The 2024 Pro Wrestling year in Southeast Asia has taken off so far with several promotions doing big shows in China, Singapore and Thailand for example. Well, in the Philippines, there is another one headed your way!
Manila Wrestling Federation will make history in the country at their first event, Kasaysayan, on Sunday, April 14th. The event will be held at the UP Film Institute, UP Dillman beginning at 4:30pm.
The event will be a co-presentation of wrestlers with the Manila Wrestling Federation and Kyushu Pro Wrestling, based out of Fukuoka, Japan.
Recently before this announcement, this fan wanted to learn more about the promotion and the style of wrestling. Kyushu Pro Wrestling was founded in October 2007 and actually launched in July 2008 by Ryota Chikuzen. The promotion, a non profit organization, has been very successful in the 15 years. They have two active championships in the singles and tag team championships. To my understanding, the promotion is very much involved in the community with charitable work.
If anyone has heard of a wrestler by the name of Tajiri, he is a very familiar name in Japanese pro wrestling as well as in America. Tajiri wrestled in ECW and with WWE several years back and is very well known throughout all of Asia.
This fan wasn't aware of this but Tajiri signed with Kyushu Pro Wrestling in January 2003. Then he won the Kyushi Pro Wrestling Championship at Jokyo 2023 the same night!
So, on April 14th, the kapafeds and pinoy wrestling fans will get a chance to see stars such as Jake De Leon, Fabio Makisig, Tajiri, perhaps the current Kyushi Pro Wrestling champion, Kodai Nazaki and more at the event.
