long overdue

this post is long overdue, but it's better late than never.

i do have some television problems at home. you see, i don't have cable tv. cable tv = additional expenses for moi. plus, my television set is soooo old, it can only have up to 30 channels. i want to buy an lcd tv but that's not my expense priority right now. and the reception is bad, GMA and ETC are the only channels i could watch clearly.

the point is, i wasn't able to watch Wrestlemania 26 earlier because of my poor-ness. (waaah!) so last night i was in batangas. and at about 10:30PM i was about to sleep when my dad knocked at my door and said two words -- "Wrestlemania 26". hallelujah! i'll finally be able to watch! (jusko sa wakas! aaaaaahhh!) can you feel it?! adrenalin baby!

of course i know some of the results already (the important ones haha), but you still get a different high when you watch it. i didn't get to see the start. too bad i missed Triple H's match :( luckily, i was able to catch the middle of bret & vince's match. if you look at it objectively, it wasn't all spectacular. parang normal match lang. but if you consider that it is Bret Hart -- THE HITMAN -- who is in the ring, you can take all the pyrotechnics away and still be in awe.

then there was Chris Jericho and Edge's match. hmm.. what can i say? it really wasn't a match that would be my favorite. first, i don't like Edge, just because he stole Lita from Matt. HAHAHA! =)) yes, i am biased. Lita and Matt fan ata to! Team Xtreme FOREVER! hahahaha! as for Y2J, i don't know... i used to really like him. now he seems to have lost some of his sparkle :( i'm not really sure, is it because he's a heel now? or is it because he cut his hair? HAHAHAHAHA!

and then Batista and John Cena. ok, so i'm not really a fan of bulky wrestlers. i prefer the smaller, high flyers (Jeff Hardy, HBK, Bret, John Morrison - you get the picture). well, except Taker and Triple H. but batista's OK. he's huge, but he's not just all brawn (sarap pare!). as for cena, i don't like him in terms of wrestling really. yes, he's strong, but his moves can be repetitive. and what kind of finishing move is that?? not really mindblowing in my opinion. and i do think that he is over-rated. but i admit that it's amazing how he could hype up the crowd! talk about charisma and passion - he's got it! so i give him good grades for that. oh yea, i did notice how good he looks when he smiles. love the dimples! congratulations new champ! (but why did batista have to tap out??? bakettt?)

and finally! Career vs Streak. Shawn Michaels vs the Undertaker. way before Wrestlemania, when i learned that HBK and Taker is going to have a rematch, i told my friend "kinakabahan ako sa rematch na yan ah..." because the year before, HBK and Taker had the best match EVER! sobrang ang galing galing! finisher after finisher. counter after counter. and just when you thought it's over, one shoulder gets off the mat. sobrang stressful pero ang galing! and HBK ALMOST broke taker's winning streak. and as much as i love shawn michaels, i don't think ANYONE should EVER break taker's streak. so just thinking of a rematch... wah grabe. 

and i wasn't disappointed in Wrestlemania 26. HBK's entrance was simple, classic. no frilly extras. i love it! and taker too! no monks with torches. he just changed his trenchcoat and replaced his hat with a hood. but anyway, Undertaker's entrance is always amazing. isn't it awesome how that first bell goes off and crowd goes "WOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH!"? oh oh! i think shawn got a hot oil treatment. SO. GORGEOUS! after sweet chin musics and tombstones and last rides and an ankle lock (matagal ko nang hindi nakita yun ah) and hell's gate and kung ano ano pa... 18-0 woohoo!! (although it would've been better if i didn't know the results. mas exciting sana.) as for HBK, he will be missed, definitely. but i am glad he had a graceful exit. i mean, that would be the best last match -- main event in Wrestlemania. and he was teary-eyed after the match (or was he crying already?). waaah... 25 years of captivating fans all over the world. thank you shawn.
