Opening Gambit
5-11-01

The time has come. The moment is now. The end of all that which has occurred in the UBWF will come to a boiling point. Just what exactly do I mean. And what is with that infinity sign. Hmmm…What is the Marshall up to now? The answer to both these questions and the "Mysterious Three" from the special edition are to be answered now, in this edition of The Opening Gambit.

(Gambit: Noun – A remark made to open or redirect a conversation.)

What does the word infinity mean? Well, for a rough definition, infinity for our purposes is something that lasts or goes on forever. The idea of infinite is quite overwhelming. In mathematics, the concept of infinity has perplexed mathematicians for years. And even though there is no definitive answer, mathematicians still search the great infinity to prove theorems and solve mankind's problems.

Now, why is this symbol important to us? Hmmm…let's examine the puzzle of this symbol. If you choose any specific area to start at on the symbol, then follow it around, you will eventually come back to where you started. And if you wanted to repeat this process again, the same results will occur. Thus, the symbol loops around and around, never deviating from its path. If you were to follow it over and over again, infinitely, then you will begin to see why this is the symbol for infinity.

Ok, so what does that have to do with the UBWF? Quite an easy task to answer. I received word from a very close personal friend of mine. We were talking about the UBWF and where it has gone. But, where is it going? That is the scary part…just exactly where is it going? It seems that the path the UBWF is on is the infinite loop. There is no "change" that is added to it to have new and exciting stuff to occur in the UBWF. And without that change, the league could fall into it's darkest of periods.

This is what the next PPV will need to do. To be the best, you have to beat the rest. Now, I am not one to brag, but I still to this day believe and feel that Return of the Fallen was the best UBWF PPV of all time. Many PPV's have been great, but they have not been the stellar performance they need to be to officially claim the title of the best. With the upcoming BasementMania 2k1 vastly approaching, it will set the tone for the following year. And the tone that it needs to set is one that has never been seen before.

All of the current wrestlers are more than capable to wrestle in this league. But, it is time for some one to break the mold of what the UBWF has created. The talent is fresh. The matches have been good. But, everyone is not putting in his best effort. Effort without initiative equals NOTHING! And that is what someone needs to do…put forth the initiative to break the mold we have created for ourselves. And the person, who does that, will become the new example we need to follow in the 21st century. Else wise, the road of infinity is very repetitive and very time consuming. Of course everyone here has the time to follow infinity, which is eternity. I am sure everyone wants to do that.

Finally, allow me to solve the puzzle of "Mysterious Three". Apparently no one figured out the puzzle. Well, here is the two-part solution:

First off, this person has had a shot at this twice before in the past twelve to fifteen months. They say that the Third Time Is A Charm.

Second, two different people have shot this person's chances for a title. Again, they say that the Third Time Is A Charm.

Is the solution set for you now? No? Well, let's say that this is going to be my only prediction that I will make for the upcoming PPV:

The Three was for ThE GeEk and I think that he will be your winner for the World Title at BasementMania 2k1 and will hopefully break the mold the UBWF is in. After all, he is the 21st century digital boy, isn't he?

See if you can now solve the next puzzle…and yes, this puzzle will have a two-part answer. However, I will not divulge the answer to this puzzle as quickly as this one. But, do take my words on this one, it will not take an eternity to come up with the answer…but it will take some time. Think on it!

Until then…
