Spoiler Storyline

7/19/2014 11:56:11 AM

As I looked forward to the Battleground, I saw this video circulated over the internet.

And aside from that, Amazon just published the poster. And other sites followed suit.

Now it’s time to join that kind of bandwagon though. Well, just to put my takes on this potential championship match.

Yes, Brock Lesnar will be returning for SummerSlam, and his next target is John Cena. Say, that makes me wonder though, I thought when Lesnar returned anew to WWE earlier this year, he wasn’t going to settle score.

Hey, it doesn’t looked one anyway. It’s been two years since Lesnar faced the Cenation leader in the Extreme Rules match in 2012 wherein the West Newbury native withstand the pain and aggression brought by the multi-sport personality on him.

And I think, the Cena-Lesnar feud triggered another storyline which is better known as the “Triple H versus Brock Lesnar” story (you know those arm-breaking scuffles by the Minneapolis, Minnesota native on the WWE COO, as well as Shawn Michaels, and even a bone-splintering F5 on Vince MacMahon). It was a personified feud that exceed the extremities to the extent they slugged each other again in a No Hold Barred Match on WrestleMania 29, and at the Steel Cage Match of the 2013 Extreme Rules.

After their tale, Lesnar has been feuding with others, with one notable includes CM Punk, after Punk turned his back over the Hustler.

But since his return to the canvas for the nth time, I thought he’s up for the championship which was then-held by Randy Orton. Instead is immediate off-the-squared-circle target was Mark Henry, and instead viciously had a melee with the Big Show at the Royal Rumble. However, though the ex-UFC heavyweight champ shown totality over them, the portrayal turned out to be a bust.

Plus, I think he just gone dismayed for not earning a title shot.

But again, his name made it to the households after defeating the Undertaker and his epic 21-year winning WM run. It was indeed a loss that shocked the world, whether they’re old school fans or just plain newbies.

Since taking some hiatus, the Paul Heyman guy turned out to be Cesaro. Now, when he’s back, the question: will the five-languaged wrestler still remain for the heel manager, or would it be the other way around? Looks like a new twist may possibly unveil.

Plus, it was supposed to be Daniel Byran whom will face the Beast Incarnate. But due to injury, the Authority stripped his title. But on a second, dirtier, mind-run, it looked like they just passed the platter to the Cenation leader.

However again, what if Roman Reigns spoiled the plotlines by taking that title? Looks like it’s a heavyweight shit at all! The problem though is that even if Reigns, a former member of the SHIELD, is a legitimate juggernaut, looks like he will have a long way to grasp over that arm-breaking dude. It’s like, if Reigns was a “major pain” (with no intentions to take the title away from Eric Menk per se), Lesnar was more than that—he’s a goddamn nerve-wracking beast, like the way he used to advocate when he returned to WWE: return legitimacy.

But let’s go back to the supposed-to-be storyline. Looks like another one-sided affair will be on SummerSlam again.

Just My Opinion: WWE Money in the Bank 2014

7/12/2014 9:49:12 AM

I can only say nothing but few words for the last WWE pay-per-view event titled “Money in the Bank” ­— it’s really worth the “money!”

A lot of blockbuster-hyped match lived up to its expectations, with two ladder matches containing respective prizes at stake: one is for the Money In The Bank contract (which guarantees him for a contender spot for the big one), and the other is for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

The only thing that sucks though is the theme used for the PPV offering. They’re better off playing it as their music bed. But if you’re gonna dig that up on YouTube, nah.

Match of the Year?! #4 — Jimmy and Jey (The Usos) vs. Erick Rowan and Luke Harper (The Wyatt Family)

www.cagesideseats.com

Kick-off match were entertaining as always, and the tag-team scuffle between the Usos and the Wyatt Family was just as sick as shit. Everyone showed their promises, and either Jimmy and Jey or Luke Harper and Erick Rowan deserved to win it all, plus the latter seemed to emerged anew in case Bray is not around.

I think the funny (and the same time, silliest) match of the night goes to the feud between love-triangle stars Lyla and Summer Rae—with Fandago, their interest, as the special referee. And at the end of the battle, one just went heartbroken and became the subject of memes.

Big E and Rusev clashed anew. However, the former-Bulgarian-slash-now-Russian brute proved to be too much. He’s damn on fire, that no one (unless somebody who’s even brute like Brock Lesnar; well, how I wish that will happen) can stop the freight crush train. It seems like almost every win Lana’s man got was from pulling his accolade submission maneuver. How tough was that?

And the irony, looks like Goldust is now winning with the unveiling of new tag team partner Stardust, against the badass combo of Ryback and Curtis Axel. Say, looks like its a story of overcoming a hump (though it's obvious who that bizarre guy really is).

Paige was successful in defending her Diva’s title against Naomi of the Funkadactyls, though I might want to take another look on it again, if there’s available segment to watch over the World Wide Web.

The MITB match seemed to be impressive. Well, almost the best of the night, until Kane came out of nowhere and spoiled the party for Dean Ambrose who’s about to bag the briefcase. Seth Rollins won the game, and the jeers aired in the Garden could only do nothing to help their dismay. Still, what a match that was, especially everyone out there from Jack Swagger to Rob Van Dan to Kofi Kingston, to anyone who competed.

Match of the Year?! #5 — The Ladder Match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship (John Cena vs. Randy Orton vs. Bray Wyatt vs. Kane vs. Alberto del Rio vs. Cesaro vs. Sheamus vs. Roman Reigns)

WWE.com

And finally, for the unified titles (I wonder though if why the champion has to bring two belts if their called as one? Sickass ploy.), hey, what a goddamn scuffle; it’s really awesome! Everyone out there in Boston was treated to a real WWE PPV (aside from WrestleMania, of course!). It seems like everyone (though I’ll put Kane to an exception since he was just playing like a point guard — assisting somebody for their title shot) would have won the big one.

Look at that, Shaemus and Cesaro throwing blows on each other while hanging in the air and one hand’s holding on to the coveted belts. Good thing the string was strong enough to hold these two brutes. Seems like epic moment.

Plus, Randy Orton, though booed ‘cause he was the destined one by the authority, was just playing with a bit of extremities. He had a wound in his head by which 12 staples were needed to close and stop the bleeding. When was the last time we saw somebody in the WWE beaten to some kind of “bloody pulp?” Not even the present peeps could top that one, unless you’re Cena and Lesnar.

Cena won the title, and it appeared like he had done that easily. But I’ll say, not surprising on that. He lived in West Newbury (somewhere in Massachusetts, the state where Boston was located), what can you expect?

But… hey, that legitimize his status anew as one of the recent WWE greats.

However, I’d rather see him and Roman Reigns clashing for the title, instead though. Seriously, the latter have that huge future ahead of him. Much way ahead than what we saw previously on Cesaro and even Bray Wyatt.

But since it’s gonna be a fatal-four way battle in the next PPV Battleground, expect another warfare ahead.

Shield's Break-up: Battle of Emerging Hounds

06/23/14 11:47:40 AM

So, this group had their worst moment recently — having a break-up with each other. Which makes me think of this question: out of these three men, who will emerged the most?

First and foremost, though: Forgive me for doing this post if it sounds like a malanding fanboy.

Well, I'll just reiterate this: I'm not a huge fan of this former three-man faction in the recent WWE events known as The SHIELD. In fact, when I started watching them in almost all the WWE shows for the recent few months, I hated them along with the Wyatt family, also a trio heel crew in current pro wrestling scene.

But even if they were heels, I noticed something that can be really a big star in the World Wrestling Entertainment: I'm talking about Roman Reigns.

The wrestler Reigns (his stage name), was apparently a Samoan, one of the race of wrestlers whom dominated the pro wrestling scene for decades, including the lateYokozuna, Rikishi, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson (yes, folks; he has that kind of blood FYI), Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka; and on the modern era, Snuka's daughter Tamina, and Rikishi's sons Jimmy and Jey Uso.

I started noticing Reigns' individual dominance on the WWE main roster even during those days with the so-called Hounds of Justice. Along with fellow Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW)-slash-WWE NXT stars Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose, The Shield was overpowering everyone, no matter how badass or fierce their counterparts are.

But it was more evident during the 2014 Royal Rumble at Philadelphia. Reigns overthrown Kane's previous records for most beaten opponents in that 30-man over-the-top battle royale, and he could even set some more when he faced the then-returning Batista for that bragging right to headline WrestleMania.

His loss seemed to be his major achievement though, as despite his role (and their, as a group), people seemed to cheer on the big guy who usually unloads Samoan Drop, Spear, and Superman Punch as main weapons.

And his performance was more evident when he almost single-handedly defeat a trio of The New Age Outlaws and Kane in WrestleMania XXX held April 6 at the Mercedes Benz Superdome in New Orleans.

SHIELD had formally turned back when a four-on-four situation was slated at the final segment of April 7 RAW episode; thus signaling another era in the plot of the pro wrestling world, including the rebirth of Evolution (Triple H, Batista, and Randy Orton minus Ric Flair).

But after their second clash with Evolution on Payback, it was Seth Rollins who triggered the faction's surprisingly break-up (seems it was an “untimely” surprise since they were at the main limelight of the entire WWE lineup, and did not seemed to have any signs of negativity at all).

Now, is it time for Reigns to shine utmost? Definitely. I can foresee that he might end up winning the prized WWE World Heavyweight title at the Ladder Championship match of the upcoming Money in the Bank pay-per-view event (unless John Cena, Bray Wyatt, Randy Orton, and even.. uh?! Daniel Bryan?! will spoil the party).

However, as much as I don't appear like a spoiler (and besides, who cares? I don't even know what will comes next to their story at all), since Seth Rollins already named for the MTB contract match, I'm thinking he might win it all and another conspiracy theory-liked attack will be slated on the next PPV offering (though it's much better if it might take place at the SummerSlam or at the Night of Champions). Yes, there's chance a possible scenario might take place (remember Daniel Bryan, who just won over Cena at SummerSlam last year for the then-prestigious WWE Championship only to hand it over to Orton after cashing in to the game's referee, who happens to be Triple H, the COO of the WWE) and will draw another ire over WWE universe.

Amborse is no doubt, have a better future ahead. But out of three, it's gonna be clash for the standings between Reigns and Rollins. Unless, some creative peeps will pull a surprise twist which might changed our perceptions anew.

One thing is for sure though—you've got to BELIEVE IN THAT!

Warfare: SHIELD vs. EVOLUTION

6/14/2014 10:31:47 AM

http://www.nappyafro.com

Forgive me for posting this quite too late. To be honest with you folks, I never saw a lot of things coming following their another clash at Payback—that Seth Rollins already broke their trio up, leaving the Shield faction to only a tandem of Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns.

But I think WWE in 2014 will never be an epic year (as what Triple H declared on his year-ending mano-a-mano interview with Michael Cole over WWE.com) without their two-battled rivalry—and I am talking about the clash of the three-man factions: SHIELD versus EVOLUTION.

It all started during April 2014, exactly a night after WrestleMania was staged in the Big Easy. Daniel Bryan, the current WWE World Heavyweight Champion, was about to be assaulted in some kind of conspiracy fashion by the Authority (Triple H and Kane) and alongside heels Batista and Randy Orton (also, fellow headliners of WM XXX), when these trio came out of nowhere to neutralize the momentum. Hunter was in the middle of the ring to pacify the upcoming commotion.

But it was the Samoan-raced Reigns who initiated first blood on the rivalry. At the end of April 7 RAW episode, people witnessed the formal turning back of the Shield’s character. The moment only lasted for some time however, as Triple H rebuilt their alliance with Orton and Batista. Thus, Evolution had their second era; and they formally came to life (even if the pioneer Ric Flair was not part of their context anymore) and trashed the Rollins-Reigns-Ambrose union the next time around.

In the succeeding tapings, it was an all-out clash between them, leading into total humiliation for either group. And their formal tip-off was slated on Extreme Rules in New Jersey last May.

The clash, which is a regular three-man tag team match, resulted into a victory for the black vest suited men, after Reigns unleashed a sphere to Batista and set the pinfall on him.

Another insult to injury was during the RAW episode in late April where the “Nature Boy” Ric Flair appear before the Randy Orton-Roman Reigns card, and gave his blessing to the two-year faction. Yes, over his old damn group.

So, the first blood was on the Shield, and it came after a Seth Rollins highlighted jump. Yes, the architect jumped from the stands to destroy the HHH-Orton assault on Ambrose. Lots of “holy shit” chants rocked the iZod center, and several pro wrestling aficionados proclaimed their duel as the “match of the evening” and a potential 2014 “match of the year.”

The feud did not stopped from there however, as Hunter and company continued to ravaged their anger on the Shield once again, prompting a challenge on the latter’s part for Payback.

The second match turned out to be “no hold barred elimination” stipulation, and everything went out of proportion from the start, including another highlight reel from Rollins. As the Evolution was assaulting Reigns, the highflyer leaped from the top portion of one of those screens to neutralize another attack.

The result: Rollins pinned Batista; Ambrose pinned Orton; and Reigns took the pinfall victory at the expense of the WWE COO to set a complete sweep; all that despite a late cheap sphere by the Fil-Greek superstar.

As the (another) result: Batista expressed his total frustration over Hunter, but in a clean manner. After he was told that he could not earn a shot for the WWE World Heavyweight title anew, he uttered “I understand… and I quit.”

So, seems like everything’s short-lived for the man who portrayed Drax the Destroyer, eh? However, the Shield got the shocker of their own after Rollins formally turned his back over his group mates Reigns and Ambrose. Perhaps a lot of people already predicted their breakup, but maybe they did not see it coming in the middle of their rivalry.

Now, what’s next for both squads? The WWE storytellers can only have a hand on that.

Just My Opinion: WWE Payback 2014

6/7/2014 8:17:16 PM

Say, it’s been a very long while since we have seen a very nice pay-per-view (PPV) event from the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), considering that the previous PPVs turned out to be bust (with exception for the sports promotion’s flagship offering WrestleMania of course).

Look, TLC was half-good, but Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber were totally bad; and the latest edition of Extreme Rules came close to excellence.

But this year’s Payback? I can’t compare them to its previous editions, but it seems that all fights staged during that fateful Sunday evening of June 1^st, 2014 at the All-State Farm in Chicago were worthy at all. Well, they should be. Why? Two things:

• ‘Cause people, or should I say the WWE Universe, really bought tickets and subscription services to see an entertaining fight, if not an entertaining segment; and lastly… 

• It seems the WWE needs to regain themselves, especially financially-wise speaking. If all those business portal reports were true that WWE has been losing huge money for some time, the McMahons should do something else. Why? ‘Cause that what is “best for business.” Come to think that Vince McMahon just lost his title as “billionaire.”

Anyway, going back to the event, it seems the entire universe was totally entertained for all the cards slated during Sunday night, including the untelevised pre-event match between El Torrito and Hornswoggle. Yes, two midget wrestlers gong against each other. It looked like sickening in a deeper aspect, but hey, I think that’s better energizer factor for an action-packed offering.

Both Cesaro and Sheamus put up whatever they had, though no acts of hand-shaking took place after the fight. It’s more amusing to see the heel manager Paul Heyman shouting in disbelief; like “How dare you, Sheamus? How dare you!” I don’t know, maybe it’s because I just liked the idea of his acting, especially last year when CM Punk mauled him on top of the cell. Perfect.

I know, it might be a bit disappointing when Rob Van Dam lost to Bad News Barrett for the Intercontinental Championship. Sure, BNB was a bit less heck of a fighter than RVD. But as his saying goes, “I’m afraid I’ve got some bad news!” Bottom line: he was successful in his title defense. So, “thank you very much! Ha! Ha! Ha!” Talk about a good heel character, aye?  And I admired his “winds of change” more than his own “bull hammer.”

Maybe, the BIG E-Rusev fight was a dud at all. Forget the nationality-driven props. They failed to live to their expectations. The former IC champ seemed he lost his fighting swagger since losing the title to BNB last month, considering that they’re evenly matched against the former-Bulgarian-slash-now- Russian brute. He even had his own set of highlight reel, and was about to take control until the so-called “super athlete” unleashed a kick to his jaw that spelled Big E’s doom. Also, come to think that once Rusev unleashed his power, no one (I repeat: NO ONE) can stop him, aside from that hot chick called Lana. Oh, sorry, that’s “Ravishing Russian.”

Another buster was the tag-team clash between the Rhodes brothers and Rybaxel, just except for one sequence after their battle: the younger Rhodes seem to turn back on his older brother after numerous losses made his mounting frustration looms even further to its worst.

Moving on, how about the Alicia Fox versus Paige dispute for the Divas Championship? Well, the former’s tough, but the latter’s even tougher—and I’m pertaining to their physicality. The problem with their acting plot is the foxy lady’s got some mental flaws. The upside though is the lady champs hair. She just looked better, accompanied with that “Think Again” top.

Moment of the night goes to Brie Bella for slapping the WWE’s principal owner Stephanie McMahon. So, it was a heroic deed for a woman to sacrifice her job for her husband’s title, eh? Wait, Brie’s not fired. She just shouted “I QUIT” in front of Hunter’s wife. I call it a “highlight reel” though. And regardless of Daniel Bryan’s actions, there will always be words coming out from the authority’s respective mouths. Jerry “The King” Lawler was right—there’s definitely a repercussion for this one.

Since almost every match was worth it to be called as the “match of the night,” maybe I’ll give that distinction to the two main cards of Payback – the last man standing match and the no-hold barred elimination battle.

Seems like the universe is divided between John Cena and Bray Wyatt, eh? At least, the Cenation was not fighting alone during the night at all (it’s better to be put that way than seeing another 3-on-1 handicap atmosphere). But to answer questions whether if that would be the last of the potential trilogy between Wyatt and Cena? Well, that remains to be seen.

And everything between the Shield and Evolution just went totally ugly. They staged their fight on three separate areas around the fighting arena, causing cameras to move somewhere else and audience to pick where they will be peeking on. I guess, that’s the downside of it. But still, it remained awesome. Everyone had their own share of highlights.

But seeing another clash-between-factions for the next few weeks or so? I doubt it. Batista already left WWE via the latest episode of RAW, and Seth Rollins appear to turn his back on his group. All I can say though is that the plot thickens for the Hounds of Justice, considering that they were on this kind of page a few months ago.

Overall, it was a damn violent night. Yes, violent-but-exciting.

Just My Opinion: WrestleMania XXX – Supreme Rising Against Conspiracy

5/22/2014 2:08:45 AM

Look, it may be Randy Orton versus Batista versus Daniel Bryan for that WWE World Heavyweight Championship belt. I mean, it appeared to be like a one-on-one-on-one clash, or simply let’s call it “triple threat.”

But as I watched the event thru both online live streaming and the television coverage (which, by the way, props to Fox Philippines for saving our raging sanity), I can only sense one thing… conspiracy.

Look, both Batista and Orton were heels (and I know, and you know that we loved seeing one heel clashing with another), but at the same time, they were both under the “Authority” and were up against similar familiar foe this time around: that is Daniel Bryan, especially if we’re speaking about roles here.

Just imagine if the Hunter won against then-contender Bryan, it could have been a hell boring match; and people would have tagged Brock Lesnar and the Undertaker’s duel as the “best in the evening” instead. And that could even drag down their overall perception in the WrestleMania 30.

But they had just done what’s best for business – and what are also the fans would want to get.

Bryan would have won the title; but this time around, the 32-year old superstar did not let another misery passed by (cause no one dared to interfere after Batista tapped out from his Yes! Lock).

Save this moment for last, though.

But again, you mean “B plus player” who? Yes! Yes! Yes!

Just My Opinion: WrestleMania XXX – Step-Ladder To Supremacy

5/22/2014 1:57:41 AM

Daniel Bryan and Triple H collided in a step-ladder match en route to a triple threat battle for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on WrestleMania 30 last April.

Wait a second; this was supposed to be just a plain non-title singles bout, right? And perhaps, this was a “last minute” adjustments made by the WWE writers and other creative storytellers, considering these options:

• The match was supposedly addressed as CM Punk versus The Game. But that did not happen after Punk left the WWE just a night after the Royal Rumble; and  

• Daniel Bryan changed the blueprint of the projected WrestleMania itself. Supposedly, it was only Randy Orton and Batista for the WWE World Heavyweight Title (yes, only a plain singles match).

If you want to figure out what I’m talking about, about three RAW episodes prior to WMXXX, Daniel waged like an activist, together with a bunch of supporters in the squared circle to challenge the WWE COO for that fight.

But maybe, that’s because he chased his dream of becoming a champion in the pro wrestling world once again. If you can recall it well, Bryan defeated Cena in SummerSlam last August, but the game’s referee whose goes by the moniker of The Cerebral Assassin, changed the entire pace as Orton cashed in Bryan’s title, which means that Bryan’s reign as the WWE Champion only lasted for moments.

Talk about this guy’s huge movement comes with only short-lived moments of stardom. The last time he went head-to-head on WrestleMania (which dates way back 2012 at that summer-themed SunLife Stadium in Miami Florida) was he lost both the match and the title to not just Sheamus, but to then-girlfriend AJ’s kiss. And another worst thing: it only took 18 seconds for the Celtic Warrior to defeat the flying goat with a brogue kick and a pinfall.

Fast-forward to April 6 at the Mercedes Benz Superdome, the match served as the preliminary for the main coverage (which lasted four hours, as usual). A lot of observers tagged them as the “match of the evening,” and if you asked me it’s not that hard to see why. Good portrayal by both fighters though some would argue that HHH did not liked the outcome and unleashed his frustration over the Yes Movement king once again in the aftermath. But that’s how the story goes, people.

Though to be honest with you, I’d put them at top with a tie to Brock Lesnar-Undertaker match.

Just My Opinion: WWE Extreme Rules 2014

5/21/2014 8:31:25 AM

Everything just went extreme during that first Sunday of May 2014, as the World Wrestling Entertainment unleashed their latest edition of the Extreme Rules pay-pwe-view event held May 4 at the Izod Center in East Rutherford.

And over that three-hour stretch, I can only come with few takes regarding the matter, but too bad the Wee-LC match between El Torrito and Hornswoggle was not shown on air though. I can only manage to catch-up via their highlights aired during the evening. On the shallow aspect, it was indeed entertaining.

Paul Heyman was indeed the master of all heels, though it took some time for the universe to recognize his latest guy Cesaro as one. But come on, Mr. Hustler. Move on, no one really cares about how your beast incarnate dragged the Undertaker and his 21-undefeated battle run to death.

It’s just the Italian fella proved to be an even hell-sick performer from time-to-time.

Looks like it was a “Bad News” era for the former Inter-continental champion named Big E Langston. I just noticed. Since his title-defense defeat to the new IC titlist Wade Barret, Big E has been on a slump. But maybe, that’s how the plot should roll in his character considering this heavyweight lifter-looking athlete has been dominating though not earning a total primetime card slot.

Paige has been successful in her title defense against the always-dangerous TaminaSnuka. And their match proved to be one. On that note, the match already earned my nod for the second best match of the night.

Rusev has shown much promise, despite facing a numbers game versus the combo of Xavier Woods and R-Truth. 

But could the match go even well only if the Bulgarian brute (oh, sorry. He’s already a Russian according to his manager-slash-rumored dating partner Lana) didn’t unload his shot before the bell rang? Too bad, their battle went only short-lived and the super-athlete proved to be too much for the two of ‘em.

On the other side though, no wonder why NXT talents like him and Paige would be lording over the main roster soon. I suggest he should face either Bray Wyatt or Brock Lesnar in the future.

Sorry for both the Buzzard and Cenation follower, but the “steel cage match” between John Cena and Bray Wyatt sucks. Seriously, it is. Not because it is really plain scripted by acting-wise speaking, but because it’s damn ill-executed. Forget the child with that weird-sounded voice singing “He’s got the whole world in his hands,” it’s just kinda ill-planned despite both fighters appeared they played well against each other.

So the plot continues, and we’ll hope on Payback, their clash (which by the way, is on the verge of creating a trilogy a la boxing) will top them all… even the ones they had at WrestleMania.

Kane and Daniel Bryan were on the title match. And everything went to their extremities (though still nothing compares to that term during the WWE’s attitude era), you see those backstage brawl that includes crashing cars, forklift, fiery table, and even a sparking television set (when thrown without any unplugging per se on a bucket full of iced water).

But sadly, it was not that epic thing to see. Still, I gave them my verdict as the third best match of Extreme Rules 2014. Plus, Daniel Bryan may have won the match and retained his WWE World Heavyweight title, but never enough to finish one daunting important task – that is to slay the demonizing red-head demon.

And of course, I reserved this last spot for what would the best match of the night – the trio versus trio clash between Evolution and Shield. Seriously, they should have been co-headlined Extreme Rules aside from the title clash between these two former tag team members of Hell No.

And this time around, it was not Reigns who emerged the most – it was Rollins. Talk about that highlight moment when he jumped for like 10 feet above the stands and landed on two Evolution members. Perhaps if you were seated near to Seth’s jumping row, you already saw it coming. But the aftermath was just sick as fuck – the “holy shit” chants which I’m afraid the MTRCB would not be able handle (and just imagine if it was airing here on free TV: you might get irate on why suddenly your TV went mute for that matter).

Reigns have been a usual one-man show. It may be too much for us to see, but it was impressive to do a one-man screwjob anyway, no matter how many the odds are placed on the squared circle.

As for Triple H, Randy Orton, and Batista, they are on the verge of unleashing the vengeance in Payback. I’m seeing another potential match-of-the-year (well, the Shield was always to top contender since their Elimination Chamber 3x3 battle against the Wyatt Family).

Just My Opinion: Wrestemania XXX: Legacy Vs False Prophecy Round 1

5/5/2014 7:58:19 AM

So John Cena prevails, but another part of this plot will roll ‘til the Extreme Rules, eh? Some wrestling enthusiasts said their match with Bray Wyatt should have been the second best of the night.

And the flaws: They still lacked the much hype in compliance to their story line.

And maybe, I would agree with that.

The problem with Cena though is that he can really have the monster in him, but he doesn’t have to be driven out by his opponent just like that. Look, the Cenation leader may have defeated the Buzzards’ patriarch in terms of physique; but if we’re talking about mind games, it’s the other way around. I mean, Bray Wyatt is winning even more against him.

I know, some would say it’s scripted by nature. But believe me: his performance during the match was not just like one, it’s even more predictable.

And to save the least for the Wyatt Family’s head, I can only take a look at this clip and call it “the best trash-talking moment of the evening.”

Now, as I am writing the post, reports said John Cena lost to Bray Wyatt in their steel cage match at the Extreme Rules held Sunday evening (US Eastern Time) at the IZOD center. Well, I have yet to check out the entire match as long as the local carrier here in the country would provide its telecast.

The Pre-Take: Extreme Rules

5/3/2014 10:29:10 PM

As much as everything goes stale for me in the pro wrestling world (specifically I haven’t even wrote my separate takes for the battles for this past Wrestlemania), here are my predictions for WWE Extreme Rules 2014:

- John Cena still prevails over Bray Wyatt in that steel cage match; 'cause pulling off a disappointment can make fans boycott the entire event. But the overturn can still occur, if the Wyatt patriarch uses his physical strength the same as his mind power).

- El Torito will win over Hornswoggle, and that’s another battle for the fans. But, ugh. Seriously?!

- Big E still retains his Intercontinental Championship belt. And no wonder why. All it takes is a neutralizer to a bad news (but hey, Wade Barrett's entertaining though)

- Paige would most likely retain her title as the Diva’s champ over Tamina. But definitely this should be a one heck-of-a-fight considering Superfly’s daughter has always been a strongest contender for the title.

- Daniel Bryan will win it again over Kane. It’s always been like that. Daniel Bryan’s always been a both monster and warrior. He’s on his very toughest and best form. Well, I hope things would not get more over-rated though.

- Cesaro will prevail in their triple threat match against Rob Van Dam and Jack Swagger. Let’s face it. The new Heyman guy may be a heel, but he got the talents of a perennial superstar right now.

- Xavier Woods and R-Truth should have made the contest a “no hold barred” if they want to crush Alexander Rusev. ‘Cause on a very normal 2-vs-1 battle, there’s only a little chance they would lord over the super-athlete.

- Evolution may have the enriched number of experience, but the Shield would stand over the vets once again. They had done that against Kane and the New Age Outlaws on Wrestlemania. Chances are, Reigns might be the destructive force to be reckoned if we’re talking about individual talent here.

Overall, the event looks like a bust when it comes to stipulations. Somehow, the event title match gives a bit of justice, plus there is a steel cage battle, handicap clash and a triple threat match. I just hope Extreme Rules wouldn't turn to be a total bummer unlike the previous pay-per-view events with exception to WrestleMania XXX!

Just My Opinion: WrestleMania XXX

4/15/2014 7:28:14 PM

For over three decades, the world of sports and entertainment had its huge convergence by the name of WrestleMania.

30 years (and a mere half month ago), the very first professional wrestling’s biggest extravaganza was set at the Madison Square Garden in New York City.

And who will thought that after thirty years, three legends emerged to get along in the Big Easy?

I’m talking about Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold Steve Austin and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson.

Now that is an epic moment for Wrestlemania XXX!

I’ll gave the entire review of those big-card matches in separate posts.

Now, if you asked me about Cesaro’s superior reign for the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, it was a shocking yet epic moment.

WWE.com

Yes, considering that a modern-day giant like the Big Show was tagged as the top favorite to win it all. But that’s cool respect at the end. Cesaro was always known for being the darkhorse of the entire WWE roster. I mean, this guy has an extreme talent and can emerge superior among other elite names in their line-up. Who would have thought this guy made it to the six-man elimination chamber match with the WWE World Heavyweight champion is at stake?

http://dailywrestlingnews.com/

I haven’t seen the Usos’ match against three other duo-crew competitors for their title defense, so I’m leaving the words ‘no comment’ on it. And in case you wondered on why is that the four-way fatal tag team match hasn’t been seen in the entire coverage of Wrestlemania XXX, it’s because they were scheduled to take place at the pre-show hours.

http://www.wwe.com/

The DIVAS invitational? Nah, I think that is something predictable at will. AJ Lee emerged victorious on Sunday, extending her reign as the Divas champion for at least another one (aside from the previous 265 days). But heck, is there something new about that?

sethrollinsfans.tumblr.com

The SHIELD collided against the WWE Director of Operations (and one-half of the formerly known as “Brothers of Destruction”) Kane and the new Age Outlaws? Nah, the entire match suck, but I love the sudden outstanding performance by Roman Reigns. Believe me, guys – he is the next big thing in pro wrestling.

It was clearly a one-sided show made by the Hounds of Justice. Now, if only the Authority managed to step their clashes aside and put the Wyatts (instead of Kane+NAO) in that trio-versus-trio match. Their last showing at the Elimination Chamber was so motherfucking epic. Yes, so epic it could almost headline Wrestlemania and became the 2014’s Match of the Year.

Now, speaking of the buzzards, its patriarch Bray Wyatt clashed with Josh Cena for a prophecy-versus-legacy match. It almost lived up to its hype. And as much as I want to tackle that game on a separate post, I think this moment is something I will name as the trashtalking act of the evening.

It’s like John Cena saying that “You can’t see me” phrase; while Bray, on the other end, answers a horrendous-like move which states “oh, yeah?” I remember tweeting that piece during the WM day itself and it earned a hundred retweets (minus the clip though)

CENA: You can't see me. WYATT: Oh, yeah? #Wrestlemania #WM30 #WMXXX
— SlickMaster (@slickmasterph) April 7, 2014

And I am pretty sure almost no one expected to watch an ending… like this!

</

Yes, I am talking about the streak-breaker Brock Lesnar. Who would have thought that this 36-year old former world champion-slash-former UFC heavyweight titlist had that capability to conquer ‘The Deadman’ and his living legendary 21-Wrestlemania winning streak?

I’ll have more of it soon.

Oh, you want to move on? Then don’t read that shit, simple as that!

Moving on, it’s Daniel Bryan versus Triple H in a step-ladder battle for the triple threat match with the big one’s at stake. That match actually kicked off the entire main Wrestlemania cards. Some people said it was the match of the year (and by the way, that’s according to a Facebook group where I belong).

Though my point stands differ from them, it’s not hard to see why the Bryan versus Hunter match was the best of the evening. But anyway, I’ll put my take on that soon, as well as the entire championship match.

Shocking Loss

4/15/2014 10:57:31 AM

Wala nang mas sasaklap pa sa mundo ng professional wrestling kesa sa pangyayaring ito noong Linggo, a-6 ng Abril (o Lunes, a-8 ng Abril, oras sa Pilipinas).

Tama, ang pagkatalo ng Undertaker sa isang... Brock (oh, sorry, “BRRRROOOCK!”) Lesnar.

Teka, sino bang mag-aakala na ang isang 36 anyos na dating three-time World Champion at dati ring Heavyweight champion sa Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) ang tatapos sa legasiya ng mamang ito, na ang edad ay 49, tapos eight time champion sa World Wrestling Entertainment (3 for World Heavyweight, 4 for WWE/WWF Undisputed Champion, and 1 WWF Hardcore Championship) sa Wrestlemania 30, at sa harap ng 75,167 kataong nanunood sa Mercedes Benz Superdome sa New Orleans?

Wasak, di ba?

Pero... ganun talaga ang professional wrestling, at sa kahit ano pang sport, at kahit saan pang larangan ng buhay. Kanya-kanyang panahon, ika nga. Di habang panahon ay nasa taas ka. Hindi sa lahat ng oras, ikaw lagi ang panalo.

Matanda na nga si Mark William Calaway. Tatlong dekada (o kung sasaktuhin natin ay 34 taon) na siya sa mundo ng WWE. Di pa rito kasama ang ilang taon na nilagi niya sa ibang liga at lugar (basta, nasa mundo ng professional wrestling).

Ewan ko nga lang kung ito na rina ang magtatakda ng katapusan sa rivalry nila. Kung maalala dati nay kinompronta ni Undertaker si Lesnar sa isang UFC event kung saan ay kagagaling sa isang pagkatalo ang ngayo’y 36 anyos na taga-Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Pero siyempre, out of the plot na yang tinutukoy ko. Balik tayo sa nakakashock na pangyayari. Tama, ang pagkatalo niya ay ikinagulat ng mundo.  Paano nagyari yun? Maliban pa sa tatlong F5 at minsan pa’y kamuntikan nang matalo via sumbmission pagkatapos siyang gamitan ng Kimura lock?

Nasa’n ka nung naganap ito? Aakalain mo ba na magtetrend ito sa Twitter nun? Aakalain mo ba na magiging laman ito ng mga sports at entertainment news portals nun? At nagulat ka rin ba tulad niya?

Malamang, masasabi rin na “tangina, ang ayos din ng scriptwriter nito ah.”

Pero katulad din ng sinabi ko kanina, kanya-kanyang panahon na lang yan. Masaklap man tanggapin, pero mukhang doon na rin matatapos ang kanyang legendary winning streak. Kung tutuusin sa mata ng mahilig mabasag ng hype, wala pa nga itong binatbat sa record ni Goldberg, na inabot ng 174 na laban bago muli matalo (oo, tama yang nabasa mo. Kung hindi ka kumbinsideo eh IGMG, ika nga ni Stanley Chi).

At kahit at one point ata, siya na rin ang gusto magtapos ng winning streak nito eh.

Pero nevertheless, hanga pa rin ako kay Deadman kahit ganun. Even if creepy siya, look, isa siya sa mga hinahanggan din eh. Minsan na rin niya hinawakan ang liderato ng WWE. And say, winning for 21 Wrestlemania years (kahit sabihin pa na may pagka-peke ang WWE ngayon) is no joke.

Ngayon, kung sa espekulasyon na magreretiro siya tingin ko, panahon na rin eh. Isa pa, wala na rin tayo magagawa kung talagang hindi na ito ang erang kinagisnan natin. Attitude man yan o golden pa.

At kung urat ka lang din naman sa takbo ng wrestling ngayon, eh uso naman ang maglipat ng channel papunta sa paborito mong palabas, ke telesereye man, UFC, basketball, reality show o ultimong isang basketball game pa yan.

Mas Okay Pang Manood ng Wrestling Kesa sa Telenovela

4/10/2014 10:37:26 AM

Sa totoo lang, ang isang sporting event ay isang pinakaperpektong halimbawa ng reality show, o ng isang television series. At kung ganun lang naman ang usapan, aba, mas okay pang manood ng wreswtling kesa sa teleserye!

Ano?! Seryoso ka ba?!

O, ano? Napataas ba bigla kilay mo? Uminit ba ulo mo? Kumulo ba dugo mo?

Kung ganun, aba, hindi ko na problema yan.

Pano ko nasabi ‘to? Kamakailanlang, marai akong nababasang mga kumento sa kaliwa’t kanang mga Facebook page. At marami dun ay nakikipagtalo dahil diumano sa kakornihan ng World Wrestling Entertainment. Scripted daw.

Oo, scripted naman talaga yan e. Kaya nga “World Wrestling Entertainment,” ‘di ba? Kaya nga rin tinawag na ‘sports entertainment’ ang mundong ginagalawan nila.

So what can you expect pa ba?

Lately, nagiging parte na rin ng daily grind ko ang mag-isip at magsulat ng mga post na mau kinalaman sa WWE. Maliban pa yan sa mga beat ko sa UFC (though never ko pa siyang nailalahad sa sarili kong blog), NBA , PBA, at kung anu-ano pa. Siguro dala na rin ito ng pagiging fanboy ng WWF nung bata pa ako.

At noong umusbong ang ika-30 edisyon ng WrestleMania, naging matunog na naman ang pangalan ng WWE. Nagtrend sa Twitter. As in pinag-usapan na naman siya. Maraming nagsasabi (na usually naman ay mga taong nabuburat na rin sa palabas na ito), scripted daw ‘to. Ops, basahin ulit ang nasa itaas (kailangan bang paulit-ulit sa pag-eexplain ha?).

Pero kumokorni na nga ba ang WWE dahil sa kung anu-anong pautot ng mga ‘to? Mantakin mo, maraming nagbabalik na mga alamat sa kasaysayan ng professional wrestling. Bibihira lang na bigyan ng pagkakataon ang mga biglang usbong na superstar. Madalas ay inaambush.

Pero mayroon din namang mga epikong nagwawakas sa hindi mo inaasahang pagkakataon – gaya na lamang ng pagkatalo ni Undertaker. Pustahan, walo sa sampung katao nun ay hindi inaakalang matatalo si Taker ni Brock Lesnar. At kahit sinabi ko sa predisyon na yun na maari pa ring manaig ang Deadman sa labang yun, hindi ko rin kinaila at minaliit ang kapangyarihan at abilidad ng isang wrestler na tila mas nagging halimaw pa ang laro mula noong sumali sa UFC ilang taon na ang nakalilipas.

Pero, scripted nga ba ang WWE? Given nay an, mga tsong. At... hey, kung ako lang tatanungin, mas astig pa nga ito kaysa sa mga telesereye eh.

Oo, mas okay pa sa teleserye. Yung iba ngang actor sa mainstream ngayone daig pa ng mga extra kung umarte eh.

Pero, anu-ano pa nga ba ang dahilan kung bakit mas okay pang manood ng WWE kesa sa mga telenovela.

Maaring predictable ‘to, pero at least, hindi halata, ‘di tulad ng mga teaser na makikita at nakapapagpasabik nga, pero... hanggang dyan lang. Inuuto ka lang naman.

Pero, pero, pero... bakit nga ba? Sobrang generic na rin kasi ng mga teleserye sa panahon na ito eh. Kung tutuusin, mas okay pa nga ang kwentong ito kesa sa mga umuusbong na mga pelikula sa mainstream.

At... kahit papaano, may originality ang mga plot ng WWE. ‘di tulad ng mga teleserye na obvious na obvious na nga sa pagiging generic, eh halatang copycat pa ito mula sa mga nakalipas na pelikula o  teleserye. Minsan pa nga, mula pa sa mga love song ipinapangalan ang mga ito.

Ugh. Let’s get real here, please?

Kumpara mo naman ang rating ng teleserye sa overall na popularity ng world wrestling entertainment no? Duh.

Uulitin ko na lang para sa mga makukulit: Mas okay pang manood ng wrestling kesa sa telenovela.

Oo, may kasama pang mga hashtag na #RealTalk at #JustSaying pa yan.

THE PRE-TAKE: WRESTLEMANIA XXX (PART 2)

4/2/2014 11:05:28 AM

Now, let’s move to the four main event cards of Wrestlemania XXX: first, it’s John Cena versus Bray Wyatt in a singles match. Yet, a singles match which seems to defy prophecies, generations, and… yes, the word ‘legacy’ itself.

http://www.wwe.com/

Wyatt has been a superb monster during his WWE NXT days. Before he left the developing league to enter the main one, his crew Wyatt Family was the three-man dominating cultist-like crew packed with total weapons of destruction. And I’m sure when they debuted for the WWE last year, you once hated them, especially the patriarch him self – for bringing nothing but wreak havoc on several superstars.

And now, they menaced on the big one who seems to be the most-popular star in WWE for the last decade (yes, during the post-Attitude Era). Talk about crushing heroes in the eyes of those kids, eh?

And come to think that John Cena has been on a downside spiral for almost the previous three years, eh? First he lost to the Miz in 2011; then to the Rock in 2012; before his revenge worked out in 2013 to spill the jinx out of him. However, the last time he was at the grandest stage (which was by the way, situated at the Metlife Stadium in East Rutherford), turned out to be a stellar one on his part as he grabbed the WWE Championship from Dwayne Johnson.

But now, it’s not for the title – it’s for the legacy. Will John Cena’s era prevail anew, or a new one emerges in Bray Wyatt. Well, let’s hope though this will turn out to be real messy for either one of them.

http://www.catchpresse.com/

Moving on, it’s the Phenom clashing with the Beast. Yes, the Undertaker will roll on his 22^nd Wrestlemania Battle once again; with this time around, a certain Brock Lesnar will be his rival.

As Lesnar’s advocate Paul Heyman expressed his disbelief for the former’s non-inclusion to join the WWE World Heavyweight Title clash at Wrestlemania, the latter said he was offered by the Authority to post an ‘open challenge’ for the evening.

And much to anyone’s surprise though, the Deadman rose from out of nowhere to take that ‘challenge.’ Mark Callaway has been on a roll since 1992. He has beaten almost everyone: legends and superstars alike.

And even Mr. Wrestlemania himself.

In 2012 at Miami, the WWE universe witnessed the most harrowing entrance of a WWE player and it turns out to be an instant 50-minute classic: the END of an ERA clash against Hunter, with Shawn Michaels as the guest referee in the match.

In 2013, The Undertaker avenged the total humiliation made by CM Punk against him and his late manager Paul Bearer (whom, by the way, will be entering the Hall of Fame this year).

And now, a beast incarnate will try to halt the Undertaker’s winning run. And indeed, he is capable of doing such, considering he broke Shawn Michael’s arm as well as Triple H’s for twice. Lesnar also sent Chairman Vince McMahon to a hip replacement surgery when he threw a thunderous F5 on him. Plus recently, he threw Mark Henry out of his way and even broke his shoulder.

This guy can really defy death and broke his legacy in terms of abilities. The question though: is that enough to put the game in his favor? I’ll say the Undertaker would still prevail in this one.

www.veooz.com

Now, for the championship wars: it’s Daniel Bryan versus Triple H. The Hunter appeared to have his era diminished after losing to Undertake in 2012, but vowed revenged and eventually emerged victorious in 2013 when he send Brock Lesnar to his toes on a no-holds barred battle in 2013.

Now, he’s back in the squared circle once again, with another reason: put the YES MOVEMENT into a stop. And this means staging a war against Daniel Bryan. Prior to their much-awaited clash, the Hunter staged a set-up to strip the championship title from Bryan on Summerslam. He then awarded it to the Money in the Bank winner Randy Orton.

And despite Daniel Bryan’s even skyrocketing popularity, the Authority was still at helm to deprive him any chances to win the most coveted WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Kane, once his former tag-team partner cost him the chance to steal the belt against Orton in Elimination Chamber. Bryan also berated Triple H’s crew from also depriving him a chance to participate at the Royal Rumble.

Well, for now, it seemed like Daniel Bryan finally got what he wish for; when he staged an OCCUPY RAW movement at one point during the WWE’s flagship program. But he also suffered a massive consequence a week after though.

The winner of the match will take a step from their ladder to the biggest battle of Wrestlemania XXX – the title match itself.

http://www.wwe.com/

At first, it was supposedly a Randy Orton-Batista clash, since Orton has been holding on to the title after defeating John Cena for twice (First, at TLC [Dec. 2013]; and second, at the Royal Rumble [Jan. 2014]). We can’t count the Elimination Chamber though even if the Cenation leader was part of that 6-man event title battle, since it was Bryan whom came even close for that ‘big one.’

However, as for that “best for business,” motto, which Triple H and Stephanie McMahon always used to say, it turned out to be a triple-threat.

By the way, Batista won the Royal Rumble in a not-so-convincing fashion. Maybe, if Roman Reigns managed to hold his ground.

Now, should that be another exciting. Well, please do so? ‘Cause this ‘business talk’ is getting boring little by little. And honestly speaking, I don’t care who wins for the title.

Now… that’s my pre-Werstlemania post looks boring either. Adding insult to injury is that one local channel isn’t airing WWE shows anymore, leaving questions from us on where should we resort every now and then? Aside from a cable channel, though.

But if you asked me what should be the match of the night, I’ll pick three potentials. Either which of them will fall on that namesake.

-          SHIELD versus KANE + NEW AGE OUTLAWS

-          UNDERTAKER versus BROCK LESNAR

-          30-MAN ANDRE THE GIANT MEMORIAL BATTLE ROYAL

Yeah, where am I should now look for to watch Wrestlemania XXX?  Sucks to be me.

THE PRE-TAKE: WRESTLEMANIA XXX (PART 1)

4/2/2014 11:05:23 AM

http://www.wwe.com

What you’re gonna do if Wrestlemania runs wild on you, brother?

Well, it’s barely half-week to go before Wrestlemania 30 rolls along at the Superdome in the Big Easy. Now, let’s just hope that the professional wrestling’s grandest annual event will not be another bust nor bullshit on our part as fans and spectators.

Well, I can really say I am still a spectator, since I only managed to get a hold of witnessing this thing since 2012 (though when I was a kid, I do watch several wrestling programs such as the precursor WWF).

First, the 59-year older Hulk Hogan returns to the sports entertainment world as the host for the evening.

But, moreover, let’s see what we can say about the upcoming cards in the Wrestlemania XXX.

http://www.wwe.com/

Kicking off the evening will be a fatal-four way clash for the Tag Team Championship. Just barely a few weeks (I think more than a month) after the Samoan-brother tandem known as the Usos took the title away from the reemerging New Age Outlaws, here they ago in the biggest night of their wrestling lives: Jimmy and Jey Uso will battle three other two-man crews whom are also potential title dethroners. Namely: Ryback and Curtis Axel; the Real Americans (Jack Swagger and Cesaro); and the Los Matadores (Diego and Fernando).

The Real Americans can be really a powerhouse, though I think Cesaro (who dropped the first name Antonio from his stage name) is more destructive than his partner.

Meanwhile, Ryback and Curtis Axel were not the much-favored to win the title in my word. Yes, they look like a demolition crew, but still ain’t enough to dethrone the Samoan brothers.

While, oh, Los Matadores? Are you serious about this? This may appear like a friendly match for damn sakes. Plus they have deal themselves at one point during the Main Event, right (it was also their title defense)?

Nah, I’ll pick the defending champs to retain their belts. However, the Real Americans can really stand a chance, considering that one is a former ECW and World Heaveyweight Champion, and another one is a total journeyman and also a one-time United States Champion.

Let’s move on to the trio-versus-trio clash between the members of the Shield against the Kane and the ex-tag team champs NAO.

www.smarkoutmoment.com

So, the Director of Operations teamed up with Road Dogg and Billy Gunn to throw a punishment anew to Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins, eh? They clashed a few episodes back in both RAW and SMACKDOWN lately, where it seems the Hound of Justice is now imposing their will and power against one top member of the Authority.

But nah, it may be exciting. But still, I would rather see the Wyatts as their opponent instead. Seriously, it was one heck of a match. Plus Roman Reigns is living on his own super potential (it can’t be denied), though the stability of their partnership with Ambrose and Reigns is still have to watch considering these guys have their own sets of misunderstandings as well.

If Kane’s trio wins though, I’ll say ‘that’s what’s best for business!’

fight4warrior.blogspot.com

How about the Vickie Guerrero Divas’ Championship Invitational? It seems like similar to the Battle Royal’s objective – every man for himself. Well, let me rectify that for you, guys – every diva for herself. So AJ Lee will be on her own when she battles the other 13 female WWE wrestlers.

Though I would think either Natalya or Tamina Snuka can snatch the belt away from her.

www.fanstalkwrestling.com

Next in line will be the 30-man battle royal in memory of Andre the Giant. Yes, and ironically it’s his rival Hulk Hogan whom announced this huge card; where stars and even champions will clash with fellow players and another in the over-the-top-rope battle to win that memorial trophy.

Honestly speaking, I can’t tell who will win this. And I can’t even enumerate them all since this post is getting longer if I do so. But certainly this should be another exciting war field to take on.

Now, let’s move to the four main event cards of Wrestlemania XXX!

(see next article, which will be published before noon time of Friday, April 4, 2014)

http://www.wwe.com

WWE Wrestlemania XXX will be airing live from the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana on Sunday, April 6, 2014 at 7 PM Eastern Time / 4PM Pacific Time.

In the Philippines, it will be 7AM live; though Fox Channel Philippines has the exclusive rights to broadcast the four-hour extravaganza. The show starts by 9:50 PM.
