Blog Update- Looking Ahead to 2019

With 2018 almost over and the New Year approaching, I decided it's time for another blog update. Today, I'm here to discuss everything related to my blog and what you expect in 2019. Enjoy!






- First off, I again want to thank everyone who tuned in to my Dog League coverage over the past four months. Those posts generated a lot more traffic than last year, and I definitely felt a lot more comfortable the second time around. Plus, I also managed to avoid feeling any burn-out, which is the most important thing. Going forward, you can expect September-December to be dominated by the Dog League, though there may be a few other posts sprinkled in. I have already planned some changes for next year to keep things fresh so that no one, least of all me, gets bored.


- Hey, American Dad is coming back! The show has been on hiatus since May, but new episodes will begin at the end of January, so get excited for that. I'll be bringing back my weekly reviews, and I'll have to find away to balance that with other content on the blog. There's also a new season of Cloak & Dagger next year, so I don't expect to be covering any other TV shows, as these two will give my plenty of work.


- Of course, the headliner for 2019 is the return of Henry's Universe Mode. I have not been producing weekly shows since December of 2017, well over a year now. Raw and SmackDown will now be weekly, however NXT will stick to the same format as last year, Takeovers only. I did mention bringing in 205 Live at some point, but that obviously fell through, so I'm sticking with the same three shows moving forward. I've already pre-written the first full month of content, and I've been really enjoying it, so hopefully you will too.


- If you've gotten this far, how about a reward? It's time to reveal my schedule for Season 4 of Henry's Universe Mode. Now, I've gone back and forth on this, but I've decided to done pay-per-view a month, with a mix between solo and dual branded. I was thinking of doing more frequent events, but that probably would've slowed everything down, and that's the last thing I wanted.


Season 4 Calendar(in universe, this has no effect on when shows are posted):


January: Royal Rumble(Raw/SmackDown)

February: Elimination Chamber(Raw)

March: WrestleMania(Raw/SmackDown)

April: Backlash(Raw.SmackDown)

May: Extreme Rules(Raw)

June: Money in the Bank(Raw/SmackDown)

July: Battleground(SmackDown)

August: Summerslam(Raw/SmackDown)

September: Clash of Champions(SmackDown)

October: No Mercy(Raw)

November: Survivor Series(Raw/SmackDown)

December: Starrcade(SmackDown)


Any NXT Takeover show would just be distributed in there, mostly at the Big 4 events.


- Finally, I just wanted to address my WWE recaps, which I cancelled back in July. Since then, I've felt no real desire to cover the real life product, and I've felt like my blog has done just fine without any extra content. Saying that, it's no impossible that kind of content could return. The biggest problem is that amount of time I have to dedicate to it, between watching the show and writing up a review. Also, I just don't like the direction WWE is taking, but that's more of a personal issue. I certainly wouldn't be willing to say they're never coming back, but I would need some sort of drastic shift to get me interested.



Hopefully this wasn't too much information to drop at one time, I'm always subconscious about how many words I put in these posts. I'm looking forward to 2019, and hopefully something that I've mentioned today has gotten you more excited for what I've got coming up. 2018 has been a good year for my blog, but hopefully next year will be even better. Sayonara 2018! I'll see you here, on January 1st, 2019, for Monday Night Raw!


- Henry

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. ...

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 #120: Raw

With Fastlane just under two weeks away, we have a big night in store here on Raw. Sasha Banks looks to earn another title shot, the tag champs are in non-title action and in the main event, for the first time since winning the Royal Rumble, Samoa Joe is in action when he faces Mark Henry. Universe Mode Monday Night Raw February 20th, 2017 Location: Anchorage, AK Itami and Balor vs #DIY The tag champs were in action to open Raw, and their opponents were the debuting Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa, #DIY. The debutants held nothing back, going straight after Itami and Balor, who were caught off guard. Both Ciampa and Gargano showed off impressive offense, keeping the champs on their heels. Balor whiffed on the Coup de Grace, and Gargano locked in the Gargano Escape for a huge debut win, catapulting #DIY to the top of the Raw tag team division. Winners: #DIY Roman Reigns vs Alberto Del Rio Roman Reigns made his return to Raw after that hellacious Falls Count ...
