Blog Update- March 2021

 A few updates to share today as we move into what should hopefully be a bit more of a relaxing month than the last. First of all, I'm going to be busy the next few days, dealing with an issue that means I won't be able to put up a post here until probably around the 15th. After that, the plan is still to review WrestleMania 19, at which point I would have a lot of options over what to do next. The WWE Network's transition onto Peacock will not include the pay-per-view back catalog, at least to start, so I couldn't continue reviewing 2003 shows even if I wanted to, nor could I try out my other idea of circling back to cover shows I've skipped along my journey through WWE history. That sucks, but it is what it is, nothing I can do about it. 


With that in mind, I have a few different ideas for some new reviews. I think I'm likely going to try several things, with probably starts with AEW, I'd like to at least get to cover some episodes of Dynamite to see how I feel about their weekly product. If that doesn't jell with me, the next option would be heading oversees to watch some New Japan, starting from their first Wrestle Kingdom show. I've been leery about reviewing international wrestling on this blog, I don't know how much interest there would be, but the only way to find out would be to try. And if all else fails, there's always TNA/Impact Wrestling, I enjoyed the eight pay-per-views I reviewed of them, even if the shows themselves weren't exactly top notch. 


I think this is a solid roadmap for the next month or so, and I've also toyed with the option of mixing some Universe Mode content in with the reviews, to have multiple projects going at once so I don't burn out on one or the other. We'll see if that happens, but the clear point here is that I have no shortage of ideas right now, which is always a good thing. Hopefully I should be set for the remainder of March, I'll see you again soon for WrestleMania 19.

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. ...
