Fabio Makisig after winning the MWF Pinoy Wrestling Championship in December 2022.
For the last couple of years now, this blogger has followed pro wrestling quite a bit in Southeast Asia. I've seen it firsthand in the Philippines with five shows over a calendar year.
Also, this fan has followed it quite a bit on social media outlets like Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), You Tube and several streaming providers.
This blogger has covered roughly 15 or so wrestling promoters throughout the region. There are several promotions such as Grapplemax Pro Wrestling in Singapore whom there's a high regard for. For much of the year, Big Dave was their Openweight Champion. He defended the belt against all comers and would also be on podcasts in the country sharing his thoughts of the coveted championship.
Late in the year, Big Dave lost a title match to Hotshot Wilson, a wrestler who was on the verge of being a champion for a couple of years. It will be interesting to see his reign in 2024.
Another pro wrestler I have a high regard for is a wrestler with the Manila Wrestling Federation.
At my first ever show outside North America, Fabio Makisig, definitely one of the most recognizable wrestlers in the Philippines, won his first MWF Pinoy Wrestling Championship in defeating another great wrestler in Jake De Leon. It happened at the Peta Theater Center in Quezon City at the 2022 Noche Buena show.
Like Big Dave in Singapore, Fabio defended the title against numerous competitors in 2023. The list included Nigel San Jose, Dabid Ravena, Migs Valdez, Robin Sane, Crystal, Ken Cifer and Jake De Leon prior to the eight man elimination last month.
However, it was more than the fact that Fabio defended and defended it successfully for nearly one year.
Fabio, as well as numerous MWF wrestlers, as well as staff members, took part in a lot of appearances in the Metro Manila community. There would be radio shows, television shows, appearances at a few of the area shopping malls.
Things would even be enhanced when around the middle of 2023, the Manila Wrestling Federation would be a part of a new channel in the country. The channel known as Rock Of Manila TV can be seen in much of the Philippines today!
Being fairly new to the pro wrestling scene in Southeast Asia, I'm not sure how popular MWF or that matter, Philippine Wrestling Revolution was prior to the pandemic.
However, I can say since post pandemic, the wrestling scene led by the Manila Wrestling Federation has elevated their game. Certainly, the MWF Pinoy Wrestling Championship has definitely been elevated and Fabio has a great deal to do with it. Hopefully, the kapafeds who followed him throughout 2023 will not forget what Fabio accomplished as champion.
Now, with Jake De Leon as the champion, this doesn't mean that Jake cannot elevate things in holding the belt. He has been a recognizable face in the pro wrestling scene for a few years now. He's not known as "Mr. Philippine Wrestling" for nothing. Whether the fans like him or not, it will be interesting to see his path as champion going forward.
Certainly, this fan is looking forward to what the path will be in 2024 for Fabio, Jake, for Oro Plata Mata and the Manila Wrestling Federation.
Inglorious d. Joses and Larhvin.
"Crypto Bro" LK d. Shaun P. Diddy.
Simon Siah d. Christian.
BIG DAVE and Ben Sachak d. Aussie Aussie Aussie.
Hotshot d. Jullian and retains the Grapplemax Openweight Championship.
Here are the results from Grapplemax Pro Wrestling Singapore's Seventh Anniversary show that was held on Saturday, November 11th.
It was great from seeing social media the reaction from the fans at the Grapplemax Studios. Looked like everyone had a great time and were enjoying the action.
Hotshot Wilson d. Big Dave (c) and is now the Grapplemax Openweight Champion.
Jordan (c) d. Dick Togo and remains the Wrestle Square Cruiserweight Champion.
Sky (c) d. Prabu and Wildfire Remus and remains the NTW Champion.
Showtime d. Endboss Gregory.
Christian and Sarah d. Ban Sachan and TJ.
Aussie Aussie Aussie d. Joker and A-Yong-Go.
Simon Siah and Ryan d. Jullian and Kelvin.
This fan hasn't followed Grapplemax that long, but there is no love lost between Showtime and Endboss Gregory. Apparently, this rivalry has gone back nearly six years.
For those who haven't seen the latest, please watch the recent match between Endboss Gregory and Simon Siah. It was definitely an exciting and good match between a young wrestler with a year's experience and someone who's been with the industry for several years.
What happened a few minutes after the match has led to this encounter. With Endboss being blindsided from behind, Showtime took full advantage of a fatigued Gregory leading up to this match.
With Big Dave taking on Hotshot and Jordan taking on Dick Togo, and several other matches, definitely, this will be a great night for pro wrestling in Singapore.
Also, this fan wants to mention that You Tube has all the matches from their last show, Amplify in their channel. Please check it out and subscribe if you haven't already.
The show is a sellout. Congratulations to Grapplemax on their seventh anniversary!
Here are the results from a wrestling event back in February. It was called Grapplemax Pro Wrestling vs. Malaysia Pro Wrestling - 2023 Causeway Jam. It took place on February 11 in Singapore.

Grapplemax is one of three wrestling promotions in Singapore, along with Singapore Pro Wrestling and Ring Of Rebirth. On their website, it says that it is Singapore's Fastest Growing Pro Wrestling Community.
In this blogger's mind, Grapplemax is building their product the correct way. Their first show took place in 2017 and they haven't looked back. If this is correct, they have had more than 40 shows since the first one.
The roster is diverse, around 20 people aging from 16 to 46. They have their own studio that has increased in size at UBI 55 on 55 Ubi Avenue.
Their shows have been held to sold out crowds so there is a good fan base in Singapore. Certainly, things are definitely good and on the rise!
On the wrestling front, Grapplemax is led by their Openweight Champion, Big Dave and Wrestle Square Cruiserweight Champion, Jordan. Both have proven that they deserve to be at the top. Big Dave has had the title since the very inception in December 2022. Jordan won the Cruiserweight belt a couple of months ago in a three way match against Simon Siah and Christian.
However, there is a lot of competition for both of the prestigious titles. Anytime you have the likes of Christian, Ban, Hotshot, Simon Siah, Joses, Showtime and Showtime Inc., Wildfire Remus and more, on any given night, any of the wrestlers mentioned, could be a title holder.
Also, this fan is always excited to see a promotion have women wrestlers. It's great to see Sarah as one of the members on the roster. Hopefully, this will be an inspiration in getting more women to wrestle!
This fan believes that Endboss Gregory, Crypto Bro LK and Big Dave are involved in the training although there may be others that haven't been mentioned. If this blogger left out anyone, please let me know via message and will correct this.
Hopefully sometime in 2024, while visiting on vacation in Singapore, I'll take in a show. I've seen their shows on You Tube and always come away impressed with how hard they've worked to perform in front of the fans. It's definitely a must see if you are a wrestling fan.

Here is an updated lineup for the show:
Big Dave (C) vs. Hotshot for the Grapplemax Openweight Championship.

This blogger watches a lot of wrestling on video, mostly You Tube and sometimes Gank and Rock Of Manila TV in the Philippines. Certainly, the wrestling scene in Southeast Asia is inspiring.
There is an up and coming wrestler, Simon Siah who performs for Grapplemax Pro Wrestling in Singapore. Watching a few videos of him, like a few future stars in Grapplemax such as Jordan and Christian, Simon works hard at his craft.
Each time he goes for a workout in Singapore, this fan saw a video where Simon comes from a neighboring country, Malaysia. This definitely speaks volumes for someone that loves this industry. You can tell he wants be among the top stars in the promotion.
I've watched videos of him against Singapore's Openweight Champion, Big Dave. Despite a weight disadvantage, Simon held his own. The fight to win was definitely there.
There was also a three way battle for the Wrestle Square Cruiserweight Championship. Simon handled himself against both Christian and Jordan. Jordan prevailed to win the championship. However, Simon held his own again.
During the year, Simon has defeated the likes of Crypto Bro LK. Just this past weekend, he beat Endboss Gregory, one of the greats in Singapore pro wrestling history. It will be interesting who his next opponent will be.
Hopefully, he doesn't mind the write-up and possibly more on an exciting star in this industry. In the very near future, I'll share more on some stars such as Jordan and Christian.
One of my social media accounts is blocked right now and am working frantically in getting it fixed. Thank you to 'X' for the results that you have.
