Later on today (Saturday), a near capacity, if not capacity crowd will attend the first ever Puso Wrestling show in the Philippines. It will take place at 6pm, Saturday August 17th at the Brawl Pit Bulusan in Quezon City. The name of the show is Unang Tibok (English meaning First Beat).
One last time until tonight....a few tickets are still available. Please visit the PUSO Wrestling page on how you can secure a ticket. Only VIP tickets remain. SVIP and GM tickets are sold out!
This inaugural wrestling show will be a first for this fan, and perhaps for a few fans attending. Certainly, I'll always remember my first pro wrestling show in July 1970. There was Wrestlemania 31 in March 2015 in Santa Clara, roughly 80 kilometers south of where this blogger lives. Then there was my first Philippines show in December 2022 at the Peta Theater Center.
Honestly, this feels like my biggest show to date! It certainly feels like July 1970 all over again!
Pinoy wrestling fans are definitely curious as to what might happen this evening. For SVIP ticket holders, they will be allowed through the gates at 5pm. Once inside, there will be an opportunity to be inside a wrestling ring for a couple of minutes with three of their favorite wrestlers. VIP ticket holders will be allowed in at 5:30pm and GM ticket holders at 5:45pm. This may shock you but I've never been inside a wrestling ring! A boxing ring? Yes, but never wrestling.
Prior to all this, I'll be visiting nearby Onyang Cafe for a mid afternoon lunch and drink. The Cafe is one of my favorite places and hangouts here in the Philippines. The cafe opens at 1pm per Google. Please be sure to check before leaving. I've been told the menu is bigger than ever. If there, please check it out!
This will be a long day, and not in a bad way. With the weather being very warm and humid, getting fluids and food down is a must!
Whatever transpires tonight, thank you to all the pinoy wrestling fans, Dexcon, WUW-Philippines, PUSO Wrestling staff and wrestlers who will be there, or even have other obligations today. The excitement keeps this blogger going on a daily basis. I'm, more than happy, to share everything that's been happening up to today.
In closing, this blogger has one message for everyone tonight. The message is to enjoy the moment and the show. There is a saying that "Rome was not built in a day!" PUSO Wrestling has taken a large step since June when the promotion became official. I know many of you heard this before, but please be patient with the group. They have come a long ways in a very short time. There have been the numerous training sessions, social media posts and television appearances of many of your favorite wrestlers.
Don't be afraid to post photos on your favorite social media outlets. Finally, let your friends know about the show for days to come. Communication is important!
All of us should be really happy with what has transpired since June. Thank you to everyone involved in having this event happen!
Thank you everyone and we'll see you this afternoon!
