 Eric Young vs Jack Gallagher- NXT Championship Tournament 1st Round Match

Eric Young, the leader of the new group called Sanity, was accompanied by stable mates Killian Dain and Nikki Cross as he faced the Extraordinary Gentleman, Jack Gallagher. From the start, the numbers game played a huge factor, as Dain and Cross got involved whenever their leader was in trouble. Gallagher did his best, but simply couldn't overcome the disadvantage, and fell prey to a vicious neckbreaker that sent EY through to the next round.

Winner: Eric Young


 A New Force Debuts

Next week on NXT, we will see the debut of the much hyped Authors of Pain, as they face Zack Ryder and Mojo Rawley, the Hype Bros, in tag team action.


Natalya vs Carmella

These two met back in February on Main Event, with Natalya walking away victorious. Though Carmella was eager to reverse her fortune, she ran straight into a brick wall. The Queen of Harts was completely superior on this night, and forced a submission with the Sharpshooter.

Winner: Natalya


Drew Gulak vs Hideo Itami- NXT Championship Tournament 1st Round Match

This was Hideo Itami's return to NXT, and the Full Sail crowd seemed very happy to see him back. Drew Gulak looked to spoil the party, as the Human Torture Device dished out punishment early. Hideo responded in kind with his incredible variety of strikes, and things got ugly quickly. A Busaiki Knee laid Gulak out, but the International Sensation chose not to go for the cover. This viciousness nearly cost him, as Drew looked in a Dragon Sleeper. Hideo fought to the ropes, and scored big with a GTS to pick up the win.

Winner: Hideo Itami

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...
