A Look Back At SPW

The other night, this blogger had a chance to watch Dante Chen (formerly Trexxus in SPW) on television in a title match against Ethan Page for the NXT Title.  Dante fared well in the match but fell just a little short.  However, it was exciting to see him on television for the first time though I've been following his matches on Facebook.

 

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.
