Cedric Alexander vs Drew Gulak vs Mustafa Ali vs Oney Lorcan- Cruiserweight Championship Match

Cedric Alexander and Mustafa Ali provided a lot of the highlights for this match, both getting close to claiming the championship. Oney Lorcan got a couple of near falls as well, and he managed to clear the ring of Alexander and Ali. But it was Drew Gulak who took advantage of the opportunity, smoothly applying the Dragon Sleeper to Lorcan, who tapped just moments before Alexander could make the save. 

Winner and the NEW Cruiserweight Champion: Drew Gulak


Hideo Itami vs Velveteen Dream

Hideo Itami was determined to use his lethal strikes to lay waste to NXT's newest phenom, the Velveteen Dream. But the Dream walked the walk on this night, picking up a huge win over the former NXT Champion with a Purple Rainmaker. 

Winner: Velveteen Dream


The Undisputed Era(c) vs The Ascension- NXT Tag Team Championship Match

This was a battle of styles, as the strikes and submissions of Kyle O'Reilly and Bobby Fish clashed with the power of Konnor and Viktor. The Ascension received a major assist, as during the match, SAnitY arrived to pick a fight with the champions. Distracted, O'Reilly fell prey to the Fall of Man, crowning new champions and adding fire to the feud between these two factions. 

Winners and the NEW NXT Tag Team Champions: The Ascension


Carmella(c) vs Toni Storm- NXT Women's Championship Match

Carmella was forced to defend her championship against the woman with more momentum than any on NXT, Toni Storm. The intelligence of the champion kept her alive, as Storm Zero connected but Carmella found the bottom rope. The Princess of the Staten Island went to every cheap trick in the book, eye gouging and choking Storm, before applying the Code of Silence. But Toni persevered, hitting another Storm Zero to finally claim the championship. 

Winner and the NEW NXT Women's Champion: Toni Storm


Apollo Crews(c) vs Lars Sullivan- NXT Championship Match

Most of Apollo Crews' power was negated in this match as he faced the behemoth known as Lars Sullivan. With three new champions crowned tonight, Sullivan looked to be the fourth, slowly taking Crews apart. Crews looked to take the fight to the outside, but that proved to be a mistake, as Sullivan was able to connect with the Freak Accident on the floor. But the challenger was far from finished, as he was determined to take the champion out for good. Lars looked for another Freak Accident, but Apollo countered. In an unbelievable feat of strength, Apollo lifted Lars over his head, and dropped him down with a Gorilla Press slam! Then he followed it up with a beautiful standing moonsault, but was too exhausted to make the cover. Both men battled to a standing position, as Sullivan opened Crews up with multiple right hands. In a last gasp, Crews shocked Sullivan and everyone in Chicago, rolling up the challenger with a small package, and stealing the win!

Winner and still NXT Champion: Apollo Crews

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 ...

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. ...
