...I want to see the Undertaker in the upcoming SmackDown/ECW live tour next week in Manila!

It's been three years since I saw him, and too bad my seat wasn't close enough to the ring so I couldn't take a good glimpse at him. This time, I'm preparing something big in the event that he shows up, but I think him appearing at the Araneta Coliseum is just wishful thinking, as his whereabouts are still unknown...

Oh well, I just hope that he can come, even if he doesn't wrestle on that night. I just want to show him something, if that's even possible.

After almost a year of absence in this good ol' WWE Universe profile of mine (I recall that it was still WWE Fan Nation before I took on a hiatus, but what the heck), now I'm back to tell a story. Well, it's not a love story, nor does it concern the welfare of the WWE, but it's something related.

I'm thrilled to know that WWE is going back to Manila this July! It's been three years since they came here, and more than a decade before that when they visited us again. I can still recall the chills I felt when the Undertaker came out of the backstage curtains to grace us Creatures of the Night/Phenom's Death Crew with his presence. Darn, I will never forget that night.

I'm thinking of watching it again this July, but this time, I'm thinking of watching it from a closer view. Good thing I was able to save some cash for a lower box seating, but I still haven't bought myself a ticket. Boy, I gotta buy one and soon!

And when I do get to watch the WWE Live tour two months from now, I think I shall wear my Undertaker costume.

And speaking of costume, here it is, my Undertaker costume. It's not perfectly accurate, as I just used makeshift wardrobe for this.



I've worn this costume four times already, and I don't think I will ever get tired of wearing it at events we call "cosplay conventions", as it is my ultimate statement as to how dedicated I am as a fan of the Undertaker. And apparently because of that dedication, I've been invited to stage in cosplay skits to portray the Undertaker and engage in staged "wrestling matches". Not only did I get to dress up as the Phenom, I also got to learn the lesson "Don't try this at home"; well, technically, I wasn't at home when we did it.

Opportunity knocked into me when JACKTV, the cable channel that shows WWE in the Philippines, hosted its first "animation festival". They organized a cosplay contest, subdivided into three categories: one of them was "WWE Superstars". It was a no-brainer to me that I would join as the Undertaker, and I was surprised to find out that there are two others who joined, portraying John Morrison and Carlito, respectively.



However, I found it disappointing that there were only three of us in that category, and I was the odds-on-favorite by the audience, hence the reason for my victory. Oh well, too bad that the event didn't get enough advertisement, but still, I had fun, though I had to keep "in character".

And so, here I am now, thinking of wearing the Undertaker costume for the fifth time at the Araneta Coliseum, hoping that THE Undertaker would see me show my loyalty and homage to his legacy and legendary greatness. I just also hope that he comes by come July 10th. Then again, the spirit of the Phenom lives well deep within me anyway.

Okay, so much for my return blog. I'm going back to my Multiply for now. Until next time, I guess.

This might be too late, but I posted this blog in order to congratulate the folliwing people:

Triple H, for successfully defending his WWE title against Edge;

Vickie Guerrero, for making the best executive decision to date by reinstating the Undertaker;

The Undertaker, for returning to the WWE and exact revenge against Edge;

Edge, for drawing the ire of his wife, Vickie Guerrero; and later the wrath of the Undertaker;

Colin Delaney, for switching sides with reluctant allies, the World's Strongest Champion Mark Henry and WWE Hall of Famer Tony Atlas, thus screwing Tommy Dreamer at the Great American Bash and as a result drawing the wrath of the ECW Original;

Tommy Dreamer, for giving Colin Delaney what he just deserved after being ungrateful to him;

Mark Henry, for being the first one to hold the new ECW title;]

Matt Hardy, for gaining the opportunity to win the ECW title from Mark Henry at Summerslam;

Kane, for still keeping us puzzled wbout who is alive or dead;

Umaga, for awakening the sleeping giant in the Big Show;

Todd Grisham, for being named the new play-by-play announcer of ECW (it's about time they replaced Mike Adamle, anyway);

D'Lo Brown, on his successful WWE return;

Michael Cole, for getting a shot at the World Tag Team Championship (LOL);

John Morrison, for being one of the sexiest men in the WWE (in terms of physique and charisma), thus deservingly having the title "Shaman of Sexy" (will you please give me tips on my diet? :D);

"The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, for debuting his new online show Stylin' and Profilin' with Ric Flair (and being inducted into this year's Hall of Fame, by the way: darn, this IS too late for a congratulations...);

Freddie Prinze, Jr., for being hired as a member of the WWE Creative Team (you just got the job I would kill for, man! LOL);

Stephanie McMahon, for giving birth to their second child, Murphy Claire;

Jenny McCarthy and Generation Rescue, for finding a great tag team partner in the form of World Wrestling Entertainment in their battle against autism;

and finally, Mike Adamle, for being named the new RAW General Manager and blowing up a possible WrestleMania 25 highlight by announcing John Cena vs. Batista at Summerslam.

My warmest kudos!

(Pardon the sarcasm for some parts of my blog; I can't help but be so. XD)

I don't want you to think that I'm being the smart guy, but you see, three of my predictions were true regarding Night of Champions. And of course, they're all about championships.

First will be about the World Tag Team titles. I just knew it: Cody Rhodes is Ted DiBiase's partner against Cody Rhodes and Hardcore Holly. Wait: did I just say Cody Rhodes is Ted DiBiase's partner? Heck, who am I kidding?

Anyway, that's what happened. Cody betrayed his mentor Bob Holly and cost them their tag team titles, only to win it back with The Million Dollar Son, if you will. So that makes Cody the first person ever in the history of the WWE to lose his title to himself and win it on the same night.

I say this is the best move WWE did for Cody, and I mean it career-wise. With all due respect to Holly, but Cody's reign as co-tag champ with him had been rotting and fast, and we've alsready seen so many teacher-and-student tag teams, but they all didn't last long.

That move in turn turned Cody heel. So what? If not for that "betrayal", we wouldn't be seeing an upstart team of young guns who will sure-fire make it big in the WWE, not to mention that they came from the great bloodlines of "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes and."The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase Sr.

Next will be about the ECW Championship. Kane was drafted to RAW, bringing the extreme gold with him to the red brand, only to lose it a week later to "The World's Strongest Man", Mark Henry. The Big Show, who was the first one to challenge Kane, was left behind.

Just after he won his first ECW crown, I had already foreseen that Kane's career will start winding down on the rebel brand. I think his move back to RAW will serve him well; they just have to repackage him back to be as dominant as the masked behemoth. No, not necessarily with the mask.

It's about time that Mark Henry held gold. It's been nine years since he tasted a championship (that lasted for just a month), and take note: the ECW title is just his second championship working for the company. Whether you love or hate him, it's really about time WWE gave "The Strong One" his due.

What about the Big Show? Well, they have been teasing a rivalry between him and Mark Henry. It's also about time that they pursue it big-time. And wait until we see The Great Khali, Big Daddy V and Umaga in that already big mix soon.

Then there's the World Heavyweight Championship. It's not that I hate Edge as the champ, but I think the reason why SmackDown's not having a lot of home viewers recently is that they're prolonging the "Familia" angle too much. Yeah, they're providing livelihood for the late great Eddie Guerrero's immediate family by bringing Vickie in as SD's General Manager, but at the same time they are tarnishing her reputation as the Hall of Famer's wife. Wait, that's the point: controversy creates $$$$!

Anyway, I can foresee that the "Familia" angle is going to end and soon, now that it's clear to us that the world isn't big enough fot two world champions - and egos - at that. And if I may predict, the person they "banished" from the WWE would likely return with a vengeance. And also, if I may recall, Vengeance was the original name of Night of Champions. I'm just saying.

While that leaves RAW with no major championship title, what could be the fate of WWE's flagship brand? When will RAW's newest member CM Punk cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase? And who will he cash it in against? I do hope it's against Edge, if the Undertaker decides not to return yet (well, the'yre hiding that from us too). And if not, are you up for a title unification, everyone?

The future is for us to behold, and for the so-called "people in the know" to spoil.

As far as I'm concerned, the Undertaker's career is not over after One Night Stand. I think that he just needs time to recuperate from his physical injuries; but his mind games are still not over. I mean, even his fans don't know when he will return.

Yep, he's currently a member of the WWE alumni, but my "insider sense" is telling me that it doesn't mean his wrestling career is over. I mean, If I were the Undertaker, as long as I can wrestle, I will not rest in peace (pardon the pun). Besides, I think he would want his WrestleMania streak to go on to 20-0. Just look at the list of his victims from the wallpaper I made.

Besides, I still haven't seen him in serious competition against John Cena (even though I see that a lot of fans wouldn't want that). I mean, they're pushing Cena so much, and Taker's victory against this guy at a WrestleMania will be worth the money, if it's ever contested.

The bottomline is, you can't spell WWE without the Undertaker. Don't take it literally, though.

Anyway, I'll make a bet: he shall return in grand fashion to ruin Edge and Vickie's wedding on July 11. Then again, if they are going to pursue that storyline, then they might as well have Edge successfully defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Batista at Night of Champions.

But what about the WWE Championship? Do they plan to make Cena win it from Triple H so RAW can regain their major title? And do they also plan to make Kane lose the ECW Championship to either Mark Henry or the Big Show? I mean, something's really gotta give!

But I'll just watch Night of Champions and see how things turn out. Personally, I would want to see every major championship be defended at all brands. And I also would want the Undertaker back in the hunt. Call me selfish, but I'm just a fan.
