SPW: Hardcore Island 2 Update #3

Hello everyone.

Let's update all of the matches regarding SPW's show, Hardcore Island 2: A Fine City.  The event is to be held at the Foo Chow Building on Friday, August 16 beginning at 7:30 pm.

Since the last post, a couple of matches have been added.  

Zhan Wen, from Australia, will take on Riz in one match.  Zhan Wen just recently won a two on one handicap match at the Malaysia Pro Wrestling show last Saturday night.

Another match will feature Emman against CK Vin in a chairs match.

In a Loser Gets Caned match, Referee Ryan (yes, a referee!) will take on Bryson Blade.  I've seen just one caned match on You Tube and getting caned isn't something to be the recipient of.

Jack N' Cheese will take on the Gym Bros in an Open Challenge tag team match.

Finally, a women's Triple Threat Match will feature Alexis Lee vs. Miyu Yamashita vs. Kaya Toribami.  This will, no doubt, be a wild match for everyone to see.  Alexis Lee just came off a win at the Malaysia Pro Wrestling show this past Saturday.

For more on tickets, please visit the SPW Facebook page.  Thank you.     

SPW: Hardcore Island 2 Update #2

One match has been added to Singapore Pro Wrestling's show, Hardcore Island 2: A Fine City.  The event will take place on Friday, August 16th at the Foo Chow Building beginning at 7:30pm.

 

Emman will face CK Vin in what has been determined as a Chairs Match per General Manager, Carl Hella.  This should be definitely wild!

A Look Back At SPW

The other night, this blogger had a chance to watch Dante Chen (formerly Trexxus in SPW) on television in a title match against Ethan Page for the NXT Title.  Dante fared well in the match but fell just a little short.  However, it was exciting to see him on television for the first time though I've been following his matches on Facebook.

 

During the pandemic in 2020, this blogger watched a lot of You Tube videos of Southeast Asia wrestling promotions.  The Philippines, Vietnam and Singapore wrestling shows really caught my eye.  

 

Since watching Dante Chen last week,  this blogger went back and watched several videos of Singapore Pro Wrestling shows over the past several years.  

 

The promotion, I believe, is the oldest in Southeast Asia, began in 2012.  Their first show was an event called SPW Open House in October.  The names, that this fan learned quickly, were "The Statement" Andruew Tang and The Eurasian Dragon.  Soon afterwards, the names of Trexxus. Aiden Rex and Alexis Lee were wrestlers that I enjoyed watching.

 

Singapore Pro Wrestling has been very consistent with the shows over the years.  Not only does the promotion have their local talent in Singapore.  Wrestlers, from other promotions in Southeast Asia and beyond, travel and wrestle in their shows.  Though I've never been to one of their shows live, I've seen You Tube as well as the premium videos.  The organization is very strong.  Andruew has done great work for this promotion in the nearly 12 years!

 

Dante Chen (Trexxus), I believe, began his WWE/NXT career in 2021 when the pandemic eased a bit.  I remembered reading in on a couple of websites.  Definitely, this is a great story, for Dante, SPW and wrestling fans throughout Southeast Asia.

 

When one thinks of pro wrestling in Southeast Asia, whether SPW or any other promotion, the local wrestling scene in the countries are still very young!  

 

Speaking of Singapore Pro Wrestling, their next show, Hardcore Island 2: A Fine City, will take place on Friday, August 16th beginning at 7:30pm.  The venue is the Foo Chow Building.  Please visit SPW on their Facebook page for more information including tickets.  Thank you.

SPW: Hardcore Island 2 Update:

Singapore Pro Wrestling's next show, Hardcore Island 2: A Fine City will take place on Friday, August 16th.  The venue is the Foo Chow Building beginning at 7:30pm.

Cooperation Amongst Promotions

This wrestling fan may have shared this before under a previous blog, but he wants to share this again.

 

It is a welcome sight in this world of ours when, for example, a promotion such as the Manila Wrestling Federation invites some wrestlers from Hong Kong Pro Wrestling Federation to their show.  

 

Hopefully, I don't get into trouble here, but it is good for pro wrestling locally in a Southeast Asia country and worldwide.  Wrestling fans, who may not be able to see a Ho Ho Lun, Michael Su and/or a Bitman because they are unable to travel to Hong Kong, have a chance to see them locally like in the Philippines, Taiwan, Singapore, etc.

 

Since starting this blog a couple of years ago, it appears that every promotion in Southeast Asia is now doing it.  It sends the right message, not only for the promotion, but wrestling fans alike.

 

Up until a couple of years ago here in America, you would not see the big three promotions here in WWE, AEW and Impact (TNA in 2024) doing any cross promoting.  Then, AEW and Impact tried it in 2021.  I don't know if the pandemic had anything to do with it.  However, it created excitement for the wrestling fans in America.  There was the moment when Kenny Omega of AEW won both the titles.  Impact, I believe, had their best ratings in years because of it. 

 

To this day, New Japan Pro Wrestling and Impact, along with AEW, still have some cross promoting going on at times during the year.  

 

However, any cross promotion with WWE and anyone else won't happen, and won't happen anytime soon.  Right now, there is too much of a problem and egos between Tony Khan and whoever is running WWE at the moment.

 

Back to the cooperation in Southeast Asia, it's great to see wrestlers from ROR Wrestling at a Vietnam Pro Wrestling show.  New Taiwan Wrestling will make an appearance at a Grapplemax (Singapore) show in a couple of weeks.  The cooperation between NTW Wrestling and Middle Kingdom Wrestling is especially huge. A couple of times this year, there were wrestlers from other promotions at Filipino Pro Wrestling and World Underground Wrestling - Philippines shows.

 

As this fan sees it, promotions in Southeast Asia pro wrestling understand and see the big picture. The question is, does America based promotions?  I'll leave that question unanswered for the time being.

SPW: Viva La Lucha Update

Each time this blogger looks at Singapore Pro Wrestling and the shows that are being put on, the shows are top notch!

 

Since I started doing this blog, and looking back, SPW is definitely the leader in Southeast Asia wrestling.  SPW: Viva La Lucha will be their fourth show this year.  When looking at the three previous shows, every match was top quality with a good number being Championship Title matches. Seeing some videos, wrestling fans, who were in attendance, saw some great action at the Foo Chow Building!

 

This blogger looked back at many of the show results on Cagematch.  Andruew and company have made sure that wrestling fans in Singapore are getting their money's worth.  Also, many, if not all of the top performers in Southeast Asia, have appeared in the shows.

 

SPW Viva La Lucha will be no exception here.  There are five different Championship Matches that will take place in this show.  Samuray Del Sol (formerly Kalisto) versus Andruew Tang IS a main event match anywhere in Southeast Asia.  The Horrors vs. Bryson Blade and CK Vin tag team match will be a really entertaining match as well.

 

Before mentioning about tickets, congratulations to Alexis Lee, the SPW Queen Of Asia Champion on being in the top 250 women wrestlers worldwide in Pro Wrestling Illustrated's latest January 2024 issue.  More than well deserved!

 

For more on tickets, and the show is about one month away, please check the SPW page on Facebook.

Ring Of Rebirth One Plus Years Later

Last year, when doing the blog, this fan came along a new promotion in Singapore.  Ring Of Rebirth would become the third wrestling promotion in the country.

 

I had an opportunity to message The Eurasian Dragon about the new promotion.  Certainly, there would be challenges getting this started.  Already in the country was Singapore Pro Wrestling and Grapplemax Pro Wrestling Singapore.  However, The Eurasian Dragon had and still has a vision for the company.

 

Doing the shows in a studio format was great!  It reminded this fan of the early days back in The Territory Era.  I remember locally the days of Friday Night Wrestling in a television studio.  A little more recent was Gordon Solie with the NWA out of Atlanta, Georgia with the Superstation TBS when cable television was getting off the ground.

 

The first ROR show was called Press Start that took place in July 2022.  The venue was the Goldpine Industrial Building.  There were four matches including a Passport Match, something very creative.  Ring Of Rebirth has put all of their shows on You Tube.  All that wrestling fans need to do is to subscribe and to watch the shows.

 

Wrestlers from outside the area have appeared on the shows.  Aaron O'Malley, The Wonderboy, Ho Ho Lun and Duncan Solaire are among those.  Also, wrestlers from the other two promotions have appeared.  In fact, several ROR wrestlers have appeared in SPW shows and have helped out there.

 

Early this year, in March, ROR sponsored a two day series of matches with the Dragon Gate promotion going up against the Singapore All Stars with a positive success coming out of it.

 

In June, a team known as The Big Bad Boyz with The Eurasian Dragon and BGJ went to Vietnam and wrestled.  Despite an injury, The Eurasian Dragon competed.  The team won the Vietnam Pro Wrestling tag team championships.  They held the titles for over 120 days and defended it several times.  Though losing it in a fatal four way match in Vietnam last Saturday, the team held the belts with honor.  If it didn't put Ring Of Rebirth on the map before, it did now.

 

The roster has improved in the months since July 2022.  Seeing Aerial Sniper Nyc on video for the first time was great.  Looking forward to seeing him help the promotion. 

 

Early this week, Ring Of Rebirth began their second year with the first of several shows on You Tube.  There is a slight change to the program.  The title of the shows will be called RoR Wrestling.  The first show that is airing now is called RoR Wrestling #1.

 

The Eurasian Dragon has a lot of creativity with the shows right now.  It will be very interesting what we will see in year two.  All this fan can say is please support Ring Of Rebirth and continue watching!
