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 #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...
