It’s April once again. We have reach a year of wrestling. And for the 32nd time, we have reached the culmination of those machismo folklore. One will defend himself against an emerging Goliath. Another will end oppression. Someone will have his taste of medicine, while the other is going to fight for legacy. One will fall and one will rise, especially when a tyrant clashes with an underdog, albeit the heir apparent status.

After seven years, the Show of Shows is back at Texas, with a similarly simple set-up in front of the oceanic crowd. The stage was set at Arlington, Texas. 101,763 people were inside Arlington, Texas. 12 cards were slated on a 6-hour, 45-minute Sunday program we more knew as WrestleMania.

AJ Styles versus Chris Jericho. As much as I admire the first part of their rivalry, unfortunately not when they reignited that one. We all knew Y2J was heel already when they clashed with each other before WWE FastLane, right? That being said, we may have been clearly distinguished who’s who; But should this one happened too soon? They just failed to dethrone The New Day once after three tries as Y2AJ? Fuck.

Since it’s gonna be another heck-of-an-event this coming Sunday evening in Silicon Valley (Monday morning Manila time), expect the millions (and millions!) of wrestling fans around the globe to witness the World Wrestling Entertainment’s (WWE) 31st annual spectacle, popularly known as WrestleMania!

And what’s a WrestleMania for the SlickMaster – along with his followers (whom, by the way, are just countable by your fingertips!) without a “pre-take,” right? 

Talk about predictions, just like the way we have last year.

It’s that time of the year when the World Wrestling Entertainment switched gears and went as hellish as fuck when they slate two inferno-like cage matches on Sunday popularly known as Hell in the Cell.
