MWF: Noche Buena Update #3

Have an update on the Manila Wrestling Federation's show, Noche Buena scheduled for Sunday, December 3rd beginning at 4:30pm.

 

As of three hours ago, there were ONLY five ringside tickets left.  This means once they are gone, only General Admission tickets will be left.  This fan was told the last time in the PMC Spotlight Theater that the event holds 300 people for an MWF event.  

 

SO, if you plan on going, please secure your ticket as soon as possible!  There is no question that this Noche Buena will be the best wrestling show this year, and for that matter, possibly all time.

 

Now, since the last update, there have been two matches added.

 

First, the Hong Kong-Philippine Cup entrants have been set.  It will be Michael Su vs. Bitman vs. Joey Rosas in a three way match for the Cup.  I will share more about the competitors and the match in a future post.

 

The other added match will be El Kapitunero vs. Brother Benny in a singles match.  It has just been mentioned to this blogger that this will be Brother Benny's debut in the ring!

Noche Buena - The Sequel

Here it is a few days after the announcement of the Manila Wrestling Federation's upcoming show. For those who don't know yet, 2023 Noche Buena will take place on Sunday, December 3rd.  The venue is the PMC Spotlight Theater in Circuit Makati beginning at 4:30pm (doors open at 4pm).

 

The first version of Noche Buena happened back on December 9, 2017 (it just so happens to be my birthday).  According to Cagematch, the event took place at the Makati Square Arena, definitely a memorable venue for MWF events back then.

 

A year later, the crowning of a new MWF Champion took place on December 1st at the   UP Bahay ng Alumni in Quezon City.  Robin Sane would be the first MWF title holder in the promotion's history.

 

Then, of course there was last year with nine exciting matches at the PETA Theater Center in Quezon City.  It happened on Sunday, December 11th.  Among the nine quality matches that night, Isaiah Valencia would make it on to the main roster.  There was a great women's match between Crystal and Chelsea Marie.  It concluded with Fabio Makisig winning the title over a very deserving champion at the time in Jake De Leon.

 

Since that night, much has happened.  The roster has grown with the editions of Joya, Kurt Jiminez. A new faction in Oro Plata Mata has surfaced led by Mr. Sy.  Manila Wrestling Federation now can be seen in much of the Philippines.  Thanks to a new channel, Rock Of Manila TV, the possibility is now fact.  Subscribers can still watch the shows on GANK.  When the promotion is not doing their shows at the PMC Spotlight Theater, there is an outdoor venue at Mandala Park in Mandaluyong.  There have been a couple of shows there.

 

Now, we have 2023 Noche Buena.  Four matches have been made already with more on the way.

 

A unique setup for the MWF Pinoy Wrestling Championship has been determined.  You have an eight man tag team match.  The Oro Plata Mata team (Jake De Leon, Dabid Ravena, Main Maxx and Kurt Jiminez) will take on the MWF All Stars (Fabio Makisig, Robin Sane, Nigel San Jose and Danny Zamora).

 

This fan was thinking about this last night.  There are three scenarios regarding the last two wrestlers in the ring.  You could have one wrestler from each team.  Or, you can have two wrestlers from Oro Plata Mata or two wrestlers from the MWF All Stars left.  It will be a very interesting match.

 

The four way women's match with Chelsea Marie, Joya, Super P. and the debut of Patricia Ligaya is one this fan is looking forward to.

 

Then, Brother Jomar Liwanag going up against Aaron Liwanag.  The winner is the leader of the group.

 

There are, I'm told, three wrestlers from the Hong Kong Pro Wrestling Association that will wrestle at the show.  Ho Ho Lun, Bitman and Michael Su are the competitors and are definitely coming to the Philippines to win!  Ho Ho Lun is facing a capable opponent in "Danger" Rex Lawin who is back after several months away from the ring.

 

There is also the Hong Kong-Philippines Cup that will be announced soon along with several more matches.

 

Finally, after some decision making, it's time for another mini vacation and a little celebrating!  This blogger has secured his ticket and is looking forward to a couple of weeks away from America in the Philippines!  For this fan, sequels are always fun.      

MWF: Noche Buena Update #3

Two more matches have been added to the MWF: Noche Buena show scheduled for Sunday, December 3rd.  The venue is at the PMC Spotlight Theater, Circuit Makati beginning at 4:30pm.  Doors open at 4pm.

 

There will be a #1 Contender's match for the MWF Pinoy Wrestling Championship.  "Danger" Rex Lawin will take on Hong Kong's Ho Ho Lun.

 

This is Rex Lawin's biggest opportunity in coveting the MWF title.  One would probably have to go back as far as October 2018.  The new MWF title would have its first champion in December.  Rex reached as far as the semi final round of a tournament to decide a new champion.  In December, he will be in a similar position.

 

For Ho Ho Lun, he was the second MWF Champion. The Hong Kong Pro Wrestling star won the title at MWF Republika in 2019 and actually never lost the belt due to a pin or submission.  Because of the pandemic, the MWF title was vacated when the pandemic eased.  Ho Ho Lun is now getting his opportunity in getting the title back.

 

Also, in another match, Brother Jomar Liwanag will take on Aaron Liwanag.  The winner of the match will be the leader of Bahay Ng Liwanag.

 

There will be a clarification if both matches are done by Manila Rules.  Also, there will be some updates on additional matches.

 

Tickets are going well for the show.  Please continue to check the Manila Wrestling Federation - MWF page regarding tickets and any updated news.  Thanks everyone!
