 Mickie James vs Natalya

Mickie's first match on Smackdown was not going to be easy, as she took on the Women's World Champion, Natalya. Mickie gave the champ all she could handle, nearly scoring the major upset with a big roundhouse kick, called the Kiss Goodnight. Natalya rallied though, and when Mickie missed on a diving senton, the Canadian Destroyer capitalized, locking in the Pin-Up Strong submission hold and forcing the newcomer to tap out.

Winner: Natalya


 Tyson Kidd vs Christian

Both members of the tag title match on Sunday were in action, with their partners watching on at ringside. Captain Charisma wasted no time getting going, as he had and Tyson began brawling right away. Both men put on a show for the Smackdown fans, going back and forth with impressive offensive maneuvers, with Christian eventually getting the upper hand. Obsessed to prove he doesn't need Edge to win, Christian connected on a Spear, but not using his own move hurt him, as Kidd kicked out just before three. Christian lost his cool, slapping Kidd several times, firing up Tyson, who then connected with a Code Blue. It would've been over then and there, but Edge saved his buddy, distracting the referee. Christian finally got his head straight, and used his own move, the Killswitch, but it was Cesaro who helped his tag team partner out, distracting the official. Christian went after the King of Swing, and Kidd capitalized, looking to put Christian away. However, Christian had one more trick up his sleeve, rolling up Tyson with a small package to get the three count. Christian may have won tonight, but when Cesaro and Edge are involved on Sunday, will it be a different story?

Winner: Christian

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...
