This is the roster thread for Arthur Wingate's Universal Battle League, effective since January 2012.

This post contains information about the participants in the Basic Training program. Wrestlers selected for Basic Training are seen as the most promising rookies in the Front Lines division of the UBL.  


Front Lines Division


Field Leader: Barton Miller

A former Universal Champion and multi-time Universal Battalion Champion, Barton Miller was hand-picked by Sergeant Drake Yoshida to take on this leadership role. Barton has been successful as a mentor to wrestlers such as JET Hamada and Luke Kisiera and wishes to help shape the future of UBL. Barton's role is to help each wrestler identify and sharpen their unique skills as well as prepare themselves psychologically for competition.

In November 2019, Barton retired from in-ring competition as a result of grave injuries suffered in a match against his former student, Yoshirozuna. As a result, the old rules for the Field Leader Title have been temporarily relieved.  Since Barton can not step back into the ring due to the risk of paralysis, no one can challenge him directly for the Title. When Barton eventually steps down from this position, the old rules will return if an active competitor becomes Field Leader.  However, if Barton is challenged for the position, he is free to choose a representative to defend the Title on his behalf if he wishes to put it on the line.

Trainer and Referee: Coach Randy Everett

After ten years working hard in our Dojo, Randy has been upgraded to primary trainer for the Front Lines. That means he is the one to initially help new recruits transition to the UBL. He is also tasked with their physical conditioning, mental endurance, and education in the ring.  Randy is also the primary referee for Basic Training and Front Lines matches.

(Note: I borrowed the awesome design for the amateur wrestling headgear from Hana/OfficerBrightly who created the Keith Van Horne edit.)

Basic Training program


- Nerval Pithory

Finisher: "Pleasantries" (Hijack Backbreaker)

Nerval was recruited after a very successful rookie campaign in the Nouveau Nihon promotion in Japan. He combines his height and strength to execute leverage-based suplexes and strikes. Despite his positive disposition and a sense of offbeat humor, he is all business inside the ring. Fans have already seen him quickly rise up the ranks of one promotion, will UBL be next?

- Gerulf "Snap" Sieger

Finisher: "Snap Dragon" (Shoten Kai)

Gerulf came highly recommended by Tetsu Gushiken who observed his early training. UBL scouts confirmed Gerulf's talent while making special mention of his technical abilities, imposing demeanor, and uncanny focus. He is especially talented in suplexes and submission holds that target the back. Gerulf’s reserved personality combined with his expertise in targeting his opponents limbs have given him a reputation of a cold, calculated assassin inside of the ring.

- Ryuji Bansho

Finisher: Bansho-off (Swinging Frankensteiner)

The only thing that overshadows Ryuji’s agility and finesse are his confidence and desire to show them off. He possesses a dizzying array of high-flying and gravity-defying moves to the delight of his fans and concern of his opponents. Citing a perfect diet and exercise regimen, Ryuji believes that he is capable of anything inside of a ring and that he has already eclipsed the sky as a limit.

- Glenn Dyon

Finisher: The Glaive (Brazilian Kick)

Glenn Dyon is the oldest of the class and his experience in the martial arts makes him far from a rookie. Having trained in styles around the world, he is adept at using his limbs as weapons (and even registered them as such in certain municipalities). Possessing the spirit of the wandering warrior, Glenn wishes to test himself next in the physical and psychological combat offered in a wrestling ring.

- Magog "The Mad"

Finisher: "Centrifuge" (Hijack Backbreaker)

(Note: Magog wanted to name this move "Spinnies" but Barton recommended a more intimidating name.)

Absolutely no one knows what to make of this young man other than marvel at his size and power. There is some confusion as to his origin, mostly resulting from his own insistence that he has come back in time from a future apocalypse of vague description. However, to take him lightly would be to ignore the physical gifts of a near 7-foot giant who is already one of the strongest on the roster.





- Javier Martez: "ángel con púas"  (spiked angel)

Finisher: "Burial Halo" (Tights Pulling Piledriver)

Javier came highly recommended by Naja Mask who encountered him last year in Mexico where they formed an impromptu tag team together. It was this experience that caused Naja to rediscover his love of professional wrestling which led him to return to the UBL. Despite the heartwarming story of their masked bromance, do not take Javier lightly. He is already one of the most disrespectful rudos that UBL has ever seen and promises to create trouble for his fellow trainees and the entire roster. His arsenal consists of quick, impactful moves that target the opponent’s head and pride.
