Backlash 2018 Recap

Backlash 2016 Score: 9/10
Backlash 2017 Score: 5/10




- Well, I think this is the first time in history this has happened. Guys, I don't really have a lot to offer about this show. Most of the matches were not great, although there was nothing that completely stood as terrible. It was all......just so pointless. Even a great match, like Rollins vs Miz, was extremely predictable, and turned something good into something forgettable. It just felt like everyone didn't care, from the booking staff to a large majority of the wrestlers, to the fans in attendance. Nothing on this show felt right, and nothing felt like it belonged on a pay-per-view card, to be brutally honest. I feel like Greatest Royal Rumble got a bad rap as the "glorified house show", because this felt a lot more like that. I've run out of energy to talk about this show. One to forget, really. 


3/10(marked down for feeling completely unnecessary)


Throughout my time as a WWE fan, I've been angry plenty of times. I've been frustrated at the product, frustrated at fan reactions and unsatisfied with plenty of shows with great hype. But never, ever, have I felt as hopeless as I did watching this show. There's almost nothing to feel hopeful about, because almost nothing happened. I'm sorry for leaving you guys such a despondent review, but that's how I feel, and I think it's important for you to know. Hopefully in the future, I can get back to enjoying this shows, because that's what I want. I want to enjoy watching WWE shows, and enjoy giving you my thoughts on them, and I just didn't tonight. Let's just move the f*** on.

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...

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...
