Henry's Universe Mode(Season 4) Episode 38: WrestleMania III (Part 2)

In Part 2 of WrestleMania, Andrade "Cien" Almas must find a way to escape a seemingly impossible title defense against five challengers in a ladder match. The Bar look to back up their claim as the best against the Authors of Pain, Pete Dunne must avoid the distractions against Adam Cole and the newly revived Doctor of Thuganomics, John Cena, faces former WWE Champion Daniel Bryan.

Andrade "Cien" Almas(c) vs Drew McIntyre vs Finn Balor vs Jeff Hardy vs Rey Mysterio vs Ricochet- Ladder Match for the Intercontinental Championship

(Henry's Note- Like at Money in the Bank, I'm skipping right to the finish, as ladder matches can be hard to summarize)

After the dominant Drew McIntyre was taken out by dual diving attacks by Rey Mysterio and Ricochet, that left the two fan favorites to scale the ladder and fight for the gold. It seemed like Ricochet was about to become a two-time champion when Almas made his move. He shoved the ladder holding both men to the ground, and the title, already loose, literally fell right into his hands, a fortunate stoke of luck.

Winner and still Intercontinental Champion: Andrade "Cien" Almas


The Authors of Pain(c) vs The Bar- Raw Tag Team Championship Match

Slowly but surely, Cesaro and Sheamus took apart the champions. They showcased great tag team wrestling, but Akam and Rezar weren't going down easily. The Authors of Pain used brute strength to stay alive, but Cesaro and Sheamus were equal to it. The match devolved into a brawl, and The Bar scored big. Cesaro knocked Akam's lights out with a big uppercut, and Sheamus drilled him with the Brogue Kick, and we have more new champions. 

Winners and the NEW Raw Tag Team Champions: The Bar


Pete Dunne(c) vs Adam Cole- United Kingdom Championship Match

Pete Dunne had a gameplan, and it was simple: neutralize Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly. Immediately, the champion jumped Cole's lackeys, and in moments had accomplished his goal, making this an even one on one match. But that decision would come at a price, as Dunne expended a good amount of energy, and Cole would taken control of the match. Cole would manage to avoid Dunne's desperation strikes, and began to close in on his first singles gold, hitting a big german suplex. Now was the moment, but Adam Cole decided to gloat, enjoying the moment. The Bruiserweight made his pay with multiple big elbow shots, and Cole was dazed. Finally, Dunne set up the Bitter End, but Cole made a crucial counter, turning it around and hitting the Last Shot! He wasted no time in hooking the leg, and the recovering Fish and O'Reilly watched on with glee as teh three count was made. 

Winner and the NEW United Kingdom Champion: Adam Cole


Daniel Bryan vs John Cena

Despite the intensity leading up to this match, Daniel Bryan was intent to out-wrestle John Cena rather than brawl. Bryan was absolutely clinical, using his wide array of submissions to ground the Doctor of Thuganomics. Bryan wasn't afraid to take a chance either, delivering the top rope headbutt for a near fall. The Yes! Lock would be applied, and Cena just managed to power out, only for the hold to be immediately locked in again, and Cena had to fight to the ropes. It was clear that Cena's demise was imminent, but he utilized a cheap trick, shoving the official in the way of the Busaiku Knee from Bryan. Cena then pulled out a pair of brass knuckles, and clocked Bryan in the head with them! Cena woke up the official, and hit Bryan with the F-U! 1...............2.................kick-out! New Orleans went crazy as Cena looked stunned. Bryan fought back into the match with a series of kicks, and looked for a big roundhouse. But at the last minute, Cena rolled out of the way, and dropped Bryan with another F-U! A grinning Cena kept control of Bryan, and rolled through to hit another F-U, and as the crowd loudly booed, the three count was made. 

Winner: John Cena

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...

Universe Mode SmackDown Live September 12th, 2017 Location: Dallas, TX Heath Slater vs Aiden English This was a big chance for momentum for both of these two men, as Slater was kicked out of the Social Outcasts a few months ago, while English's tag team partner, Simon Gotch, was recently released. Both of these men showed a lot of potential, and got the crowd invested on a couple of nea...
