I have been following professional wrestling (although not in a very religious way) since 2012. I have seen WrestleMania during Holy Tuesday of the said year; and it has been a yearly thing for me to watch the show, be it live, primetime replay, or on-demand. That said, it's fair to say I have watched WrestleMania for 12 consecutive years – and probably going on 13 by April 6-7 (or April 7-8 by the Philippine Standard Time).

WrestleMania season doesn't end in April, eh? 

The Rundown Slam: WWE WrestleMania 36

It's a shame that The Show of Shows went the quarantine-ish way. They could've postponed it until the pandemic subsides to manageable extents of having people come together and watch the spectacle live. Not to mention, WrestleMania 36, the annual biggest extravaganza by World Wrestling Entertainment, appeared to be another bad case of overbooking with the total duration of six hours – eight, if you add the two-hour king kickoff shows.

In a shocking turn of events, the coronavirus has paralyzed the events business across the globe. Several leagues in the sporting world went into hiatus. Most entertainment productions suspended their filming operations until further notice.  At some point, this gravely affects the world of sports entertainment as World Wrestling Entertainment's annual grand event called WrestleMania still took place this year – despite without having the grandeur presence of the live audience.

The Pre-Take: WWE WrestleMania 35 (Part 4: The Main Event)

Sixteen matches for WrestleMania 35. Yes. 16. FREAKIN'. MATCHES. Yes, as if 14 weren't enough for a 7-hour wrestling sports entertainment show, right?

And they are back in a similar location – the one they held in 2013. It's strange because its development counterpart was named NXT TakeOver New York and not Brooklyn V. Same fate as Orlando and New Orleans on the recent years.

Is it worthy to put my predictions here? Probably yes and probably no. But anyway, since I have been writing this shit as of now, let's do this pre-take.

For all the time, WrestleMania is the World Wrestling Entertainment's premier show that will be held annually.

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?

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.

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?

After four years, the show of shows is back at the Big Easy and it looked like it didn't really fit well to us (seriously, can other cities be given a chance to host this huge wrestling event for goddamn sakes?).

Just when we thought disappointments will be ruling the road to WrestleMania, wrestling fans have seen at least few sets of turmoils on the works. And two of them are about to reach their boiling point.

As the Pre-take for WrestleMania continues, pressure around building the hype for the matches as well as the hopes for higher sales at stock, so were the disarray reactions from the WWE Universe. Well, we all know the story, right?

The Pre-take: WrestleMania 32 - Power for Power

So, it was that time of the year again for the sports entertainment world. That Sunday full of nothing but storytelling thru combat forces and physicality which serves as a teleserye to the machismo world. Yes, just like your dramarama every primetime hours of 24/7, professional wrestling has a show like no other. Four (or even seven) hours of live entertainment, and that is called WrestleMania.

The World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) is on the verge of staging their build-ups for WrestleMania. This past Royal Rumble, we had the second edition of WWE Fast Lane. In six weeks time, the question: is it really a quicker route for the Show of Shows?

The Rundown Slam: WrestleMania 31

Like a holiday jingle, “it’s that wonderful time of the year” again, as the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) staged their annual entertainment spectacular event once again. And by the way, it comes with a play button.

WrestleMania 31 was a heck of a show at the Silicon Valley. Forget that it aired on a Sunday afternoon—with a sun-shinyyy day atmosphere. It may appeared scorching hot as shit right there, but you can never deny the event was hotter as it gets.

As much as I want to tackle the pre-show which featured 2 matches, I hadn’t watched them so I beg your pardon in advance and instead move on to the main program.

You can never deny what happened on this day in this year: It is the day where the professional wrestling’s biggest stage took over the world. And it’s called “WrestleMania.”
