The APA vs Ric Flair and Arn Anderson

 Both teams were eager for their first win, and traded offense. Off a big DDT, Arn appeared to have the match won, but Farooq kicked out. The APA then came close to winning it, hitting a Clothesline/Dominator combo, but Arn just broke it up. Flair tagged in Arn, who came very close on a Double A Spinebuster. The match devolved into a brawl, but it was Arn who ended up in control, hitting his DDT on Farooq for the victory.

Winners: Ric Flair and Arn Anderson


Kane vs X-Pac

Our next match saw a rivalry rekindled, as Kane took on X-Pac. The Big Red Machine was ready for a fight, and to his credit, X-Pac gave him one. X-Pac even managed to take the monster off his feet several times, landing a very impressive Sunset Flip Powerbomb to the outside. In the end, it wasn't enough, as Kane landed a big leg drop off the top rope and put him down with a Chokeslam.

Winner: Kane
Mick Foley(Mankind) vs Daniel Bryan

 These two fan favorites were ready to go to battle, with Bryan looking to rebound from his loss to Randy Orton on Smackdown and Foley makes his Universe Mode debut. The chosen face of Foley for this match was Mankind, as he felt that was best suited for this particular match-up. Both men traded offense, landing signature maneuvers, but a turning point came when Mankind went for a double arm DDT, only to see Bryan reverse, connecting with a running knee, which nearly ended the match. Mankind came close a few times, but couldn't put Bryan away. Bryan fought back, getting to the top rope and landing a diving headbut. Bryan knew the end was near, and locked in the Yes! Lock in the center of the ring, leaving Mankind with no other option than to tap out. After the match, the two shook hands, in appreciation of a tightly contested battle.

That ends this episode of Main Event. Stay tuned for the next episode, which is Monday Night Raw.

South Park "Not Funny" Review

Good night, amateur trolls that trolled a troll and trolled themselves into a troll, brothers. With one episode to go in the season, South Park has remained consistently funny and on-point with their humor, though I worry about how their going to wrap all of this up. There are a good six to seven ongoing storylines right now, and only one episode to finish off a few of them. There was no clear focus this week, but I'll start where the episode ended, with Gerald's troll-based storyline. It's pretty satisfying to see the Troll Hunter's massive revelation; that he is, in fact, just another troll, bent on world destruction. Even Gerald couldn't find the humor in his master plan, as the Troll Hunter is truly in a league of his own. With the world on the brink of war, the trolling has truly begun, as the Troll Hunter went to work on his own employees and the other trolls, though why they had to be naked for that is beyond me. Kyle is always a sucker for saving the ...

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. ...
