More On Norwegian Wrestling Federation

Hello everyone!

 

The Norwegian Wrestling Federation (Norges Wrestlingforbund in Finnish), a wrestling promotion, was founded in 2001 by Erik Isaksen.  Their first show took place (according to Cagematch) in October 2001 with seven matches on the show.

 

NWF has done really well with what appears to be close to 175 shows over 24 years (seven to eight shows per year).  The promotion has four championship titles (NWF Heavyweight, NWF Tag Team, European Heavyweight and Cruiserweight).

 

From what this fan sees, the promotion's popular shows are Vendetta, Heteslag and PowerSlam.

 

Popular and well known wrestlers that wrestle in the promotion are Inferno (Rayo and Kym), The Headhunters (Adrian Storm and T-Jay), Hannibal, Robert Star and Espen Olsen.  There are definitely more but the ones mentioned have won championships at one point or another.

 

The PowerSlam show the past November drew over 650 fans, their largest ever.  Watching a little video and seeing the wrestlers that are part of the promotion, the future is more than bright for this company.

 

NWF can be seen On Twitch.  Also, under Norges Wrestlingforbund, they are on You Tube.  Their next show is on March 1st with the show, Trouble In The Tiger City.  There will be two shows that day.  This blogger will share more about the show and the wrestlers involved in the coming days and weeks.  

 

For more information, and tickets, please visit the Norges Wrestlingforbund Facebook page.  I've linked it below for everyone!  Thank you.

Norwegian Wrestling Federation

Tomorrow, this blogger will go outside the box and share a promotion that Southeast Asia and wrestling fans may very well like.

 

A few days ago, I came across a promotion called the Norwegian Wrestling Federation out of Oslo, Norway (or Norges Wrestlingforbund in Norwegian language).  The promotion is celebrating its 24th anniversary and is going stronger than ever.

 

There is one tag team in particular that I'll be sharing.  The team is called Inferno.  Kym, a wrestler from Thailand with experience of one and a half years, and Rayo Flores, a wrestler born in Argentina, are an up and coming tag team in the promotion.  Inferno has had a taste of championship success in winning the NWF Tag Team title this past November.  More on Kym, Rayo, and NWF tomorrow.

SETUP Thailand Bangkok Navigation Update #11

Hello everyone!

 

There is a disclaimer that this blogger should post in every wrestling show.

 

The disclaimer is that a wrestling show is subject to change regarding a wrestling card.  This happened with this fan last Saturday night while attending a NJPW wrestling show live and it's happening with the upcoming SETUP show this coming Saturday night.

 

Originally, the singles number one contender match for the IWA Japan World Heavyweight Championship was supposed to be between Shota and Monomoth.  However, it is now a Triple Threat "Decision" Match between Shota, Monomoth and the MYPW SEA Champion, Shivam.

 

I'm not going into the details as to why this match was changed.  In the future, maybe this fan will discuss it.  For the fans who read my blog, please check the SETUP Thailand Pro Wrestling Facebook page, You Tube or any other social media platform as to the decision.

 

In the meantime, Bangkok Navigation, as this fan knows will still be on Saturday night at The Circus Studio beginning at 6:30pm.  Have a good day everyone!

Grapplemax Amplify 6 Update #2

Two matches have been added for Grapplemax Pro Wrestling show, Amplify 6.  The show is scheduled for Saturday, January 25th at the Grapplemax Studios.  Doors open at 6:45pm with the first match beginning at 7:30pm.

 

The first match added will feature two wrestlers that are among the rising stars coming out of the NWE Pro Wrestling Academy.  Melvin will make his in ring debut against NWE Graduate Justin in a singles match.

 

The second added match will feature Ming Rui against Julian, two wrestlers who have been part of tag teams.  This match, however, will be a singles encounter.

Wrestling Seminar In Singapore

Trent Seven and numerous featured wrestlers from SPW, ROR, Grapplemax, PUSO Wrestling, Malaysia Pro Wrestling and Vietnam Pro Wrestling attending.  Thank you to Carey Wasz from Vietnam Pro Wrestling who took the photo and to SPW who was host for the seminar.

 

Hello everyone.

 

First off, thank you to the numerous wrestling fans in messaging me over the past few days.  They were concerned, especially living in California where there is a horrible wildfire still burning.  The fire is roughly 400 miles south from where I live.  Several of my friends and relatives do live in Los Angeles County and are safe as this post is being put together.

 

In Northern California, we could very easily go through what our friends in the south are experiencing.  We've been getting the winds.  The fact that we've had rainfall over the past month has helped unlike in Los Angeles.  Again, thank you everyone for the concern!  

 

Last weekend when thinking, and looking, for something positive to post,  this blogger learned and saw photos of a seminar that was hosted by Singapore Pro Wrestling.

 

It's been mentioned to this fan that most of the wrestlers, in the above photo, are champions now or were champions at one point in their career.  Also, it was an amazing training session.  Trent, who was an NXT champion, took the session "to another level."  

 

Again, thank you to Singapore Pro Wrestling for hosting as well as Casey for taking the photo.  Casey has provided great photos of VPW shows for several years now!  Also, thank you to The Eurasian Dragon, not only for the okay, but sharing his experience with a couple of wrestlers from ROR.

 

Since doing this blog, there have been times like this throughout Southeast Asia promotions.  This blogger has seen it in photos and/or video at various shows.  There have been the great "Meet And Greets" that have had wrestlers from outside the country take part in.  Also, having seminars are definitely priceless no matter the experience a wrestler has.

 

This is another feel good story in a year where pro wrestling in Southeast Asia will continue to grow.  And it's only two weeks into 2025!

Grapplemax Amplify 6 Update

Hello everyone!

 

Grapplemax Pro Wrestling Singapore will host their first wrestling show of 2025 on Saturday, January 25th.  The event, Amplify 6 will take place at the Grapplemax Studios beginning at 7:30pm.  Doors open 45 minutes earlier at 6:45pm.

 

One match has just been announced, and a good one.  A three way Grapplemax Openweight Championship #1 Contender's Match will feature Divya, Ben Sachak and Christian.  Currently, Hotshot is the Openweight Champion.

 

Ban Sachak has wrestled mostly in tag team competition and was very close along with Big Dave in winning the tag team championship a couple of months ago.  Now in singles competition, he's looking for his first Grapplemax Openweight Championship.

 

Christian has held one title, the Wrestle Square Cruiserweight Championship.  He held the title for 266 days, the fourth longest in the belt's history.  He has also done well in tag team action, particularly the team of Ships Ahoy with his partner, Sarah.

 

Divya, from India, is a five time women's CWE Diva titleholder.  She has wrestled in the Grapplemax shows over the past six months mostly in tag action.  She is definitely looking at making Grapplemax as well as wrestling history with another major title around her waist.

 

This blogger has seen video of all three wrestlers. Definitely, this should be a very good, and interesting match to watch live.

 

For more information, including tickets for the show, please visit the Grapplemax Pro Wrestling Singapore Facebook page.  Also, Grapplemax can be found on You Tube.  Please subscribe!  Thank you.

Hello everyone!

 

Here are the results from Singapore Pro Wrestling's event, SPW: Champions Never Yield 3. The event took place on Friday, January 10th before a sold out crowd at the Foo Chow Building in Singapore.

 

The event was "wild" and entertaining from the videos seen.  Also, the island had rain, am told, the entire day.  Despite the heavy traffic in the area, the show went off really well.  Thank you to SPW, the staff, performers in and out of Singapore, and the fans for a great and memorable evening.  Also, thank you for providing the results.  The next SPW show, am told, will be in March.

SETUP Thailand Bangkok Navigation Update #9

Hello everyone!

 

SETUP Thailand's upcoming show, Bangkok Navigation, will take place this coming Saturday night at The Circus Studio G Village in Bangkok.  Doors open at 6pm with the first match at 6:30pm.

 

This fan is excited about the upcoming IWA Japan x SETUP Tag Team match.  The Good Deal (Anont Alonzo & Mr. Suchart), the current champions, face Blick Drewz and Flame Drake for the coveted championship.

 

Blick Drewz and Flame Drake are new to SETUP Thailand but not new to the wrestling scene in Thailand.  Flame Drake mentioned to me recently that Blick was his senior wrestler when they were at TOP Dojo, one of Thailand's other promotions in the country.

 

Also, Flame Drake and Mr. Suchart are friends and it was mentioned that both wrestlers were fans at SETUP's inaugural wrestling show back in 2020.

 

Since this blogger has mentioned three of the four wrestlers, I want to mention Anont Alonzo for a moment.  There is no question that he's a very good quality wrestler whether it's in singles or tag team competition.  I've seen it on video.  His opponents know this as well as the fans watching.

 

It will be interesting how the match plays out.  If it was me instead of either Flame Drake or Mr. Suchart, I'm trying to help our team win. Definitely, the importance is not only winning the match, but either winning or retaining the title.

 

The fans are definitely looking forward to the outcome of this and the other matches on the show.

 

Front row seats are sold out for Saturday's show.  Please visit the SETUP Thailand Pro Wrestling Facebook page on remaining tickets.  Thank you!
