JN,
I'd love to see the Champions/Contenders list you've got for UWA, to be honest.
Ok, that's gonna take a minute to compile. Mind you this is all 'ghost' info for story purposes, as almost all of these guys I came up with just to fill in my own storytelling/sandbox needs. I'll post it in this thread if I get some time soon.
Also, what's the story behind Anne Mystic and Eddie? How it started, maybe a few high/low points, and then how it all ended.

ulls up a chair::
Total disclosure, if you've figured out how I do things, I like to base most of my guys against a real-world backdrop, just to fill out the characters a bit more. My guy Eddie Mayfield, is my homage to "Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert, with some tweaks. As a background with Eddie (Even tho I was just talking to Katz about us going meta about 'real world' guys) that Eddie grew up as a Eddie Gilbert-esque mark, or maybe in this universe he IS Eddie Gilbert - whatever you want to think with that. But Eddie's career path is on the same trajectory. Wants to be the biggest heel ever, great booker, great storyline ideas, but he's underrated as far as the 'greats' are concerned.
Back in 1996, Eddie Mayfield set his sights on getting on the main stage and wanted to knock down the ICON of the 90's, "Mr. Magnificent" Tom Adler. Back in UWA, Anne Mystic was the fly in the ointment/Heel mastermind, and was a love interest of Adler's - even his on/off again manager/valet. Eddie stole Anne away from Adler, ala John Tatum and Missy Hyatt. So a love triangle/blood feud happened from there.
Eddie joined the AAWC (Schmid's league which was grandfathered in by another old guy who left the game early in the 90's, GLP) and formed THE INTRUDERS (version 1) With himself, Anne Mystic and Pi, Schmid's version of Syxx/XPac who he gifted to me to get Eddie over - Eddie's first minion. Pi was created for the jWo - JENKINS WORLD ORDER which was the hottest spoof stable at the time. Eddie invaded AAWC where Adler was THE GOAT, next to Doc Silver. I believe the feud was one-sided because this was during a time where Adler was hiding out and being mysterious, ala WCW Crow Sting and Eddie would show up getting heat off of Adler's name - ala ECW Sabu/Taz feud.
During all of this, Eddie and Anne were a 'thing' but she was always a manipulator/alpha bitch and Eddie and her broke up after a while. As early as the SDS (Seven Deadly Sins) angle with the Exploding Wargames Cage, Mystic resurfaced in the NFW with Avery Prosser to try and wrest control from Craig Miles, and Eddie was in the wings, waiting for his time to swoop in.
In the 'New' UWA, Miles/Sullivan/ESEN brokered a deal with Mystic and Prosser to sell/grant them co-ownership of UWA to wrap up that whole angle, (BTS NOTE: I was actually gonna run UWA while Katz ran NFW, but that never happened) Eddie and Miles were feuding which would become the "Screwjob Heard Around the World" but Mayfield wound up getting the UWA world title off of Tom Adler who 'laid down' for Eddie because of his past feelings for Anne Mystic - Anne secretly came to Adler and told him not to 'hurt' Eddie so he did the job. That was the endpoint of the Eddie/Anne story - She did him a favor and they both moved on.
Eddie has a thing for cougars. Notice the Katherine Windham tryst a little while back.
This is pretty disjointed, but there's Eddie/Anne in a nutshell.
