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.

Curious Crab

One Monday night my mom looked into my crabitat and found that a crab had climbed into one of my fake trees. It was in the top branch. I looked in later, and found that the crab had fallen out of the tree. I hope he is okay. What a day!

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. ...

Lost and Found: The Legacy of Bray Wyatt

On August 24th, 2023, the professional wrestling world experienced yet another devastating heartbreak, as Windham Rotunda, aka Bray Wyatt, passed away at the age of 36. Wyatt has a number of accolades to his name after over a decade spent in the WWE, having won the namesake championship once, in addition to competing at multiple WrestleManias. That's the cliffnotes version, the driest form of exposition to summarize one of the most captivating careers we as wrestling fans have ever witnessed. But Bray's legacy and impact, brief as it was, is truly one of a kind.  "Potential" was the buzzword for Bray from the very beginning, and even at his earliest stages as a performer, it was impossible to ignore. Bray's early days spent tagging with his younger brother, the future Bo Dallas, in the soon-to-be defunct Florida Championship Wrestling passed without notice, but the two third-generation progenies found the spotlight quickly. The grassroots of NXT formed under their...
