Henry's Universe Mode #229: WrestleMania II (Part 1)

It all starts with a dream; one born in their backyards, in their fantasies and in their sleep. For most, it will never be more than that; just a dream, never to be realized, never to be recognized. But for a few, they can receive a chance, sometimes just once, to make their dreams something more than that. This is what WrestleMania represents. To be in the spotlight, to be remembered, to be revered, but more importantly, to fight for your dreams. Because dreams are fleeting, and opportunity is scarce. Before you know it, dreams are dust.


This is the grandeur, this is the glory, this is the spectacle of the greatest wrestling show in the world, never to be beaten, never to be replicated. Welcome to the Show of Shows, welcome to the Showcase of the Immortals, welcome to the Grandaddy of Them All. Welcome to WrestleMania.

The Shield(c) vs The New Day- Raw Tag Team Championship Match

It was Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins who were charged with defending the tag belts, which left a clearly unhappy Roman Reigns to patrol outside the ring. Early on, this was a chaotic, frenzied affair, but it would eventually come down to Dean Ambrose and Kofi Kingston, who wrestled the bulk of this contest. After rolling out of the way of the Boom Drop, Ambrose connected with Dirty Deeds! 1..............2.................but Kofi survived, and the crowd exploded! With Orlando beginning to rally, The Shield saw their dominant title reign begin to slip away. Reigns tried his best to get involved, as did Rollins, but in the end, the heart of Kofi Kingston was too much. Trouble in Paradise to Dean Ambrose! Big E takes down Rollins with a Spear! The cover................1................2...................3! We open WrestleMania with new champions!

Nia Jax(c) vs Beth Phoenix- SmackDown Women's Championship Match

It was a treat to see Beth Phoenix back in the ring, and the Glamazon did not miss a beat, looking like her old self. Unfortunately, she, like every challenger before her, just couldn't compete with Nia Jax. Beth gave it her best shot, kicking out of a Samoan Drop and even hitting a few big power moves. In the end, she couldn't hit the Glam Slam, and Nia delivered the big leg drop to earn her biggest win yet.

Winner and still SmackDown Women's Champion: Nia Jax


Shinsuke Nakamura(c) vs Tommaso Ciampa- United States Championship Match

Tommaso Ciampa had one thing in mind, and that was to cause as much pain to Shinsuke Nakamura as he possibly could. He did that in spades, as Shinsuke was once more busted open, as Tommaso delivered knee after knee to the head. Nakamura threw everything he possibly could at the Blackheart, but Ciampa was unrelenting. The biggest highlight for the King of Strong Style in this match was his incredible kick-out of the Project Ciampa, but even that wasn't enough. Tommaso Ciampa delivered two sliding knee strikes, leaving Shinsuke Nakamura out cold and covered with blood. Then, for no other reason than because he felt like it, Ciampa delivered a third and made a lazy cover, as an unconscious Nakamura stood no chance of a kick out. The Psycho Killer is now champion, and he's left a trail of broken bodies in his wake.

Winner and the NEW United States Champion: Tommaso Ciampa


The Miz vs Daniel Bryan

Both men were alone, a much bigger move for The Miz, who normally has his wife Maryse at ringside, but he was determined to settle this one on one. After an exchange of holds, Miz took control, focusing on the surgically repaired neck of Bryan. Bryan wrestled his way back up, and both men exchanged dropkicks, which Bryan got the most of. The Miz rolled to the outside, but the A-List Superstar was far from safe, as Daniel took flight, taking him out with a suicide dive. Back inside the ring, flying headbutt, as the Leader of the Yes Movement tried to set up the running knee. Miz countered, and delivered a running knee of his own! Bryan took the contact, bounced off the ropes and hit Miz with a running knee, and both men were down! After both slowly rose to their feet, an exchange of kicks soon followed, with the Orlando crowd firmly on Bryan's side. But The Miz was one step ahead, countering a kick and locking in the Figure 4! Time stood still as Miz fought desperately to get the tap, but if anyone could escape a submission, it would be Daniel Bryan. Bryan, and locked in the Yes Lock! Was Daniel Bryan about to get a huge win and save his job? No, Miz fought to get to the bottom rope. After a brief scramble on the ground, The Miz reached deep into his bag of tricks, scoring an eye poke and then hitting the Skull Crushing Finale! Miz was victorious!- no, no, Bryan kicked out at two. On it went, both men jaw jacking each other in the center of the ring. It would be a replay of their confrontation on SmackDown, as Bryan kicked Miz right in the jaw, knocking him down! Daniel Bryan slowly back up, as the Yes! chants filled the arena.............running knee! 1....................2....................3!

Winner: Daniel Bryan

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...
