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 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 2024

The 2024 Pro Wrestling year in Southeast Asia has taken off so far with several promotions doing big shows in China, Singapore and Thailand for example.  Well, in the Philippines, there is another one headed your way!

 

Manila Wrestling Federation will make history in the country at their first event, Kasaysayan, on Sunday, April 14th.  The event will be held at the UP Film Institute, UP Dillman beginning at 4:30pm.  

 

The event will be a co-presentation of wrestlers with the Manila Wrestling Federation and Kyushu Pro Wrestling, based out of Fukuoka, Japan.

 

Recently before this announcement, this fan wanted to learn more about the promotion and the style of wrestling.  Kyushu Pro Wrestling was founded in October 2007 and actually launched in July 2008 by Ryota Chikuzen.  The promotion, a non profit organization, has been very successful in the 15 years.  They have two active championships in the singles and tag team championships.  To my understanding, the promotion is very much involved in the community with charitable work.

 

If anyone has heard of a wrestler by the name of Tajiri, he is a very familiar name in Japanese pro wrestling as well as in America.  Tajiri wrestled in ECW and with WWE several years back and is very well known throughout all of Asia.

 

This fan wasn't aware of this but Tajiri signed with Kyushu Pro Wrestling in January 2003.  Then he won the Kyushi Pro Wrestling Championship at Jokyo 2023 the same night!

 

So, on April 14th, the kapafeds and pinoy wrestling fans will get a chance to see stars such as Jake De Leon, Fabio Makisig, Tajiri, perhaps the current Kyushi Pro Wrestling champion, Kodai Nazaki and more at the event.

 

For more info, including tickets, please check the Manila Wrestling Federation website and the ticket2me.net website for more.  Thank you. 

MKW Bash At The Bay 3 Update

This morning, this fan was checking up on any updates with Middle Kingdom Wrestling and their upcoming show.  The event is called MKW Bash At The Bay 3.  The event will take place on Saturday, January 27th in Shenzen, China.

There was a mention about Ho Ho Lun, the Godfather of Hong Kong professional wrestling and possibly being on the card.

I had an opportunity in America of seeing him on television back in 2016 when he wrestled for WWE NXT.  It was definitely great seeing a wrestler from Asia in the WWE.

After a couple of years, he returned to Asia to continue his career.  He wrestled for a couple of promotions such as the Manila Wrestling Federation when he was the second MWF Pinoy Wrestling Champion.  Eventually, he went over to Dragon Gate Japan Pro Wrestling.

I had an opportunity to see him live last month at MWF's final show of 2023.  He wrestled "Danger" Rex Lawin in a #1 Contender's Match for the MWF title.  Though Ho Ho Lun lost, the match was electric for those who were at the PMC Spotlight Center in Circuit Makati.

Ho Ho Lun, like Tajiri, is a knowledgeable wrestler throughout Southeast Asia pro wrestling.  Neither wrestler needs to have a title.  Showing up to wrestle at any promotion throughout the region will bring fans to the event.

 

Right now, Ho Ho Lun is on a wrestling tour throughout the United Kingdom.  He says that he has a goal to one day appear at MKW's biggest show of the year.  Don't be surprised if he does appear at the MKW show at the end of the month!
