The Rundown Slam: WWE Survivor Series 2015

11/30/2015 6:20:35 PM


Screengrab from YouTube
This year’s Survivor Series, according to many, was so lame. Yeah, like the way I wrote my first statement there.

But kidding aside, why a lot of people were disappointed in the product after watching the pay-per-view event last two Sundays ago? I mean, what went wrong aside from the book booking and feud build-up?

Friday the 27th may be a helluva-buzzy evening due to payday, heavy traffic and a then-long weekend coming. But somewhere at the Bonifacio Global City, it was a night of adventure for the masculine race as Sky LIFE Men Zone presented MAD RUSH: THE ULTIMATE PARTY TRIP.

Sometimes all we want in life is not just a nighttime to spend nor even a partner to be with us for the rest of our lives (that’s why the word “forever” is the root of argument in the eyes of the cult I’d like to call love); there are instances where all we want is some music which will not just touch our heart, mind, and soul; but also, will ignite a spark for something sensual.

Flick Review: Mga Rebeldeng May Kaso

11/19/2015 5:48:25 PM

It’s been a while since the last time I watched a movie. And just a bit long while, I managed to take a peek on one of the entries for Cinema One Originals called Mga Rebeldeng May Kaso.

Clutch!

Say, it’s been a very long while since the last time I watched a basketball game LIVE. And as far as the local collegiate basketball is concern, the habit was almost nowhere to be found. Can you blame a busy guy? Can you blame me for being not affiliated with any of the NCAA or UAAP schools? While in fact, I’m just a hoops junkie. Yes, as generally plain and simple as that.

Tama si Heneral Luna (o si John Arcila na gumanap nito; o Jerrold Tarog na isa sa mga nagsulat ng script) nung sinabi nya na “Mga kapatid, mayroon pa tayong mas malaking kaaway kaysa mga Amerikano—ang ating sarili.”

Playback: We Are Imaginary – Pencil Me In

11/19/2015 5:27:17 PM

Maybe I am missing a lot in dealing with choices, especially when it comes to hearing music. At one point of my life, I listened to my copy of the Jack Daniel’s On Stage compilation where this track became part of the 14-track CD.

Survival for the Championship

11/19/2015 7:00:12 PM

Seth Rollins was perhaps on his path to overthrow CM Punk’s championship tenure until an injury prevented the WWE to do so. He blew his knees as he tried to do a powerbomb during a house show in Dublin, Ireland and will be missing in action for 6-9 months.

Sad, right? But that’s life. That’s the harshest aspect in the world of sports. You might not lose a game to your opponent. But if bad luck strikes, injuries can make you feel a sore loser. And even if you unstrap the kayfabe logic here, no one wants to suffer an injury that way. Why? Because that’s not even part of the plan.

With that being said, it’s quite unfortunate for Roman Reigns to also lose his contention slot for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Yes, just like that. He had to undergo a 16-man tournament, but heck, he chose to take the path anyway—right after shoving Triple H’s offer to be a “sellout.”

Un-survivng the Fantasy Booking

As much as I wanna feel excited for Survivor Series, I ended up hitting the dismayed emoticon.

And why not? The theme for Survivor Series is to celebrate the 25th anniversary of The Undertaker; and the only way to do so is by having him the captain of the Survivor Series team for the latest edition.

I guess the WWE creatives are trying to break everyone’s expectation; considering professional wrestling is “scripted” by nature.
