The Revolution: Episode 6(Strong Style)

On this episode of The Revolution, the quarter-finals of the NXT Championship Tournament begin. Roman Reigns and Cesaro meet in an eagerly anticipated contest, while AJ Styles battles Roderick Strong in our main event.






 Roman Reigns vs Cesaro- NXT Championship Tournament Quarter-Finals Match

An early test of strength between these two men proved nothing, as both are among the most powerful NXT has to offer. Instead, they worked a very physical, hard-hitting match, taking lumps out of each other the whole way. Cesaro showed a more desperate approach, as without Sheamus by his side, he seemed very concerned he wouldn't be able to get the job done. He went for covers after every big move, not getting too much in the way of counts, although he did get a close near fall off of an impressive trio of gutwrench suplexes. Roman Reigns was more patient, conserving his energy and waiting for his opportunity. He was able to connect with his slick sit-out cruicifix powerbomb, and the chance was now there. Vicious Spear to the midsection, but it was perhaps too early, as Cesaro was able to kick out at two. The "Swiss Superman" showed us all what he's capable of, dropping Reigns with a dropkick before taking to the skies to deliver a top rope double axe handle! Sharpshooter applied, but Roman was able to fight to the ropes. What he couldn't escape was the Neutralizer, right in the middle of the ring! One......two........but Reigns got his shoulder up. Who was going to hit the next big move? The answer was Reigns, with a superman punch that busted Cesaro open. To the corner, measuring his man....


But countered! Cesaro countered the Spear attempt with a DDT! A stunned Reigns was completely out of it....

Winner: Cesaro
Finish: Neutralizer



 AJ Styles vs Roderick Strong- NXT Championship Tournament Quarter-Finals Match

AJ Styles was very confident entering this match, but his confidence was diminished almost immediately, as Strong quickly stunned him with an enziguri. From there, it was all Roddy, as Strong dominated the match, putting AJ on the defensive. The big moves connected early, as Strong nearly advanced following a deadlift back suplex and then again got a near fall off of a ridiculous top rope back breaker, smashing AJ's spine into the top turnbuckle. Styles used his speed and agility to try and stay ahead, getting close with his own enziguri and a pele kick. It all seemed to be for naught, as an attempted springboard moonsault put him right in position for the End of Heartache. Unlike the first round, Strong capitalized on the move with a cover, but Styles just survived, as he intelligently got his foot to the bottom rope. A second End of Heartache was signaled, but in an incredible feat of agility, AJ managed to land on his feet to counter the move. A blitz of forearms and kicks awaited Strong, who was floored with a clothesline. AJ climbed to the top rope, and reached deep into his arsenal, pulling out the Spiral Tap! The fans at Full Sail were going wild, and there was one last big move left....

Winner: AJ Styles
Finish: Styles Clash

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...
