Tyler Breeze(c) vs Rob Van Dam- Light Heavyweight Title Match




Summary:
The first Main Event of the series opened with a Diva's Tag Team match, as former Diva's champ AJ Lee partnered up with Kaitlyn to take on Naomi and Tamina. AJ and Kaitlyn looked like the better team from the opening bell, tagging in an out, while Naomi refused to tag in Tamina and wound up getting punished for it as she was isolated. AJ nearly had the match won off a belly to belly, as it took Tamina interjecting herself to save the match. AJ then hit a Shining Wizard, and Tamina had to save again. Once Tamina got into the match, she turned the tide, as she and Naomi started dominating the match, isolating Kaitlyn. All four women traded offense for a little while, with a few more near falls, before AJ suplexed Tamina off the top rope to get the victory. Next up was a battle of Luchadores, as Pentagon Junior faced Rey Mysterio. Before the match could start, Pentagon, eager to make an impression, jumped Rey on the ramp, forcing the official to restore order before the bell rang. Pentagon displayed an awesome variety of moves, hitting several very painful maneuvers and looking like he was going to put away Rey early. The Ultimate Underdog fought back, however, hitting a big suicide dive to the outside. A bulldog for Rey didn't get the job done, and a Sling Blade from Pentagon was kicked out of. A pair of insane moonsaults to the outside gave Pentagon an opening, and he used it, hitting the Fear Factor for the victory.

The main event of Main Event saw the Light Heavyweight Title on the line as Prince Pretty, Tyler Breeze faced Rob Van Dam. Van Dam showed surprising resilience, fighting everything Breeze had to offer. A Super-Model Kick from Breeze looked to have gotten him the win, but Van Dam kicked out of that. Breeze tried to cheat, setting up a chair in the corner to ram Van Dam's head into, but RVD reversed, and it was Breeze who ate steel. RVD was in control following a few dives off the top rope, but made the mistake of turning his back on Breeze, who hit an Enziguri, but Van Dam kicked out. After Van Dam went for another pinfall, as they got to their feet, Breeze hit the Beauty Shot, but Van Dam kicked out of that too. Exhausted, Van Dam could barely stand, and when he did, Breeze hit a second Beauty Shot to put it away and retain his title.

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 ...

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. ...
