Have you checked out the details for the UWE Halloween writing contest?

http://z7.invisionfree.com/UWE/index.php?showtopic=16112

This is just a friendly reminder that the contest is still open. The deadline is October 31st at 12:01 am and the winner will be announced November 1st.

The UWE blog staff have been informed that Des Taylor has stepped down from her position on the board of directors. The reason Des stepped down is because she failed to attend several important meetings since UWE returned to television this summer.

Des Taylor used to be known as Destiny Manning; the owner and promoter of the UWE. However, she changed her name after getting married in 2010. Des was merely a board member and therefore wasn’t a stakeholder in the company. It is unknown if the empty board position will be filled or not.

Ultimate Wrestling Entertainment has severed ties with the Sports Entertainment Channel. The UWE returned to television in May for the tenth anniversary special and up until now was airing weekly shows. The UWE will no longer continue to air weekly episodes of the UWE Live tour, but will function as a regional federation.

The UWE will continue to operate as a wrestling organization in the region of North America. Fans of the UWE can expect the wrestling mainstay to feature bi-weekly live events in Canada, the USA and Mexico.

The UWE Board of Directors offers no comments at this time, but indicates that they are presently looking for another television deal in lieu of the present situation.

General Manager Caroline Cage has interest in reviving the UWE Hardcore division as well as the UWE Women’s division. The Women’s Championship later became the Diva’s Championship, but there is interest in the Women’s title returning rather than the Diva name. Both titles are presently retired, but Mrs. Cage hopes to change that.

The Women’s title was apart of the UWE launch in 2004 (renamed in 2005), while the Hardcore title debuted in 2007 and later returned in 2009. Both titles were retired a few years ago.

The two titles are inactive and will remain vacant, but Mrs. Cage wants to have the titles on hand. When she feels the time is right, she will introduce the belt. This is similar to the Tag Team title belts. They are inactive, but are on hand for managements discretion.

“The Hardcore title was supposed to be introduced this summer, but the plans fizzled out” admits Caroline to the UWE blog staff. “The Hardcore and Women’s titles will join the Tag Team titles. If and only if the board of directors feel it is necessary, a new title may be unveiled. Whether or not this is at the cost of a present title, that is at the discretion of UWE management.”

Hi guys!

When they asked me to write a blog a few weeks ago, I didn’t really know what to reply. What should I write about? After all, I’m just a boring girl who leads a boring life. Some people might say my job is interesting, fascinating even, but really, it’s not. At least, I thought so. Lara (Pegorino) once told me that only those who work their butts off all day every day make it to the top; and she was right. But I’ve seen that there’s so much more to this life. In these few weeks I have already experienced things that I know I will never forget. Like your first match (and winning it!). Your first autograph. The first smile on the face of a fan when you pose for a picture. The first time in the ring with someone I love. The first transatlanctic flight (which was a thing to remember for me, but not in a positive way). Seeing the Big Ben and the London Eye for the first time. And of course: granting that first wish. Those things are also part of the life I lead, and they more than make up for all the hardship you endure, but inside and outside of the ring.

I’m not in this for the fame, I never have been, but I must admit that it’s nice to receive fanmail from girls who write to me, saying that I have been an example to them, that you don’t have to be the tallest or the strongest to be successful, and that, like me, they can achieve everything they’ve ever dreamed of if they work hard. I hope I can continue down this particular path: be a good role model, be a good wrestler, be a good girlfriend and… be a good ‘whatever it is Jenson’s daughter wants me to be’. And for all the teenage girls with dreams I have a message: try, and don’t be afraid to fail. Failure is a part of life, and not only is it something you shouldn’t be ashamed of, failure is something that is essential if you want to succeed. Not only will it harden you, but in the future you will savor that success twice as much and appreciate all those things you have worked so hard for. Don’t let it define you; learn from your mistakes and live life to its (and yours) fullest potential.

That’s what I have done. I’m not saying that everybody should be like me, but those simple tips will certainly help you. I know they helped me. That’s why this week, I am not afraid of stepping into the ring with Lily Jackson. I know she’s tough. I know she can be mean and distrusting. I know she can be vicious and cold. But I don’t fear losing to her; as some wise woman once said: fear of failure is more debilitating than fear itself. Besides, I’m certain that underneath Lily Jackson’s cold façade beats the heart of a loving, gentle woman. I’m certain of that. It’s just a shame she might not realize it herself.

So this week I will go at it alone. Jenson won’t be with me. I’ll go one on one, and I’m going to give it my best shot. Will I succeed. I don’t know. I will try. But I’m not scared to lose. And neither should you be.

Love

Ruby
