The Pre-Take: WWE WrestleMania 33

04/02/17 11:03:57 PM

John Cena and Nikki Bella versus The Miz and Maryse might be one of the best things that will take olace at WrestleMania. At least that saved me from having some pre-event's disdains as a wrestling fan. 

While things were quite obvious to be pointing in that direction even during his days of being the 16th time World Champion, it seems that Cena and his real-life girlfriend were planned to engage in an altercation with Mike Mizanin and his wife. Both sports-entertainers (we mean wrestlers) and entertainers at their very own respective rights.

The Pre-Take: WWE WrestleMania 33 – Women's Championship Matches

Initially, I was kinda saddened by the fact that we will only witness a six-pack challenge for the SmackDown Women's Championship match in a kickoff show. Until they decided to do otherwise. Hey, after all, how will the people worldwide will feel the glow 

The Pre-Take: WWE WrestleMania 33 – The Kickoff Show Matches

04/02/2017 09:05:52 PM

I've said this before and I would probably say this again: this edition of WrestleMania had a lackluster hype and buildup that has twisted everyone's minds to the extent of a tiring one; making it as less interesting as possible. Well, probably not all feuds but it covered a a large portion of it with 13 matches stacked for probably 6 or 7 hours. Somewhat, it could be really tiring and dragging to watch as a fan and being a cult follower of professional wrestling for five years.

In all fairness, WWE Fastlane lived up to their name. 

The Rundown Slam: WWE Elimination Chamber 2017

Elimination Chamber marked its return after two years, and it's sadly wasn't the dome full of its name. They looked like a just-above-barbaric version of Hell in a Cell with chains and steel painted black and paddings that made it less of a chamber. So much for bringing a lot of special matches in the PG era.

Here's a piece of rewind 2016 for you, guys. No, we'll not gonna tackle those political crappy stuff here (hey, we all want to move forward on that aspect, right?). I know, while I personally geared up to the next level, I admit that blogging has far left behind. So that being said, let's take a bit of lookback to what the past year has offered to us.

It's funny how the WWE claimed this edition of Royal Rumble as the biggest rumble of them all. Why? Is it because of the fact that they are celebrating three decades of success off a Robert Patterson's idea? Is it because of the return of the RR to the Alamo City?

The Rundown Slam: NXT Take Over San Antonio

I know, it might be six weeks to two months late from posting this. And I really had a hard time coping up with what's happening at the wrestling world. 

But so, since WrestleMania week is just around the corner, maybe this could be at least a good time to fit into the showcase by having short takes on whatever PPV happened on this edition of road to the Ultimate Thrill Ride. Let's kick things off with NXT's pre-Royal Rumble special, shall we?

I might be bias on doing this stuff right now. Well, don't get me wrong; while Sila can be considered a “so mainstream” thing, hearing their other tracks proved they have a lot more in store to offer. Now only if you give them a listen to their ultimate-slowdown tracks “Safer” and “Smilky,” the seducing “Make U Say,” and straightforward uptempo “Profanities.” This one, though, is my favorite out of their 8-track thingamajig.

Is there any sort of difference to the what Jensen and The Flips are currently offering?

The Scene Around: Super Shadow Moses Turbo Launch

03/22/2017 08:06:51 AM

It was a Saturday night that served as the final third of a week/weekend packed of launches. While we have seen a some of our favorite bands launched their respective music videos, as well as a punk rock band and a hip-hop quartet doing their respective album launches in one night, someone up north was up for a party in a similar cause.

And that's the nerdcore rap trio Shadow Moses who just launched their geekery-inspired Super16 track album called Super Shadow Moses Turbo.

When they announced it way back then, I can already sense that this could be another big thing to take notice on a weeknight gig. Red Ninja Production and Support Your Local Indie Scene promises a set of awesome gigs this 2017. And this, happened almost two months ago, proved they can really do so. 

Indi(e) Deserved Ang Price?!

03/18/2017 01:40:48 PM

Sa mga nangyari nitong nakalipas na linggo, mukhang ito lang yata ang mas napakaintersadong pag-usapan: ang pag-anunsyo ng isang major label ukol sa isang music event na gaganapin sa Mall of Asia sa darating na Mayo 2017 na kinatatampukan ng mga banda na hinangaan sa independent music scene nitong nakalipas na mga taon at sa kasalukuyan.

Mukhang interesadong paglaanan ng kuro-kuro dahil sa halos hati rin ang reaksyon ng madla, mula sa presyo ng ticket (na umaabot sa tumataginting na apat na libong piso) hanggang sa pag-kuwestiyon sa adhikain ng MCA Music na layon ipagbigkis ang mga musikero ng bansa.

Say, nine months could actually spell a whole lot of difference. I remember hearing Carousel Casualties as a plain spectator (well, I still am now) on a random WAT UP gig last June and they actually sound different way back then. Probably the changes in lineup had taken effect for real.
