                    [Title] => Wildcards shake up pool meet
                    [Summary] => Only five Filipino cue artists had automatic tickets to compete in the 41-nation, nine-day $350,000 World Pool Championships ending this Sunday in Taipei.


Seeded were Puyat Sports stablemates Efren (Bata) Reyes, Francisco (Django) Bustamante, Warren Kiamco and Lee Van Corteza. Additionally, veteran Jose (Amang) Parica of Team Solar Sports received a special invitation from event organizer Matchroom Sport to participate in the 128-man tournament.

Solar Sports producer Erick Tam, broadcaster Vitto Lazatin and I didn’t know we were featured by US commentators Al Michaels and Glenn (Doc) Rivers–until we started to get text messages from our cellphones.

I heard a generous benefactor arranged to upgrade the Northwest economy tickets of Manny, Jinkee and business manager Rod Nazario to business class. Dapat lang. Manny deserves to travel in style–after all, he’s a national treasure.

Solar’s publicist par excellence Arnold Arandilla excitedly told me all the US games will be shown, plus other contests involving hot contenders, on IBC-13 and cable Channel 29. Hostilities are slated Aug. 21-Sept. 1 in Puerto Rico.

Solar TV’s USA (Ultimate in Suspense and Action) cable channel is allocating 12 hours of airtime for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) action every week starting today in response to reverberating public clamor to bring back sports’ enduring version of the telenovela in a big way on the tube.

That’s not all. Solar’s top brass says in April, WWE’s high-rating "Smackdown" show–entertaining seven million viewers in the US alone each week–will be aired on IBC-13.

Solar Entertainment Corp. is putting on National Basketball Association (NBA) fare 12 hours a day on its all-sports cable channel starting next month and when the new season begins, free-TV will air two games a week in the main course of a year-round diet that’s guaranteed to whet the appetite of every cage diehard from Aparri to Jolo.

The blockbuster NBA package will be announced in lavish rites at the NBC Tent in the Fort, Makati, tonight.
