A Classic Pro Wrestling Betrayal

Guys, I think I might be turning into Terry Funk. By that I mean constantly going back on my word, not getting blown up by landmines. At the very least, I'm not turning into Shawn Michaels, unretiring simply because I got offered a blank check. And before you ask, Prince bin Salman is just a personal friend who offered me a loan, nothing suspicious about that.




Yeah, Henry's Universe Mode is coming back. You probably guessed where I was going with that terrible stand-up routine, so I might as well get to the point. I gave an honest effort to make a different series work, but the issues I faced making the first point of The Revolution completely soured me on that series. It's easier to go back to what I know and try to make improvements rather than start something new from the ground up. HUM really struggled near the end last time, and then when I tried to transition into weekly shows, everything fell apart. Now, with a month or two off, I'm ready to give it another try. I want to keep it low scale, low pressure, with smaller more attainable goals, which should help me a ton. For now, I plan to go pay-per-view only to Summerslam, which should hopefully take up the rest of July and August. Once football season starts, I'll continue to post pay-per-views, this time corresponding with their date in universe, all the way until the end of the year. From that point, I'll have to consider what I want to do in 2020, but that's a long way off, so I'm not going to worry about it.



I know it's kind of step back for me, but it's what I need. I tried, I really did, to get into posting The Revolution, but between technical difficulties and a lack of interest on my part, it just didn't work. I apologize, and I wish I could promise this is the last time I change my mind, but that's not something I feel comfortable guaranteeing. What I can guarantee is that I am excited to get back into posting Henry's Universe Mode, and I will start posting it next week. There will be some differences between the new content and what I posted before, so be prepared for that. I hope you'll join me when Henry's Universe Mode starts back up again, although I wouldn't blame you if you didn't. This is the choice I wanted to make and one I feel happy with, so I think that should make my content better. With all my fingers crossed, this should hopefully make the rest of the year easy sailing.

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...
