WWE 2k16 Universe Mode Week 1: RAW

Welcome to the first week of the WWE 2k16 Universe Mode! I've spent a lot of time setting this up, so it should go pretty well. It's going to be an insane first week, with 12 different titles to be decided. Let's jump right in.

Week 1
Monday Night Raw
Location: Los Angeles, CA



Brothers of Destruction vs D-Generation X- World Tag Title Match

Natalya vs Trish Stratus vs Lita- Women's Title Match

CM Punk vs Rob Van Dam

Ryback vs John Cena- IC Title Match, Falls Count Anywhere

Seth Rollins vs Brock Lesnar vs Roman Reigns vs Bray Wyatt- World Heavyweight Title Match, Ladder Match

Summary:
We kicked off the very first episode of Raw, live from Los Angeles, with a retro World Tag Team Title Match, featuring the Brothers of Destruction against D-Generation X. The match went back and forth for a little while, with a Sweet Chin-Pedigree Combo scoring a near fall for D-X. The Brothers would turn it around from there, with a bloodied Undertaker hitting a Last Ride on HBK for the pinfall and the World Tag Team Titles. The Women's Title was on the line up next, with Natalya caught in the middle of the rejuvenated Lita-Trish Stratus feud. The women put on a show, with top-rope hurricaranas, lots of suplexs and and hard-hitting action. In the end, it was Trish Stratus with a Chick Kick to Lita that scored the fall, putting Trish back on top of the mountain. The final mid card bout saw the Voice of the Voiceless CM Punk take on the Whole F'n Show Rob Van Dam. This match featured a clash of styles, with Punk's technical wrestling and striking against RVD's high flying ability. A vicious piledriver busted RVD open, and a elbow drop from Punk was enough to score him victory.

The semi-main event featured an old rivalry reignited, as John Cena and Ryback squared off with the prestigious Intercontinental title on the line. The match was surprisingly short but incredibly brutal, with Ryback getting busted open with chair shots by Cena. Both men took full advantage of the Falls Count Anywhere stipulation, brawling outside of the ring for an extended period of time. Two AA's from Cena was enough to put the Big Guy away, as Cena won the only title that has eluded him in his time in the WWE. (Side Note: I will make some adjustments to turn down Cena's OP-ness, as he basically just destroyed Ryback). Finally, it was main event time, a four-way ladder match for the World Heavyweight Title. Some highlights included: Seth Rollins hitting a Phoenix Splash on Bray Wyatt whilst simultaneously drop-kicking Brock Lesnar, Rollins hitting another drop-kick on Brock off the ladder, and a Roman Reigns Samoan drop on Seth off the ladder. In the end, Bray Wyatt slipped up the ladder in all the commotion and snatched the World Heavyweight Title, making him the new face of Raw.

An incredible first night of action saw the Eater of Worlds claim his first world title, John Cena, Trish Stratus, The Undertaker and Kane claim the rest, and the re-debut of CM Punk. Not a bad first night for my WWE Universe. Up next: NXT, where Finn Balor and Kevin Owens face off in the main event with the NXT title on the line. Stay tuned for more universe mode!

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...

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!

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...
