Professional wrestling was just another circus act centuries ago, but it wasn’t until four decades ago when a third generation promoter put the sport on the map, just after enduring a marked decline in its popularity.

After a year and a half, World Wrestling Entertainment has finally ditched the all-virtual ThunderDome welcomed back live events and its crowd—aptly called WWE Universe—into its fold.

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:

The Rundown Slam: 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.

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.

The Pre-Take: WrestleMania XXX (PART 1)

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.

Feisty Returns

‎03/‎08/‎2014 08:31:12 AM

I wrote a piece similar to this a few months ago, only to have my cellphone get stolen. It's just good thing that I managed to recall the words there.

It's been three months since these two guys announced their return. And now, the universe is pounding on them as 'heels.'

It was during late December when both Brock Lesnar and Batista announced their comeback to the World Wrestling Entertainment, with the former preferring to do so in a much lesser hype, and much even distorted direction (he was also rumored to return to the Ultimate Fighting Championship). He first slated hat during the very last WWE Monday program of 2013.

Match of The Year?!: #1 — The SHIELD vs. The Wyatt Family

2/28/2014 11:00:58 AM

Meanwhile, as I saw the entire list of clashes in the Sunday’s Elimination Chamber, I think this battle goes down as one of the World Wrestling Entertainment’s epic matches of the year 2014.

Seriously, it is.

The Rundown Slam: WWE Royal Rumble 2014

Before we hit the WWE’s Elimination Chamber this coming Sunday evening in Minnesota, let’s take a look-back in the past month’s edition of Royal Rumble.

Punk's Got Punked

9/21/2013 3:29:14 PM

I know. I’ve hated CM Punk for disrespecting the Undertaker’s man weeks before their over-hyped Wrestlemania match at New York.

But heck, he’s on the underdog side this time around. I mean the real “underdog” state of mind. He dueled up against the intercontinental champion Curtis Axel and his former friend Paul Heyman.

The Rundown Slam: Wrestlemania 29 – Section B: Personified.

Too bad, I did not manage to watch the replay of Wrestlemania last Saturday. But that did not stop me to put my take on another brutally-speaking battle (thanks to Dailymotion, by the way).

Brock Lesnar and Triple H in a no-holds-barred clash that put the latter’s career on the line. How on earth did that happen? Well, very weird.

Second Big Clash.

05:00 PM | 03/09/2013

I’m not a huge fan of wretsling nor I’ve seen all of the WWE’s clashes. But something caught my attention then. John Cena versus The Rock for the Wrestlemania 2013. And... yes, again, for the WWE Championship.

Could it all be revenge for the former or will the latter prevail for the 2nd time?

The John Cena versus The Rock was the match that I could hardly forget. That was one of the hell battles I’ve seen for 2012, perhaps because it was staged as the main event of the 23rd Wrestlemania showcase at Miami, Florida.

Touch challenge with scripts as set-up pun intended? But hey, I’d prefer watching this clash rather than the other who ended up resorting to the so-called “dirty tactics” to pull enough some kind of dramatic effect.

Well, after seeing WWE Superstars’ snippet of Monday Night Raw match of CM Punk against John Cena (in which the latter prevails), looks like it’s gonna be a homecourt advantage for Cena. While on the other hand, The Rock was on the verge of defending himself and the title he’d won last year at the South Florida Beach. Nah, all I know is that Cena also bagged the belt for this year’s Royal Rumble either, before that hell-of-an-almost-shit match at the last main event of that night.

Will it be a deja vu or an occurence of a 360 degree turn-around?

Hmm... well, let’s see this coming April in New York.
