Snow-mageddon 2021

It's been over a week since I last posted here, which is unfortunate but it's not like extended breaks from posting are uncommon for me. This time, it was largely out of my hands. I don't think anyone in the US is unaware of this, but a large majority of southern states have just been run over by freezing cold and near endless snow. I'm not sure how much I mentioned this when it happened, but I moved to Oklahoma in late April/early May 2018, putting me right in the center of this winter storm. Fortunately, our house hasn't lost power yet like many have further south in Texas, but I've been busy with lots of tasks on the ranch where we live, bringing out tons of water and food for our horse and two mini donkeys. I've just been worrying about getting everyone through this more than anything else, and while I wanted to post here, I thought it would be easier to wait until the situation was closer to being resolved. Thankfully, we're approaching that point now, with temperatures above freezing in the coming days, so I'm beginning to turn my focus back to here. 


The last project I was working on before my break was NXT Takeover: Rival for my Universe Mode, though I had only written the intro. As such, I'm just going to scrap that and call a halt to Henry's Universe Mode content, at least for now. I think I want to go back to reviewing some WWE pay-per-views, especially with the Network now in it's final month of operation, at least in this country. My last review was SummerSlam 2002, and I plan to pick up right from there, with Unforgiven up next. Before I get to that review, though, I plan on watching every Raw and SmackDown during the build, to get a better idea of what the product looks like through each month. This means more work on my part, and I don't know if it's something I want to commit to beyond just that one review, we'll see if it improves my content first. It could take me a few days to get around to writing that review, so some patience will be required, but I'll try to get it out as fast as I can. 


I hope everyone out there is staying safe, whether you're in a similar situation to me or not, and I hope to see you here again for Unforgiven 2002, featuring Brock Lesnar defending his newly won WWE Championship against The Undertaker. 


- Henry

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...

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...

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!
