Addendum on My Pay-Per-View Reviews

 I realize I've already written a blog update just a few days ago, but I have more to say and I want to clue you in, so thus, this is basically a part two to that. In that update, I mentioned that I was considering between doing reviews for AEW, New Japan and Impact, to cover for the loss of the WWE Network library. At the end of yesterday's WrestleMania 19 review, I said I was moving forward covering AEW, starting back up at Fyter Fest, and so I've been watching the episodes of BTE and Road to... for that show, in addition to starting to watch the Buy In for it's own review. 


I've gotta be honest, I'm not really feeling it. Something about AEW's style of comedy and wrestling just doesn't appeal to me, at least not right now, but my bigger issue is with their distributor, Bleacher Report Live. The platform is just a mess, it gave me a massive headache during my Double or Nothing review after I closed my browser mid-playback, which resulted in me struggling to get it working again for over half an hour. I just have no desire to use such a broken system, especially in the era of accessible streaming services. I would like to give the company a chance, but under this current set-up, I honestly don't think it's worth the hassle. 


With that in mind, I think I want to set AEW aside for now and try some New Japan reviews, to see what the interest level might be. I'm not anything close to an expert on the company, and there could be several hurdles to deal with, from the language barrier to the lack of matches for shows from the time period I intend to start from, Wrestle Kingdom 1 in 2007. I have a pretty cut and paste formula for my WWE reviews by this point, and this would likely require some alterations to my presentation, which is a little uncomfortable. Still, I think there's a really good chance that this could be a fun exploration into a foreign world for me, and I hope you're ready to come along for the ride. See you soon.

Henry's Universe Mode #209: No Mercy(Part 1)

What does it take to be the best? It's a question that's been asked many times, by many people. To many, the answer is complicated; tonight, it is quite simple. Lay it all on the line, not for yourself but in pursuit of something. Settle your scores by defeating your opponent, as decisively as possible. Be ready for any opportunity that presents itself, because it might be your only chance. And above all else, show.....no......mercy. And now, Raw and SmackDown present.....................No Mercy!

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...
