WWE 2k16 Universe Mode: Intro

Later than expected, the WWE 2k16 Universe Mode is set to finally debut. Happy New Year, by the way. Sorry I haven't been that active, but I wanted to end the year on a positive note, and my first NXT Takeover recap was especially positive. Below is the outline for my universe mode, which will begin shortly.



Structure
The structure of this series is quite a bit different since I first discussed it, so this is pretty important. There will be three shows per in game week, RAW, Smackdown and NXT. Each show will have five matches, 4 shows per month with one pay per view. Once we get further into the series, I'll introduce more shows, brand-specific ppvs, NXT Takeovers and the like, but I want to make sure the series is going over well before then.

Shows

 RAW
Titles- World Heavyweight, Intercontinental, World Tag Team, Women's(shared with Smackdown)
Airs On- Monday

Smackdown
Titles- WWE Championship, United States, WWE Tag Team, Women's(shared with RAW)
Airs On- Thursday

NXT
Titles- NXT Championship, Light Heavyweight, NXT Tag Team, NXT Women's
Airs On- Wednesday

As you can see, every show is equal in terms of titles. One world/major, one midcard, one tag team, and two women's titles. I would have had three, but I don't have a big enough starting roster of female wrestlers. Speaking of rosters, it will mainly start out as the default roster. There will be a few CAWS, but nothing outrageous. Most of them will be for NXT, as they are going to have a very small roster otherwise. Pretty much every new CAW will debut on NXT, except for guys like CM Punk, Alberto Del Rio, Rey Mysterio, guys with plenty of WWE tenure. I would go into further detail, but like most of my series, it'll be easier to understand once you actually see the product.

Odds and Ends
I'm going to start a post with the list of champions and what not in this series once it starts....It should be easy enough to figure out, but every title will start vacant.......Most retired/dead wrestlers will be treated as such, with some exceptions(HBK, Edge, likely Mick Foley).....The universe mode itself will begin in April, right after Wrestlemania.......There is likely to never be a WWE draft.

So that's that. If I missed anything, it'll likely show up in the first post of this series. I'm looking forward to a great year, and hopefully this series will be going strong by the end of it.

-Henry

(Edit: I've gotten enough female CAWS to give Smackdown the Divas Title, with Raw keeping the Women's Title.)

Henry's Universe Mode #231: WrestleMania II (Part 3)

Finn Balor vs The Undertaker Finn Balor felt the full force of the strikes of The Undertaker in the early going, eating rights and lefts to the skull. The Undertaker continued to lay into Balor, dumping him to the floor with a clothesline, then following up with his vintage suicide dive! After a brief skirmish on the outside, the Deadman got destructive, grabbing the Demon's throat and driving him through the announce table with a chokeslam! It was here that The Undertaker allowed Finn Balor a chance to just give up and concede defeat, but Balor wasn't having any of it. Finn got his second wind, countering an attempted chokeslam to connect with a reverse DDT, then the shotgun dropkick in the corner. Up top, Finn connected with Coup de Grace! 1........................2.......................but it's going to take a lot more to put The Undertaker away, especially at WrestleMania. Balor laid in some shots, busting The Undertaker open, but that proved to be a huge mistake. ...

American Dad "Stompe Le Monde" Review

You know, I once tried to make it in musical theater. If only I had watched this episode beforehand, I would've known I needed a leather jacket to truly make it. Alas, those dreams are for a more pretentious soul than mine. "Stompe Le Monde" is a wild episode of American Dad, one that starts with Stan's previously unknown uncle dying and ends with wanton destruction of many Sonic Drive-Ins. It's a crazy a journey as it sounds, one that left me just struggling to keep up. The family to use the new inheritance to travel to New York City, but Stan quickly blows the money on the rights to Stomp, which is apparently a real musical. The whole town of Langley is very excited to see the new show, but Stan has no idea what he's doing, never once hiring a director or even rehearsing. Why this only came up literally minutes before opening is anyone's guess. The Smith Family is forced to go on the run, and are attacked by many ferocious coyotes off-screen. In ye...

American Dad "The Hand that Rocks the Rogu" Review

American Dad as a show is definitely not afraid to get a little freaky, and nothing is more evident than the existence of Rogu, Roger's tumor that became a character himself in "Persona Assistant". Rogu primarily works as a character because he stays in the background, but this week, he takes a starring role in one of the weirdest American Dad episodes to date. "The Hand that Rocks the Rogu" has little in the way of traditional plot structure, and can only barely be considered an episode at all. It's more a collection of funny and bizarre skits, with a few running plot points that end up forming some sort of resolution. Steve wants to become a babysitter, but Francine says he's not ready, so he needs to prove himself to her. He does that by taking care of Rogu, as Roger is off for a night of NSFW activities. Steve is instructed not to let Rogu have candy or screentime, but violates both rules almost immediately. It turns out that Rogu multiplies w...
