Well, what can I say? A new e-home (somewhat), a new place to keep Crimson Ai stuff, and of course version 3 of the kitty blog. I’ve been having trouble keeping up with blogging because of RL work, but hopefully I get another place to share my opinions and what-not.
To begin with, last few weeks Phillipine b-ball fans actually got a glimpse of how the San Miguel Corp.-backed national basketball team would actually square off against our Asian neighbors. Honestly, I was surprised as to how the players actually reacted to the opposition. Clearly this team, which would actually be competing for an Olympic slot in Japan within the next few weeks, could give I think even the main Chinese national team a run for it’s zennies. Now only if we can stay consistent with a team that can have Jimmy Alapag, Mark Caguioa, Danny Seigle, Kerby Raymundo and Asi Taulava on the floor at the same time….
Chris Benoit. May he indeed be forgiven. We know he did something TERRIBLY wrong, yes, but why the heck do we have has-beens who haven’t been seen in a squared (or hexagonal) ring for at least two years blaming the industry for what the Rabid Wolverine went through? I’m still amazed how media would like to treat something that has happened 5-10 years ago as being the status quo up to this current day. As a wrestling fan, who may not know the ins and outs of the industry but at least know that it is indeed sports-entertainment, I hope that these has-beens can be forgiven by other people because they are still clinging to their pasts. And I also hope that these media practitioners, who only know wrestlers BY NAME (well, maybe except The Rock and Hulk Hogan) just focus back on whatever is happening in the Middle East.
Speaking of wrestling, E3 just went past the corner and boy, the nice things keep on popping up. THQ revealed some images from WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2008, and it sure made my blood rush. Check out the pic below (courtesy of IGN):
As you could possibly see in the picture on the left, that beer-drinking brawler we’ve come to love known as The Sandman finally makes his next-gen appearance. And among those stuff that has been confirmed are the appearances of the charismatic enigma Jeff Hardy and a new finally reanimated RKO. So yeah, it won’t look like a Diamond Cutter rip-off of some sort. Somewhat. Now all we need are CM Punk, Elijah Burke and Marcus Cor Von and we’re all set.
