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

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...
