The Revolution Has Begun

"You've seen us in many forms through the years. You've seen the talent we produced, and the stars that we created. You've cheered our heroes, and booed our villains, and cared about our stories. You've seen us rise and fall, persevere through adversary and come back from the brink. But what if I told you that what you've seen, what you've experienced was only the beginning, the start of the tale. What if I told you there was more to our story, much, much more. What if I told you that we had the power to take over the world, to be the kings. Would you believe me? Welcome to our Revolution. Welcome to N..........X............T!" - Triple H, Owner, Operator and Creator of NXT






With that very grandiose(and very fictional) intro, I will now welcome you to The Revolution, the newest Universe Mode series on my blog. If you read my post back in October where I discussed my plans for WWE 2k18, then you already know what this is. However, if you didn't see that at the time or are interested in the particular details of this series, then this is the post for you. Today, I will break down what The Revolution is, when it begins and what it will entail. Hopefully you guys are as excited as I am for this new series to begin; it's been a long time coming.



What is The Revolution?

To put it simply, this is an all-NXT Universe Mode, existing in a universe where WWE's current developmental territory has become its own independent promotion. For the most part, the roster I will be using for this series is made up of current or former NXT talent, with a few exceptions. So, guys like John Cena, Randy Orton or The Rock will not appear at all. To go behind the scenes, I first thought of the idea of doing this series in April, following WrestleMania, which was when Henry's Universe Mode was originally supposed to end. It was then supposed to begin following Summerslam, but was delayed once more. It's taken a long time, far longer than I ever anticipated, but The Revolution is finally off the ground. As for the name, I just didn't think "NXT Universe Mode" was suitable, so I came up with something that sounded a little more official.


What is the schedule for The Revolution?

I'm anticipating that the first post of the series will go up next Tuesday, January 16th. My aim is to post at least two episodes a week of this series, although it might be more or less frequent depending on how well it's received.


What will the first post(s) of The Revolution look like?

I'll be mostly following the same format for posts of this series as Henry's Universe Mode, with around five segments per post. We will be starting off with a 16-man, single-elimination tournament to crown the first NXT Champion of The Revolution. If you're interested, you can find the first round bracket here. Throughout most of the build to our first Takeover show, this tournament and the stories that are created out of it, will get the entire focus. After the first champion is crowned, I will then branch out into a more traditional Universe Mode style.




I think that's it for now. I'm sure there will be more information to provide in the future, but that's about all I'm going to be including in this post, so as not to completely confuse everyone. See you again on the 16th, when The Revolution will finally begin.

Henry's Universe Mode #120: Raw

With Fastlane just under two weeks away, we have a big night in store here on Raw. Sasha Banks looks to earn another title shot, the tag champs are in non-title action and in the main event, for the first time since winning the Royal Rumble, Samoa Joe is in action when he faces Mark Henry. Universe Mode Monday Night Raw February 20th, 2017 Location: Anchorage, AK Itami and Balor vs #DIY The tag champs were in action to open Raw, and their opponents were the debuting Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa, #DIY.

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 ...
