Blog Update- February 2021

 January was a more chaotic month than I anticipated going in, which could honestly mean a ton of different things, but I'm talking specifically about my blog. I started working on my "Dynasty by the Bay" series, which sunk thanks to my lack of interest in continuing to play games on Madden 12. Then I did a couple of AEW reviews, that was fun but didn't quite work for me, before I finally returned to my Universe Mode, and that was what stuck. Life never quite works out the way you expect it to, but hey, at least I'm having fun.


What does that mean? Well, for starters, I'm in the process of fully updating my wiki in preparation for Season 6. No guarantees on when that work will be done, but in the meantime, you can check out the roster page to see the updated rosters for all three brands following the "Free Agency Window". It's a brand new idea on my part in an attempt to replace the outdated "WWE Draft" format. Essentially, every wrestler, save for champions, had their contract expire at the end of Season 5, making all of them eligible to sign anywhere they please. I'm happy with the way the rosters ended up, I think there was enough change to keep things fresh and set up a load of interesting new storylines. 


The plan is for Season 6 to start soon, likely within the next few days. As always, it will run all the way to WrestleMania V, which I expect should all take place on WWE 2k20. Should I push through all of that, I would then be facing a big choice over the future of the series, since it's not yet known what consoles 2k22 would be releasing on. I don't have a next-gen console, and I doubt I will by the end of the year, so we'll just have to wait and see. 


As for anything non-Universe Mode, I have considered continuing my WWE pay-per-view reviews, though with the Network being absorbed into the Peacock streaming service, this is not a great period of time to jump in. If that's something I want to return to, I would likely want to wait until March 18th when the merger goes through. That's too far off to be much of a concern right now, which is why I remain concentrated on my Universe Mode.

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 ...

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.

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. ...

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. ...
