MWF 2024 Republika

Hello everyone!

 

By now, the kapafeds and Pinoy wrestling fans know that the Manila Wrestling Federation show was a huge success according to sources.  A special congratulations to MWF and Kyushu Pro Wrestling in Japan on a successful show before a sold out crowd.  As per the standard here, I won't post any full results until the Kasaysayan show has been shown on GANK and/or Rock Of Manila TV.

The next show is MWF Republika to be held at UP Bahay Ng Alumni on Sunday, May 12th beginning at 4pm.  The 2024 Chilly Willy Wrestling Cup in its second year will be held that day.

There has been one match regarding the cup that is now official.  

 

El Kapitunero will face Serafin Liwanag (formerly CJ Serafin) in a singles match.

Two other matches have been added besides the one Cup match.

 

Joya will take on Chelsea Marie in a women's single match.

 

Also, MWF Pinoy Wrestling Champion, Jake De Leon will face the number one contender, Main Maxx AND Fabio Makisig in a three way main event match for the title.  Makisig is implementing his rematch clause from last December's Noche Buena show.

 

Finally, my apologies for not posting this earlier, but I'm recovering from an accident last week on public transportation in my area.  Definitely feeling better and able to get back to blogging.

MWF Kasaysayan 2023 Flashback

Hello everyone.

 

As part of the ten year anniversary of the modern day Philippines wrestling, here were the results of last year's MWF Kasaysayan event.  The venue was the Fitness Playground PH. on Sunday, March 5th. 

Danny Zamora d. Main Maxx.

Nigel San Jose and Fabio Makisig d. Jake De Leon and Ken Warren.

Crystal d. Aaron Liwanag.

Fabio Makisig d. Migs Valdez in a non title bout.

Jake de Leon d. Ken Warren in Jake's 100th career match.

Chilly Willy Wrestling Cup:

Ken Cifer d. Zera.

Razael d. Ace Clark.

Dabid Ravena d. Pablo Salvacion.

El Kapitunero d. Dante Guinoo.

Ken Cifer d. Razael.

Dabid Ravena d. El Kapitunero

Ken Cifer d. Dabid Ravena.

Sunny Z vs. Bro. Jonar Liwanag.

 

 

There were a lot of memories that happened that day.  First off, this was the first MWF event of the year, and it happened at the Fitness Playground PH., I believe for the first time.

 

 

The first Chilly Willy Wrestling Cup took place with Ken Cifer winning it.  There were a total of 13 matches that day, probably a Manila Wrestling Federation record for one show.

 

 

Fabio Makisig would wrestle in a match for the first time after winning the MWF Pinoy Wrestling Championship.

 

 

Jake De Leon would wrestle his tag team partner, Ken Warren in what would be Jake's 100th wrestling match.  Also, the event would be the last time that Ken Warren would wrestle in the Philippines.  Ken is now living in Canada and still wrestling for a promotion currently. 

April 14th

Sunday, April 14, 2024 will be a historic day for pro wrestling in the Philippines!  The post is a little long.  My thoughts on this day are long overdue. 

 

At 2pm, Filipino Pro Wrestling will have their show, FPW Astig.  The live event will take place at the PMC Spotlight Blackbox Theater in Circuit Makati.

 

Here are the matches that are lined up so far.....

Mike Madrigal vs. Robynn for the FPW Championship.

Duke Ortega vs. Ralph Imabayashi.

Jan Evander vs. Thiago.

The YOLO Twins and 'Good Guy' Quatro vs. James 'Idol" Martinez, Evan Carleaux and Cali Nueva.

 

There are possibly more matches to be announced.  It's always a good idea to check their Facebook page.  Tickets for the FPW Astig show are still available by going to the ticket2me.net website!  As always, please check the FPW - Filipino Pro Wrestling page on Facebook for more information.

 

Now, I would like to share something with the Pinoy wrestling fans (FPW, MWF, WUW and/or any combination thereof).  

 

This fan realizes, per the Pinoy wrestling fans he knows on social media, that there are two different promotions with two shows happening on the same day (April 14th) in two different areas of Metro Manila.  Because of this, up until this post, it was appropriate to separate the two shows and the information regarding both. 

 

There was a moment recently when, at least two pinoy wrestling fans, were disappointed that the show they wanted to go to was "sold out" already.  This fan had yet to respond back because of the disappointment.

 

There are two things that this blogger would like to share on the matter....

 

First and foremost.....Filipino Pro Wrestling has had their shows at the PMC Spotlight Blackbox Theater since their inception in October 2022.  It is difficult to get a booking of any kind, per sources, to the venue.  Since FPW Astig's last show was in February, I'm certain that they wanted to have another show within a certain time frame.  It just so happened that April 14th was the best time for the show.  I believe this per my sources.

 

Second thing, and this is just as important to everyone reading.....Though I've been to more shows of another promotion (Manila Wrestling Federation) during my Philippines' visits, it doesn't mean that I don't like, or don't care, about FPW.  In fact, this fan raved about the FPW Astig show last August just as I did with the MWF and WUW shows!   

 

Having a chance to talk and photo-op with wrestlers, wrestling fans and Red after the show that day was important.  It was every bit as important, as my first Manila Wrestling Federation show with wrestlers, wrestling fans, Veronica and Tarek.  It was every bit as important at the WUW (Dexcon) show last summer with wrestlers, wrestling fans, and with Saint John Martin.

 

In conclusion, I'm here blogging, not to change the opinion of Pinoy wrestling fans, nor to favor one promotion over another.  In every sport, and in this case, sports entertainment, there is a fan base with each of the promotions.  In America where I live, there is the continual bashing of the two major promotions in AEW and WWE.  I've been to both promotions shows in this country over the past year because I love pro wrestling.

 

In saying all of this, at the same time, there's nothing wrong with liking one promotion over the other either.  It's just that this fan appreciates what all the promotions try to do.  Maybe, it is being a purist with the industry.  The promotions are trying their best to entertain the fans the best way they know how!

 

On Sunday, April 14, 2024, Pinoy wrestling fans have a great opportunity like never before.  One show at UP Dillman is sold out!  There is NO reason, other than other obligations one might have that day, why the FPW show cannot do the same!  Having two sold out shows will show wrestling fans throughout Southeast Asia that wrestling fans are alive and well in the Philippines!  It will put the rest of Southeast Asia on notice.

 

Please have a good day everyone!

MWF Kasaysayan 2019

Today, another history filled moment in Manila Wrestling Federation history.

 

According to Cagematch, the second edition of the Manila Wrestling Federation show, Kasaysayan 2019, took place at Mandala Park, Mandaluyong City, on Sunday, April 13. 2019.

 

Here are the results from the show according to Cagematch. (Note - If there is a discrepancy regarding the results, please message me and I'll correct it immediately.  The information put on their website isn't always accurate from past history.  Thank you.).

 

Robin Sane d. Danger Rex Lawin in Robin's first MWF Pinoy Wrestling Championship title defense!

Mr. Lucha d. Luchadonna.

Khayl Sison d. Fabio Makisig. 

 Red Shirt d. White Shirt.

Youngblood (Frankie Thurteen and Morgan Vaughn w/Ashura) d. Jomar Liwanag and Moses Liwanag.

Dexcon Wrestle Storn Recap

From the comments, video, pics and more, there is no question that pro wrestling in the Philippines had a very successful weekend!

 

The two day event featured a Meet And Greet known as Wrestle Bazaar.  That was held at Unbox Greenhills.  The Sunday event known as Wrestle Storm was the actual show that was held at the Brawl Pit Bulusan.  There were seven matches on the show according to sources.

 

Normally, there would be results for everyone.  There will be a stream of the show like there was last August.  At the appropriate time after people get a chance to see it, the results will then be posted.  

 

I've talked, messaged and texted with several people and have seen several photos, video and comments.  It appeared that the show was definitely a success.

 

From this sponsor, a special thank you to Shivam (SETUP), Calamari Drunken Kings (DDT, Chocopro and SETUP) and Kappa World Order (SETUP) for traveling all the way from Thailand and appearing at the show.  Shivam deserves a special thanks because he wrestled at a SETUP show in Thailand against Zach Sabre Jr. in a main event the night before!

 

Certainly, thank you to the wrestlers from World Underground Wrestling and Manila Wrestling Federation along with AFAM Steve, Pinoy Bulldog and, I believe, Silent D (correct me please if he is affiliated with a promotion).

 

Finally, thank you to Linus, Rosh, Cholo, Martin, Sonny Go who announced the show, and the staff who set up things like the wrestling ring and configuring the seating at the Brawl Pit Bulusan.  Finally, thank you to the wrestling fans who were there either one, or both, of the weekend events!

 

The Pinoy wrestling community is now experiencing the tenth year of modern pro wrestling in the Philippines.  Events such as the February Filipino Pro Wrestling show and this past weekend's Dexcon Wrestle Bazaar/Wrestle Storm event is getting things off to a great start in 2024!

 

Hopefully, Dexcon will have another wrestling event later this year.  Fans, if you would like to see one, please message them on their page on Faacebook.  Have a good week ahead everyone!

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!

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.

Congratulations!

Congratulations to the Manila Wrestling Federation on recently surpassing 75,000 viewers on their Facebook page.

 

MWF was among the first several promotions that this blogger started following around 2019 in the Southeast Asia region.  The group, as well as the promotion, have always been communicative in the time doing this blog.

 

Communication is always important when promoting a product and the Manila Wrestling Federation has done just that.  All the best to MWF going forward.

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

Hello everyone.

 

Aaron Liwanag, now the leader of Bahay Ng Liwanag, will be in action at the MWF Kasaysayan show.  Who will his opponent be?

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.

Dexcon Wrestle Storm "Dream Match"

Hello everyone.

 

It has now been announced by matchmaker, Linus Santos, that "The Red Lightning" Robin Sane will take on SETUP Thailand's Shivam in what is billed as a dream match!

 

Wrestling fans in the Philippines know the aerial, high flying maneuvers of Robin Sane over the years.  Sane became the first wrestler to win the Manila Wrestling Federation Pinoy Wrestling Championship.  

 

If you haven't seen Shivam, please check him out on SETUP Thailand's You Tube page.  He has been a SETUP Singapore and AWGC Junior Heavyweight Champion.   You won't be disappointed what he brings night in and night out in the ring.

 

Shivam will be flying in to the Dexcon event, 24 hours after another show (March 23rd) that he's appearing in.  SETUP Thailand's show will have Shivam taking on New Japan Pro Wrestling's Zack Sabre Jr. in a historic match for the promotion.  The event is part of a collaboration with SETUP Thailand and New Japan Pro Wrestling.

 

For more information including tickets, please check the Dexcon 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 #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.

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.
