The Miz hosts Miz TV, accompanied by Maryse

The Judgment Day Pre-Show opened with the Awesome One in the ring, accompanied by the French Beauty Maryse, Miz's wife. The Miz stated that, on Smackdown, he got rid of the monkey on his back when he fired Damien Mizdow, who was going to cause him nothing but trouble. The only person he needs by his side is Maryse, who is the only one who has ever earned his respect and trust. To prove how dominate Miz is, he declared that next week on Smackdown, he will host the Awesome Challenge, and invite a member of the Smackdown roster to try their luck against the Awesome One.


 Randy Savage vs Bret Hart

Our pre-show bout was in many people's eyes a dream match, as two legends in Randy "Macho Man" Savage faced Bret "The Hitman" Hart squared off. Bret's niece Natalya would wrestle later on for the Women's World Title, and The Hitman couldn't resist getting back in the ring. The match was announced on short notice, the reason behind it being on the pre-show, and both men wanted to steal the show and prove that they could still go. It was a very even match, with each hitting a piledriver and watching the other kick out. Bret continued to look for an opportunity to lock in the Sharpshooter, but Savage continued fighting out. Savage climbed to the top rope and connected with the Elbow Drop, but that wasn't enough to put it away. Bret did lock in the Sharpshooter, but he hadn't done enough damage to the legs of Savage, who fought out. More traded offense, and a second Elbow from Savage, only to see Bret kick out again. Despite his best attempts, Bret couldn't lock in another Sharpshooter, but did catch Savage with a big Brainbuster that put him down for the 3 count.

Winner: Bret Hart



I hope you've enjoyed the Judgment Day Pre-Show. Up next, the event itself, which will be posted later today. Until then, take care.

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...
