There are a number of matches this fan will be interested in coming up at MWF's 2023 Noche Buena. One of them will definitely be "Danger" Rex Lawin versus Ho Ho Lun. It is the number one contender's match for the MWF Pinoy Wrestling Championship.
First, we'll talk about Ho Ho Lun. Per Cagematch, he began his career in 2009. His promotion currently is Dragon Gate. This fan remembers him from back in the year 2016 when he was with WWE NXT for a short time. Then, he would move on to Asia where he has been successful.
It wasn't until I started following the Manila Wrestling Federation when he had a couple of matches against the first MWF Pinoy Wrestling Champion, Robin Sane. He would win the title at MWF Republika in 2019.
Ho Ho Lun was able to defend the MWF title twice successfully against Khayl Sison and Tajiri later in the year. However, because of the worldwide pandemic, he would forfeit the title in 2022. Up until now, Ho Ho Lun never lost the title by pinfall or submission. Also, it will be about three years since he was last in the Philippines wrestling.
Lun, though away from the Philippines, has wrestled in numerous Southeast Asia countries over the last several years. Recently, he has wrestled in shows in Hong Kong and will be wrestling in Singapore later in the month. So, he hasn't been inactive in any way.
Regarding Rex Lawin, he has a quite a career. I believe from memory that he started in 2017 back before the MWF title was established.
In a tournament to establish the first MWF Championship, Lawin lost to the eventual first champion, Robin Sane in the semi final round in October 2018.
The two (Robin Sane and Rex Lawin) would meet twice more after Sane won the title in December 2018. It's not that the chances have not been there.
I've always thought, from the matches on video, that Rex has what it takes to be a champion. Sometimes, one big win can put you over the hump.
His career took a little break in September 2022. He lost a "Loser Leaves Phillipines Wrestling" match to Dabid Ravena at the Road To Fate show.
However, Rex has looked good since his return to action at the 2023 Road To Fate show last August. He looks a little quicker and more aggressive than before.
Ho Ho Lun is one big obstacle in the way for Rex. However, one big win away has also been an obstacle. This fan is not predicting a Rex Lawin win. However, the kapafeds who will be in attendance at the PMC Spotlight Theater on Sunday, December 3rd will be in his corner. Definitely, this will be a great match!
