Dillinger gets WWE treatment

Tropang Texters forward Jared Dillinger got what he expected—a WWE-style encounter against Rain Or Shine.
Dillinger had earlier made a quip about the Elasto Painters’ penchant for “WWE-style” moves on the hardwood.
He was alluding to Rain or Shine’s reputation as a tough, physical team.
In Game One of the best-of-seven series, Dillinger go a first-hand taste of the action.
“The funny thing is I joked about the WWE thing and look what I got — I got body slammed,” Dillinger said.
Dillinger was involved in a scuffle with Ronnie Matias in the fourth quarter, resulting in a flagrant foul penalty one for the Rain or Shine forward.
But Talk ‘N Text’s daredevil forward doesn’t take it personally.
“I know Ronnie is a good person and has no intention of hurting me. It just happened during the course of the game when the game is getting tighter,” said Dillinger, who won best player honors after scoring 13 points.
“I expect these things to come in the series.”
Dillinger expects the temperature to rise even further in the succeeding matches.
“This is absolutely going to be a lot more physical in Game Two. I just have to come out and play hard,” he said.
