It's about time the World Wrestling Entertainment go extreme and it still never goes out of style since it's still the month of May anyway.

After switching dates and places with Payback, WWE will be staging the most ruthless and the most aggressive of them all, Extreme Rules; and it's all happening at Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey this Sunday evening (Monday morning Manila time).

An Asylum Match?!

05/18/2016 05:56:44 PM

We all know what's gonna happens next Sunday, even if they appeared like an unconfirmed rumor: Dean Ambrose will face Chris Jericho at Extreme Rules.

And just when we though we will have two extreme rules matches at the event itself come Sunday night, we were wrong. At first I was disappointed, considering Ambrose headlining the poster of ER.

But hey, after seeing the clip from WWE Raw via YouTube, I could only utter two words: What's this? Oh sorry, make it five—what on earth is this?

Flick Review: Captain America: Civil War

Captain America: Civil War proved few things: superheroes will always be humans behind those powerful weapons. They have egos, and they will fight for that, too. They also failed and was supposed to be more responsible with their actions as swore on their private roles.

The Pre-take: 2016 NBA Eastern Conference Finals

05/18/2016 05:17:41 PM

As of writing time, the Cleveland Cavaliers have taken a 1-0 lead by dispatching Toronto Raptors, 115-84.

Honestly, I don't see much point on why I should get my hands on this match-up. Like seriously—setting my fandom aside—we are about to see Cleveland-Golden State Warriors for the second straight time, right? Like how the Celtics-Lakers have went on during 80s, as well as Bulls-Jazz in 1997 and 1998, and the Heat-San Antonio feud in 2013 and 2014.

Beast Mode Prank?!

05/16/2016 01:36:46 PM

Pumutok na naman ang pangalan ni Baron Geisler. Hindi dahil sa magaling siyang aktor, pero dahil sa —malamang—may gulo diumano itong pinuntirya.

Ayon sa post ng isang estudyanteng si Khalil Verzosa, nag-beast mode si Geisler matapos ang pagkadelay ng proyektong gagawin nila Aniya, di naibigay sa oras ang script sa kanya. Bagamat apologetic si Verzosa, sa pangyayari, nabadtrip na talaga ang naturang artista na naaktuhang sinisigawan siya. Di nakuntento? Ayun, hineadlock pa.

The Pre-take: 2016 NBA Western Conference Finals

05/16/2016 10:20:10 AM

NBA

Say, I have been missing a lot on the world of basketball. It's like the last time I have written a prediction on the ongoing NBA playoffs was barely three years ago. And now, here we go to the conference finals.

The Oklahoma City Thunder was on the verge of winning their first crown since 70s (as Seattle Supersonics), and plots on tasking revenge against LeBron James in the 2012 NBA Finals.

But they have a gigantic task to deal—that is to dethrone the current NBA Champions Golden State Warriors, whom are seeking back-to-back titles for the first time in franchise history.

Electoral Aftermath (Back to Reality)

05/14/2016 10:20:51 AM

O, ayan, tapos na ang araw na kinapananabikan natin. Minsan laang mangyari sa tatlo at anim na taon ito, kaya sino ba naman ang hindi makapagpiligil na bumira mula sa kanilang hanging-lamang isip at bugso ng damdamin, 'di ba? 

Tapos na ang araw kung saan bawat isa sa atin (as long as rehistrado tayo para sa proseso na ito) ay pipili ng ihahalal natin sa pamahalaan. Tapos na ang panahon na halos bawat sin sa atin ay may sey sa isyu ng pamumulitika sa bansa. Tapos na rin ang panahon na pumanig tayo sa kung sinu-sino na para bang dating slogan ng PBA. (Sa'n ka? Kampihan na!)

In short, tapos na ang eleksyon.

Ngayon, ano na?! Tapos na rin ba talaga tayo na para bang relasyong romansa espesyal o summer love? Or summer job?

The Rundown Slam: WWE Payback 2016

05/15/2016 11:30:42 AM

WWE

The post-WrestleMania was supposedly to be slated as its revenge tour; thus, setting the pay-per-view event Payback for such an insane conclusion. 

But lest we forgot, we are entering the new era, where the authority had been admonished by the rise of the Roman empire, and a new authoritarian (though good guy) has taken over at the expense of earning the respect of his father. (Still, throwing the damn angle of their feud away.)

And just when you thought Shane McMahon has been on the roll, his sister Stephanie gets back on him at Stamford and sent a message from his father Vincent Kennedy.

But before that, let's have a rundown of WWE's annual edition of Payback that was staged once again at Rosemont, Illinois.
