Aleister Black vs Eric Young

This was a dominant performance from the Anti-Hero, Aleister Black, who showed off his impressive arsenal of strikes and suplexes. Eric Young never really had a chance to get into this match, and soon he was only fighting just to survive. The result was inevitable, with the Black Mass connecting not once but twice, knocking EY clean out.

Winner: Aleister Black


A Chat

Backstage, we saw Adam Cole enter the office of William Regal. After an impressive win over Apollo Crews last week, it was clear that Cole is looking for another shot at Hideo Itami, but will he get it?


Andrade Almas vs Noam Dar

The psychology of the Scottish Supernova Noam Dar in this match was off the charts, as he went to work on the right knee of Andrade Almas right from the start. Throughout the match, Dar would continue to work on the knee, including with a nasty low dropkick. In the end, he got that Champagne Superkneebar locked in, and Almas tapped out.

Winner: Noam Dar


Ember Moon vs Nikki Cross

We saw the confrontation between these two women last week, and we would get the match this week. The former champion Ember Moon seemed obsessed with sending a statement to Natalya, and we saw her more violent side come out in this match. It was more to her detriment though, as the more vicious style suited the female leader of Sanity, as Cross got the win with a Samoan Driver.

Afterward, Natalya entered the ring, talking some trash to Ember Moon about her loss. As she was doing this, she was attacked from behind by Nikki Cross, who sent her own message as she took hold of the NXT Women's Championship.

Winner: Nikki Cross


An Ambush

We then saw Adam Cole emerge from Regal's office, smiling. He was then jumped by Apollo Crews, who screamed obscenities at him. Cole showed up Apollo last week, and he was made to pay for it, as it took several officials to drag Crews away.


Kassius Ohno vs Killian Dain

This was a massive main event in more ways than one, as these two vicious brawlers put on a match that more resembled a bar fight. Kassius Ohno utilized his brutal strikes and surprising agility throughout the match, but although his offense was flashy, it didn't get the job done. Killian Dain was more straight-forward, using his size to wear Ohno down. In what could be considered an upset, the Beast of Belfast survived long enough to connect with the Ulster Plantation to get the three count.

As Killian Dain celebrated his big win, the other two members of Sanity joined him in the ring. Young and Dain joined together to lay an extra beatdown on Kassius Ohno. The music of Hideo Itami then hit, and the NXT Champion charged the ring, laying out Young with a GTS to end this episode of NXT.

Winner: Killian Dain

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...
