Congratulations!


Congratulations to the Manila Wrestling Federation on selling out their first show - Kasaysayan!

 

The upcoming show will be taking place on Sunday, April 14th at the UP Film Institute Media Center at UP Dillman in Quezon City.

 

Everyone from Veronica, Tarek, William, Sonny, Romeo and the staff, to the MWF locker room deserve much credit for this.  Also, having a social media outlet page on Facebook as well as Rock Of Manila TV is an asset for wrestling fans throughout the Philippines.

 

The kapafeds and Pinoy wrestling fans deserve some credit as well.  From my experiences of seeing three shows going back to December 2022, fans whom I've talked with, believe in the product.  You can see it from the communication seen on Facebook for example.

 

With the event just over three weeks away, this fan is definitely excited with what the Kasaysayan show, and upcoming shows will bring during the rest of 2024 and beyond.  

 

Pro wrestling has done quite well in Southeast Asia already this year with sold out shows in several countries.  Right now, it's a great time in being a wrestling fan!

The First Kasaysayan Show

The Elements @ Centris In Quezon City, Philippines.

 

This blogger wanted to try something new today unlike ever before on this blog.

 

This year, in 2024, it is the 10th anniversary of the first modern day era wrestling shows in the Philippines.

 

Next month, the Manila Wrestling Federation will be having their first show, MWF Kasaysayan at the UP Film Institute Media Center at UP Dillman.  The show is scheduled for Sunday, April 14th.

 

If my information is correct, and hopefuly this is okay to post, the first Kasaysayan show happened about six years earlier, on Sunday, April 8, 2018.  The location was The Elements @ Centris (photo pictured above) in Quezon City, PH.  The location of the building is still there today.

 

There were six matches on the show that day.  Some familiar names this fan saw in the results were Fabio Makisig, Jomar, Rex Lawin, Robin Sane, Kyle Sison along with The Eurasian Dragon from Ring Of Rebirth and Ho Ho Lun with Dragon Gate.  There is a short video on You Tube with the highlights of the show.

 

According to Cagematch, here are the results from the show (please let me know if any info was left out.  Thanks.)....

Fabio Makisig d. Jomar Liwanag

Aldrin Richards and Hanzello Shilva d. Ashura and Kyle Sison.

Rex Lawin d. Frankie Thurteen by TKO.

Gigz Striker and RG d. The Holdapers.

Ninja Ryujin d. Morgan Vaughn.

The Eurasian Dragon and Mr. Lucha d. Robin Sane and Ho Ho Lun.

 

Fast forwarding to today, the last we checked, there are around 50 general admission tickets left for the upcoming Kasaysayan show.  Please check the Manila Wrestling Federation - MWF page on Facebook for any updates.  For tickets, please visit the ticket2me.net website.  Thank you.

Some Pinoy Wrestling Updates!


Over the past few hours, this blogger learned that ringside seats for the Manila Wrestling Federation Kasaysayan Show are now sold out!

 

This is definitely good news.  Personally, I don't know how much the UP Film Institute Media Center holds for a pro wrestling event.  From seeing photos, it definitely looks more than the PMC Spotlight Theater and the PETA Center.  This coming summer when visiting, I hope to get a chance to see it prior to seeing the MWF Road To Fate show in August.

 

Speaking of MWF Kaysaysan, this definitely is a star studded show.  Hopefully, if any wrestling fan hasn't bought a ticket or tickets yet, please do so! It's never a great idea in waiting until the last minute.  The last show I went to in December, there were a few people that, nearly, didn't get tickets!  The show was sold out!

 

Just to remind everyone, the MWF Kasaysayan show in on Sunday, April 14th, 4:30pm, at the UP Film Institute Media Center.

 

Following the show, there will be a Meet And Greet.  You MUST have a ticket to be at the Meet And Greet!

 


Also, with the past few hours, the poster for the upcoming Dexcon wrestling show and Meet And Greet is now up at UNBOX Greenhills.  Definitely, the poster looks pretty cool!  

 

The Meet And Greet is on Saturday, March 23rd beginning at 12 noon.

             

Please note the following info:  WrestleBazaar is a FREE Entry event where you can shop your favorite wrestling merch, meet other wrestling fans and talk about anything wrestling.
 
 
Simultaneously happening is the WrestleStorm Meet and Greet where you can meet the stars of WrestleStorm before the big day.
 
 
Buy your meet and greet tickets at https://dexcon.helixpay.ph/
 
 
On Sunday, March 24th, the actual show takes place at Brawl Pit Bulusan beginning at 6pm.  Next week, I will update everyone on the matches for the show once again.

MWF Kasaysayan Update #7


Kodai Nozaki may be a pro wrestler that is unfamiliar to wrestling fans in the Philippines.

 

However, to wrestling fans that follow Kyushu Pro Wrestling, and to fans that follow the promotion in Japan, he's well known.

 

The two time Kyushu Pro Wrestling champion will face Manila Wrestling Federation's CJ Serafin at MWF Kasaysayan this coming April 14th.  The venue is the UP Film Institute Media Center, UP Dillman in Quezon City.

 

This blogger has seen the "roller coaster" career of CJ Serafin over the last year.  A former member of the stable, Barangay Bagsakan, CJ has wrestled in a couple of tag team matches of late.  On April 14th, he appears to be going solo in what might be his biggest test as a wrestler.

 

For more regarding tickets and the meet and greet, please visit the Manila Wrestling Fedeartion - MWF page on Facebook.  Thank you.

MWF Kasaysayan Update #6


Hello everyone!  There will be an added match for MWF's Kasaysayan show scheduled for Sunday, April 14th.  The venue is the UP Film Institute Media at UP Dillman in Quezon City.

 

The popular El Katipunero from Manila Wrestling Federation will take on Genkai from Kyushu Pro Wrestling in a singles match.

 

El Kapitunero is popular amongst the kapafeds with Manila Wrestling Federation and always rises to the occasion no matter the opponent.  Genkai will be a huge challenge since he is a three time - Kyushu Pro Wrestling Champion! 

 

For more information on the show including tickets, please visit the Manila Wrestling Federation - MWF page on Facebook.  Early bird tickets are available on the ticket2me.net website. Thank you.

MWF Kasaysayan Meet And Greet



Hello everyone.  My apologies on not mentioning about this earlier.

 

The Manila Wrestling Federation show, MWF: Kasaysayan will have a Meet And Greet following the event.  The show will take place on Sunday, April 14th (I believe at 4:30pm) at the UP Film Institute Media Center at UP Dillman.

 

There is an option that wrestling fans have regarding the actual show and the Meet And Greet.  Before making any decisions, please read all the instructions about the show and the Meet and Greet before purchasing tickets.  The instructions and information are very important here.  I added the Meet & Greet Mechanics that is on top of this blog entry.

 

This fan and blogger mentions this because it's important that every fan knows about this before attending the Kasaysayan show on April 14th!

 

Any questions, and/or for more information, please check the Manila Wrestling Federation - MWF page on Facebook.  Thank you.

MWF Kasaysayan Update #5


Hello everyone!  We now have a triple threat match lined up for the MWF Kasaysayan show scheduled for Sunday, April 14th at the UP Film Institute at UP Dillman.

 

The participants will be Nigel San Jose, Main Maxx and Danny Zamora.  Looking back to last year, all three participants took part in the eight man elimination match for the MWF Pinoy Wrestling Championship at Noche Buena.  

 

Main Maxx was in the final paring when losing to Jake DeLeon for the MWF Championship in December.  Certainly, he's in line for a shot at the championship once again.

 

Nigel San Jose and Danny Zamora are more, than considered, challenges for the MWF belt as well.  This blogger doesn't know if this is possibly a number one contender's match but it may make for a suggestion.

 

For more on tickets and info regarding the show, please check the ticket2me.com website as well as the Manila Wrestling Federation page on Facebook.  Thank you.

MWF: Kasaysayan Show Update #4


Another match has been added to the MWF Kasaysayan show schedule for Sunday, April 14th at the UP Film Institute.

 

Oro Plata Mata's Dabid Ravena and Kurt Jiminez will take on the team of Batten X Burabura (Kyushi Pro Wrestling) and Joey Rosas (MWF).

 

This fan admittedly needs to know more about the stars from Kyushi Pro Wrestling.  Definitely, the promotion is bringing a good number of wrestlers over to the Philippines for the show.  For the kapafeds and pinoy wrestling fans who have never seen the group, this would be a great opportunity to see them live.

 

Again, for more on tickets and information on the show, please visit ticket2me.net and the Manila Wrestling Federation - MWF page on Facebook.  Thank you.

MWF Kasaysayan Show Update #2


Back at December's Manila Wrestling Federation show, Noche Buena, there was a historical event.

 

For the first time, MWF had an All Women's Four Way match.  It was a monumental evening as Super P would win the event.  The kapafeds, who were there that night at the PMC Spotlight Theater, cheered loudly before, during and after the match.  It was definitely one of the highlights of the evening.

 

At the Kasaysayan show this coming April 14th, another bit of history will happen once again.  The team of Super P and Patricia Ligaia will take on Joya and Chelsea Marie in a Women's Tag Team Match.

 

The event will take place at the UP Film Institute Media Center, UP Dillman in Quezon City.  For more on tickets and the show, please check the Manila Wrestling Federation - MWF page on Facebook and ticket2me.net.  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.
