Congratulations!

Congratulations to the Manila Wrestling Federation on selling out their first show - Kasaysayan!

 

The upcoming show will be taking place on Sunday, April 14th at the UP Film Institute Media Center at UP Dillman in Quezon City.

 

Everyone from Veronica, Tarek, William, Sonny, Romeo and the staff, to the MWF locker room deserve much credit for this.  Also, having a social media outlet page on Facebook as well as Rock Of Manila TV is an asset for wrestling fans throughout the Philippines.

 

The kapafeds and Pinoy wrestling fans deserve some credit as well.  From my experiences of seeing three shows going back to December 2022, fans whom I've talked with, believe in the product.  You can see it from the communication seen on Facebook for example.

 

With the event just over three weeks away, this fan is definitely excited with what the Kasaysayan show, and upcoming shows will bring during the rest of 2024 and beyond.  

 

Pro wrestling has done quite well in Southeast Asia already this year with sold out shows in several countries.  Right now, it's a great time in being a wrestling fan!

The First Kasaysayan Show

The Elements @ Centris In Quezon City, Philippines.

 

This blogger wanted to try something new today unlike ever before on this blog.

 

This year, in 2024, it is the 10th anniversary of the first modern day era wrestling shows in the Philippines.

 

Next month, the Manila Wrestling Federation will be having their first show, MWF Kasaysayan at the UP Film Institute Media Center at UP Dillman.  The show is scheduled for Sunday, April 14th.

 

If my information is correct, and hopefuly this is okay to post, the first Kasaysayan show happened about six years earlier, on Sunday, April 8, 2018.  The location was The Elements @ Centris (photo pictured above) in Quezon City, PH.  The location of the building is still there today.

 

There were six matches on the show that day.  Some familiar names this fan saw in the results were Fabio Makisig, Jomar, Rex Lawin, Robin Sane, Kyle Sison along with The Eurasian Dragon from Ring Of Rebirth and Ho Ho Lun with Dragon Gate.  There is a short video on You Tube with the highlights of the show.

 

According to Cagematch, here are the results from the show (please let me know if any info was left out.  Thanks.)....

Fabio Makisig d. Jomar Liwanag

Aldrin Richards and Hanzello Shilva d. Ashura and Kyle Sison.

Rex Lawin d. Frankie Thurteen by TKO.

Gigz Striker and RG d. The Holdapers.

Ninja Ryujin d. Morgan Vaughn.

The Eurasian Dragon and Mr. Lucha d. Robin Sane and Ho Ho Lun.

 

Fast forwarding to today, the last we checked, there are around 50 general admission tickets left for the upcoming Kasaysayan show.  Please check the Manila Wrestling Federation - MWF page on Facebook for any updates.  For tickets, please visit the ticket2me.net website.  Thank you.

Some Pinoy Wrestling Updates!

Over the past few hours, this blogger learned that ringside seats for the Manila Wrestling Federation Kasaysayan Show are now sold out!

 

This is definitely good news.  Personally, I don't know how much the UP Film Institute Media Center holds for a pro wrestling event.  From seeing photos, it definitely looks more than the PMC Spotlight Theater and the PETA Center.  This coming summer when visiting, I hope to get a chance to see it prior to seeing the MWF Road To Fate show in August.

 

Speaking of MWF Kaysaysan, this definitely is a star studded show.  Hopefully, if any wrestling fan hasn't bought a ticket or tickets yet, please do so! It's never a great idea in waiting until the last minute.  The last show I went to in December, there were a few people that, nearly, didn't get tickets!  The show was sold out!

 

Just to remind everyone, the MWF Kasaysayan show in on Sunday, April 14th, 4:30pm, at the UP Film Institute Media Center.

 

Following the show, there will be a Meet And Greet.  You MUST have a ticket to be at the Meet And Greet!

 

Also, with the past few hours, the poster for the upcoming Dexcon wrestling show and Meet And Greet is now up at UNBOX Greenhills.  Definitely, the poster looks pretty cool!  

 

The Meet And Greet is on Saturday, March 23rd beginning at 12 noon.

             

Please note the following info:  WrestleBazaar is a FREE Entry event where you can shop your favorite wrestling merch, meet other wrestling fans and talk about anything wrestling.

 

 

Simultaneously happening is the WrestleStorm Meet and Greet where you can meet the stars of WrestleStorm before the big day.

 

 

Buy your meet and greet tickets at https://dexcon.helixpay.ph/

 

 

On Sunday, March 24th, the actual show takes place at Brawl Pit Bulusan beginning at 6pm.  Next week, I will update everyone on the matches for the show once again.

MWF Kasaysayan Show Update #9

Isaiah Valencia, a rising star with MWF will face Mentai Kid with Kyushu Pro Wrestling in Japan.  Mentai Kid is a former Kyushu Pro Wrestling Champion with the promotion.

MWF Kasaysayan Show Update #8

MWF Kasaysayan Update #7

Kodai Nozaki may be a pro wrestler that is unfamiliar to wrestling fans in the Philippines.

 

However, to wrestling fans that follow Kyushu Pro Wrestling, and to fans that follow the promotion in Japan, he's well known.

 

The two time Kyushu Pro Wrestling champion will face Manila Wrestling Federation's CJ Serafin at MWF Kasaysayan this coming April 14th.  The venue is the UP Film Institute Media Center, UP Dillman in Quezon City.

 

This blogger has seen the "roller coaster" career of CJ Serafin over the last year.  A former member of the stable, Barangay Bagsakan, CJ has wrestled in a couple of tag team matches of late.  On April 14th, he appears to be going solo in what might be his biggest test as a wrestler.

 

For more regarding tickets and the meet and greet, please visit the Manila Wrestling Fedeartion - MWF page on Facebook.  Thank you.

MWF Kasaysayan Update #6

Hello everyone!  There will be an added match for MWF's Kasaysayan show scheduled for Sunday, April 14th.  The venue is the UP Film Institute Media at UP Dillman in Quezon City.

 

The popular El Katipunero from Manila Wrestling Federation will take on Genkai from Kyushu Pro Wrestling in a singles match.

 

El Kapitunero is popular amongst the kapafeds with Manila Wrestling Federation and always rises to the occasion no matter the opponent.  Genkai will be a huge challenge since he is a three time - Kyushu Pro Wrestling Champion! 

 

For more information on the show including tickets, please visit the Manila Wrestling Federation - MWF page on Facebook.  Early bird tickets are available on the ticket2me.net website. Thank you.

Kyushu Pro Wrestling

On Sunday, April 14th, Manila Wrestling Federation will be holding their next show, MWF Kasaysayan in cooperation with Kyushu Pro Wrestling.  The event will be held at the UP Film Institute Media Center in UP Dillman.

 

Other than former WWE wrestler, Tajiri, who will be in a main event, hardly did this fan know of the rest of the roster.

 

Earlier today, I watched a match on You Tube between Naoki Sakurajima and Hitamaru Sasaki in a recent singles match. The two wrestlers will be taking on WOW Tag Team Champions, Saint John Martin and Ken Cifer in a championship match.

 

There were several things that impressed me.  First off, early in the singles match, it reminded me of the early days of watching wrestling in the Territory Era.  There was actual wrestling in this match as there was with two quality competitiors back in the day.  The match was nearly 20 minutes long with the result ending in a draw.  However, it was a little controlled but exciting.

 

I'm not saying that I don't like how the product is today with the acrobatic skills, high flying and sometimes crazy maneuvers.  However, matches like Naoki Sakurajima and Hitamaru Sasaki need to happen more often.

 

The other thing that stood out was the fact that there were a lot of young fans there.  The young fans are what helps make the product great and they are the future fans going forward.

 

Kyushu Pro Wrestling is on You Tube and on Facebook.  I don't speak Japanese but looking at their Facebook page and their website, they have a busy schedule.  The MWF Kasaysayan event is on there.

 

For fans who have never seen Kyushu Pro Wrestling and are looking to familiarize themselves with the wrestlers, please check their You Tube page of their recent matches.  I believe the fans are in for a great time at the UP Film Institute.

MWF Kasaysayan Meet And Greet

Hello everyone.  My apologies on not mentioning about this earlier.

 

The Manila Wrestling Federation show, MWF: Kasaysayan will have a Meet And Greet following the event.  The show will take place on Sunday, April 14th (I believe at 4:30pm) at the UP Film Institute Media Center at UP Dillman.

 

There is an option that wrestling fans have regarding the actual show and the Meet And Greet.  Before making any decisions, please read all the instructions about the show and the Meet and Greet before purchasing tickets.  The instructions and information are very important here.  I added the Meet & Greet Mechanics that is on top of this blog entry.

 

This fan and blogger mentions this because it's important that every fan knows about this before attending the Kasaysayan show on April 14th!

 

Any questions, and/or for more information, please check the Manila Wrestling Federation - MWF page on Facebook.  Thank you.

MWF Kasaysayan Update #5

Hello everyone!  We now have a triple threat match lined up for the MWF Kasaysayan show scheduled for Sunday, April 14th at the UP Film Institute at UP Dillman.

 

The participants will be Nigel San Jose, Main Maxx and Danny Zamora.  Looking back to last year, all three participants took part in the eight man elimination match for the MWF Pinoy Wrestling Championship at Noche Buena.  

 

Main Maxx was in the final paring when losing to Jake DeLeon for the MWF Championship in December.  Certainly, he's in line for a shot at the championship once again.

 

Nigel San Jose and Danny Zamora are more, than considered, challenges for the MWF belt as well.  This blogger doesn't know if this is possibly a number one contender's match but it may make for a suggestion.

 

For more on tickets and info regarding the show, please check the ticket2me.com website as well as the Manila Wrestling Federation page on Facebook.  Thank you.

MWF Kasaysayan Show Update #3

Since last posting on the MWF Kasaysayan show, there have been two matches added.  The event will be held on Sunday, April 14th at 4:30pm at the UP Film Institute Media Center.

 

Both matches will feature stars from the Manila Wrestling Federation and Kyushu Pro Wrestling in Japan.

 

Tajiri and Fabio Makisig will take on Aso-San and Jomar.

and

Saint John Martin and Ken Cifer (C) vs. Naoki Sakurajima and Hitamaru Sasaki for the WUW Tag Team Championship.

 

This show is lining up to be one of the best, if not the best shows ever in the Philippines.  For more on the show, including tickets, please check the ticket2me.net website as well as the Manila Wrestling - MWF page on Facebook.  Thank you.   

MWF Kasaysayan Show Update #2

Back at December's Manila Wrestling Federation show, Noche Buena, there was a historical event.

 

For the first time, MWF had an All Women's Four Way match.  It was a monumental evening as Super P would win the event.  The kapafeds, who were there that night at the PMC Spotlight Theater, cheered loudly before, during and after the match.  It was definitely one of the highlights of the evening.

 

At the Kasaysayan show this coming April 14th, another bit of history will happen once again.  The team of Super P and Patricia Ligaia will take on Joya and Chelsea Marie in a Women's Tag Team Match.

 

The event will take place at the UP Film Institute Media Center, UP Dillman in Quezon City.  For more on tickets and the show, please check the Manila Wrestling Federation - MWF page on Facebook and ticket2me.net.  Thank you.   

MWF Kasaysayan Show Update #1

Hello everyone.  One match has been officially announced for the Manila Wrestling Federation show, Kasaysayan 2024.  The event will take place on Sunday, April 14th at the UP Film Institute Media Center at UP Dillman.

 

The two time - MWF Pinoy Wrestling Champion, Jake De Leon will put the title up against the number one contender, "Danger" Rex Lawin.

 

For those who didn't read the last post,   

Kasaysayan 2024 is co-presented by MWF and Kyushu Pro Wrestling .

 

Early bird tickets for the show is between February 9th and March 24th.  For more, please check the ticket2me.net website.  Also, please check the Manila Wrestling Federation - MWF page for more details.  Thank you.

MWF Kasaysayan 2024

The 2024 Pro Wrestling year in Southeast Asia has taken off so far with several promotions doing big shows in China, Singapore and Thailand for example.  Well, in the Philippines, there is another one headed your way!

 

Manila Wrestling Federation will make history in the country at their first event, Kasaysayan, on Sunday, April 14th.  The event will be held at the UP Film Institute, UP Dillman beginning at 4:30pm.  

 

The event will be a co-presentation of wrestlers with the Manila Wrestling Federation and Kyushu Pro Wrestling, based out of Fukuoka, Japan.

 

Recently before this announcement, this fan wanted to learn more about the promotion and the style of wrestling.  Kyushu Pro Wrestling was founded in October 2007 and actually launched in July 2008 by Ryota Chikuzen.  The promotion, a non profit organization, has been very successful in the 15 years.  They have two active championships in the singles and tag team championships.  To my understanding, the promotion is very much involved in the community with charitable work.

 

If anyone has heard of a wrestler by the name of Tajiri, he is a very familiar name in Japanese pro wrestling as well as in America.  Tajiri wrestled in ECW and with WWE several years back and is very well known throughout all of Asia.

 

This fan wasn't aware of this but Tajiri signed with Kyushu Pro Wrestling in January 2003.  Then he won the Kyushi Pro Wrestling Championship at Jokyo 2023 the same night!

 

So, on April 14th, the kapafeds and pinoy wrestling fans will get a chance to see stars such as Jake De Leon, Fabio Makisig, Tajiri, perhaps the current Kyushi Pro Wrestling champion, Kodai Nazaki and more at the event.

 

For more info, including tickets, please check the Manila Wrestling Federation website and the ticket2me.net website for more.  Thank you. 

JDL vs. Rex Lawin Match

This blogger hasn't done a Manila Wrestling Federation post in awhile.  The reason is that their next show isn't until April.  However, I've seen some things recently that may be of interest to everyone.

 

As the kapafeds and/or the Pinoy wrestling fans know by now, Jake De Leon won the MWF Pinoy Wrestling Title at the 2023 Noche Buena show in December.  It happened in an eight man elimination match, the final match of the night.

 

Earlier in the evening, Danger Rex Lawin defeated Ho Ho Lun in a #1 Contender's Match for a future shot at the coveted title.

 

This fan is not a matchmaker here, and will never be!  The assumption of most fans is that JDL vs. Rex Lawin will happen at the next show in April.  That would be Kasaysayan at the UP Film Institute.  For all of you reading this, that is up to MWF management.  It could happen at the following show, Republika in May.

 

Definitely, I can see this being a good match.  Both competitors are working hard in getting ready for 2024.  Both wrestlers did finish 2023 with victories which gives both of them momentum.  Also, the two are ring veterans meaning that one could possibly defeat the other on a given night.

 

Also, this fan believes former champion, Fabio Makisig, at one point, deserves a rematch.  Fabio, because of the rules of the match, lost the title.  However, he was not pinned or submitted to the eventual champion in the match itself.

 

As well, there is a very good possibility that Jake De Leon may face Main Maxx.  As of this post, we don't know if Main Maxx is still a part of Oro Plata Mata.  It is an assumption that he is no longer with them.  We will know in the upcoming weeks whether that is true.    

Speaking of this, looking ahead, this fan is interested seeing the paths of three wrestlers going forward.  During the Noche Buena show, there were some interesting moments at the end of matches involving C.J. Serafin, Danny Zamora and Main Maxx.  All three were a part of three stables within MWF.

 

Though I won't be there, this fan is excited that Main Maxx is teaming up with Romeo once again.  The Dexcon show in March will tell all of us if the two will team up perhaps in MWF shows sometime during the year.

 

Recently, I watched a livestream of Libreng Lucha.  Both C.J. Serafin and Danny Zamora were part of a tag team in a two on one handicap.  The event was held at the Brawl Pit Bulusan.

 

Though C.J and Danny won the match, it appeared that they were not exactly on the same page.  There appeared to be tension between the two, at times, but they got the victory.  

 

Definitely, this fan, and hopefully those watching MWF shows will be excited about the upcoming year.  Definitely, there will be some surprises.

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.
