Henry's Universe Mode(Season 4): Summerslam Preview(Part 1)

It's the biggest event of the Summer, because Summerslam has finally arrived. Let's take a look at Part 1 of the card.






Summerslam 2018 Card


Jason Jordan(c) vs Pete Dunne- United States Championship Match

In the first confrontation between champion and challenger, The Bruiserweight shut Jason Jordan up, immediately delivering a Bitter End. Pete Dunne will hope his straight forward aggressive approach will win him the championship, while Jason Jordan will hope for revenge to start the show.


John Cena vs Samoa Joe

On SmackDown, John Cena finally ended his losing streak, beating Rey Mysterio in a competitive match. Afterward, Samoa Joe looked to get revenge on Rey for beating him a number one contender's match, but Cena made the save. Helping out the luchadore, Cena would assist Mysterio in hitting Joe with a 619. An angry Samoa Joe quickly got revenge, taking Rey out in a vicious backstage assault, as Cena was too late to make the save this time. Cena made the challenge for a match to settle the score and it was accepted, as two men who have never shared the same ring face off in a dream match that has gotten highly personal.


The Revival(c) vs The Bar- Raw Tag Team Championship Match

Cesaro and Sheamus won a number one contender's gauntlet match two weeks ago on Raw, but didn't have time to celebrate as The Revival attacked. Cesaro and Sheamus returned the favor, brawling with the champions on the go-home show.


Asuka(c) vs Kairi Sane- SmackDown Women's Championship Match

The Pirate Princess has finally earned a championship match, getting another win over Ember Moon and then out-lasting Sasha Banks to get here. Both champion and challenger have been respectful towards each other, though Asuka doesn't seem to take Sane completely seriously. Will that blase attitude cost the Empress of SmackDown Live?


Seth Rollins(c) vs Braun Strowman- Universal Championship Match

It's David vs Goliath in Part 1's main event, as Seth Rollins defends against Braun Strowman. After Strowman literally walked right through Bobby Lashley and the cage at Vengeance, he has been on a war path since, delivering powerslams left and right, including two to Rollins. But Seth hasn't given up, declaring that Monday Night Rollins will reign forever. He took the fight to the Monster Among Men on the go-home show, succeeding in taking Strowman down and nearly hitting the Blackout as Braun was forced to retreat, hoping for better luck on Sunday.

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...
