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

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...

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!

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...
