The FPW Champion's Next Possible Opponent


Mike Madrigal, the Filipino Pro Wrestling champion, has done, pretty much, everything a champion has done in his time as the title holder.

 

He has taken on all comers with the exception of Robynn who was unfortunately injured before the last show.  A Triple Threat Match would take its place. 

 

This blogger has been reading comments in Facebook on who possibly should be his next opponent.

 

If Robynn is fully healthy, "The Walking Death", am told, should give her the title match that she deserves.  Mike announced this himself during the last Astig show in April.

 

If not, there are certainly some qualifiers, some are wrestlers.  And then, there is Red Ollero.

 

This blogger wasn't at the show but am told things are heating up in FPW.  There was the Triple Threat match between Madrigal against Jan Evander against Thiago.  A reel that was posted had Red on the ring apron, then in the ring with what looked like a "chicken wing" on Madrigal.  Mike got out of the way and Thiago, coming off the ropes, "accidently" clobbered Red with his right foot.  Red wouldn't be of help during the remainder of the match.  The Walking Death would go on to win the match and retain the FPW Championship.

 

There could be a title match with Mike and Ralph Imabayashi.  That match could be a good one.  Also, Mike could go up against Chino Guinto or Duke Ortega.  There are several opponents that are possibilities.  Dax Xaviera, Evan Carleaux and several others are possibilities.

 

The thought of Red Ollero enters the picture.  I don't know how the fan base would feel about it.  All this fan knows is things could be heating up in the weeks upcoming.   

 

This blogger is not a match maker.  However, there are several possibilities.  Let's see what happens.

FPW Astig April Update #5


Hello everyone.  There has been a change in the main event at this coming Sunday's Filipino Pro Wrestling's, FPW Astig show at the PMC Spotlight Blackbox Theater.

 

Due to an unfortunate injury to Robynn, the FPW Championship Match has been changed, and will now be a triple threat match.

 

FPW Champion, Mike Madrigal, will take on the Gym Bro, Thiago and The Mad Doctor, Jan Evander in a three way match.  This will be nothing new for the FPW Champion since Madrigal won a three way match last year to become the first FPW Champion.

 

As much as I know right now, all the remaining matches have not changed.  If there are any updates, I will update this post with them.

 

Tickets for Sunday's show are still available at ticket2me.net.

 

Hopefully for Robynn, this fan speaks for all FPW fans that she has a speedy recovery.  Also, when she recovers, she will hopefully be the first in line for an FPW Championship title shot!

FPW April Astig Update!


Hello everyone!

 

Since the last post, there have been two matches added for the upcoming FPW Astig show.  The date is Sunday, April 14th at 2pm at the PMC Spotlight Blackbox Theater.

 

Mike Madrigal, the current Filipino Pro Wrestling Champion, will face Robynn in the main event of the show.  Mike has been undefeated since the beginning of FPW and it appears that no one will take the title from him.

 

However, Robynn may have something to say about that.  This fan had the chance of seeing her live last August.  She defeated Thiago in a match that woke up some fans at the PMC Theater that day.  Robynn has done well in matches during the past year and deserves a title shot!

 

In the other match that has been made so far, the long awaited rematch between Duke Ortega and Ralph Imabayashi will take place.  The last time the two faced each other was a technical wrestling showcase and this one should be no exception!

 

For more information, including tickets, please visit the ticket2me.net website and/or visit the FPW - Filipino Pro Wrestling page on Facebook.

Filipino Pro Wrestling Update


With a little more than two weeks to go, Filipino Pro Wrestling's show, FPW: Astig will take place on Sunday, February 11th.  The venue is the PMC Spotlight Blackbox Theater, Circuit Makati at 2pm.  Doors open at 1:30pm.

 

Thus far, two matches have been announced with more on the way.

 

Mike Madrigal vs. Thiago for the FPW Championship.

Robynn vs. Ralph Imabayashi.

 

This blogger shared a little bit about the Mike Madrigal vs. Thiago in the last post.

 

The Robynn vs Ralph Imabayashi match will be interesting and a really good one for the fans.

 

For those that are new to reading this blog, and with Southeast Asia pro wrestling, intergender wrestling matches are not uncommon.  Because the number of women on rosters throughout the region are low in number, often, you will find matches like either a singles or a mixed tag team.

 

I've seen both Robynn and Ralph in action both live (August 2023) and on video (You Tube).

 

Beginning with Robynn, this fan was impressed in her match last August in an intergender match.  She is as tough as nails.  She can take the punishment as well as dish it out.  This fan learned more about her when interviewing her last October.

 

Ralph Imabayashi is no stranger in Philippines wrestling history either.  When first watching PWR, the first matches watching on You Tube were Ralph's matches.  Then, there was the match in August 2023 against Robbie Eagles.  I cannot  share the result here but it was one of the most exciting matches ever to this fan!

 

Tickets are available right now on the early bird rate!  Please check ticket2me.net and/or the FPW - Filipino Pro Wrestling page on Facebook for more information!

Interview #14 - Robynn


 

Continuing with the blog interviews, this one is way overdue and the first with a woman wrestler.

 

Robynn is one of the early pioneers of women's wrestling in the Philippines.  Along with Crystal, whom this fan has the utmost respect for as well, Ashura and Starling from this blogger's memory, Robynn is one that I first watched on You Tube when first watching the Philippine Wrestling Revolution.

 

The match this blogger saw was the Wrevolution X2017 show with Robynn and Crystal one-on-one. I believe the match, in its entirety, is still on You Tube today.

 

What I remembered from the match was how good both wrestlers were and still are today!  Robynn can take punishment and can give it out as well.  She is as tough as nails!     

 

I had the opportunity to see her live when Filipino Pro Wrestling had their final show in August called Astig.  On that show, Robynn faced Thiago in a singles match.  The match will be on You Tube in the future so watch out for it.  

 

Speaking of You Tube, just this past week, Robynn was in a singles match against FPW's, Dax Xaviera.  It is the Astig Episode 7 version.  Please check out this match and all the episodes thus far!

 

Recently, this blogger did an interview with Robynn.  She was, more than gracious, in wanting to do this.  Being a wrestling fan, I'm sometimes a bit shy asking because of wanting to give performers their space.  However,  this fan is grateful for her doing this.  Robynn, thank you so much.  Hopefully, this will be an inspiration for women to try out for wrestling at a wrestling academy locally.  In Southeast Asia, there are a shortage of women in wrestling.  Hopefully, the trend will change very soon.

 

Here is the interview.  Hope everyone enjoys it.       

 

Wayne:  Other than the pandemic time, when did you begin in pro wrestling?


Robynn:  I started training in 2015 with PWR and debut in 2016.

 

Wayne:  Was there a woman wrestler that inspired you or that you followed when you began to watch it?

 

Robynn:  I wouldn't really say "inspired" me and I "followed", but I did like watching Lita and Trish Stratus back then.

 

Wayne:  Is there a favorite promotion(s) that you follow today?  It could be local, international or both.  

 

Robynn:  Of course FPW is my favorite local promotion. HAHAHA. As for an international promotion, as much as Ralph and I can, we watch AEW every week.

 

Wayne:  Do you enjoy participating in singles, tag team matches or both?

 

Robynn:  I enjoy participating in both singles and tag team matches. Although, if I'm gonna go back to tag team matches, I only want it to be with Martivo.

 

Wayne:  In your time as a pro wrestler, what do you believe was your most memorable match that you were in? 

 

Robynn:  This is a hard question. Hahahaha. But I would say the 8-man tag house show in Eastwood called Unfather's Day. The reason is kinda personal to me. Hahahaha. 🤭 

 

Wayne:  I'm a big believer that there should be a Women's World Cup championship in Southeast Asia.  There are several titles such as the Queen Of Asia, APAC Women's and a couple more.  Would this be a good idea?  I feel there should be more titles. 

 

Robynn:  For someone who wrestled men almost her entire wrestling career, I feel like women could also go one on one with men for championships and titles.

 

Wayne:  What are your thoughts on pro wrestling in the Philippines now, and its future?

 

Robynn:  Pro Wrestling in the Philippines is looking bright. We're just getting started. One day, it will be huge, and no one can stop us.

Interview #12 - Thiago (FPW)


When visiting the Philippines back in August, this fan heard some really good things about the wrestler in the upcoming interview.

 

Thiago is definitely a wrestler to watch.  Seeing pro wrestling for a long time, one doesn't see wins and losses.  It is how the wrestler performs in the ring, the effort and the response from the fan base.  Certainly, "The Gym Bro" from Cebu get the attention from those in attendance.  Watching him in the FPW Astig match against Robynn was not only a solid match for both competitors, but it was a treat for all of us there that day.

 

This fan wants to thank Thiago for agreeing and wanting to do this interview.  Though he has been in pro wrestling less than a year, fans and his peers know that he has a bright future in the industry.  Certainly, this blogger is in his corner! 

 

Wayne:  Other than the pandemic time, how long have you been a pro wrestler? 

 

Thiago - I debuted on November 20, 2022, so almost a year. I only had 6 matches so far.

 

Wayne:  When did you believe that you wanted to become a wrestler?

 

Thiago:  I've always wanted to become a pro-wrestler when I was a kid. I lived in Cebu for 5 years. When PWR started, I was in Cebu and I couldn't train to become a pro-wrestler. When Daniel Bryan came back from retirement, and did his "fight for your dreams" promo, I went back home to Manila so I could train and become a pro wrestler.

 

Wayne:  What was your favorite promotion when you first followed wrestling? 

 

Thiago:  WWE. At the time, WWE was the only well-known promotion.

 

Wayne:  Do you have a favorite promotion either locally and/or internationally that you follow? - Locally, of course I love our product, and I watch every match on the card. Internationally, I only watch WWE. I prefer watching them because of the pace, storytelling, and psychology. Sorry AEW fans.

 

Wayne:  Is there a current and/or international wrestler that you follow today?

 

Thiago:  I'm a huge Kevin Owens fan and he's my favorite pro-wrestler of all time. So yeah, KO. Recently, Gunther has been making classic matches. 

 

Wayne:  Up to know, what was your most memorable wrestling match that you were a part of?

 

Thiago:  I only had 6 matches overall, so everything is memorable, but my favorite match that I'm a part of is my most recent match with Robynn. The crowd was really loud and the storytelling of that match was on point. Everything that we envisioned happened. I can speak for everyone for this, but I think every time that we have a show, we all improve. That's what I feel about myself. Every time that I have a match, I keep on improving.

 

Wayne:  What are your thoughts on wrestling in the Philippines now and its future?

 

Thiago:  I think the future's bright. There are 2 big local wrestling promotions. MWF has a TV deal, and FPW has a growing YouTube channel that is extremely well produced. I think in 3-5 years, wrestling will be big in the Philippines, as long as we have this undying support from our fans, and us wrestlers continue to grow and improve. Everyone that you see on an FPW show, everyone trains regularly, cuz if you don't, you won't be booked. On FPW, we try our best to give our fans the best product as possible.
