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 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...

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...

The Route of Life

dedicated to my hermits, who changed my life Ch 1 My Hermit crabs Hermit crabs are sometimes hard to take care of. Especially when you never had a hermit. Last Sunday afternoon I got 2 Hermit crabs. Their names are Crabbe and Goyle. I have talked with many sales people. The first Petco we went to (where we got the hermits and their things) seemed to have no idea on the subject. So we ended up going to Dolphin Pet Village. They were more experience at the subject. Now we have some of the things we will need. Last week, I went to a second Petco. There we got a cuttlebone, which is the bone of a fish. Now they look happy. Have a good day Hermit Crabs! Ch 2 Curious Crab The week before last week, my mom looked into my crabitat and found that one of my crabs had climbed one of my fake trees. It was on the top branch. Later, when I was changing to get ready for bed, the crab fell out of his branch. I hope he is okay. He’s definitely starting to look okay. How funny do you think that story is...
