If you're planning to go, please check the Malaysia Pro Wrestling Facebook page for more information. The event takes place this coming Saturday night at the KuAsh Theater TTDI beginning at 6pm.
Thank you everyone!
Jake De Leon, off two major matches with Zack Sabre Jr. and Shaukat in Malaysia, will face Chelsea Marie in a return match from the Pinoy Wrestling Night a few weeks back.
JDL is now on his second 100 matches of his career, and he's not taking this upcoming match lightly. Shaukat found that out just recently when the two wrestlers butted heads at APAC Wrestling's last show.
Also, this fan believes that Chelsea Marie is training well for what will be her biggest match to date.
For more on this show, including tickets, please visit the PUSO Wrestling Facebook page. Also, if interested in sponsoring this show, please email Puso Wrestling at pusowrestling@gmail.com for details.
This fan will be here in Quezon City for the next three weeks, including the show!
Wrestling fans are aware about the upcoming five-on-five tag match between Team Red Ollero and Team Mike Madrigal.
The formation of this match between both teams has been brewing for quite awhile now. The consensus is that Team Red will walk all over Team Mike. Team Red, on paper, has the more experienced wrestlers.
However, this blogger would never rule out a team led by the FPW Champion, Mike Madrigal. Case in point would be a recent wrestling show in Malaysia with APAC Wrestling.
In a recent four way match for the FPW title in Malaysia, Mike battled off three quality wrestlers to retain the title. Madrigal has been the champion now for over a year and he doesn't plan on losing it anytime soon!
Though excited about the upcoming match, there is an interesting thing that is going on with FPW right now.
A "new" wrestler by the name of Jason Rex won his first match at the last FPW Astig show this past July. Known previously as Brad Cruz in a former promotion, Jason Rex is someone that could make a lot of noise in FPW in future shows.
Jason Rex is aligned with LegenDarius as this post is being loaded for fans to read. Knowing LegenDarius as I do, the transformation will go very well. Jason Rex is someone to watch out for. He could go all the way up the ladder to get a title shot for the FPW title in the future!
Anyway, for more information on the show, and tickets, please visit the FPW - Filipino Pro Wrestling Facebook page. Thank you.
Here are the results from SETUP Thailand Pro Wrestling's IWA Japan 30th Anniversary Show - Hardcore Forever. The event took place this past Saturday at The Circus Studio in Bangkok.
The show was streamed on You Tube. This blogger definitely enjoyed it. Every once in awhile, it was a little hard to follow but definitely knew what was going on. The final match was a little confusing and chaotic. Thank you to SETUP Thailand for the stream. All the best in the upcoming September show!
Jonathan Johnson d. Monomoth and Thanomsak Toba to retain the SETUP Thailand Openweight Championship.
Paska d. John Day in a No Disqualification match.
Gym Bros (Sunny Z and Benji) d KWO in an IWA SETUP Tag Team Championship #1 Contender's Match.
August Artois d. Shivam to retain the FIP World Championship.
Matcha d. Wondergirl to retain the SETUP All Asia Women's Championship.
Shivam d. The Wonderboy to win MYPW Southeast Asia Championship!
The Good Deal d. CDK and UMA Corp to win the IWA SETUP World Tag Team Championship in a three way match.
Ultramantis Black d. Chris Brookes for the IWA Japan World Heavyweight Championship.
This fan loves wrestling history. I've found that databases such as Wikipedia, Cagematch and Wrestledata are good. However, at times, they are incomplete! Well, instead of complaining about it, this fan intends to do something about it.
The new blog is actually now incorporated into Pro Wrestling Today. All the regular posts from the deleted blog are now posted in the pages section of this blog. If one looks at the top and right second of the blog, you'll see the different pages. Please feel free to check it out. That is not all.
Other than PWR (which I'm working on currently), most of the results are complete with the exception of FPW (I have partial results there). Soon, the results will be posted in the pages section as well. This is not all either.
Since this has been a Southeast Asia blog, my intentions are to get as many results from other promotions as possible and get them on this site. Again, the three databases mentioned are good, but they could be better.
For example, there is something incomplete right now regarding the SETUP 24/7 Title. It isn't a major title. However, there's a question as to who is the actual titleholder. This blogger will have the answer probably next week since SETUP Thailand has a show on the weekend!
This blogger loves doing this blog and it's for everyone worldwide. When checking, no one currently is doing a wrestling blog in Southeast Asia. I'll keep everyone updated on the progress.
One final note, and this is important... If anyone sees an error on any match result, please FM me on Facebook and I'll correct it ASAP! I want this project to be correct for everyone!
Thanks everyone and please enjoy!
Emman will face CK Vin in what has been determined as a Chairs Match per General Manager, Carl Hella. This should be definitely wild!
For more information on the show, including tickets, please visit the SPW Facebook page. Thank you.
This blogger first heard of Dexcon a little over a year ago. It was before the summer visit to the Philippines.
I'm not sure when the idea of an organization such as Dexcon began. However, the fact that the organization organizes pro wrestling in the Philippines is great!
This blogger was fortunate to attend a wrestling show and Meet and Greet last August. As mentioned in a recent post, wrestlers from the Philippines, Malaysia and Singapore appeared in the event. The show that evening at the Brawl Pit Bulusan, in my mind the mecca of Pinoy wrestling, was great!
Since the August show, Dexcon has sponsored two other shows, both in 2024.
Wrestle Storm took place in March. There were some great matches. The featured match featured CDK (Masahiro Takanashi and Chris Brookes) versus Dabid Ravena and Jake De Leon. This match is certainly a main event anywhere in Southeast Asia. If people in North America knew more about the talent in Southeast Asia, this match would be treated as a main event as well.
Dexcon Decada, the second event this year, could have not come at an important time in modern day Pinoy wrestling history. This blogger was told that Zach Sabre Jr., the world's best technical wrestler, was in demand for quite some time. ZSJ was definitely gracious in appearing in wrestling shows in Thailand in Match and in the Dexcon Decada show. This blogger has seen part of this match against Jake De Leon. It may have been the best, if not most memorable in Pinoy wresting history.
Right now, it isn't known when Dexcon will have its next show. However, the organization has set the standard in putting on quality wrestling shows. The Pinoy wrestling fans and this blogger thanks Dexcon for keeping Pinoy wrestling going!
In doing this post, I'm thinking of everyone who has been affected by Typhoon Carina that hit the Philippines over the past few hours. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone at this time.
I've wanted to do a post on someone who has helped Southeast Asian wrestling over the years. Tajiri is the first to come to mind. Before doing one on Tajiri, my second choice, Masahiro Takanashi came to mind as well.
Masahiro Takanashi is a wrestler who works for the DDT Pro Wrestling promotion. The 41 year old veteran has wrestled mostly in Japan. However, he has also wrestled in the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand among Southeast Asian countries.
The two things that blew me away was the fact that he's won a combination 16 titles in his career. Definitely impressive!
Also, if Cagematch is correct with the statistics, Masahiro Takanashi has wrestled in 2374 matches! That is impressive considering he has wrestled since 2003. Despite the years missed due to covid, he has averages over 100 matches per year or once every four days. Any wrestler who has done that has to be durable.
This blogger talked with some fans who were at the Dexcon Wrestle Storm show earlier this year. Takanashi along with Chris Brookes were the featured match in the show. They took on a very quality team in Jake De Leon and Dabid Ravena. It was a weekend to remember for Pinoy Wrestling fans.
One match, and a good one, has been added to the upcoming Malaysia Pro Wrestling show. Fight Back, the event, will take place on Saturday, August 3rd beginning at 6pm. The venue is the KuAsh Theater TTDI.
Carlo Cannon will put the MYPW World Championship up against the Ace Of Thailand, Shivam.
Carlo Cannon has successfully defended the title for over 500 days now. This match could be one of his toughest.
Shivam has won multiple champions as a member of the SETUP Pro Wrestling promotion. His record speaks for itself!
For more information, including tickets for the show, please visit the Malaysia Pro Wrestling Facebook page. Thank you.
Congratulations to Filipino Pro Wrestling's FPW Champion, Mike Madrigal in successfully defending his title over the past weekend.
Mike traveled to Malaysia to take part in APAC Wrestling's show, Wrestlelegion this past Saturday night.
Mike defended the title in a Four Way Match against quality competition. His opponents were the Aerial Sniper Nyc from RoR Wrestling in Singapore, Big Eddie Emil, definitely no slouch, and Mick Mercer, two APAC up and coming stars. Mike came up with the win from my sources.
Now, he's back in the Philippines. Along with Evan Carleaux, Cali Nueva, Jeffrey and James "Idol" Martinez, they will be putting their focus in the task ahead on September 15.
That will be FPW's Unfinished Business show that will take place at Baked Studios in Makati City.
Team Madrigal will be taking on Team Red Ollero. His team consists of Good Guy Quatro, Thiago and The YOLO Twins. It appeared from some video from the past couple of shows, Team Ollero may have a slight advantage. However, never count Team Madrigal out! There may be a huge surprise in this encounter!
For more information including tickets, please visit the FPW - Filipino Pro Wrestling Facebook page. Thank you.
The Queen Of Philippine Wrestling, Crystal, will appear at PUSO Wrestling's Unang Tibok show. The event will take place on Saturday, August 17th, 6pm at the Brawl Pit Bulusan in Quezon City.
Currently, Crystal is in preparation for a championship title match in China this September. She will be challenging for the SPW Queen Of Asia Title against the champion, Yuki Kamifuku. All the best to Crystal on the upcoming match.
For more on PUSO Wrestling's show, including tickets, please visit the PUSO Wrestling Facebook page. The promotion can be seen on Instagram, X and You Tube.
If anyone would like to sponsor the show, or learn about sponsorship, please email PUSO Wrestling at pusowrestling@gmail.com for details. Thank you.
A new KOPW Tag Team Champion was named after a tournament took place over several shows. The Tag Team titles became vacant after a serious leg injury put Ash Silva of The Regnant Stable out of action. Hopefully, he's on the road to recovery and will be back in action soon.
Here are the results from the show:
Gao Yuan (C) d. Mr. Asthma and retains the KOPW Junior Heavyweight Title.
Nate Grimm (C) d. Smart Boy and retains the CWE Title (India).
Mad Dog Connor d. Illegal Immigrant.
Big Sam (w/Chairman Al) d. Zombie Dragon.
Bitman (C) d. Mofi Angus and retains the KOPW Title.
Zhao Junjie d. Wang Jumjie.
Cheng Da and Chen Wenbin d. Chen Pengwei and Feng Jianlang to win the vacant KOPW Tag Team Title.
It's important with this blog to mention every wrestling promotion, active or not. This blogger hasn't mentioned this promotion enough. Going forward, there will be more posts regarding the following promotion.
The oldest, if you want to call five years old, active wrestling promotion is World Underground Wrestling - Philippines. WUW-PH, for short, is a branch of World Underground Wrestling. WUW started in the 18th Century, and in France.
Per numerous sources, WUW-PH's first show took place on October 5, 2019. The show, WUW PH Dojo Storm took place at the Brawl Pit Bulusan in Quezon City, Philippines.
The show was a success with seven matches. A couple of days after the show, the promotion began putting their matches on You Tube for viewing.
Led by Saint John Martin, the promotion has had some shows. Prior to the 2020-2021 covid pandemic, WUW-PH did have three shows, roughly one per month.
Slowly but surely, since the return in 2022, WUW - PH has had some shows, the latest being the show, Tagay Na! that took place on July 7th.
WUW-PH does have one championship title currently. That is the World Underground Wrestling Tag Team Titles currently held by Saint John Martin and Ken Cifer. The pair won the belts this past December and have defended it successfully several times this year.
Those that have appeared at WUW - PH shows have included wrestlers from the newest wrestling promotion in the country, PUSO Wrestling. The performers include Saint John Martin, Ken Cifer, Dabid Ravena, Razael, Kanta Terror, Silent D, Zera, Main Maxx, Pinoy Bulldog and more.
This blogger has been to one of their shows which was August of last year. For those reading this post, I would definitely recommend any wrestling fan to see a show when one is announced again.
There have been a couple of matches added to the upcoming Malaysia Pro Wrestling show. The event, Fight Back, will take place on Saturday, August 3rd beginning at 6pm. The venue is the KuAsh Theater, TTDI.
An additional match in the Journey To Gold quarterfinal features Orion Black vs. "Love Warrior" Syawal.
Also, there will be an International singles match with Guken taking on John Day.
Tickets are still available for the show. Please visit the Malaysia Pro Wrestling Facebook page for more information. Thank you.
Here are the results from APAC Wrestling's show, Enter The Dragon. The show took place this past January 28th.
My apologies on this but there are two additional names that this blogger left out from the last post. We are talking about PUSO Wrestling's upcoming show, Unang Tibok. The venue is the Brawl Pit Bulusan in Quezon City on Saturday, August 17th beginning at 7pm.
In the Jun Capilos Jr. Battle Royal, Serafin Liwanag and Jomar will join Danny Zamora, Dabid Ravena, Fabio Makisig, Ken Cifer, Patricia Ligaya and Brother Benny. The match rules is that a wrestler needs to be thrown over the top rope to be eliminated from the competition.
There may possibly be additional wrestlers or even possible additional matches. If there are, this blogger will update the readers. For now, the poster you see at the top of the page are the matches made so far. As always, in any wrestling show, the card is subject to change!
Tickets for the event are still available. Please visit the PUSO Wrestling Facebook page. Also, PUSO Wrestling can be found on Instagram, You Tube and X.
If anyone would like to sponsor for this show, or have any questions about sponsoring, please enmail PUSO Wrestling at pusowrestling@gmail.com for details. Thank you.
This post is focused on the new Pinoy Wrestling promotion in PUSO Wrestling. It can be very well focused on all pro wrestling promotions in Southeast Asia.
The upcoming visit to the Philippines means a lot to this wrestling fan. When originally planning and making reservations for the visit, the last thing that this wrestling fan thought would be a popular wrestling promotion would abruptly end its operation.
I don't want to dwell on this, but the closing hurt a lot. In my lifetime as a pro wrestling fan, this is the second time that a wrestling promotion that, I was close to, abruptly ceased operations.
In 1981, this fan was a big supporter of Big Time Wrestling San Francisco. This fan went to numerous wrestling shows in the San Francisco Bay Area. This happened for about 11 years of my life.
A couple of days after the 1981 show, a Battle Royal and an NWA World Title match between Harley Race and one of my idols, Ray Stevens, the promotion shut down for good. It was gut wrenching and did not watch wrestling for weeks. The area did not have wrestling locally for nearly 15 months.
This fan, knew very much, how the Pinoy wrestling fans felt who followed this promotion. I had a very good sense of how officials of the popular promotion felt. Certainly, this blogger along with the fans, felt for all the wrestlers involved. I write about their progress in wrestling and more.
The blow softened a little with a Dexcon show called Dexcon Decada. Then, there was the emails and invitations to Pinoy Wrestling Night. The end of the show would announce the new promotion, PUSO Wrestling. There have been numerous posts on social media about the upcoming show, Unang Tibok on Saturday, August 17th. The show takes place at the Brawl Pit Bulusan beginning at 6pm. For more information, please see the PUSO Wrestling Facebook page.
In a very short time, the promotion is doing well. A lot of people....wrestlers, officials, wrestling fans and this blogger are trying to get the word out about the show. Patience is important here as well as getting the word out as a unit. Please continue doing what you're doing right now!
To wrestling fans in the Southeast Asia area....this is a definitely a feel good story. As a blogger on this platform, hopefully what happened in the Philippines will NEVER happen to your favorite promotion. Please never assume that your favorite promotion will never abruptly end its operation. The quote "never say never" should always be in your minds.
Unang Tibok in a little over four weeks time! The Pinoy wrestling fans, wrestlers, referees, officials and yours truly cannot wait! I'll see you guys soon!
Here are the results from this past weekend's Grapplemax - Open House at the Grapplemax Studios in Singapore. The event was held this past Saturday night, July 20th. Thank you to Grapplemax Pro Wrestling for the results.
Just recently, Ring Of Rebirth Singapore (or RoR Wrestling) celebrated its second anniversary as a promotion.
For those that don't know, RoR Wrestling began in 2022. As the third, and newest promotion in Singapore, ROR Wrestling, led by The Eurasian Dragon, had its first show on July 9th. The theme was called RoR - Press Start and was held at the Goldpine Industrial Building. The location has hosted a few pro wrestling shows over the years.
The promotion does it in a studio type format, something very familiar especially in the Territory Era days. The Eurasian Dragon has done a great job with the local talent such as Nyc, Varun Khanna, BGJ, Mr. Geylang, Erfie, Kuhan Bluestar and others. Wrestlers from nearby countries such as Vietnam, Australia and Hong Kong.
The Eurasian Dragon, himself, wrestles on occasions and has wrestled throughout Southeast Asia. He appeared at a recent APAC Wrestling show in Malaysia and did quite well in a tag team match.
Kudos to The Eurasian Dragon and to RoR Wrestling. Their latest shows, RoR Wrestling #8 through #10 were recently taped and will be out on You Tube soon. This blogger cannot wait who was on the show and the matches that took place. As soon as the announcement is received here, I will announce it on the blog.
Here are the results from SPW's show, Clash At The Club II. The event was held this past Friday night, July 19th at the ION Club. Thank you to SPW for the results.
Legendary announcer, Walt Harris interviewing Kinji Shibuya at the KTVU studios in Oakland, CA.
Wrestling fans in America, for the most part, love the large venues. Certainly Madison Square Garden, Crypto.com Arena, United Center and others come to mind.
However, what about the small arenas or venue?
Before seeing my first big wrestling show at the Cow Palace in Daly City, it was seeing a one hour wrestling show at a television studio in Oakland. KTVU Channel 2 would originally televise their promotional shows at 9pm each Friday night for a few years. One night, some family friends and I had a chance to see a show. There were four matches in the one hour time slot with commercials. It was a beginning for this wrestling fan.
I've been fortunate to see some shows in all different venues. Wrestlemania 31 at Levi's Stadium was monumental. However, seeing a show in a small venue is every bit as important.
Right now, there are six matches scheduled for the show.
Four of the matches are part of a tournament to declare an inaugural Pusong Pinoy Wrestling Champion.
There will be a battle royal in honor of a late, huge wrestling fan. The Jun Capilos Jr. Battle Royal will be an exciting one to watch.
Also, the Pinay Vixen, Chelsea Marie will face "Mr. Philippine Wrestling" Jake De Leon in the Main Event. This is a return match from the Pinoy Wrestling Night last month.
For more information, including tickets, please visit the PUSO Wrestling Facebook page. PUSO Wrestling can also be found on Instagram, X and You Tube.
Finally, if anyone, or anyone you know is interesting in sponsoring the show, please email PUSO Wrestling at pusowrestling@gmail.com for more details. Thank you.
During the pandemic in 2020, this blogger watched a lot of You Tube videos of Southeast Asia wrestling promotions. The Philippines, Vietnam and Singapore wrestling shows really caught my eye.
Since watching Dante Chen last week, this blogger went back and watched several videos of Singapore Pro Wrestling shows over the past several years.
The promotion, I believe, is the oldest in Southeast Asia, began in 2012. Their first show was an event called SPW Open House in October. The names, that this fan learned quickly, were "The Statement" Andruew Tang and The Eurasian Dragon. Soon afterwards, the names of Trexxus. Aiden Rex and Alexis Lee were wrestlers that I enjoyed watching.
Singapore Pro Wrestling has been very consistent with the shows over the years. Not only does the promotion have their local talent in Singapore. Wrestlers, from other promotions in Southeast Asia and beyond, travel and wrestle in their shows. Though I've never been to one of their shows live, I've seen You Tube as well as the premium videos. The organization is very strong. Andruew has done great work for this promotion in the nearly 12 years!
Dante Chen (Trexxus), I believe, began his WWE/NXT career in 2021 when the pandemic eased a bit. I remembered reading in on a couple of websites. Definitely, this is a great story, for Dante, SPW and wrestling fans throughout Southeast Asia.
When one thinks of pro wrestling in Southeast Asia, whether SPW or any other promotion, the local wrestling scene in the countries are still very young!
Speaking of Singapore Pro Wrestling, their next show, Hardcore Island 2: A Fine City, will take place on Friday, August 16th beginning at 7:30pm. The venue is the Foo Chow Building. Please visit SPW on their Facebook page for more information including tickets. Thank you.
One match has been added to the show. The team of Jack N' Cheese (BGJ and CBK) had their open challenge accepted by The Gym Bros (Sunny Z and Benji).
For more on the show, including tickets, please visit the SPW page on Facebook. Thank you.
Hello everyone!
In the Philiipines, the country is well covered when it comes to pro wrestling, whether it is local or on the international level.
There are three podcasts that I would like to share with the readers. Pinoy wrestling fans are probably familiar with these already. However, this being a Southeast Asia wrestling blog, it would be good to share these with wrestling fans worldwide.
https://www.channelfourteen.com/
The group, Pro Wrestling PH Club is a club that was created in 2016 and rebranded on December 31, 2022. Angelo, Danielle, Christian and many others have done a great job with this group. I was invited into the group in August 2023 and have enjoyed every moment since following.
Pro Wrestling PH Club cam be found on Facebook and a couple of other social media outlets. Here is the link to their page on Facebook...
https://www.facebook.com/groups/prowrestlingphclub
Rowen, Ro, Emile, Stan and Chino are extremely knowledgeable with both the worldwide and local scene in the Philippines. Usually, their podcasts take place at 7pm on Thursdays (Philippines) and sometimes, subject to change. Here is the link to The Wrestling Wrestling Podcast on Facebook...
https://www.facebook.com/wrestlingwrestlingpodcast
https://www.facebook.com/kayfabecafe
Finally, if any wrestling fan reads this, please take the opportunity to at least see their page and follow the group. It would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks everyone.
The Eurasian Dragon from ROR Wrestling in Singapore will team up with Hendo Ramli. They will take on the team of Joe Louise and K.A.E in a tag team match.
APAC Wrestlelegion will be this evening at the WNZ Arena, Spacerubix, Puchong.
For more information, please visit the APAC Wrestling Facebook page regarding tickets, if any available. As always with any wrestling show, the card is subject to change.
Some
of this is similar to my experiences of preparing a track for another
sports entertainment in North America known as Roller Derby.
Very recently, this blogger read a post shared by Philippine pro wrestler, Fabio Makisig. Definitely, preparing for a show varies from country to country. Please check out by clicking the link below. This fan is always appreciative of what goes on behind the scenes of pro wrestling shows!
https://ko-fi.com/post/Bayanihan-in-Pinoy-Wrestling-Z8Z410P8GK
APAC Wrestling's next show, Wrestlelegion, will take place on Saturday, July 20th. The venue is the WNZ Arena, Spacerubix, Puchong beginning at 8pm.
There has been one enormous match added to the show that this blogger just learned.
Filipino Pro Wrestling Champion, Mike Madrigal will face NYC from Ring Of Rebirth (Singapore) and local stars, Big Eddie Emil and Mick Mercer in a four way match for the FPW Championship. These type of matches always reduce the champion's odds. However, I would never count out a champion, especially one of Mike Madrigal's caliber!
For more information, and if any tickets remain, please visit the APAC Wrestling page on Facebook.
All the best to everyone appearing at the show on Saturday. Have a good weekend everyone!
PUSO Wrestling, as been mentioned over the past couple of weeks, will be having their inaugural show. Unang Tibok, on Saturday, August 17th beginning at 6pm. The location is the Brawl Pit Bulusan in Quezon City, PH.
Up until this post, there will be a Main Event match and four quarter final matches of a tournament. The tournament of seven matches overall will determine who will be the first Pusong Pinoy Wrestling Champion.
There is one additional match that has been added to the show. The Jun Capilos Jr. Battle Royal, an over-the top elimination battle royal will feature six wrestlers, all capable of winning the event.
This blogger knows the family from a couple of shows last year. Jelson and his two daughters have always been supportive in the short time we've known one another. Thank you to the Capilos family who has supported shows and Pinoy wrestling in general!
The wrestlers involved in the match are Fabio Makisig, Patricia Ligaya, Dabid Ravena, Ken Cifer, Danny Zamora and Brother Benny.
For more information on the show, including tickets (which are still available), please visit the PUSO Wrestling page on Facebook. PUSO Wrestling can also be found on social media platforms such as Instagram, X and You Tube.
