Puso Wrestling's Next Show

Hello everyone!  Apologies for not posting lately.

 

PUSO Wrestling's next show, Pusong Pinoy, will take place on Saturday, November 30th.  The venue is once again the Brawl Pit Bulusan in Quezon City beginning at 6pm.  Here is what is happening.

 

The finals for the inaugural Pusong Pinoy Wrestling Championship will be decided that evening.  Aaron Liwanag will take on Main Maxx in what will be a banger of a match!  Both wrestlers are undefeated since PUSO Wrestling began last summer.  Aaron Liwanag will be battling for his first championship while Main Maxx will battle for his first championship in several years.

 

In other matches signed,  Dabid Ravena and Kurt Jiminez, returning to action, will face Nigel San Jose and Fabio Makisig, returning to action.  Ravena and Jiminez are part of the revival group, MSG led by Mr. Sy along with the Pinay Vixen, Chelsea Marie.  Nigel San Jose and Fabio Makisig have teamed up before in tag team action and will prove a huge test, and revenge, against the MSG team.

 

There will also be a Pwersang Pinay Gauntlet match involving Crystal, Chelsea Marie, Joya, Super P., Patricia Ligaia, Roxxy from Wrestlefest DXB (Dubai) and a wrestler yet to be named.  Yappy will be the special guest referee for the match.

 

In a three way, Mr. Philippine Wrestling's, Jake De Leon will take on Shaheen from Wrestlefest DXB and Shigehiro Irie from Japan in a huge encounter.

 

Also, Isaiah Valencia will take on Jomar in singles action.

 

In a four way for the #1 contender for the Pusong Pinoy Wrestling Championship, it will be Danny Zamora vs. Joey Rosas vs. Ken Cifer vs. El Kapitunero.  The winner of this match will get a title shot at whoever is the champion.

 

Finally, there will be a tag match between Hakai Mateo and Alien Friend vs. Serafin Liwanag and Kapatid na ???.  The stipulation is this per General Manager, Sonny Go.  If Hakai Mateo and Alien Friend win the match, Serafin Liwanag and Kapatid na ??? will be barred from ringside during the Pusong Pinoy Championship Match.

 

For more information, including tickets, please visit the PUSO Wrestling Facebook page.  Thank you.

A New Stable In Town (Part 2)

Hello everyone!

 

In Part One of A New Stable In Town, this blogger shared the formation of a new stable with Filipino Pro Wrestling.  That would be LegenDarius and Jason Rex.  The duo joined forces at the July FPW Astig show.  Things became official a couple of months later at the FPW Unfinished Business show following the match.

 

Fast forward one week later, another stable has been formed, this time with PUSO Wrestling.  This is what happened per sources since this blogger wasn't there to witness the action.

 

Following a grueling and banger of a match between Dabid Ravena and Danny Zamora, Mr. Sy came into the ring.  The last time pinoy wrestling fans saw Mr. Sy was at the final Manila Wrestling Federation show when he was the manager of the successful group known as Oro Plata Mata.  Ravena was part of the group at the time.

 

Mr Sy mentioned to those in attendance that "there has to be change" while attending to Ravena.  Kurt Jiminez, a wrestler on the mend with PUSO Wrestling was there as well.

 

Following the Main Event match between Chelsea Marie and Joya, it was revealed that a new stable known as MSG was formed.

 

Chelsea Marie would be joined by Dabid Ravena, Mr. Sy and Kurt Jiminez to become the latest stable.  It will be interesting to see how this group turns out.  Certainly, OPM worked out well in the previous promotion.  There's reason to believe that MSG will do just as well if not better!

PUSO Wrestling Heart-2Heart Update #3

Hello everyone!

 

PUSO Wrestling's next show, Heart-2-Heart, will take place on Saturday, September 21st.  The venue is the Brawl Pit Bulusan beginning at 6pm in Quezon City.

 

One match has been added to the show, and it is not just a match either.

 

Danny Zamora will be taking on Dabid Ravena in what will be in wrestling terms, "a banger!"  The rivalry between the two wrestlers has been an ongoing one.  For those of you who were at the inaugural show, Unang Tibok, here is what happened.

 

Before the Jun Capilos Jr. Battle Royal, the two appeared to be jawing at one another before the match began.  Then, at times during the match, the two were battling each other.  Eventually, both Danny and Dabid were eliminated within seconds of each other, and a couple of meters from one another.

 

However, it didn't stop there.  The two combatants continued battling each other outside the ring.  They kept brawling when leaving the Brawl Pit Bulusan.  Who knows if the two are still battling as this post is being written!

 

Anyway, for information, including tickets, please visit the PUSO Wrestling Facebook page.  Until this coming Saturday, tickets are 5% off in all categories.

 

Also, if anyone is interested in sponsoring the show, please message PUSO Wrestling or email them at pusowrestling@gmail.com for more information.  Thank you.

Masahiro Takanashi

From left to right, Chris Brookes, not sure who the lady is, Chris Brookes and Jake De Leon at the Meet And Greet prior to the Dexcon Wrestle Storm show.
 

 

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. 

Unang Tibok Update #3

Hello 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.

 

If anyone is interested in sponsoring for the upcoming show, please email PUSO Wrestling at pusowrestling@gmail.com for more details.  Thank you.    

A Look Back

Hello everyone!

 

This post either was deleted or the blogger never posted it.  In either case, my apologies that this happened.

 

In the middle with Ken Cifer (l) and Steve The Teacher (now AFAM Steve).  The Meet And Greet was a blast!   

 

Last year, on Monday, August 21, there was a wrestling show sponsored by Dexcon and WUW-Philippines.  The show featured wrestlers from World Underground Philippines, Manila Wrestling Federation, Singapore Pro Wrestling, APAC Wrestling (Malaysia) and a wrestler who formerly wrestled for Middle Kingdom Wrestling in China.

The day featured a Meet and Greet as well as a wrestling show at the Brawl Pit Bulusan.  There were five matches on the show.  Here are the results from memory....

Robin Sane d, Zera.

Ken Cifer d. Steve The Teacher.

Dabid Ravena d. Razael in a Hardcore Match.

Alexis Lee d. Poppy, Crystal and Chelsea Marie in, what turned out to be a four way for the SPW Queen Of Asia Championship.

Crystal, St. John Martin, The Machine and Ken Cifer d. Poppy, Jake De Leon, Dabid Ravena and Kojio Akumu.

 

Note: Alexis Lee was the special guest referee and did a superb job at it!

 

This fan had a blast at the show.  It was the first time visiting the Brawl Pit Bulusan in Quezon City.  Though a small venue, it was perfect for the show.   The adjoining restaurant, Onyang's Place serves good food and drinks.  This fan remembers the great quesadillas and what, I believe, was San Miguel Beer that was brought into the venue!

 

It is nearly a year since this has happened.  How time flies! 

Tagay Na! Results

Hello everyone!

 

Here are the results below from Sunday night's World Underground Wrestling - Philippines show, Tagay Na!  The event took place before an enthusiastic, knowledgeable and great gathering of Pinoy wrestling fans at the Brawl Pit Bulusan in Quezon City.

 

Also, I have some thoughts below the results.  Please, if you have a chance, to read it! 

 

Fabio Makisig d. Isaiah Valencia.

Nigel San Jose d. Dabid Ravena and Zera.

Main Maxx d. Silent D.

Jake De Leon d. El Kapitunero.

Robin Sane d. Pinoy Bulldog

and 

TZK (St. John Martin and Ken Cifer) d. High Proof (Razael and Kenta Terror) and retain the WUW Tag Team Championship.

Note:  Silent D has become a part of TZK and can defend the tag team titles via the Freebird rule!

 

In closing, thank you to World Underground Wrestling - Philippines in putting on a show that the fans will not forget any time soon.  

 

To St. John Martin and the roster of both WUW - Philippines, and the new PUSO Wrestling roster, thank you for all the efforts, and keeping wrestling alive, and well, in the Philippines!  Also, to the staff, from the announcers, to photographers and those helping put the ring up, thank you too.  From this blogger, without all of you, there's no show, simple as that!

 

To the fans who were in attendance, and those who weren't there because of other obligations, thank you for supporting WUW - Philippines and PUSO.  Everyone's support is important right now. This blogger believes that WUW - Philippines and PUSO recognizes this and will continue to provide a good product for you.

 

Also, thank you to Rosh (results), Glenn-Dale (the clip from the show below), Christian, Jelson, Cholo, Andi, Ulysses, Emile, Michael, Martin, Patricia, Isaiah, Jeff, Alexander, and many others that I cannot remember (my apologies), thank you for the communication over the past couple of years.  Being about 7,000 miles away in America, without the input from all of you, posts like this wouldn't be possible.

 

There are good possibilities that Dexcon and WUW - Philippines will put on. at least, another show before year's end.  Also, PUSO Wrestling has mentioned that there will be an August show.  Details are forthcoming.  This blogger will have it on this blog as soon as the announcement is made!

 

Finally, pro wrestling will continue next Sunday, July 14th.  Filipino Pro Wrestling will have a show at the Baked Studios in Makati City.  Bell time is 2pm.  For more info, please visit the FPW - Filipino Pro Wrestling page on Facebook.

 

The copy feature regarding the clip will take some time to download here.  My apologies, but as soon as I can get it, the video will be posted below.  Thank you for your patience!

 

In the meantime, here is the link from last week's press conference that led to, what I've been told, was carnage at the end of the WUW Tag Team Championship match.

Tagay Na! Show Update #7

Hello everyone!

Here is the updated lineup of matches for the Tagay Na! wrestling show scheduled for this coming Sunday, July 7th.  The location is the Brawl Pit Bulusan beginning at 6pm.

 

Main Maxx vs. Silent D in an "I Quit Match"

Dabid Ravena vs. Zera vs. Nigel San Jose in a Triple Threat Match.

Fabio Makisig vs. Isaiah Valencia in a Singles Match.

Robin Sane vs. Pinoy Bulldog in what is called "New School vs. Old School" or perhaps the other way around.  This blogger respects Old and New School Wrestling.

"Mr. Philippine Wrestling" Jake De Leon vs. El Kapitunero in a Submission Match.

And Finally

Turn Zero Kill (Saint John Martin and Ken Cifer) vs. High Proof (Kanto Terror and Razael).  The match is for the World Underground Wrestling World Tag Team Championship held by Turn Zero Kill.  The match has been determined as a Tornado Tag Team No Disqualification match.  What this means, if it is correct is that all four  wrestlers can be in the ring as the same time.

 

If anyone saw the press conference involving the two teams, things got rather chaotic.  The one thing this blogger has learned from Pinoy Wrestling matches is the following....  Never wake up a sleeping giant!  I will leave that statement at that!

 

As of this post, there are some VIP tickets left.  WUW, Dexcon and I would love to see a sellout at the event.  For more on the show and tickets, please see the World Underground Wrestling Philippines - WUW Philippines page on Facebook as well as Dexcon.  I have posted the link on tickets that is below the final paragraph.  Please remember that the show IS subject to change!

 

Hope everyone enjoys the show this Sunday night.  If anyone has a chance, please FM message me (SF Wayne) after the show.  Would love to hear from you guys regarding the action  Thanks.  Will see all of you in PH in a little over three weeks!  Have a good weekend everyone!

Tagay Na! Show Update #5

Hello everyone!

 

A lot has happened since my last post two weeks ago.  My apologies for not posting but have had an emergency to take care of here in America.  Please don't worry everyone!  Health wise, I'm good and am looking forward to the Philippines visit in about four weeks time.

 

There have been changes on the card for Tagay Na!  The show will still take place at the Brawl Pit Bulusan on Sunday, July 7th beginning at 6pm in Quezon City.

 

Added will be an "I Quit" match between Main Maxx and Silent D.

 

Also, a singles match is now a Triple Threat Match.  The match between One Man Kru and Zera has been canceled.

 

Instead, Zera will wrestle against Dabid Ravena against Nigel San Jose in a Triple Threat Match.

 

Later in the week, this blogger will post the show lineup for everyone just in case anyone (like myself) forgot.

 

For more on the show, including tickets, please visit either the World Underground Wrestling Philippines - WUW Philippines and/or the Dexcon pages on Facebook.

 

Here is the link for tickets.  Thank you everyone!

Tagay Na! Show Update #2

Hello everyone!

 

There has been a match added since my last post regarding Tagay Na!  The World Underground Wrestling - Philippines show will take place on Sunday, July 7th.  Bell time is 6pm at the Brawl Pit Bulusan in Quezon City, PH.

 

The "Godkiller," Dabid Ravena will take on the "Suplex Machine," Nigel San Jose in a singles match.  This will definitely be one banger of a match!

 

For more on show information and tickets, please visit the World Underground Wrestling Philippines - WUW Philippines page on Facebook.

 

Here is the link listed below regarding buying tickets.  Thank you.

Dexcon Decada Update #2

Hello everyone!

 

Since the last post on May 15th, there have been two matches and possibly a third match regarding the Dexcon Decada show scheduled for Sunday, May 26th.  The event will take place at the Brawl Pit Bulusan in Quezon City.

 

First off, Oro Plata Mata's Dabid Ravena, will take on Main Maxx.  This will not be your ordinary singles match since the two wrestlers were former teammates in the stable.  Expect one banger of a match!

 

Also, we have a three way match between Razael, "Danger" Rex Lawin and Afam Steve.  This will definitely be another banger of a match.  I do not know if any of the wrestlers have been in a three way before but this match will be interesting.

 

Finally, the great Chelsea Marie of the Manila Wresling Federation is scheduled to be in the show and has said that she wants a fight.

 

On Saturday, May 25th, there will once again be a Meet And Greet at Collective Base B2 GH. 

 

The show is a sellout.  However, please check the Dexcon page on Facebook for any changes and details.  Thank you for checking this out and see you laser!

Dexcon Wrestle Storm Update #2

Hello everyone!

 

Just a few hours ago, it has been announced by Pumi of SETUP Thailand and match maker, Linus Santos of Wrestle Storm that a major announcement has been made.

 

The main event between the   Calamari Drunken Kings, Chris Brookes and Masahiro Takanashi, and Oro Plata Mata's, Jake De Leon and Dabid Ravena is NOW going to be for the IWA Japan Setup World Tag Team Championship!!! 

 

Also, my apologies on this, but Manila Wrestling Federation's Chelsea Marie, will not only be at Saturday's Meet and Greet, but will also be in action at the Sunday show.  Her opponent has yet to be announced.  

 

Fans, if you have not bought tickets for the Meet And Greet on Saturday, March 23rd beginning at 12 noon, the show on March 24th at 6pm, or both, NOW is the time!

 

Get your tickets today at  https://dexcon.helixpay.ph/   Thank you!

MWF: Kasaysayan Show Update #4

Another match has been added to the MWF Kasaysayan show schedule for Sunday, April 14th at the UP Film Institute.

 

Oro Plata Mata's Dabid Ravena and Kurt Jiminez will take on the team of Batten X Burabura (Kyushi Pro Wrestling) and Joey Rosas (MWF).

 

This fan admittedly needs to know more about the stars from Kyushi Pro Wrestling.  Definitely, the promotion is bringing a good number of wrestlers over to the Philippines for the show.  For the kapafeds and pinoy wrestling fans who have never seen the group, this would be a great opportunity to see them live.

 

Again, for more on tickets and information on the show, please visit ticket2me.net and the Manila Wrestling Federation - MWF page on Facebook.  Thank you.

Wrestle Storm Update

Dexcon's event, Wrestle Storm, will take place the weekend of Saturday/Sunday, March 23-24th.

 

Matchmaker, Linus Santos, who is becoming one of the top matchmakers in the region, has come up with another tag team match for the March 24th show!

 

The team of Oro Plata Mata (MWF Pinoy Wrestling Champion, Jake De Leon and teammate, Dabid Ravena) will face the Calamari Drunken Kings (Chris Brookes and Masahiro Takanashi) in the second of two tag matches.

 

CDK as they are known, and as of this post, are the SPW Southeast Asia Tag Team Champions.  The team has wrestled throughout portions of Southeast Asia and has been a team to reckon with.

 

This is not to sell Oro Plata Mata short.  The Pinoy Wrestling fans, particularly at Manila Wrestling Federation shows know the capability of Jake De Leon and Dabid Ravena.  They are excellent singles wrestlers.  I've been told by sources that the two have tagged on occasions.  If I were CDK, this is a team not to be overlooked.

 

The other tag team match is for the WUW International Tag Team Championship.  TZK (Saint John Martin and Ken Cifer) will put the titles on the line against reunited Gemini Kings (ROMEO and Main Maxx).

 

There will be a Meet and Greet on Saturday, March 23rd at 12 noon at Unbox Greenhills.  The wrestling show will take place on Sunday, March 24th at Brawl Pit Bulusan in Quezon City at 6pm.

 

For more information on the show and tickets, please check the Dexcon page on Facebook!  Tickets are going well.       

The Next Title Defense

It is about three months away from Manila Wrestling Federation's next event.  The event will be Kasaysayan on Sunday, April 14th.  It will take place at the UP Film Institute in Quezon City.

 

With Jake De Leon now as the two time - MWF Pinoy Wrestling Champion, this fan has been asked who his first opponent will be for the title.

 

I'm not a matchmaker here.  This blogger can say that "Danger" Rex Lawin did win the Number One Contenders match against Ho Ho Lun at Noche Buena.  Normally, that would be the next match.

 

Fabio Makisig deserves a return match for the belt.  I say this especially since he wasn't pinned by Jake De Leon.  He was pinned by Oro Plata Mata teammate, Main Maxx.

 

Main Maxx, being in the final pairing against Jake De Leon, deserves a title shot as well, especially how the match concluded.  For those that haven't seen it, the match, in its entirety is on You Tube.   Please check the Manila Wrestling Federation page, and more important, please subscribe!  There are close to 5,000 subscribers!

 

There are more wrestlers in line such as Dabid Ravena, Nigel San Jose, Kurt Jiminez, Robin Sane and more wanting to get a shot at the title.  When one is a champion, you are more likely to be hunted than being the hunter!

 

Back to Fabio and to Main Maxx for a moment, both have interesting situations going forward.  

 

Fabio likely has Danny Zamora on his mind.  Is Danny out of the stable after what happened at Noche Buena? 

 

With Main Maxx, it's perhaps more than one wrestler since he was a part of Oro Plata Mata.

 

However, recently, Main Maxx is reuniting with R O M E O as part of a tag team known as The Gemini Kings.  They will be wrestling in an event sponsored by Dexcon called Wrestle Storm in March.  Their opponents will be the WUW International Tag Team Champions in Saint John Martin and Ken Cifer.  Will one or both teams be a part of MWF going forward in 2024?

 

We will learn more in the next few weeks.

MWF Noche Buena Update #5

There has been one match added to the Manila Wrestling Federation 2023 Noche Buena show.  The event will take place on Sunday, December 3rd.  Location is the PMC Spotlight Theater in Circuit Makati beginning at 4:30pm.  Doors will open at 4pm.

 

This match will definitely be a good one.  Both wrestlers, training partners, and with World Underground Wrestling - Philippines will be in a tag team match.

 

Saint John Martin and Ken Cifer will team up against a team yet to be named.  This is a correction from what I posted earlier.

 

In recent action at the Road To Fate show in August, both Martin and Ken took on tough opponents and won.  Martin defeated Migs Valdez in one singles match while Ken defeated Dabid Ravena in another singles encounter.  Whoever they will face could be in for a tough evening.

 

General Admission tickets for the event are still available but are moving quickly.  Please continue to check the Manila Wrestling Federation - MWF page on ticket availability and updates!

MWF: Gigil At Romansa Results

Here are the results from Manila Wrestling Federation's show, Gigil At Romansa.  The event took place on Sunday, July 9th at Mandala Park in Mandaluyong.  Due to bad weather, the event was moved from the QC Memorial Circle.   

 

 

Fabio Makisig (C) d. Dabid Ravena and retains the MWF Pinoy Wrestling Championship.

Nigel San Jose d. Main Maxx

Bro. Jomar Liwanag d. Ken Cifer.

Danny Zamora d. Isaiah Valencia.

Migs Valdez d. CJ Serafin.

Razael d. Pink Shirt.

White Shirt d. El Kapitunero.  White Shirt is now Kurt Jiminez and becomes part of Oro Plata Mata.

Jake De Leon d. Crystal.

Super Friends and HSSL end up a no contest because of the interference of Robin Sane.

Robin Sane d. Joya.  

World Underground Wrestling - Philippines

There is a third wrestling promotion in the Philippines known as World Underground Wrestling - Philippines.

 

The promotion is based at the Brawl Pit Bulusan in Quezon City. Philippines.

 

Wrestlers such as St. John Martin, Dabid Ravena, Razael, Ken Cifer and Zera hugely make up as part of the promotion.
