Behind the Universe Mode #4: The Future

Hey everyone, it's Henry. I apologize for the lack of communication from me recently about my Universe Mode content. A lot of my shows have been going up on the wrong date, been abnormally short or straight up cancelled. While you could probably guess why this has been happening, it'll be better if I lay it out myself. So here goes. On August 20th, 2017, Henry's Universe Mode will officially come to an end. It's been a hell of a ride, and this decision is among the most difficult I've ever made for this blog. The Summerslam pay-per-view will mark the end to over a year and a half of content. For those who enjoy my Universe Mode posts, this isn't a huge cause for concern. I will be back later in the year with a brand new project, one that I'm very excited about and I've been planning for awhile. If you want the explanation of why this decision has been made, it's actually quite simple. I just don't enjoy making Henry's Universe Mode anym...

Behind the Universe #3: The End of an Era

Last night at WrestleMania, we witnessed an incredible show. On this episode of Behind the Universe, I will make some big announcements about my Universe Mode, done out of kayfabe. This is a big post, so I hope you're ready. First up, WrestleMania marked the end of Season 2 of Henry's Universe Mode. With some huge changes in store, it was time to start anew, and that begins next Monday on Raw, for the start of Season 3. What are those changes? Let's run them down. Season 3 Changes -First of all, all "titles" in Henry's Universe Mode have been officially re-branded to "championships". I think this just sounds a lot better, and gives a more official feel to the belts themselves. However, all matches for said belts will still be referred to as "title matches". -I've copied a lot of real-life WWE into Universe Mode for Season 3. All shows now feature the real-life sets, and the pay-per-view schedule has also been mirrored (Sm...

Behind the Universe #2: Elimination Chamber Fallout

In the second episode of Behind the Universe, I talk fallout from Elimination Chamber, WrestleMania plans and one of the greatest matches in Henry's Universe Mode history. Warning: The following is done completely out of character and out of kayfabe. Because of this, there will be massive spoilers up ahead. Just looking out. My Thoughts - I was a little nervous heading in, but Elimination Chamber turned out to be a pretty great event. The two Chamber matches were very fun to write, and then there was that triple threat SmackDown Women's Title match. - Let's talk about that match for a second. Never in my wildest dreams did I see that one coming. Paige's ridiculous run as champ finally came to an end at the hands of Alexa Bliss, in one hell of grueling match. Just for comparisons, that match clocked in at just over 22 minutes. The two Chamber matches finished between 16-18 minutes each. Just amazing.  - Overall, I feel the Road to WrestleMania i...

Behind the Universe #1: The Introduction

Hey guys, welcome to a new series here on my blog. In this series, I take a behind-the-scenes look at my Universe Mode, which is now well over a hundred posts. I'll take about upcoming matches, my thoughts on certain developments and the future of the series as a whole. Enjoy! Warning: The following is done completely out of character and out of kayfabe. Because of this, there will be massive spoilers up ahead. Just looking out. My Thoughts - I'd like to start by saying that this series has been an absolute pleasure to write. I feel that at the moment, my content is the best it ever has been, and I've been very, very pleased with everything. My Universe Mode wiki is looking very good(and will be updated soon), and the posts themselves seem to be doing very well. There are very few things I would change in this regard. - I very much like the current show structure. Three shows a week is perfect, and has made this series feel a lot less like a chore. I've a...
