Announcing Season Four of Henry's Universe Mode!

On August 18th, 2018, I officially ended Season Three of my Universe Mode with my second WrestleMania. In a blog update a few days later, I basically confirmed that the longest running series on Henry's World will continue, and that is still my plan. In January 2019, Henry's Universe Mode will enter Season Four with the second WWE Draft. However, at the start of each season, I always like to change things up to keep the series fresh, and I've got a few ideas that I'll share with you today. Let's get started.




Henry's Universe Mode: Season 4 Plans


- First off, this is a standard one, but it goes without saying that Season Four will be on WWE 2k19. I'm pretty excited about the new release, and 2k has added some nice new features this year that I likely will be using. Nothing huge; just a few tweaks here and there.


- If you've looked at my wiki lately, you'll note that I've shifted away from using a real-life calendar. I found it too limiting, and too difficult to keep track of. Instead, I'm just using the standard in-game calendar, with four weeks to a month. I'm going to slowly keep updating the championships and shows on the wiki to account for this change, and it should be finished by the time the new series starts. 


- Brand exclusive pay-per-views are back, as are weekly shows. I've been watching a lot of Universe Mode content from a YouTube channel called GPWrestling(link here), and I've pretty much copied his pay-per-view schedule. If you look at my wiki, you can find the new calendar(up to Summerslam) or you can just wait to see it in action. 


- No promises, but I'm going to try to add a bit more to the weekly Raw and SmackDown shows. I'm going to try to scale back on the detail for matches and short angles, to allow for a more full experience. I do want to make it another full year, so if I have to go to shorter shows or just pay-per-views only, I will do it.


- As always, a new release can wreck havoc on an already existing Universe Mode. I've done my absolute best to make the 2k18 to 2k19 transition as smooth as possible, but it's still going to be rough. Hopefully the first few shows go okay, and it should all be up from there. 




We're just under three months away from the official return of Henry's Universe Mode content, and meanwhile there will still continue to be Dog League posts for the rest of the year. I'm excited for the future of my blog and Henry's Universe Mode, and I hope you are too.

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: 2017 WWE Draft

We are here today to conduct the first ever WWE Draft, where Raw and SmackDown competitors will learn the fates heading into Season 3 of Henry's Universe Mode. In this post, I will give an explanation of the rules, before unveiling each draft pick and giving you my thoughts. Enjoy! Rules -Each brand will have five draft picks, ten picks total. -Champions are not eligible to be drafted. -Tag teams/stables can be drafted as a unit or individuals, depending on what the GM wants and what the wrestler wants. -Thanks to winning Brand Warfare, SmackDown will get the first pick, while Raw will get the last pick. The 2017 WWE Draft begins..........right now! Pick #1- SmackDown selects Brock Lesnar What a way to start of the draft, as the Beast Incarnate in heading to Tuesday Nights. Since losing to Samoa Joe a few weeks ago on Raw, we haven't seen anything from Brock Lesnar. This move will certainly have most of the SmackDown roster looking over their shoulder. ...

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. ...
