Aleister Black vs Eric Young

This was a dominant performance from the Anti-Hero, Aleister Black, who showed off his impressive arsenal of strikes and suplexes. Eric Young never really had a chance to get into this match, and soon he was only fighting just to survive. The result was inevitable, with the Black Mass connecting not once but twice, knocking EY clean out.

Winner: Aleister Black


A Chat

Backstage, we saw Adam Cole enter the office of William Regal. After an impressive win over Apollo Crews last week, it was clear that Cole is looking for another shot at Hideo Itami, but will he get it?


Andrade Almas vs Noam Dar

The psychology of the Scottish Supernova Noam Dar in this match was off the charts, as he went to work on the right knee of Andrade Almas right from the start. Throughout the match, Dar would continue to work on the knee, including with a nasty low dropkick. In the end, he got that Champagne Superkneebar locked in, and Almas tapped out.

Winner: Noam Dar


Ember Moon vs Nikki Cross

We saw the confrontation between these two women last week, and we would get the match this week. The former champion Ember Moon seemed obsessed with sending a statement to Natalya, and we saw her more violent side come out in this match. It was more to her detriment though, as the more vicious style suited the female leader of Sanity, as Cross got the win with a Samoan Driver.

Afterward, Natalya entered the ring, talking some trash to Ember Moon about her loss. As she was doing this, she was attacked from behind by Nikki Cross, who sent her own message as she took hold of the NXT Women's Championship.

Winner: Nikki Cross


An Ambush

We then saw Adam Cole emerge from Regal's office, smiling. He was then jumped by Apollo Crews, who screamed obscenities at him. Cole showed up Apollo last week, and he was made to pay for it, as it took several officials to drag Crews away.


Kassius Ohno vs Killian Dain

This was a massive main event in more ways than one, as these two vicious brawlers put on a match that more resembled a bar fight. Kassius Ohno utilized his brutal strikes and surprising agility throughout the match, but although his offense was flashy, it didn't get the job done. Killian Dain was more straight-forward, using his size to wear Ohno down. In what could be considered an upset, the Beast of Belfast survived long enough to connect with the Ulster Plantation to get the three count.

As Killian Dain celebrated his big win, the other two members of Sanity joined him in the ring. Young and Dain joined together to lay an extra beatdown on Kassius Ohno. The music of Hideo Itami then hit, and the NXT Champion charged the ring, laying out Young with a GTS to end this episode of NXT.

Winner: Killian Dain

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. ...
