PSE Thailand One Year Anniversary Show

Hello everyone.

 

PSE Thailand will be having their One Year Anniversary show on Saturday, February 1st.  The venue is the PSE Performance Center in Pattaya.

 

The promotion has been very busy getting ready this major show.  There have been some nightly shows over the past few weeks.

 

One match has been mentioned for the anniversary show thus far.  August Artois, the FIP World Heavyweight Champion, will face popular wrestler and co-owner, Sunny Z for the the title.

 

Artois is no stranger to the wrestling fans in Thailand.  Back at the IWA/SETUP 30th anniversary show at The Circus Studio, Artois successfully defended his title against Shivam in an exciting match.

 

For more information on the show, including tickets, please visit the PSE_Thailand Facebook page.  Also, PSE_Thailand can now be found on You Tube with several videos posted.  Please subscribe and check it out!  Thank you. 

Steve The Teacher At The SETUP show

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.

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 #6

Hello everyone!

 

SETUP Thailand's next show, Bangkok Navigation, will take place on Saturday, January 18th, a little over two weeks away.  One match has been added for the show and it's another big one!

 

A special intergender fatal four way match featuring Kru Pol, Pondhub, Gunn and Matcha has been added.

 

This, once again, is a great opportunity for each competitor.  All four competitors are coming off defeats in their last matches.

 

Fatal four way matches, no matter where they are in the world, are as unpredictable as rumble matches.  This blogger certainly won't predict who might come out on top, but it certainly will be interesting.  All four wrestlers have something to prove.

 

The event will take place at The Circus Studio G Village at Bangkok.  For more, including tickets, please visit the SETUP Thailand Pro Wrestling Facebook page.  Also, SETUP can be found on You Tube!

Thank you and have a good weekend ahead!

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.   

SETUP Thailand Bangkok Navigation Update #4

Hello everyone!

 

SETUP Thailand has announced a championship match for the show, Bangkok Navigation.  The show will take place on January 18th at The Circus Studio G Village in Bangkok.  Doors open at 6pm with the first match at 6:30pm.

 

Daz Black, the Premier British Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion will take on SETUP 24/7 Champion, Kevin Weng.  Only the British Championship will be on the line.

 

Of late, this blogger has watched both wrestlers on You Tube.  For Kevin Weng, this is a huge  opportunity of a lifetime to elevate himself in SETUP.  Championship opportunities don't come every day.

 

For Daz Black, I saw one match earlier in 2024 against Carlos Zamora, definitely no slouch in the wrestling world.  It was one of the most exciting matches this blogger has seen this year.

 

For more information, including tickets, please visit the SETUP Thailand Pro Wrestling Facebook page.  

 

Thank you everyone and a safe and prosperous New Year!   

 

  

SETUP Thailand: Bangkok Navigation Update #3

Hello everyone!

The IWA World Tag Team Championship has been just announced.  The team of Blick Drewz and Flame Drake, no strangers to the pro wrestling scene in Thailand, will take on the champions, The Good Deal (Anont Alonzo and Mr. Suchart).  This appears to be a dream match for both teams!

 

For more information on this match, the show, and for tickets, please visit the SETUP Thailand Pro Wrestling Facebook page.  Also, SETUP Thailand can be found on You Tube.  Thank you!

SETUP Thailand

When a pro wrestler wants to improve on his or her performance, it's through things like working out, watching video and learning from others.

It's the same with a wrestling fan and blogger such as myself.

When first doing this blog, one of the first promotions I followed was SETUP Thailand Pro Wrestling.  However, it wasn't until just recently how much more this blogger needed to learn.  Learning about TOP Dojo, SETUP Thailand and Thailand in general this week has been a great experience.

 

Led by Pumi Boonyatud, the promotion has been doing shows since January 2020.  The Circus Studio - G Village is their primary location for their shows.  The events regularly draw enthusiastic, knowledgeable and sold out crowds.

 

Recently, this blogger completed doing a results page (well, almost completed!) page as I'm doing this for all promotions in Southeast Asia.  There have been some great local and nearby wrestlers that have wrestled in the events.

 

Their next show is called Bangkok Navigation, one of their top, if not top shows this year.  The date is Saturday, January 18th.  Tickets are still available for the event.  However, please check the promotion Facebook page for more information.

 

I won't mention the names on the roster since I'll probably forget someone and get into trouble.  However, please check out their Facebook as well as this blogger's result page.  My hope is to see a SETUP, as well as the other promotion in Thailand, TOP DOJO in 2025!

 

Here are the two links mentioned.  The first link is the SETUP Thailand Facebook page.  Have a good day everyone!
