COMPANY BACKGROUNDName: So-Cal Ultraviolent
Founded: June 5th, 2012 by Gage Landon
Base Of Operations: San Diego, California
History:
Gage Landon was the heir to the Landon Express transportation company based in San Diego, California. He was next in line to succeed his father in ownership of the company when he died. When that time came, however, owning a transportation company wasn't in the cards for Gage. Instead he liquidated the assets of the company (clients, contracts, vehicles and personnel) and sold it all to a rival company; everything except for the warehouse the company operated in. In this warehouse, Gage would follow his dream and open his own independent wrestling company he named, So-Cal Ultraviolent.
This company, as you could assume, specialized in matches with no rules. Matches saw use of weapons, saw competitors being thrown off of high levels (such as scaffolds and ladders) through tables, onto thumbtacks, etc. Gage looked to recreate the success that fellow California based company Xtreme Pro Wrestling had. Through word of mouth, the fan base began to grow as the members on the roster put their bodies on the line every other week. The events were all taped, put on the Internet for free view and were also sold on the company website.
Every year Gage and the SCUV held a California wide tournament entitled "the King of California". The winner would be in line for an Ultraviolent championship match. The inaugural winner, Adrian Dillion who was Twenty-One at the time, would go on to unsuccessfully challenge for the Ultraviolent championship that he was granted. He remained a staple within the company up until it's purchase, having grueling feuds with all of the major players. Other winners of the tournament include Reece Crosslin (2013) who would go onto win the Ultraviolent championship, Riley Calix (2014) who also won the Ultraviolent Championship and Jack Owyns, 2015's winner.
In October of 2016, Gage was approached by Julián Cortez with the inquiry of purchasing SCUV. Julián owned Mexican company, el Cartel de Lucha Libre. He closed the doors of the LLC in order to move north to the United States. Julián attended a couple of SCUV events and liked what he saw. In these meetings with Gage, Julián offered him a substantial amount of money and the opportunity for more exposure by way of getting the SCUV onto local television. Gage couldn't resist, and accepted. The paperwork was done and the deal was finalized on November 2nd.
Julian Cortez captained the ship of So Cal for the better part of the next year. He used his connections to secure a local television time slot and introduced a bi-weekly event named Asylum. Upon negotiating for the television slot, he promised the heads of the network a championship that would be defended every week. The level of competition in So Cal grew substantially when Julian also brought in. Ashtyn Rave, a talent he brought in with him from Mexico, was prominently featured. Rowan Blackwood, Finn Whelan, Linc Coyne, Dick Devereaux - all of these athletes would set the bar during Julian's ownership.
But light would eventually shine on Julian and his other means of business. Cortez used the company as a front to push drugs for the Mexican cartel. One by one the staff found out, which leaked into the athletes signed. This, combined with the fact that Julian used his group "Los Renegados" to stronghold the company, would start a mutiny in SoCal. Staff and roster members alike joined forces to combat Julian and his group. This would lead to Gage Landon and former Ultraviolent Champion, Colton Carter, returning together to propose buying the company back. Julian had a better offer, a fight for the company. Julian chose Matthias Black - an exiled wrestler by Gage Landon. And Gage chose Ashtyn Rave. The next Asylum, Julian saw to it that Ashtyn was put out of commission - and that was when Tiffany (the daughter of former Trans-Pacific champion Joe Maccario; a man whom met the end of his life in a scaffold match against Matthias Black) stepped up to fill Ashtyn's spot. Julian declared the match as a Scaffold match for heightened drama.
This match took place at So Cal World War, and the ownership was taken over and resumed by Gage when Tiffany managed to knock the bigger Matthias Black off, sending him crashing through tables below. Now Gage Landon and Colton Carter were in control of So Cal Ultraviolent once again.

ARENA INFORMATION
The facility where So-Cal Ultraviolent houses its shows is not an arena at all. But in reality it's a rather rundown warehouse located in the industrial area of San Diego, California. While the outside may not have the promise of a full fledged Wrestling auditorium, Gage Landon spent his money wisely and had the inside renovated completely. The warehouse, that he's renamed the Ultraviolent Complex, has been split into sections inside. The main, and largest section houses the professional sized ring and seating/standing area for the fans. Enough room has been left around ringside for the various weaponry that will, of course, be brought into battle from time to time (I.E. Scaffolds, Tables, Ladders, etc.). Since this is still technically a warehouse, there isn't an elaborate stage or anything. There's a black curtain wrestlers enter through and an aisle which they descend down to the ring. No pyro, no huge titantron. A public address system, custom lighting and a smoke machine have been supplied for entrances. A second story has been constructed that surrounds the ring for additional seating, as well. The other sections of the arena include male and female dressing areas, one medical office, one office for the owner and an interview area.
Ultraviolent Championship: (Active)CHAMPIONSHIPS & HISTORY
The pinnacle of the SCUV is the Ultraviolent championship. Literal blood, sweat and tears are the price you pay to hoist this championship in the air and claim it as your own. Your body will be put to the ultimate test and you will have a bulls eye painted on your back immediately. The Ultraviolent championship has a rich history of past champions that have become legends in the Southern California wrestling community.
Trans-Pacific Championship: (Active)
Many look at the Trans-Pacific Championship as a stepping stone to the Ultraviolent championship, but it's much more than that. Athletes have won the Trans-Pacific championship and went onto have stellar careers in this division, such as Andre Walker who was basically considered the "face of the division".
Television Championship: (Active)
This championship was introduced during the brief Julian Cortez. Julian used his connections to bring SoCal Ultraviolent to a local television show, with the promise that they would introduce a Television Champion to be defended at each and every Asylum episode.
King of California Trophy: (Active)
Once a year, So-Cal Ultraviolent holds a tournament to crown the "King of California". Despite it's name, the tournament is open to both male and female combatants. The winner of the tournament is usually next in line to challenge for the Ultraviolent Championship.
