From left to right, Ken Cifer (WUW-PH and PUSO Wrestling), this blogger and Steve The Teacher (also known as AFAM Steve). This was at a Meet And Greet which was fun and memorable!
A couple of years ago, August 2023 to be exact, this blogger saw his first Dexcon/WUW Philippines show while vacationing.
It was a great show with wrestlers from throughout Southeast Asia wrestling that night. The Brawl Pit Bulusan in Quezon City was very close to sold out. This was given the fact that there was a wrestling show one day before at Circuit Makati, a few kilometers south.
I got to meet a few wrestlers that day including Steve The Teacher (picture above). During the unfortunate Covid era, had a chance to learn more about him through video of his time with Middle Kingdom Wrestling in China. After this session, and the match with Ken at the show, it was more impressing. Steve The Teacher hadn't wrestled in a match in over two years that night. However, it didn't look like he had any ring rust from the encounter.
Steve has several books that he's written including one called Class In Session. It is a must read for any wrestling fan. You can get a copy through Amazon.
Moving forward, Steve has wrestled several times since, including the most recent SETUP Thailand show last November. Mikey Wild, one of the participants in the Rumble match, took advantage, and tossed Steve over the top rope. It ended any opportunity for a victory in which Benji came out the winner.
I've never see Mikey Wild in action, but on video only. He's definitely an unpredictable presence in the ring.
However, Steve The Teacher has redemption coming. The two will face off on Saturday, January 18th in a Homeroom Death Match at the SETUP Thailand Bangkok Navigation show.
This blogger doesn't know the full meaning of this but am sure this won't be exactly a wrestling match. I'm sure the wrestling fans at The Circus Studio will be wide awake when these two go at it.
Tickets, other than the first row, are still available. For more on this match and the other six matches, please visit the SETUP Thailand Pro Wrestling Facebook page. Thank you.
