The Revival vs Golden Truth

Goldust and R-Truth are talented veterans, but it was Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson that controlled this match. They looked very impressive in their debut, using a slow pace to pick apart the Bizzare One, before finishing him off with a Shatter Machine to pick up a big debut win.

Winners: The Revival


 Rich Swann vs Drew Gulak- Cruiserweight Classic Group B Match

This was the classic match up between high flying and technical brilliance, and it was Gulak's slower style that controlled this match. Swann got in his offense whenever he could, hitting some very impressive moves including an incredible 450 splash, but Gulak survived anything Swann could throw at him. Swann avoided the deadly submissions, but fell prey to a vicious scoop slam into the middle rope, that caused Swann some major whiplash. That was enough to get the job done, as Gulak picked up a big three points to open up Group B action.

Winner: Drew Gulak


Zack Sabre Jr vs Cedric Alexander- Cruiserweight Classic Group B Match

This was another clash between the aerial and ground-based styles, and it seemed to be going the same way as the first. Sabre used his bull dog like tenacity and surprising power to ground Cedric, before softening both of Cedric's arms in preparation for his armbreaker submission hold. Cedric wasn't going to lay down, though, and caught Sabre with an impressive Lumbar Check, which came very close to getting the job done. Sabre, rattled, was clearly reeling as Alexander went on the offensive, and the high-flier seemed to be coming close to getting the job done. Sabre caught Alexander with the cross armbreaker, and suddenly Cedric was in big trouble. He dug down deep and fought his way to the ropes, before grounding Sabre with a big dropkick. A second Lumbar Check was enough to put ZSJ away, and pick up a well deserved three points for Cedric Alexander.

Winner: Cedric Alexander


That's it for Main Event. Tune in this Sunday for December's big event, Armageddon, starring both Raw and SmackDown superstars.

Henry's Pay-Per-View Reviews: ECW Heatwave 1998

As the world collectively loses it's mind over the coronavirus(this could be a fun intro to look back on in the future), the only sanity that can be found is in the ring. Let's take a look today at what is often considered ECW's finest outing, Heatwave '98. - Jokes aside, everyone should stay safe out there. I know it's easy to panic about these mass outbreaks, and I've certainly felt very nervous about everything I've heard and read over the past week. But I think we all need some fun in our lives right now, and this show is the epitome of distraction. - The opening contest is one of the highlights of the night, as Jerry Lynn takes on Justin Credible. Credible has an entire entourage in his corner, including Chastity, Jason and Nicole Bass, and their involvement in this match at times bordered on excessive. But the match begins to hit it's peak when Lynn puts Credible through a table with a hurricanrana, and it's all fantastic from...

American Dad "Twinanigans" Review

It's been a while since the last Steve and Roger episode, and this week reminded me why that's such a classic American Dad pairing. This is a genuinely fun episode, filled with some great one liners and even a great callback to the show's past. "Twinanigans" centers around the heretofore unmentioned acting careers of Roger and Steve, who twinned it up as the Smith Brothers. I'm not going to question whether this backstory actually makes sense to the overall timeline; no one watches American Dad for continuity. Steve had to give up acting to attend kindergarten, and wants to give Roger a second chance at greatness. The two head to auditions, where Steve impresses and Roger blows it. It's here the episode kinda misfires, as it's never made abundantly clear why Roger struggles so much at acting. Is he just trying too hard, does he have some form of stage fright, does he not even know what acting is? This part of the story is just never explained, w...

The Route of Life

dedicated to my hermits, who changed my life Ch 1 My Hermit crabs Hermit crabs are sometimes hard to take care of. Especially when you never had a hermit. Last Sunday afternoon I got 2 Hermit crabs. Their names are Crabbe and Goyle. I have talked with many sales people. The first Petco we went to (where we got the hermits and their things) seemed to have no idea on the subject. So we ended up going to Dolphin Pet Village. They were more experience at the subject. Now we have some of the things we will need. Last week, I went to a second Petco. There we got a cuttlebone, which is the bone of a fish. Now they look happy. Have a good day Hermit Crabs! Ch 2 Curious Crab The week before last week, my mom looked into my crabitat and found that one of my crabs had climbed one of my fake trees. It was on the top branch. Later, when I was changing to get ready for bed, the crab fell out of his branch. I hope he is okay. He’s definitely starting to look okay. How funny do you think that story is...
