Who would've thought these four dudes are making music that's even beyond their age?

For the first time since 2141286418 years, we have probably seen a best product from the World Wrestling Entertainment. Hell, this edition of Royal Rumble delivered well, and in my opinion, just next to WrestleMania XXX in 2014.

We have nine matches slated in a somewhat 6-hour and 15-minute affair that has sent few people in either their respective homes or that viewing party at Skinny Mike's in Bonifacio Global City in Taguig  as Royal Rumble has become the first wrestling affair (in case they didn't attend PWR's first 2018 gig).

The Pre-take: WWE Royal Rumble 2018

01/28/2018 11:25:23 PM

It's been a long while since we tackled anything that involves wrestling here at The SlickMaster's Files, from WWE No mercy last year to how did Alpha vs. Omega delivered a real quality wrestling atch after so long, to the locality's end last year with PWR Vendetta, and recently, how a third promotion here in the Philippines will fare up as the “realest deal of them all.”

That being said, allow me to make it up for all of the rundown of slams since the last quarter of 2017 as I recover from a long-time lingering mental block that has been hindering me to writer something else as The SlickMaster (Man, too much preoccupation had taken its toll on me!).

'17 Nights To Remember (Part 3)

01/21/2018 07:25:38 PM

Regardless of how fiery it has been on all cylinders, it's undeniable that the year 2017 has been a wonderful year. Right in the midst of the mid-2010s band explosion, we have seen it brought a lot of good shits in our Philippine world of music (and we mean quality here, by the way). 

Yours truly have made it to a number of gigs curated by various production outfits (in fact, more than I attended for the past two years). These also include some of the biggest concerts and music festivals that has solely focused on out homegrown talents. That said, here are 17 nights that really left a mark in '17... well, at least for me.
