag-team partner when he first joined, was gone from UCA permanently, and to ensure eddv was wiped from the record permanently, XIII replaced all mention of eddv in the Master File with the words "blank space" and banned anyone from mentioning his name for fear of an immediate suspension and banning from receiving any title shots.

However, XIII missed attacking eddv and found that eddv had become his defining enemy - his polar opposite - and that UCA wasn't the same without him. XIII therefore rehired eddv, but followed this with a furious assault and the announcement that they would face off at Epopmania in a match three years in the making. eddv responded by costing WotR the tag-team titles in what was a tryout match for Caelus in Caelus' attempts to join the faction. This led to Caelus facing mcflubbin at Epopmania in a "WotR tryout match", which Caelus won.

At Epopmania VI, XIII defeated eddv in what was their first one-on-one match since January 2012. Since the match was about who had the best idea for the future of UCA, and XIII had won, XIII took his victory as a mandate to do whatever he wanted. This led to him once again declaring himself #1 contender to the Undisputed Championship against eaedwards, but he was defeated by eaed again, this time in a TLC match. At the same event, Whiskey on the Rocks brand faction - this time Nick and mcflubbin - were able to win the tag-team titles, again, this time from TheKnightOfNee and Dr\_Football, making WotR 7-time tag-team champions.

XIII then threw a celebratory "1000 days of XIII" celebration edition of Ruin, celebrating his 1000th day in the company. All titles were on the line, and XIII granted himself a MELEE MAYHEM title match as part of a Lockbox Challenge, but was unsuccessful. Worse for XIII, the team of mcflubbin and Caelus were defeated by Stifled Lives, making WotR's 7th reign a short one.

XIII then sought to put an end to Sir Chris' reign of darkness, and defeated Chris in a cage match at Mardi Gras. However, XIII was now close to burnout after almost three years of constant work at UCA, the majority of which was in an admin position, and decided to hand the reigns over to Whiskey\_Nick for a few months.

### Era of Hate; He won the Undisputed Title by tricking you all into believing he was Rad Link 5

Main Article: I won the title by tricking you all into thinking I was Rad Link 5

That summer, XIII came up with a nefarious scheme - to win the UCA title by tricking you all into thinking he was Rad Link 5. Throughout 2014, XIII had become annoyed over a perceived lack of respect from UCAers, particularly new UCAers. He was angry that StifledSilence had "disrespected him" on multiple occasions, and mocked Stifled's Undisputed Title win. He was also angry that the UCA had not given him the win over eaedwards at Pandemonium, and was also outraged at Solio, who had posted Private Messages from XIII during the build to Epopmania.

Because of this, XIII initiated a plan during his sabbatical that would allow him to take revenge on UCA. He talked to Rad Link 5, who had left the board around 9 months earlier, and successfully convinced the fellow Hall-of-Famer to loan XIII his account. XIII then mimicked the Rad Link 5 style, and began to pursue the Undisputed Championship. Though he had to wait unti two months after his "return", at King of the Board, "Rad Link 5" defeated then-Undisputed Champion Maniac64 to become the champion, meaning that XIII had won the title by tricking you all into thinking he was Rad Link 5. The next night on Ruin, XIII revealed that he won the title by tricking you all into thinking he was Rad Link 5, and the knowledge that XIII had tricked everyone into believing he was Rad Link 5 sent shockwaves through UCA. The original topic, where XIII made this shocking reveal (that he had won the Undisputed Title by tricking you all into thinking he was Rad Link 5) has been archived by NGamer, and can be found here:

http://board8.speedrunwiki.com/topics/RL5RevealRuin.html

The outrage led to departures from users such as Apollo\_Phoenix. XIII declared that his hatred for UCA would infect everyone, and relished the disdain he attracted, calling it the "era of hate".  At Summer Spectacular, XIII tied with new king, Solioxrz362, and defeated Maniac, allowing him to retain the championship. XIII then abused his power relentlessly. Firstly, he fired Solio, the man who had evoked the most of XIII's ire due to the posting of the aforementioned Private Messages. He cost Korayashi and Regaro\_Ukiera the tag-team titles, and also claimed the MELEE MAYHEM title from Reg in a Hell in a Cell You're Banned From Competing For The Undisputed Title Ever Again Ever If You Vote For Reg match, though he would lose the championship to GTM days later.

He also feuded on-and-off with Stifled during this time, and on one episode of Ruin booked himself against Stifled in a "three stages of hell parking lot brawl" - which took place on XIII's own private board, ensuring that XIII won all three falls without Stifled receiving a single vote. This embarrassment of Stifled turned the UCA against him still further, but XIII was able to retain the title at the following PPV which he named XIII\_rocks, after himself - against Sir Chris. To do so, XIII bribed Chris by offering Chris a match with Sultan where if Sultan lost he must join Chris' faction/cult, The Knights of the Night. Chris, who was more interested in expanding his faction, his message, than winning a title, agreed. XIII thus framed Chris for rallying and kept the title by disqualification.

After this, Solio began to hijack episodes of Ruin, meaning XIII was forced to rehire him. Solio would enter and win a tournament of HWs to earn another title shot, and then at UCAnniversary defeated XIII to win the Undisputed Championship. XIII then feuded with Stifled to settle their long-running score, losing to him in a Career vs. Promotion match. Entering the Bound For Whiskey series, XIII found moderate success and a midtable finish, but felt that hatred was consuming him and damaging his psyche. After a narrow win over Maniac at The CamPAIN Trail, XIII put an end to the era of hate.

### Boko United; The UCA's Most Complete Human Being

In an attempt to rehabilitate, XIII would join Boko United, with their image of happiness and positivity just the tonic to cure XIII of his hatred. This was immediately successful; XIII's increased whimsy caused him to declare himself the "tittle master" after a typo by MELEE champion Sultan, causing him to be added to the MELEE MAYHEM title match, also featuring Stevie3V at the Bound For Whiskey PPV. XIII and Stevie tied, and then XIII beat Stevie the following night on Ruin to win the MELEE title again. However, he quickly lost the championship to eaedwards in a four-way match a week later. The membership of Boko United remained fruitful, however, as XIII would team with them to banish the darkness of the Knights of the Night in a 4-on-4 elimination match at Serious Survival. The next week, XIII teamed with Maniac64 to beat the Empire of Silence, winning the tag-team titles for an 8th time - though his first non-WotR tag title reign. A month later on Ruin, the Empire won the titles back in a rematch.

Epopmania season was now approaching, and XIII sought a legacy-defining moment to complete his rehabilitation. He entered the Ultimatum Tournament, determined to win and use the prize - a title shot at the UCA Rumble - as a way to main event the show of shows. However, upon tying his semi-final match with DP XIII was given "any match he wanted" at Epopmania as a potential Ultimatum prize by Dr\_Football. This was enough to make XIII take the Ultimatum, even though in theory XIII could have a match with any UCA superstar.

XIII remained tight-lipped about who his opponent could be. He defeated the returning Steinershocker in Steiner's first match back at the UCA Rumble, reigniting a rivalry that preceeded the UCA itself, and after being eliminated from the UCA Rumble match - thus ensuring he would not be in the main event this year - XIII announced his opponent at Epopmania VII would be none other than co-creator of UCA, Jakyl25. XIII wanted to prove once and for all that he was the greatest thing to ever happen to UCA, and he said that by defeating its most revered former member he could accomplish this - that victory would make him the UCA's Most Complete Human Being, and that victory would consign Jakyl to the history books as being second-best to XIII in and out of the ring.

XIII got what he wanted, defeating Jakyl at Epopmania VII. Also at Epopmania VII, Whiskey\_Nick was killed by Korayashi in the first ever Deathmatch to the Death Match.

XIII then announced that he had peaked as an admin, saying,  "no moment I have will ever top defeating Jakyl; no show I produce will top Epopmania VII". He therefore announced his intention to resign as admin and as Ruin GM in June, handing over the reins to Solio.

### Building a Legacy

XIII did not want to retire from in-ring competition; rather, he wanted to create an unmatched legacy. This started by his pursual of the tag-team titles continuing. At Pandemonium, XIII teamed with Maniac in a Mud Cage match against champions Moment of Zen and lost narrowly, but then defeated MoZ in a rematch the following week. This made XIII a 9-time tag-team champion. Once again, though, XIII's reign was short as The Empire of Silence (StifledSilence and Shaduln) would defeat Boko United for the championship at the next PPV, MOUNTAIN OF MAYHEM. The next night on Ruin, The Empire of Silence dropped the championships on purpose to meche313 and ScareChan, two other members of the Empire. This disrespect for the Championships outraged XIII, and he began a war with the Empire, declaring they would defend their titles as punishment against every team currently in the tag rankings. Scare and meche defeated Boko United in a rematch at Lethal Lottery as one of these matches, but then lost to DP and Poka the next night on Ruin.

The Empire were not done, however. During the Ultimatum tourrnament, Shaduln had won captaincy of a Modern Warfare team and XIII feared that if the Empire won, they would use the mandatory month-long booking rights they would receive as a prize as a way to further subvert UCA rules and rig title matches in their favour. Determined to rid UCA of perceived "corruption" before handing over the administration reins to Solio, XIII assembled a team to take on the Empire, which he dubbed "The Rebellion". The team, consisting of eaedwards, Maniac64, eddv and X\_Dante\_X, successfully defeated the Empire to ensure booking rights remained out of the Empire's hands.

Also at Modern Warfare, XIII saw that greengravy - a member of Sir Chris' Knights of the Night - was still the Intermediate Champion, and approaching a record reign length after a string of dominant displays and wins over the likes of Pokalicious and TheSultanOfSlam. Under the motto of Aurum Potestas Est (gold is power), XIII decided that a man of the darkness holding such valuable championship gold could be bad for other UCA members, and thus decided to fight gravy for the IM title at Modern Warfare.  He won, winning his first mid-tier title since 2011.

XIII then declared he would defend the IM title twice a week in an Open Challenge, and kicked off with retentions against Cobain and then Maniac, before moving through the roster. On the last Eruption before Night of Champions, however, XIII lost narrowly to TheSultanOfSlam, ending his IM title reign at 20 days. However, in his mind he had successfully brought prestige and meaning back to the title, as well as taking it away from the darkness, so XIII backed away from the IM title scene. Being unencumbered at Night of Champions allowed XIII to fight Korayashi, who had introduced a potentially dangerous new stable, The Bull8t Club. XIII beat Kora at the event.

XIII then decided to chase history one more time - he wanted to become the first man ever to win a championship in UCA on 10 different occasions. To do this, he recruited Dr\_Flubbinstein to revive Whiskey\_Nick from the dead. This abomination version of Nick was violent and difficult to control, but nonetheless XIII went ahead and reunited Whiskey on the Rocks one more time. At King of the Board 2015, WotR defeated Strife2 and TheSultanOfSlam to become 8-time champions. The addition of XIII's two reigns with Boko United made him a 10-time tag-team champion in all.

King of the Board was XIII's penultimate event as admin; XIII hosted one final episode of Ruin, where Whiskey on the Rocks retained the tag-team titles against their old rivals the No Lynch Kru, before handing the reigns over to Solio. XIII became a part-time Eruption GM, while still the tag-team champion.

Nick and XIII held the tag-team titles for a couple of months, defending against MegamanX and meche313 (at Summer Spectacular) and then in a triple-threat tag-team match at triple trials. However, after a complaint from eddv and Stifled about the controversial finish to a later tag-team title defence, XIII and Nick voluntarily forfeited the titles.

### Sheik XIII

XIII would then move to Qatar, which prompted a change in his personality. As the sand settled onto his body, XIII would occasionally become a new persona, "Sheik XIII". This persona was brash, rude, and riotously offensive, and bore many similarities to former WWE wrestler the Iron Sheik. Despite this internal turmoil, XIII was able to become Master of Taybles, which he defended against Luster at UCAnniversary. He would later lose the title to GTM, but bounced back by earning a MELEE MAYHEM title shot at Champions Are Born against Solio and ZeroSignal620, where he fell short in a Maniac-style blindfold match.

The Bound For Whiskey series would soon start, however, and XIII found himself overwhelmed by the demands of the series as well as the split personality he was dealing with. He finished a mediocre sixth and began to try and resolve his issues. At the Bound For Whiskey PPV, XIII\_rocks and Sheik\_XIII faced off in a match, which XIII won 10-9. However, the close nature of this victory led to XIII demanding another, bloodier match, which he received on BFW Day 2 inside a steel cage. XIII escaped the cage and won, but due to the fact he was also Sheik\_XIII, the match was ruled a tie.

XIII then realised he had been foolish, and discovered the reason for the Sheik and its aggression was XIII's brain attempting to release his negative, aggressive energy. So XIII instead decided to embrace it, fully merging with and thus destroying the Sheik XIII persona.

### Various Feuds; Epopmania 8 Main-Event

XIII then entered into another feud with Strife2, who was on his way out of UCA. Strife wanted to face XIII in the traditional 5-on-5 Serious Survival match, and so they constructed teams. Strife had never beaten XIII until this match. It came down to the final vote, but Team Strife (Strife, LuchadorBlack, GTM, DP, Stifled) beat Team XIII (XIII, Sultan, eaed, Tom, Cobain) by last eliminating Cobain. Strife was the last man standing, ensuring a happy retirement. However, XIII had reached the final of a MELEE MAYHEM tournament and, in the final defeated GTM in a Last Man Standing match at the event, inciting a short rivalry. He quickly lost the title to Dr\_Football in a Sneaky match about two weeks later, and bounced back to defeat GTM at Exile, ending the short feud. Shortly thereafter, the pressures of administration became too much for Solio and he temporarily handed back the reins.

At this point, XIII decided to cement his legacy once and for all. He challenged Undisputed Champion ZeroSignal620 to a match at Ultimatum, and scored a very narrow 10-9 victory to become a four-time HW Champion. He defeated ZSig in a rematch at the UCA Rumble to ensure he would headline Epopmania 8, but admitted to rallying to secure this victory a week later. He had been scheduled to defend against King Shaduln, who had won the UCA Rumble after staying in for nearly 15 hours, but co-admins Football and eddv decided that ZeroSignal deserved a rematch and it was therefore made a triple-threat. At the biggest event of the year, King Shaduln was victorious, ending XIII's Undisputed Title at 49 days.

Furious at his loss and furious at the addition of ZSig to the match, XIII demanded a rematch at Pandemonium, wanting revenge on both men at the same time and to win back the title. When ZSig and XIII won separate contendership matches, Solio - back in charge - made the match official. But at the event, Shad was victorious once again.

Shad moved on to settle things with his former partner in the Empire of Silence, StifledSilence, who cashed in his MELEE MAYHEM title for a title shot at the next PPV, Mountain of Mayhem. This left ZSig and XIII to settle their business once and for all at Mountain of Mayhem - in a Hell in a Cell match. It ended in a tie, and ZSig and XIII shook hands, having found mutual respect, thus ending the feud.

Meanwhile, an ownership dispute had taken over UCA, with Icehawk (who left shortly afterwards) and Steiner taking over after defeating Solio and Football in a Taipei Deathmatch. At Lethal Lottery, XIII teamed with Solio and eaed to win a 3-match series against profDEADPOOL, Steiner and eddv. A clean sweep for XIII's team allowed Solio to take the company back.

XIII decided he would pursue the IM Championship again, aggressively pursuing former champion and past #1 contender The Black Wolf. XIII beat Wolf at [Insert PPV Name Here] to become the #1 contender, and the next week on Ruin, XIII beat Apollo\_Phoenix to win the title. He began to once again defend the title in Open Challenges, defending against a variety of opponents, including GTM at Night of Champions in a tie. GTM would then win a rematch the next week on Ruin, after LuchadorBlack cost him the title.

### The Luchador's Revenge

LuchadorBlack would declare his desire to get revenge on XIII for XIII donning a Rad Link 5 mask when he won the Undisputed Title by tricking everyone into believing he was Rad Link 5 , which Luchador took as disrespectful to masked wrestling. XIII ignored this and continued his pursuit of the IM title. But XIII was defeated by WiggumFan267 at Day 1 of King of the Board in an IM Title contendership match, again due to the interference of Luchador, and this was finally enough to provoke XIII into a match at Summer Spectacular. At the biggest party of the summer, LuchadorBlack defeated XIII.

A livid XIII, now GM of Combat after Football's departure, immediately booked a No Disqualification match with Luchador, where he decisively rallied himself to victory. This was done in an attempt to even things up between them and provoke a response from Luchador, all so XIII could lay down his final challenge - a First Blood Luchas De Apuestas match, where if XIII won, the Luchador would be forced to unmask and reveal his identity - while if Luchador won, XIII would never again be allowed to mention the time he won the title by tricking everyone into believing he was Rad Link 5 . The match at the Bloodbath PPV went to a no-contest, so a rematch was held in a special match, which XIII won.

LuchadorBlack was then forced to unmask and reveal himself - it was revealed that he was Maniac64, XIII's former tag partner and stablemate in Boko United. Maniac beseeched XIII to return to the fun-loving self he became when he joined Boko United, and XIII heeded the words. He vowed to change and challenged GTM, a lover of fun in wrestling and still the IM champion. They faced off at Modern Warfare.
