Rich Swann and Cedric Alexander vs Brian Kendrick and Drew Gulak

Swann and Alexander were semi-finalists in the CWC for a good reason, as they showed in this tag match. The brutality of Kendrick and Gulak simply wasn't enough, a 450 Splash from Swann to Gulak sealing the deal.

Winners: Rich Swann and Cedric Alexander


Alberto Del Rio vs Tye Dillinger

The Perfect Ten, Tye Dillinger, had all the fan support going up against Alberto Del Rio. Unfortunately, the veteran Del Rio picked the newcomer apart with vicious, methodical offense. Dillinger stayed alive as long as he could, even hitting a Tye Breaker for a two count, but in the end, it wasn't enough. Del Rio locked in the Cross Armbreaker, and Dillinger had no choice but to tap.

Winner: Alberto Del Rio


TJ Perkins vs Kota Ibushi- Cruiserweight Title Match

This big rematch, with the brand new Cruiserweight Title at stake, got going in a quick way. The undefeated Ibushi got some high flying moves in early, but soon the tides had shifted. Perkins wrestled his style, picking Ibushi apart. For the second time in as many weeks, the Golden Star was in serious trouble. Perkins took Ibushi down to the mat, and locked in the TJP Clutch, right in the center of the ring. Ibushi struggled, but couldn't reach the ropes. He continued to fight, the hold locked in for whole minutes. Finally, shockingly, Ibushi tapped, and a new Cruiserweight Champion was crowned!

TJ Perkins lifted his new title aloft, getting congratulations from a still shocked Ibushi. It seemed all was right for TJP, until the music of Neville played. The Man That Gravity Forgot stormed the ring, blind-siding Perkins with big strikes. He decimated the new champ with a Red Arrow, before holding the title in the air to close the show.

Winner and the NEW Cruiserweight Champion: TJ Perkins


TJ Perkins is the new Cruiserweight champion, and it appears that he's already found a new contender in Neville. Thank you for tuning in to Main Event.

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. ...

American Dad "Stompe Le Monde" Review

You know, I once tried to make it in musical theater. If only I had watched this episode beforehand, I would've known I needed a leather jacket to truly make it. Alas, those dreams are for a more pretentious soul than mine. "Stompe Le Monde" is a wild episode of American Dad, one that starts with Stan's previously unknown uncle dying and ends with wanton destruction of many Sonic Drive-Ins. It's a crazy a journey as it sounds, one that left me just struggling to keep up. The family to use the new inheritance to travel to New York City, but Stan quickly blows the money on the rights to Stomp, which is apparently a real musical. The whole town of Langley is very excited to see the new show, but Stan has no idea what he's doing, never once hiring a director or even rehearsing. Why this only came up literally minutes before opening is anyone's guess. The Smith Family is forced to go on the run, and are attacked by many ferocious coyotes off-screen. In ye...

American Dad "The Hand that Rocks the Rogu" Review

American Dad as a show is definitely not afraid to get a little freaky, and nothing is more evident than the existence of Rogu, Roger's tumor that became a character himself in "Persona Assistant". Rogu primarily works as a character because he stays in the background, but this week, he takes a starring role in one of the weirdest American Dad episodes to date. "The Hand that Rocks the Rogu" has little in the way of traditional plot structure, and can only barely be considered an episode at all. It's more a collection of funny and bizarre skits, with a few running plot points that end up forming some sort of resolution. Steve wants to become a babysitter, but Francine says he's not ready, so he needs to prove himself to her. He does that by taking care of Rogu, as Roger is off for a night of NSFW activities. Steve is instructed not to let Rogu have candy or screentime, but violates both rules almost immediately. It turns out that Rogu multiplies w...
