A Quick Update

I had hoped to be launching right back into reviewing, but I've found that a little bit more difficult than expected, so I'm here again for what is essentially a part 2 to my July 2020 blog update. This post should be a bit shorter than that one, though.


The fact is, I've really tried to commit to reviewing every WWE pay-per-view, but I just have to accept that it's not an attainable goal. I liked the idea of seeing a slow buildup through the years, eventually reaching modern wrestling, but that means covering a slew of terrible 90s shows. I might go into more detail in the future, but I've definitely discovered why business was beginning to drop off at this time. That being said, there are still some shows between the start of the decade and the Attitude Era that I wish to review, so going forward, I'm just going to be picking and choosing between them. Prepare to see a metric sh**ton of Bret Hart, because he's headlining pretty much every pay-per-view I chose. My goal now is to get to 1998(where the company has a better product and more modern event schedule) while still giving you an idea of what's going on, with at least one review per year.


We get back going again with Royal Rumble 1991, featuring The Ultimate Warrior defending his WWF title against Sgt. Slaughter, the first multi-time Rumble winner is crowned and The Rockers compete in what Dave Meltzer called the best pay-per-view match since Steamboat-Savage. See you soon.

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...
