The Miz hosts Miz TV, accompanied by Maryse

The Judgment Day Pre-Show opened with the Awesome One in the ring, accompanied by the French Beauty Maryse, Miz's wife. The Miz stated that, on Smackdown, he got rid of the monkey on his back when he fired Damien Mizdow, who was going to cause him nothing but trouble. The only person he needs by his side is Maryse, who is the only one who has ever earned his respect and trust. To prove how dominate Miz is, he declared that next week on Smackdown, he will host the Awesome Challenge, and invite a member of the Smackdown roster to try their luck against the Awesome One.


 Randy Savage vs Bret Hart

Our pre-show bout was in many people's eyes a dream match, as two legends in Randy "Macho Man" Savage faced Bret "The Hitman" Hart squared off. Bret's niece Natalya would wrestle later on for the Women's World Title, and The Hitman couldn't resist getting back in the ring. The match was announced on short notice, the reason behind it being on the pre-show, and both men wanted to steal the show and prove that they could still go. It was a very even match, with each hitting a piledriver and watching the other kick out. Bret continued to look for an opportunity to lock in the Sharpshooter, but Savage continued fighting out. Savage climbed to the top rope and connected with the Elbow Drop, but that wasn't enough to put it away. Bret did lock in the Sharpshooter, but he hadn't done enough damage to the legs of Savage, who fought out. More traded offense, and a second Elbow from Savage, only to see Bret kick out again. Despite his best attempts, Bret couldn't lock in another Sharpshooter, but did catch Savage with a big Brainbuster that put him down for the 3 count.

Winner: Bret Hart



I hope you've enjoyed the Judgment Day Pre-Show. Up next, the event itself, which will be posted later today. Until then, take care.

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...

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...

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...
