 Eric Young vs Jack Gallagher- NXT Championship Tournament 1st Round Match

Eric Young, the leader of the new group called Sanity, was accompanied by stable mates Killian Dain and Nikki Cross as he faced the Extraordinary Gentleman, Jack Gallagher. From the start, the numbers game played a huge factor, as Dain and Cross got involved whenever their leader was in trouble. Gallagher did his best, but simply couldn't overcome the disadvantage, and fell prey to a vicious neckbreaker that sent EY through to the next round.

Winner: Eric Young


 A New Force Debuts

Next week on NXT, we will see the debut of the much hyped Authors of Pain, as they face Zack Ryder and Mojo Rawley, the Hype Bros, in tag team action.


Natalya vs Carmella

These two met back in February on Main Event, with Natalya walking away victorious. Though Carmella was eager to reverse her fortune, she ran straight into a brick wall. The Queen of Harts was completely superior on this night, and forced a submission with the Sharpshooter.

Winner: Natalya


Drew Gulak vs Hideo Itami- NXT Championship Tournament 1st Round Match

This was Hideo Itami's return to NXT, and the Full Sail crowd seemed very happy to see him back. Drew Gulak looked to spoil the party, as the Human Torture Device dished out punishment early. Hideo responded in kind with his incredible variety of strikes, and things got ugly quickly. A Busaiki Knee laid Gulak out, but the International Sensation chose not to go for the cover. This viciousness nearly cost him, as Drew looked in a Dragon Sleeper. Hideo fought to the ropes, and scored big with a GTS to pick up the win.

Winner: Hideo Itami

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 ...
