Henry's Universe Mode(Season 4) NXT Takeover: Tokyo Preview

NXT General Manager Triple H was ecstatic to announce NXT's next Takeover event, emanating live from Tokyo, Japan. The metropolitan heart of the Land of the Rising Sun will witness an incredible night of action, featuring some new high profile NXT signees from Japan.






NXT Takeover: Tokyo Card


The Ascension(c) vs War Raiders- NXT Tag Team Championship Match

The Modern Day Vikings known as Hanson and Rowe have made an immediate impact on NXT, going right after the tag team champions. This promises to be a major hoss battle to open the show, but which team will reign supreme?


Apollo Crews vs Velveteen Dream

After EC3 cheated to beat Velveteen Dream, Triple H announced the Dream would get another chance, this time against the former NXT Champion Apollo Crews. Dream got into Crews' head, costing his friend Akira Tozawa a shot at the Cruiserweight Championship, leading to a confrontation between both men where Dream would score a cheap shot and then scamper to the back.


Cedric Alexander(c) vs KUSHIDA- Cruiserweight Championship Match

It was new signing KUSHIDA who unintentionally benefited from the actions of the Velveteen Dream, becoming the number one contender over Tozawa. The Time Splitter is very familiar with competing in front of the Tokyo crowd, and will attempt to end Cedric Alexander's reign before it even truly begins.


Toni Storm(c) vs Io Shirai- NXT Women's Championship Match

The Genius of the Sky, Io Shirai has awed the NXT faithful over the past few months, using her incredible skillset to work her way up the ladder. Now she gets her chance against the seemingly unstoppable Toni Storm, who has beaten just about everyone in the division.


EC3(c) vs Hideo Itami- NXT Championship Match

Former NXT Champion Hideo Itami recently revealed that his career is winding down. His hard hitting, no limits style has taken it's toll, with many specialists recommending Itami hang up the boots. But Hideo is not ready to leave just yet, wanting one last shot at glory, challenging EC3 to a championship match. The champion initially declined, but accepted when Hideo gambled it all, offering to retire should he lose. After 18 years, multiple championships and a whole list of stellar matches, it all comes down to this. Championship vs Career, as everything Hideo Itami has accomplished in his distinguished career comes down to one more match.

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. ...

American Dad "Stompe Le Monde" Review

You know, I once tried to make it in musical theater. If only I had watched this episode beforehand, I would've known I needed a leather jacket to truly make it. Alas, those dreams are for a more pretentious soul than mine. "Stompe Le Monde" is a wild episode of American Dad, one that starts with Stan's previously unknown uncle dying and ends with wanton destruction of many Sonic Drive-Ins. It's a crazy a journey as it sounds, one that left me just struggling to keep up. The family to use the new inheritance to travel to New York City, but Stan quickly blows the money on the rights to Stomp, which is apparently a real musical. The whole town of Langley is very excited to see the new show, but Stan has no idea what he's doing, never once hiring a director or even rehearsing. Why this only came up literally minutes before opening is anyone's guess. The Smith Family is forced to go on the run, and are attacked by many ferocious coyotes off-screen. In ye...

American Dad "The Hand that Rocks the Rogu" Review

American Dad as a show is definitely not afraid to get a little freaky, and nothing is more evident than the existence of Rogu, Roger's tumor that became a character himself in "Persona Assistant". Rogu primarily works as a character because he stays in the background, but this week, he takes a starring role in one of the weirdest American Dad episodes to date. "The Hand that Rocks the Rogu" has little in the way of traditional plot structure, and can only barely be considered an episode at all. It's more a collection of funny and bizarre skits, with a few running plot points that end up forming some sort of resolution. Steve wants to become a babysitter, but Francine says he's not ready, so he needs to prove himself to her. He does that by taking care of Rogu, as Roger is off for a night of NSFW activities. Steve is instructed not to let Rogu have candy or screentime, but violates both rules almost immediately. It turns out that Rogu multiplies w...
