Asuka vs Naomi

The Empress of Tomorrow came into this match in a fury, having lost for most of her time on the main roster thus far. Naomi simply couldn't compete, falling prey to the Asuka Lock.

Winner: Asuka


 Zack Sabre Jr vs Rich Swann- Cruiserweight Classic Group B Match

Sabre was considered a favorite by many to advance to the semi-finals, with Swann a massive underdog. Straight off the start, ZSJ was dominant, taking Swann apart with vicious kicks and slow, methodical offense. Swann stayed in the match, though, using his speed and athleticism to out-maneuver the slower Sabre. All the effort seemed for naught, though, when Sabre countered a high flying move into a cross armbreaker. Swann fought with everything he had, and countered into a small package, shocking the Technical Wizard and getting the three count to advance to the semi-finals.

Winner: Rich Swann


Cedric Alexander vs Drew Gulak- Cruiserweight Classic Group B Match

Drew Gulak had claimed to anyone that he could come across that this would be his night and that Cedric Alexander was going to be taken down a notch. Gulak was proved right at the start, out-wrestling Alexander and taking the high-flier out of his element. Drew would dominate most of the match, but ran into Cedric's incredibly resilience, that made it difficult to put him away. Alexander hung around, and that was good enough, as he turned things around with a big dropkick before putting Gulak away with a big sit-out full nelson facebuster.

Winner: Cedric Alexander


There you have it. Next week, we will see Rich Swann, Cedric Alexander, Kota Ibushi and TJ Perkins face off in the semi-finals, with the winners earning the chance to be crowned the first Cruiserweight champion.

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. ...
