Blake and Murphy vs Authors of Pain

Akam and Rezar had dark thoughts on their minds as they faced the out-matched Blake and Murphy. It was a dominant display from the Authors of Pain, much to the delight of Paul Ellering. They were not in trouble too much through out the match, and Rezar planted Blake with a massive powerbomb to pick up the win.

After the match, the Authors of Pain celebrated in the ring, while The Ascension made their way to the stage. These two dominant teams stared down, but luckily, officials got involved before anything too serious could happen.

Winners: Authors of Pain


Natalya vs Billie Kay

Natalya looked to continue her dominance on NXT, but ran into a tough test in the form of Billie Kay. Kay, with fellow Australian Peyton Royce watching on, showed an impressive arsenal, picking up several near falls. However, the Queen of Harts is never to be counted out, and Natalya hung tough, delivering a big discus clothesline to get a hard-fought victory.

Winner: Natalya


Noam Dar(c) vs Neville- Cruiserweight Championship Match

Although there was some bad blood between these two, it was mostly a highly competitive, very entertaining championship match. Early on, it was very much a battle of wills, neither man backing down nor getting the advantage. Noam Dar showed off some impressive offense, taking some big risks that we hadn't seen him take before. This strategy worked very well, and allowed Dar to lock in quite a few of his submission holds. The Scottish Supernova stayed in control, but he just couldn't get Neville to submit. The King of the Cruiserweights was a man on a mission, and he finally scored with an inverted frankensteiner. The Red Arrow was delivered perfectly, and the King reigned once more.

Winner and the NEW Cruiserweight Champion: Neville

Latest Update on new puppy

As you may well know from my mom's posts, there is a handsome puppy in the house. His name is Rascal, which appropriately fits him. Before Tuesday, he'd never had much problem with the crate, something I found interesting. He'd also never experienced anxiety issues when people came and left. Then yesterday, my dad and I were standing in the driveway organizing things for a trip to Goodwill. All of a sudden, Rascal freaked out. Some history behind the newest member of our family. Rascal was a stray in Hollister, when CARE, a rescue organization, found him. At this time Rascal was estimated to be about 2 months old, the age of a puppy when you first get them. He went to another family, who had him for quite a while, around 5 months. Then, without explanation, this family moved to Ohio, surrendering Rascal. CARE once again had him and his crazy antics for about a month. Rascal's name was changed to Boots in his time with CARE, but he wouldn't answer to that name. He ...

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 ...
