In a couple of days, it will be five years since this fan found out about pro wrestling in Southeast Asia, particularly in the Philippines. That is when a friend of mine shared about the Manila Wrestling Federation and Philippine Wrestling Revolution to me.
A lot has happened since that time. A few days after finding out, Robin Sane would win the first MWF Pinoy Wrestling Championship. It just so happened to be the Noche Buena show. The finals for the inaugural title was in December 2018.
This fan was going to visit the Philippines, and hopefully attend an MWF show in 2020. Well, the plans were delayed around two years because of the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic that took place.
However, fast forward to December of last year. This fan finally got to see his first show, the 2022 MWF Noche Buena event at the Peta Theater Center in Quezon City. Fabio Makisig would win a thrilling title match over Jake De Leon to win the title.
Fast forward to 2023. Manila Wrestling Federation has had a really good year. It began with Ken Cifer winning the Chilly Willy Cup in a tournament. That was a part of MWF's Kasaysayan. There was Gigil At Romansa, Republika, "Lights, Kamera, Aksyon", Road To Fate, Tuloy Ang Laban and Todos Los Wrestling. All of the shows mentioned have done well. On top of all of this, Manila Wrestling Federation secured a television spot with Rock Of Manila TV. The channel can be seen throughout the country.
Once again, at this time of the year, the final show of the year, Noche Buena will take place at the PMC Spotlight Theater in Circuit Makati. The date is Sunday, December 3rd beginning at 4:30pm (doors open at 4pm).
The featured match of the show is a first for this fan. It is an Team vs. Team Elimination Match with the last wrestler remaining being the MWF Pinoy Wrestling Champion. The title is still currently held by Fabio Makisig.
On one side, you have Oro Plata Mata with Jake DeLeon, Main Maxx, Dabid Ravena and Kurt Jiminez w/Mr. Sy. On the other side, you have Team MWF with Fabio Makisig, Robin Sane, Nigel San Jose and Danny Zamora.
There are fans that will probably assume that Fabio Makisig and Jake DeLeon will be the last two wrestlers. That is a normal thing. However, I'm sensing that something unusual or unpredictable will happen. This fan will leave it at that.
The good thing about this match unlike a fatal three or four way is this. Fabio going in as the champion is at a disadvantage, for sure. Despite the fact that this is a team vs. team match, there are seven other wrestlers that want what Fabio has. Fabio has to be pinned or submit in order to be eliminated and lose the title. In a fatal match, Fabio could lose the title without being pinned or submit.
This fan will watch the match very closely as the other matches on the show. For those of you that haven't bought a ticket or tickets, please check the Manila Wrestling Federation - MWF page on Facebook. The event is very close to being sold out!
See you guys next weekend!
