The Pre-Take: WWE WrestleMania 34 (Part 4)

WrestleMania 34 comprised of 13 matches, right? So that means we might not be seeing an impromptu John Cena's challenge to the Undertaker, right?

The Pre-Take: WWE WrestleMania 34 (Part 3)

For the second year in a row, Alexa Bliss is walking in WrestleMania as a champion in WWE. But this time around, she will not face a  legitimate threat in Asuka as the Empress of Tomorrow picked another championship belt to battle at the Show of Shows.

The Pre-Take: WWE WrestleMania 34 (Part 2)

Of course, the two battle royals and (sadly) the WWE Cruiserweight Championship is already slated at the kickoff show that might even start before sunrise here in Manila. With over 13 matches in the card, WrestleMania 34 is obviously expected to take more than a quarter-of-a-day long, with over five hours for the program itself. Kinda dragging, right?

The Year of the SmackDown (Well, it WAS)

I probably should've wrote this piece long time ago (last month would've been more relevant), just the same way since I have been catching up late with Great Balls of Fire and Battleground. But since SumemrSlam is just around the corner, time to pull the trigger in my mind and finger and be at my poor wrestling fan self again. Anyway...

The year-long stretch from July 2016 to July 2017 was the Year of The SmackDown. I mean, this is how the Blue show called SmackDown Live dominated their counterpart, the flagship Monday Night RAW among the competition between two long-time WWE programs that has been airing since the 90s. All that despite seeing more of sentai-like graphics, and a less-resonating soundtrack.

Screwjob?!

I know  I shouldn't make a comment about this match since I have yet to see the entire thing called Money in the Bank. As far as my commonly-known observers are concerned (from Smark Henry to the Sporting Guy), this MITB has been so far the worse gig for the SmackDown Live brand.

What? Another replica of the Women's MITB Ladder Match? And that will take place just 10 days from Sunday the 18th? But why?

The Rise of The King of Strong Style

04/15/2017 12:07:41 AM

Over the past WrestleMania week, we have seen the Hardy Boyz made an epic comeback to the WWE/ We were also awed by the returning Finn Balor from a shoulder injury when he teamed up with his previous foe (and the same guy who accidentally injured him during that WWE Universal Championship battle) Seth Rollins.

But save Tuesday nights as the last hurrah for they have just earned the biggest prize from NXT this year – and no, it's not the Perfect Ten. 

The Pre-Take: WWE WrestleMania 33 – Women's Championship Matches

04/02/2017 09:55:33 PM

Initially, I was kinda saddened by the fact that we will only witness a six-pack challenge for the SmackDown Women's Championship match in a kickoff show. Until they decided to do otherwise. Hey, after all, how will the people worldwide will feel the glow 

The Rundown Slam: WWE Survivor Series 2016

12/04/2016 04:18:11 PM

Survivor Series has come big time as the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) celebrated the 30th year of the event's existence with three Survivor Series matches between the brands RAW and SmackDown Live.

Talking Smack, Literally!

When this video aired last week, it looked like the line has diminshed. The world of reality and kayfabe were seemingly reunited after a blurred boundary; just as similar to what happened to Brock Lesnar and Randy Orton at SummerSlam.

Showing Off!

While RAW pulled off a bunch of shockers to kick off the competition among the programs in WWE, SmackDown Live made surprises of their own: though the WWE Championship was renamed the WWE World Championship in response to RAW's Universal, the way the contenders were determined into a series of multi-man matches.
