Wrestling Shows And Matches


Hello everyone!

 

In my two years plus of watching Southeast Asia wrestling live, there have been some good shows, and definitely some good matches.

 

Certainly, my first show, MWF's Noche Buena in December 2022 will always be special.  The Jake De Leon vs Fabio Makisig match had this blogger on the end of his seat.

 

There was also the four way women's match at the 2023 Noche Buena show that was really good. It elevated the Pinay wrestling scene in the Philippines where it has a great future.

 

The Dexcon show that I went to in August 2023 at the Brawl Pit Bulusan was a real good one with top quality matches.

 

Then, there was the first PUSO Wrestling show this past August.  It was amazing that a show was put together in a couple of months time.  As always, kudos to the promotion.  It was a historical and enjoyable night of action.

 

Back in August 2023, I was fortunate to see my first Filipino Pro Wrestling show at Circuit Makati.  It was the company's first year in operation.

 

There were several good matches that afternoon/evening.  The Mike Madrigal-Duke Ortega FPW Title match was good.  The Yolo Twins vs. Evan Carleaux-Cali Nueva tag team encounter was good as well.

 

The main event between Ralph Imabayashi and Robbie Eagles had the fans and myself in a fever pitch at the PMC Spotlight Theater.  I remembered Imabayashi wondering if he felt he could still wrestle effectively prior to the match.


All this wrestling blogger can say is that the match was one of the best I had seen in several years.  The match had a lot of excitement, actual wrestling and more.  The fans were standing at the end of the match.  Certainly, Ralph proved to those at PMC that he is still effective! 

 

When saying this, it includes local independent promotions, New Japan Pro Wrestling, AEW and WWE house shows that I've been to in the Bay Area.

 

As a wrestling fan and blogger, it is appreciative what wrestlers like Ralph, Robbie, Jake, Fabio and others do on not only on the day of the event, but the workouts leading up to it.

 

At the same time, I'll continue to post entries on the various wrestling promotions throughout the Southeast Asia region.  The wrestlers and fans deserve this from this blogger.  I have some ideas regarding the future of the blog and will share them early next month.


Regarding future wrestling shows, am looking forward to the New Japan Pro Wrestling show in San Jose this coming January.  The fact that Zack Sabre Jr. is planning to be there is one of the reasons.

 

After that, I have some thinking and saving to do....


Happy Holidays everyone!  Please be safe out there.

Pinoy Wrestling Year In Review


This blogger was a little hesitant about doing the following post.  Since another year of my life, and Christmas are happening soon, now is a good time to do this.

 

After "wrestling" with the post,  this blogger wants to share the following thoughts about Pinoy Wrestling in 2024.  Hopefully, no one will be upset with what is mentioned here.  If anyone feels that way, please feel free to message SFWayne on Facebook or comment here on blogger.

 

The year of 2024 began with three wrestling promotions in the Philippines as well as an independent group.  The country had Dexcon (independent group), Filipino Pro Wrestling, World Underground Wrestling - Philippines and the Manila Wrestling Federation.

 

Remembering 2023 as I do, this blogger was able to attend four wrestling shows amongst the three promotions while on vacation.  Being there, viewing what was happening, seeing, listening to, and reading fan reaction, the world of local pro wrestling in the Philippines was, perhaps, at an all time high.  

 

The fan bases were, and are, amazing!  From the day I started doing this blog, the wrestlers and staff from each promotion have been very cooperative and respectful.  Am grateful to all of you.  Going to a wrestling show in the Philippines is the best!

 

The year 2024 started well with everyone.  There were shows with all four mentioned and it appeared that things were going well.  Being outside the Philippines, you would have never known that something was about to change.

 

Unfortunately, the Manila Wrestling Federation didn't make it into May.  The company folded after one major show in April, Kasasayan.  

 

This blogger won't go into what happened.  All of us, hopefully have moved on from a very bleak and unfortunate time back then.  Roughly 40 employees from the promotion were wondering if they would ever wrestle, work the event, or let alone perform again?

 

Thanks to Fabio Makisig and many others, a new promotion, PUSO Wrestling was formed in June.  In a few weeks, in August, the promotion hosted their first show.  By the end of November, the company hosted three shows, the roster has grown and the promotion now has their initial Pusong Pinoy Wrestling Champion.  The Pinay (women) wrestlers have grown as well.  

 

This blogger doesn't know if there is another promotion on the planet that had to endure what PUSO Wrestling did!  They did, and the promotion is here to stay!  On this end, I'm grateful to everyone in the promotion to be involved in a small way, and will continue to do so in 2025!

 

Filipino Pro Wrestling needed to prove themselves as well.  While PUSO Wrestling was growing, FPW was starting their second year as a company.  The promotion has had to endure things of their own.  Coming off a productive first year, would the sophomore jinx hit the promotion?

 

Fortunately, it didn't.  Yes, there was the move from the PMC Spotlight Theater to Baked Studios but they were still in Makati.  Though this blogger has not been inside the venue, it appears from wrestling fans that this is a better place for the promotion.  

 

FPW had five shows this year.  Their pinnacle event was the October show.  Jeff Cobb, wrestling with New Japan Pro Wrestling these days, won the FPW title from Mike Madrigal.  Mike had held the belt for 547 days, an enormous amount in any promotion.  Also, in 2024, FPW opened up an FPW Academy for possible new talent.  From this, the roster is slowly growing.  Hopefully, the women wrestling scene will grow in 2025!

 

Right now, FPW has their shows from the past year on their You Tube channel.  Please check it out.

 

World Underground Wrestling - Philippines had their show on July 7th this year in Tagay Na! which was a sellout and a huge success.  WUW - Philippines has also been involved with the numerous Dexcon shows that happened this year.

 

Speaking of Dexcon, what a year for the group!  The organization had events such as Wrestle Storm, Dexcon Decada and Jam Of The Joshi's/Graveyard Shift.  All of the shows have been "dynamite" with various local and wrestlers from Asia participating.  Thanks, as always, to Linus, Rosh, Cholo and others involved.  They are always trying to bring the best of wrestling talent to the Philippines.  I'm sure 2025 will have more surprises for Pinoy wrestling fans.

 

This blogger is grateful to see the cooperation between promotions.  The latest PUSO Wrestling show had Robynn from FPW participating in the Pinay Gauntlet match.  There were several wrestlers from FPW who were invited, and appeared at the show.  In seeing this, it's a good sign.  When doing this blog, promotions from countries such as Vietnam, Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia are doing this as well.  Hopefully, the fans at the PUSO event in November appreciated the talents of Robynn.  I had a chance to see her firsthand at my only FPW show in August 2023.


The Pinoy Wrestling scene going into 2025 is in good shape just as it was last year.  Continued growth and improvement is important.  Surely, all the promotions know this going into the new year.


Happy Holidays everyone!

Filipino Pro Wrestling Future


By now, the fans that follow Filipino Pro Wrestling know that the promotion just completed its second season in the Philippines.  The final show had a couple of memorable moments.  

 

Jeff Cobb, currently wrestling for New Japan Pro Wrestling, defeated Mike Madrigal for the FPW Championship.  Mike held the prestigious title for 547 days, quite a stint in today's world of pro wrestling.  Right now, the question on fans' minds is if Jeff Cobb will return to the Philippines and defend the belt?  Definitely, we won't know until next year at the earliest.

 

The roster has become stronger with the likes of Thiago and Jeffrey.  Along with the main roster with the likes of Quatro, Duke Ortega, Ralph Imabayashi, The Yolo Twins, Jan Evander, Chino Guinto and others, FPW looks strong going into 2025. 

 

Also, on another note, the stable of Jason Rex and his mentor, LegenDarius, have a third member in the fold in AB3.  Though this blogger wasn't there for the October show, I've seen enough reels and comments to know that he's part of the faction.  From what people have said, factions or stables, the storylines appear to have a fresh approach.  It will be interesting to see what next year will provide with the trio, and perhaps additions!

 

For those that may not know, Robynn, one of my favorites will be returning to the ring.  It will be a very interesting situation as she will be appearing at PUSO Wrestling's final show in a Pinay Gauntlet match.  This is a good and healthy thing, in my opinion, for the Pinoy/Pinay wrestling industry.  This blogger knows that it's none of his business what goes on behind the scenes.  However, it's good that FPW and PUSO Wrestling are cooperating on this.  Pinay wrestling has improved tremendously over the past year in the country.  Having Robynn in the November 30th match will add to what is already a quality match.

 

Finally, Season Two of FPW Astig (July 2023 -  forward) is now showing on You Tube.  Please view and subscribe to Filipino Pro Wrestling on their page.  Thank you.

The Heart Of A Champion


This blogger wasn't certain how to write this post and when he was going to do it.  However, now is the time to share it with everyone.

 

The Walking Death, Mike Madrigal of Filipino Pro Wrestling, will always be a champion in my book. As those of you know, Mike held the FPW Championship for 547 days.  

 

He took on all comers from the company that he wrestles for in the Philippines.  Earlier this year, he traveled to Malaysia to take part in a four way match for the prestigious title, and won.  Since wrestling returned to the Philippines, and the world after the Covid pandemic, he was undefeated in singles action.

 

The defeat to Jeff Cobb was, in no way, an upset.  I've had a chance to see Jeff Cobb live a couple of times when Cobb wrestled locally for an independent promotion in the Bay Area, and with New Japan Pro Wrestling.  Since the first time watching back in a local auditorium in Daly City, Jeff Cobb has improved greatly in his craft.  In fact, I'm sure that Mike Madrigal has, and will continue to improve from the experience from last month's match.

 

A little over a year ago, this blogger had an opportunity to interview him on this blog.  This happened after seeing my first FPW show.  The banger of a match that he had with Duke Ortega in August 2023 had this fan standing at the conclusion of the match.  It was that good.  I knew that FPW had a champion that they were proud of.  I had a chance to talk with Mike briefly after the show and it was an experience not to be forgotten.  

 

Mike was gracious and candid with what he said in the interview.  At the time, he wants to take pro wrestling, and with FPW to the next level.  There is no question in my mind that Mike and FPW have done just that.

 

Jeff Cobb has said that he will defend the title again in the Philippines, Japan and possibly other Southeast Asian locations.  As far as Mike Madrigal is concerned, don't be surprised if he gets another title shot down the line, as early as 2025!  He'll always be a champion!  

Pusong Pinoy Update #1


Hello everyone!

 

There has been an update regarding the Pinoy women's gauntlet match for the Pusong Pinoy - Puso Wrestling show.

 

Robynn from Filipino Pro Wrestling has been added to the Pwersang Pinay Gauntlet match scheduled for Saturday, November 30th.  This fan had an opportunity to see Robynn in action in August 2023 and she's, more than capable, to win the event.  Robynn defeated Thiago in a single's match that day.

 

The event, as mentioned, will take place on Saturday, November 30th at Brawl Pit Bulusan beginning at 6pm.  For more, including tickets, please visit the PUSO Wrestling Facebook page.  Thank you.

FPW Astig October Show Update #3


Hello everyone.

 

There have been several updates for the FPW Astig October 20th show since the last post.  The event will take place on Sunday, October 20th, 2pm at the Baked Studios in Makati City.

 

As noted on the top of the post, LegenDarius will make his wrestling debut.  He will team up with Jason Rex and the team will take on Dax Xaviera and AB3.

 

Robynn will return to FPW after an injury earlier this year and be in action.

 

Vandals Manila (The Yolo Twins and Quatro) will also be in action in the next show.

 

Jeffrey will take on Thiago in a rematch of a match earlier this year.

 

SPD (formerly Shaun P. Diddy) from Grapplemax Pro Wrestling Singapore will make his Philippines debut at the show against an opponent yet to be named.

 

Finally, Outback Adam who has wrestled at an FPW event before, will return in singles action against Idol James Martinez.

FPW Astig October Show Update #2


Hello everyone!

 

A day or so ago, this blogger mentioned about the main event for the FPW Astig's October show.  That would be the FPW Championship match between current champion, Mike Madrigal and New Japan Pro Wrestling's, Jeff Cobb.

 

For those wondering on when the show will take place, it is on Sunday, October 20th, 2pm at Baked Studios in Makati City, Philippines.

 

One additional match has already been announced and is very important for all three wrestlers.

 

A Triple Threat match between Chino Guinto, Ralph Imabayashi and Duke Ortega is one match that in this blogger's opinion, is a Main Event anywhere in Southeast Asia.

 

Starting with Chino Guinto, every upcoming match for him is like an elimination game in the NBA Playoffs.  Win and continue wrestling.  Lose and retire.  Chino has done his best wrestling, according to sources, and has aspirations towards an FPW Championship Title shot in the future.

 

Ralph Imabayashi wants to continue to prove, not only to himself, but to the fans, that he's the best grappler.  He has proven that throughout his career wrestling in the Philippines.  With a win, he could definitely be just that, and very likely, another FPW title shot! 

 

Duke Ortega wants to make a point.  He has improved since the day Filipino Pro Wrestling began.  He has done very well in numerous matches that he has taken part in.  He may be overlooked by some fans, but in a triple threat match, anything can happen.  This blogger doesn't sell him short.

FPW Astig October Show Update


Next week, this blogger will update readers on Filipino Pro Wrestling Astig's October show with the updated lineup of events.  The next show will be held at Baked Studios, Makati City on Sunday, October 20th beginning at 2pm.

 

Headlining this show will be a huge main event for the FPW Championship.  Mike Madrigal, the current FPW Champion, will have his toughest test to date.  His opponent is someone that is well known throughout Japan and in North America.  Jeff Cobb is his name and is currently the NJPW Television Champion.

 

This blogger has seen Jeff Cobb twice.  I saw him in a local promotion back in 2017 at an All Pro Wrestling show that was held in the Cow Palace in Daly City.  He won a four way match for APW's Universal Title.  A year later, at my first ever NJPW show, also at the Cow Palace, he fell short to Hiroshi Goto for the NJPW Never Openweight Title.

 

Cobb has wrestled in the Philippines once before to my understanding.  He faced Chris Panzer and Quatro in a three way match for the PWR Title in which Panzer won in 2019.

 

Regarding Mike Madrigal, he has taken on all comers since winning the title in 2023.  He won a three-way to win the title, traveled to Malaysia in 2024, and won a four way match to retain the title there and recently, as Team Madrigal, won a five on five match at the last FPW Astig show in September.  

 

Some people may think that Mike Madrigal may be over his head in this matchup against a more experienced wrestler who has wrestled over 1000 matches, and since 2009.

 

However,  this blogger believes that the best is yet to come for the FPW Champion.  As Ric Flair once said, "to be the best, you have to beat the best!"  This could very well be a match that elevates Madrigal like never before!

A New Stable In Town (Part One)

Filipino Pro Wrestling's Jason Rex with LegenDarius with the mic after defeating Dax Xaviera at the September FPW Astig show.  Great photo courtesy of Luis Del Rosario!

 

 

Over the years, pro wrestling has had something called "stables".  For those new to pro wrestling, a stable is a group of one or more wrestlers that have a manager or an advisor.

 

Some of the first stables included groups led by the late and great Bobby Heenan of AWA and the WWF.  Heenan had some greats in his stable such as Nick Bockwinkel, Ray Stevens, Andre The Giant, Mr. Perfect, Paul Orndorff and even Ric Flair!  In a match, you would never know what Heenan was up to.  At times, he would even wrestle as part of a tag team and the fans would love it whether he got his butt kicked or assist in a victory.

 

Part One of a new stable is about Filipino Pro Wrestling in the Philippines.  For those who haven't been to their shows ever or recently, a new stable has been formed.

 

Jason Rex, formerly another wrestler (Brad Cruz) in the days of Philippine Wrestling Revolution, has returned to the ring, and in a huge way.  Advised and/or managed by LegenDarius, he is a force to be reckoned with.

 

Whether the FPW wrestling fans like thia duo or not, this is a fresh approach and a feel good story for pro wrestling.  In fact, you could say that this story is very similar to Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine from the Star Wars series!

 

After Rex's latest win over Dax Xaviera at the September FPW Astig show, this blogger has been told that the fans received an introduction of sorts.  And it didn't come soon enough for those watching at Baked Studios.  


LegenDarius got on the mic following the victory.  The fans were told that this duo has not only arrived, but will create punishment.  LegenDarius scolded Dax Xaviera for overlooking the two before, during, and after the match!  The monologue continued until AB3, a FPW wrestler came out from the locker room.  LegenDarius and the undefeated, Jason Rex left the ring and returned to the locker room.

 

It will be interesting what the future holds for both Jason Rex and LegenDarius.  This wrestling blogger senses that it will be a bright future for them and for Filipino Pro Wrestling.

Interview #16 - LegenDarius


The next interview is involving someone who made his introduction at the July Filipino Pro Wrestling FPW Astig show.  His name is  LegenDarius.

 

Fans who were at the event feel that he is a manager to a new wrestler on the roster by the name of Jason Rex.  However, instead of going further on this, this blogger will let LegenDarius  share what happened at the July show.  Since this blogger wasn't in attendance, I found out bits and pieces of what transpired that day.  Thank you to LegenDarius in agreeing to this interview.  Here we go.

 

Wayne:  What led you to becoming a manager? 

 

LegenDarius:  I'll be showing the real me in this interview, so apologies in advance. I just recently learned what a "wrestling gimmick" is, and now I understand that I've been playing this gimmick persona of being a super nice wrestling fan. It feels amazing to finally be able to be myself.

 

To be clear, I don't mind being called a manager, but I'm more of a mentor—a strategist. Nothing led me to the position I am in today. I've planned everything from the start. In terms of how we started planning this, it was actually my apprentice, Jason Rex, who put pro wrestling on my radar. I had to get involved in the industry to ensure the success of one of my students, and it then evolved into a bigger mission.

 

"Amateurs seek the sun. Get eaten. Power stays in the shadows." — Lewis Strauss.

 

I had nothing to do with Philippine wrestling until about two years ago. Then, suddenly, my research team successfully made people believe I was this super fan attending FPW and MWF shows. I even gaslighted some fans into thinking I was with them at events years before, even though my first time ever watching a wrestling show was at FPW's first shows. I'm sorry, guys, but I've never actually been to "PWR Homecoming". And to be clear, I didn't lie; my team tricked you. 

 

You interviewed me before, and it was one of your most-viewed interviews, and that has been by design. It's all part of the data collection process and a means to subtly and covertly win over the trust of the fans and the people involved in the industry. 

 

The next step was to get my foot in the door, so I started attending training sessions at the FPW Academy. During that time, I grew closer to rare individuals who not only shared my philosophy but were "pure" in understanding and living my concepts. Let's just say I had to learn how to become "sigma," and some people are just born with it—I'm not going to tell you exactly who they are. 

 

Then, my team said I had to make sure people felt good about me. A consultation firm created my training vignettes so more people would perceive me better. It was a risky step, as it could put off some people seeing a trainee already releasing training montages. But my analysts said this was part of how I could infiltrate more effectively, as it would make the "mark fans" in the wrestling industry relate to me more. Finally, I was able to become what they call a "Young Boy"—a sort of usher and security for FPW shows. 

 

The last show was a canon event. Jason Rex was facing someone who disrespected him in the past. It was a calculated risk, but it was the right moment to step out of the shadows and make things right. Here is a bit of footage from that show: https://www.instagram.com/p/C-4r19cvQhp/ 

 

I don't mind getting my hands dirty, so if I have to get in the ring for the sake of my mission, I will. 

 

Now we're at a point where the world can see who I really am, and we can actually influence the direction of the local wrestling industry—and eventually, hopefully, the entire world. 

 

Wayne:  Tell us more about Jason Rex. 

 

LegenDarius:  Jason Rex used to be known as Brad Cruz, the "Manila Bae" of an old defunct promotion. He was deluded by society into having dreams of becoming a star, which meant he had to be materialistic, vain, and had to pander to society's wants. 

 

But he was able to see the light—that the ladders he wanted to climb were part of a world built on fantasy, mind-controlled advertising, synthetic food made to make us feel weak and wanting to consume more, psychological warfare on social media, and propaganda news designed to distract and divide us. (Why the heck should people care about Carlos Yulo's family drama?) The world hypnotized Brad Cruz, but my secret sigma seminars woke him up from his slumber. I rechristened him and made him into Jason Rex, The Manila Beast! 

 

Wayne:  What are your thoughts on the new venue, Baked Studios? 

 

LegenDarius:  Baked Studios is the stage that will set the world of Philippine wrestling on fire. A great mix of lights, lasers, screens, and overall production creates an otherworldly, surreal atmosphere. That’s exactly the kind of environment where moments are made. It's a venue that matches the caliber of talent FPW wrestlers bring to the table. The roster thrives in places like this—especially my apprentice. 

 

Wayne:  What are your thoughts on Filipino Pro Wrestling now and its future? 

 

LegenDarius:  Filipino Pro Wrestling will keep on growing. Every show, a huge fraction of the audience is people watching wrestling for the first time. The talent here is hungry, the energy is electric, and FPW will continue to evolve and get bigger with time. 

 

But the sun will set on the current era of FPW. Jason Rex and I will use the platform of Filipino Pro Wrestling to help steer the ship of culture itself. 

 

Just so people understand, I am not Andrew Tate or Josh Mojica. I am not here to sell courses to make people rich, and I don't condone misogyny. I am here to build people up, to wake them up to the truth that we live in a dystopia that intentionally wants to harm us, make us weak, so we can be slaves and just consume. I want people to unleash the beast within them. 

 

Against my own wants, I make "relatable" short-form content so I can try to reach people outside the wrestling niche. But it's mostly so people can connect with us—the first step in waking people up. If I can transform Brad Cruz into Jason Rex, I hope to do the same for everyone else. But if they want to reach their beast self, they should follow me on socials, FPW, and Jason Rex.

LegenDarius, thank you so much for the interview.  As this is being posted, Legendarius and Jason Rex are preparing for the next FPW show, FPW Astig.  The show is on Sunday, September 15th at 2pm at Baked Studios in Makati City.

 

Jason Rex will be taking on Dax Xaviera in one of several matches that afternoon.  This match is important for both wrestlers as a victory could move one of them closer to an FPW Championship Title match down the line.

 

For tickets, please visit the FPW - Filipino Pro Wrestling Facebook page.  All the best to LegenDarius and to Jason Rex in the next show, and going forward!

FPW Unfinished Business #3

 


Hello everyone!

There is one match that's been added to the show, and this has the makings of a very good one!

 

Jason Rex with Legendarius will make their debut together when they take on Dax Xaviera in one of several matches in the show.  From what this blogger understands, there is great chemistry between Rex and Legendarius.  Also, this match could be a stepping stone for the winner.  A possible FPW Championship title shot could await the victor somewhere down the line.

One Match Added For FPW's Unfinished Business


Hello everyone!


There is one match added to Filipino Pro Wrestling's show, Unfinished Business.  The show will take place on Sunday, September 15th at Baked Studios in Makati City beginning at 2pm.


Chino Guinto, continuing his drive towards an FPW Championship title show, will face Jan Evander in a singles match.  As this is being posted, Chino is in route or about to travel to Vietnam.  He will be a part of Vietnam Pro Wrestling's show this coming Saturday.


Jan Evander will provide him a stern test as he's look towards a title shot of his own.  I'm told that Chino has never beaten Jan, so a victory is vital if he wants a title shot.

Congratulations Mike!


Hello everyone!

 

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!
