Congratulations SETUP Thailand!

Hello everyone!

 

Congratulations to SETUP Thailand Pro Wrestling! Five years ago on January 11th, SETUP Thailand hosted their first pro wrestling show at The Circus Studio before 232 fans, a sellout.

 

There were eight matches on the show (Bangkok Showdown) with four of them, title matches (per Cagematch)!  The show was a collaboration with India's Wrestle Square.  Current SETUP wrestlers, Jonathan Johnson, Shivam and Paksa were in the show.  Other names to mention were Emi Sakura, Andruew Tang, Alexis Lee, Ho Ho Lun, Zombie Dragon, and others in the Southeast Asia area, were a part of one memorable show that day.

 

Thank you to Panuwat for the reminder on this.  Also, thank you to Pumi who has been tremendous with the wrestling scene in Thailand!

 

Tomorrow, will do another SETUP post regarding a couple of major matches at next weekend's Bangkok Navigation.  Have a good weekend everyone!

SETUP Thailand Bangkok Navigation #7

Hello everyone!

 

SETUP Thailand's show, Bangkok Navigation, is just over one week away...Saturday, January 18th beginning at 6:30pm at The Circus Studio G Village.  Ringside tickets are SOLD OUT but rows two on back are still available.  Please check the SETUP Thailand Pro Wrestling Facebook page on how one can still buy tickets.

 

Next week, this blogger will share the full card of matches.  All of the matches are intriguing, especially the singles match between Paksa and Pro Wrestling Noah's (Japan), Naomichi Marufuji.

 

Both wrestlers are legends in their respective countries ....Thailand and Japan.  Personally, I've never seen either live at a show but on You Tube.  Both Paksa and Naomichi Marufuji have given their all in wrestling shows over the years.  This match alone is one to see.

 

This blogger mentioned a little about this match back on January 1st but wanted to add a little more to this special singles match.  If any of the fans reading this saw the singles match late last year between Paksa and Kenoh, also from Pro Wrestling NOAH, you'll be in for a special one next week!

SETUP Thailand Bangkok Navigation Update #5

Happy New Year everyone!

 

A huge match has been added for SETUP Thailand's show, Bangkok Navigation.  The wrestling event will take place on Saturday, January 18th at The Circus Studio G Village.  Doors open at 6pm with the show beginning at 6:30pm.

 

Paksa, one of the greats in Thailand wrestling history, and with SETUP, will take on one of Japan's wrestling legends in Naomichi Marufuji (Pro Wrestling Noah).

 

IWA Japan's Tatsukuni "Kinroku" Asano Memorial International Special Single Match will be a memorable and special one.  Mr. Asano began promoting wrestling events in 1990 with FMW as well as All Japan Pro Wrestling.  Later on, Victor Qunones and Asano co-founded IWA Japan.

 

Asano passed away this past November.  According to a recent article, per Post Wrestling, in July 2024, SETUP and Asano’s promotion collaborated on a joint show. It was the first IWA Japan-branded event since 2014.  The upcoming match is in honor of him.

 

For more on the January 18th show, and ticket information, please visit the SETUP Thailand Pro Wrestling page.  Also, SETUP Thailand can be found on You Tube.  Please subscribe!  Thank you.
