Henry's World

You know things are getting serious when the Princeton offense is in the title, and even more serious when a basketball invades a party. Seriously, you guys didn't have a beachball to toss around while chanting for CM Punk? F***ing amateurs. Let's start with Tyrone, who still kinds feels like he's off in B-plot land. After a conversation with Detective O'Reilly, Tyrone focuses his attention on the state championship game, with his story taking a bit of a lighter tone. Of course, he also ends up discovering that one of Billy's old friends is partners in the drug trade with Detective Connors, because this show is bleak. He's also progressing his relationship with Evita, and I'll give them a less than zero percent chance of surviving the next few episodes. After noticing some racial/social injustice during the game, Tyrone throws the game, almost literally, showing that he does have a sense of honor. His powers also run haywire throughout, causing all ki...

2017 was a big year for Henry's Universe Mode, and as we move forward into 2018, we have one final stop to make. Here is the card for Armageddon, the final pay-per-view of the year. Armageddon Card Nia Jax(c) vs Bayley- SmackDown Women's Championship Match On the SmackDown Live before Survivor Series, Nia Jax once again defeated Alexa Bliss in Bliss' rematch clause, winning again in mere minutes. Jax is eager to take full control of SmackDown's women's division, and demanded more competition. She'll get it in the form of the Triple Crown champion, Bayley, who has the fans on her side as she looks to add another championship to her collection. Shinsuke Nakamura(c) vs Dolph Ziggler- United States Championship Match Tensions between Shinsuke Nakamura and Dolph Ziggler escalated at Survivor Series, and have continued in the weeks following. On an episode of Raw a few weeks ago, the two men interrupted an address from Shane McMahon, leading to a furi...

In Part 2 of 2018's Survivor Series, the WWE and Universal Championships are both on the line, and Team Raw faces Team SmackDown. Finn Balor(c) vs Samoa Joe vs Braun Strowman- Universal Championship Match Samoa Joe was a house of fire early, as he was incredibly fresh, having not competed in a match since September. After taking out Finn Balor with a german suplex, Joe turned his attention to Braun Strowman, hitting an impressive series of strikes. None of this did much to faze Strowman, as he easily lifted up Joe with a gorilla press before slamming him back down. Balor returned armed with a steel chair and shifted the momentum in his favor, getting a couple near falls on Strowman with a reverse DDT and the shotgun dropkick. Braun would take Finn out with a right hand, looking twice for the running powerslam on Joe, but The Destroyer was a step too fast. After escaping the second powerslam attempt, Samoa Joe locked in the Coquina Clutch! The deadly hold was broken up by t...

Tradition is everything. In the WWE, a new tradition was started on November 26th, 1987, with the very first Survivor Series event. On that night, fans witnessed legends like Jake Roberts, Randy Savage, Ricky Steamboat, Harley Race, Andre the Giant and Hulk Hogan collide in titanic battles, and a new yearly tradition was born. Now, each year, the tradition continues, as legends of yesteryear and superstars of the future collide in combat, each hoping to be the last man standing. Tonight, Raw and SmackDown face off for brand supremacy, with the winning team earning their brand the number 30 spot in the Royal Rumble. Both world championships are on the line, and the card is stacked. Tradition is everything, and perhaps someday, we will honor this night in the same way we did the one over 3 decades ago. And now, Raw and SmackDown present.............Survivor Series! Universe Mode Survivor Series November 26th, 2017 Location: Miami, FL Official Survivor Series Theme...

Hey, the two main characters actually spend some time together this week. Hooray! I mean, their conversation did end with one of them daring the other to kill herself, but it's progress. But damn, this show is dark, and getting even darker. Picking up where last week left off, we see Tandy and Tyrone having their first proper conversation, in the church where Tandy takes drugs and chills in a hoodie. In a unique twist, this whole conversation is a framing device for the entire episode, with splices of the conversation popping up here and there through the hour. Right from the start, the chemistry between these two is obvious, and the amount of time the show has spent setting the two characters up pays off. There's some enjoyable banter back and forth, and some nice references to their first meeting, but you can tell that there's a bit more of a bond forming. Tandy and Tyrone have found a connection in each other, someone who understands their pain and feels just as l...
