Henry's Universe Mode #216: Halloween Havoc(Part 1)

Tonight, we celebrate darkness, despair and decay. Tonight, we honor the depravity of life, and of those that are willing to travel the path less taken. In a battle months in the making, Finn Balor embraces his dark side, as he looks to harness the power of his Demon to dethrone the unstoppable force that is Braun Strowman. Alexa Bliss must face a monster from her past, and in our main event, John Cena defends his spot atop SmackDown Live against the disturbed and motivated Bray Wyatt.

And now, Raw and SmackDown present..............Halloween Havoc!

Shinsuke Nakamura(c) vs Rusev- 2 Out of 3 Falls Match for the United States Championship

Shinsuke Nakamura opened this match with his impressive arsenal of strikes, kicking and elbowing the former champion. Rusev responded with power, including a uranage and a release side slam. Nakamura looked several times for a move off the top rope, but Rusev continued to thwart the champion, eventually getting a near fall with the Machka Kick. The Bulgarian Brute began to work toward the Accolade, but Shinsuke slipped out of the way, delivering his reverse exploder suplex. Off the top rope, diving knee to the face! And then the Kinshasa, which scored the first fall. After the rest period, Nakamura lost the advantage, Rusev raking the eyes. A second Machka Kick, Accolade applied! Shinsuke was one step ahead, quickly fighting to the ropes. An incensed Rusev tried to follow up, but was dumped to the floor. Nakamura followed, slamming Rusev face first off the steel steps. Back into the ring, and then a middle rope Kinshasa! The challenger was down and out, but Nakamura wanted to make sure. Backing up, a third Kinshasa! A decisive victory, winning two falls to none, and the champion proved that No Mercy was no fluke. 

Winner and still United States Champion: Shinsuke Nakamura


Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens(c) vs The Titanic Alliance- SmackDown Tag Team Championship Match

The newly named Titantic Alliance of Big Cass and Big Show gave the champions all they could handle in this title match. Early on, they focused all of their offense on Sami Zayn, wearing the smaller man down. The heart of Zayn is unquestioned, and neither a spear from Show nor a big boot from Cass could keep him down. Cass looked for the East River Crossing, but Sami fired up, making the tag to Kevin Owens. The champions worked perfectly in tandem, taking down their challengers with dual suicide dives. Zayn was tagged back in, and piked Cass with a Brainbuster, Owens following up with a frog splash for an impressive title defense. 

Winners and still SmackDown Tag Team Champions: Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens


Kenny Omega(c) vs Baron Corbin- Intercontinental Championship Match

Kenny Omega was essentially fighting two men here tonight, as Randy Orton did his best to hand Baron Corbin the championship. The Viper's distractions played a key role early, as he helped Corbin stay alive and get a near fall with the Deep Six. Corbin set up for the End of Days, but Omega countered. The Cleaner decided he'd had enough, taking out Orton with a Tope Con Hilo! That left Omega and Corbin in the ring, and eventually a 450 splash and the One Winged Angel put the match away. 

Winner and still Intercontinental Champion: Kenny Omega


The New Day vs The Revival- #1 Contender's Match for the Raw Tag Team Championships

If anyone was ever going to make a case for The Revival as one of the best teams in the world today, they would use the film from this match. This was elementary, effective tag team wrestling from Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson, taking any advantage available and bending the rules when necessary. Big E and Kofi Kingston did give the fans some hope, including a near fall off the Unicorn Stampede, but the ending was always inevitable. It was Kofi that would take the Shatter Machine, and now The Revival look ahead to The Shield at Survivor Series. 

Winners: The Revival

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...

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...
