SETUP Thailand Bangkok Navigation Update #9

Hello everyone!

 

SETUP Thailand's upcoming show, Bangkok Navigation, will take place this coming Saturday night at The Circus Studio G Village in Bangkok.  Doors open at 6pm with the first match at 6:30pm.

 

This fan is excited about the upcoming IWA Japan x SETUP Tag Team match.  The Good Deal (Anont Alonzo & Mr. Suchart), the current champions, face Blick Drewz and Flame Drake for the coveted championship.

 

Blick Drewz and Flame Drake are new to SETUP Thailand but not new to the wrestling scene in Thailand.  Flame Drake mentioned to me recently that Blick was his senior wrestler when they were at TOP Dojo, one of Thailand's other promotions in the country.

 

Also, Flame Drake and Mr. Suchart are friends and it was mentioned that both wrestlers were fans at SETUP's inaugural wrestling show back in 2020.

 

Since this blogger has mentioned three of the four wrestlers, I want to mention Anont Alonzo for a moment.  There is no question that he's a very good quality wrestler whether it's in singles or tag team competition.  I've seen it on video.  His opponents know this as well as the fans watching.

 

It will be interesting how the match plays out.  If it was me instead of either Flame Drake or Mr. Suchart, I'm trying to help our team win. Definitely, the importance is not only winning the match, but either winning or retaining the title.

 

The fans are definitely looking forward to the outcome of this and the other matches on the show.

 

Front row seats are sold out for Saturday's show.  Please visit the SETUP Thailand Pro Wrestling Facebook page on remaining tickets.  Thank you!

SETUP Thailand: Bangkok Navigation Update #3

Hello everyone!

 

One match has been added for SETUP Thailand's first show in January.  The show is called Bangkok Navigation.  The date is Saturday, January 18th at The Circus Studio G Village in Bangkok.  Doors for the event opens at 6pm with the first match at 6:30pm.

 

The IWA World Tag Team Championship has been just announced.  The team of Blick Drewz and Flame Drake, no strangers to the pro wrestling scene in Thailand, will take on the champions, The Good Deal (Anont Alonzo and Mr. Suchart).  This appears to be a dream match for both teams!

 

For more information on this match, the show, and for tickets, please visit the SETUP Thailand Pro Wrestling Facebook page.  Also, SETUP Thailand can be found on You Tube.  Thank you!

More About TOP Dojo

 

Back in July 2024, this blogger first heard of TOP Dojo or Thailand Origin Pro Wrestling.  It was through The Eurasian Dragon, a well known wrestler from Singapore that heads the Ring Of Rebirth promotion.

 

Ring Of Rebirth sent several wrestlers to the Bangkok area of Thailand for a show.  What I noticed right away was a little of my short background in high school.  That was wrestling on a mat.

 

This blogger will always appreciate pro wrestling whether the promotion and event is staged on a mat or a ring.  Several promotions in Southeast Asia began their quests with pro wrestling on a mat format.  Vietnam Pro Wrestling, for example, has done that.

 

It wasn't until recently on Facebook when I became friends with TOP Dojo Ring Announcer, Jason.  He shared some things about the promotion, the promotion's major show, as well as the country of Thailand.  Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia are places I would like to visit one day.

 

It appears that the groundwork for TOP Dojo began in late December 2019.

 

Led by P-Nutz and Golem Thai, TOP Dojo's first show, Reborn, would take place on February 29, 2020.  Along with the two mentioned, Jibsy, a top woman wrestler in Thailand wrestled in the show along with Blick Drewz, Kuma, Jay Yuu, Hideo (who's birthday is the same day as this blogger) and Oath took part.  The event was held at the Motorway Dojo, just east of the downtown area of Bangkok.

 

Unfortunately, less than a month later, the Covid pandemic set in and crippled pro wrestling throughout the world.  TOP Dojo would do a show late in December.  However, it wouldn't be until February 2022 before another show took place.

 

Also, because of the pandemic, several wrestlers who were at the initial show back in February 2020 are no longer wrestling currently.

 

P-Nutz, the owner and the first King Of Thai Wrestling Champion, has a very good roster.  Golem Thai, one of the original members is still an active member along with Kuma and Jay Yuu.  One of my favorites, Flame Drake, is very active.  Bobby, Jonathan Wolf, K.H.J, Earth and Mickey Rawz have made some appearances.

 

The remainder of the roster is Prince Benny (the current King Of Thai Wrestling Champion), Silver Bullet, Wassana, B. Jirawat, JT, Bahopia (a trainee) and Best Boonpa.  Jason continues to be the ring announcer and does a great job at it.  If there is anyone I missed, please message or contact me and will add them here.

 

The promotion also has stables (groups) like what you would see at New Japan Pro Wrestling.  Wassana, a masked wrestler in the promotion is a member of FREE CLANS.  P-Nutz and Golem Thai are currently BAD COMPANY.  Silver Bullet and Kuma are KAIJU and Flame Drake and Prince Benny are REVOLUTION SQUAD.

 

TOP Dojo's major show is Siam Fighter.  The latest version took place in November and was in a ring format.  Their other shows include Reinforce, Unleash, Nuclear Reaction and Overheat.  Most of the mat shows take place at the Motorway Dojo, located east of the center of Bangkok.
