Blog Update- July 2020

I join you again here near the end of July to give you another blog update, with two important issues to address. Let's get to it.


For starters, it's been a couple days since I last posted a pay-per-view review, and I doubt any will be posted in the next few days, if not longer. I've really enjoyed watching and reviewing these craptastic 80s/90s WWE shows, but I've recently been feeling a bit of a drop in both my interest and in my readership. This isn't a huge surprise to me, a lot of these shows aren't going to generate a ton of interest from anyone, who really needs to see 50 Jim Duggan or Hercules matches. Again, I kind of knew this could happen, but now that it has, I get an opportunity to try and work through it. I don't know whether this is just a break and I come back stronger than ever, or if I just throw in the towel and decide that reviewing every WWE pay-per-view isn't for me. As I said, I'm not planning on posting any of them anytime soon, probably until the end of the month at the very least. I think a break is exactly what I need right now to clear my head and make a concrete decision.


The second problem that's been hanging over my head is the Dog League, and I'm sorry to announce this, but as commissioner, it is my responsibility to inform you that the Dog League's 2020 season has been cancelled. I just don't feel like the NFL is going to be able to get their act together to make fantasy football in any way enjoyable, so I'm not even going to try. Even under the best case scenario, there's a huge possibility for a large number of NFL players and teams to be affected by COVID, and I don't wish to force the Dog League teams to try and deal with that. Hopefully, the league will come back in a big way in 2021. This decision does leave me in a bit of a quandary, as I was planning to have keepers in place to have every team bring back their same roster from last year, not to mention the plans to expand to 8 teams. I don't know how I'm going to handle all of that, but it's a problem for next year's Henry to figure out, because 2020 Henry really doesn't want to have to deal with it.


This break for posting should hopefully not last too long, and in all likelihood, the next time you see me will be for the SummerSlam 1990 review. I hope everyone is taking care out there, the world remains a very scary place.

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 ...

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.
