The Revolution: Episode 3(The Destroyer)

The NXT Championship Tournament 1st Round continues on this episode of The Revolution, as Hideo Itami faces "The Sergeant" of the Wyatt Family, Luke Harper, plus "The Destroyer" Samoa Joe takes on Akira Tozawa.






Hideo Itami vs Luke Harper- NXT Championship Tournament 1st Round Match

Luke Harper was out here alone, and seemed ready to prove a point, as he jumped Hideo Itami before the bell could ring. After a brief brawl, both men re-entered the ring, and the match was officially underway. Early on, Itami scored with his nasty strikes and kicks, keeping Harper off balance. He stayed one step ahead, connecting with a hesitation dropkick in the corner for a near fall. The GTS was signaled, but Harper was one step ahead, countering with a knee to the skull of his own. He then rallied, hitting a few big rights and lefts and then a beautiful butterfly suplex for two. Big clothesline in the corner, right across the throat, and then the running big boot for another near fall. Harper looked for the discus clothesline but missed, and Hideo lit him up with a series of strikes and lariats. More chops to the chest, and a spin kick to the gut took Harper to the mat. The "Japanese Sensation" began to measure his man....

Winner: Hideo Itami
Finish: GTS



 Samoa Joe vs Akira Tozawa- NXT Championship Tournament 1st Round Match

Akira Tozawa was easily the biggest underdog in the first round matches according to the oddsmakers, who had Samoa Joe as the odds-on favorite to win the whole tournament. That made it even more shocking when Tozawa opened the match by dominating the bigger man. He showed off his impressive arsenal, hitting a big enziguiri, followed by a seated senton and an incredible deadlift german suplex for a narrow early near fall. Tozawa went to the middle rope, looking for an elbow drop, but Joe was quick to his feet, turning the momentum around. Uppercut to the jaw, his own running senton and an exploder suplex for two. A Chimera-Plex was another near fall, but Joe got frustrated at the official's count, getting into a brief argument. This would open the door for Tozawa, who took full advantage. Kick to the leg, shining wizard! Up to the top, and Akira launched himself, crashing down onto "The Destroyer" with another senton. One....two.....but an emphatic kick out right before three. Tozawa was crushed, but knew he needed to stay focused. He measured for his snap german suplex.....but Joe countered! Into the corner, and followed up with the CCS enziguiri. Tozawa stumbled right into a big powerbomb, folded right into a deep double leg boston crab. Showing the heart of a warrior, Akira survived, managing to escape but looking like he was in a lot of pain. There was only one way this was going to end....

Winner: Samoa Joe
Finish: Coquina Clutch

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 ...
