Henry's Universe Mode: A Brand New Idea

I'll start this post off by saying that there will no other Universe Mode content this week. Shows will return next week, but this week is off. With that out of the way, I'm proud to announce my new Universe Mode announcement, called the Universe Mode Talent Exchange. With Summerslam being a season finale of sorts for me, and the Draft being in April post-Wrestlemania, I felt this was the best place to put this in. Here's how it works:


Rules

The Talent Exchange is one night of the year where all three GMs can make unlimited trades. Paul Heyman, William Regal and Teddy Long have the opportunity to acquire and get rid of any talent they want to, to customize their roster how they see fit. The Exchange takes place on Monday, immediately following Summerslam, and the GMs will then get the rest of the week to finalize their rosters before normal shows begin again. Here are the rules of trading:

- Trades are unlimited, as long as the other GM agrees to the move.

- The GM initiating the trade must trade in a like-for-like swap. This means if you trade a single male or female superstar, you must trade for another single male or female superstar. If you trade a tag team, you must trade for another tag team, and so on. This is to prevent roster discrepancies.

- Champions are not eligible to be traded.

- Monday is the only day of trading.

- The receiving GM only gets one chance to refuse a trade. Once he agrees, the trade is final.

- Raw, Smackdown and NXT get the opportunity to initiate trades in that order. If a GM declines the opportunity to trade, then he must wait for the other two brands to get their opportunity.


That's about it. I hope that's simple enough to understand. I will be back tomorrow to update you on what trades took place, and then we resume normal content with Raw next Monday. See you soon.

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...
