A (Somewhat) Lengthy Blog Update

Hey guys, it's Henry. I got a few things I want to share, and I encourage everyone to read the full post, as it's pretty important.

As you may have noticed, the Universe Mode series has been taking some steps backward. Although the series has been very successful, and I've loved seeing how much my blog has grown, I'm not having fun and each post has become a chore. That was Main Event was cancelled, several weeks have been missed and a few posts have been a day or two late. The biggest problem I've encountered is that the Universe Mode series has completely taken over my blog, not just in the amount of posts but the time it consumes. You may not realize this, but each post takes about 1 and a half to 2 hours to make. I certainly have that amount of time, but it uses up all the time I'm willing to work on my blog. After all, this blog is not the central aspect of my life, and I don't want to be working on it all the time. The time I do spend working on the blog is devoted entirely to Universe Mode and nothing else, which is not what this blog was supposed to be about.

I don't know the future of Universe Mode, or the blog in general. I'm contemplating posting the series once a week, a "Week in Review" type of thing, where I run through what happened on each show. I want to bring other content to my blog; I've wanted to post about MLB 16 The Show, I want to cover Madden when that releases, and I'll probably be reviewing several TV shows this fall. With all that in mind, I can't afford to be spending 6-8 hours a week on Universe Mode. It's just the reality of the situation. I'll be sure to keep you posted on the future of Universe Mode, but I don't think it's going away, if that's any consolation. It's my longest running series in the history of this blog, and I don't want to see it be cancelled.

-Henry

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!

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. ...

Lost and Found: The Legacy of Bray Wyatt

On August 24th, 2023, the professional wrestling world experienced yet another devastating heartbreak, as Windham Rotunda, aka Bray Wyatt, passed away at the age of 36. Wyatt has a number of accolades to his name after over a decade spent in the WWE, having won the namesake championship once, in addition to competing at multiple WrestleManias. That's the cliffnotes version, the driest form of exposition to summarize one of the most captivating careers we as wrestling fans have ever witnessed. But Bray's legacy and impact, brief as it was, is truly one of a kind.  "Potential" was the buzzword for Bray from the very beginning, and even at his earliest stages as a performer, it was impossible to ignore. Bray's early days spent tagging with his younger brother, the future Bo Dallas, in the soon-to-be defunct Florida Championship Wrestling passed without notice, but the two third-generation progenies found the spotlight quickly. The grassroots of NXT formed under their...
