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

Latest Update on new puppy

As you may well know from my mom's posts, there is a handsome puppy in the house. His name is Rascal, which appropriately fits him. Before Tuesday, he'd never had much problem with the crate, something I found interesting. He'd also never experienced anxiety issues when people came and left. Then yesterday, my dad and I were standing in the driveway organizing things for a trip to Goodwill. All of a sudden, Rascal freaked out. Some history behind the newest member of our family. Rascal was a stray in Hollister, when CARE, a rescue organization, found him. At this time Rascal was estimated to be about 2 months old, the age of a puppy when you first get them. He went to another family, who had him for quite a while, around 5 months. Then, without explanation, this family moved to Ohio, surrendering Rascal. CARE once again had him and his crazy antics for about a month. Rascal's name was changed to Boots in his time with CARE, but he wouldn't answer to that name. He ...

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 ...
