April 14th

Sunday, April 14, 2024 will be a historic day for pro wrestling in the Philippines!  The post is a little long.  My thoughts on this day are long overdue. 

 

At 2pm, Filipino Pro Wrestling will have their show, FPW Astig.  The live event will take place at the PMC Spotlight Blackbox Theater in Circuit Makati.

 

Here are the matches that are lined up so far.....

Mike Madrigal vs. Robynn for the FPW Championship.

Duke Ortega vs. Ralph Imabayashi.

Jan Evander vs. Thiago.

The YOLO Twins and 'Good Guy' Quatro vs. James 'Idol" Martinez, Evan Carleaux and Cali Nueva.

 

There are possibly more matches to be announced.  It's always a good idea to check their Facebook page.  Tickets for the FPW Astig show are still available by going to the ticket2me.net website!  As always, please check the FPW - Filipino Pro Wrestling page on Facebook for more information.

 

Now, I would like to share something with the Pinoy wrestling fans (FPW, MWF, WUW and/or any combination thereof).  

 

This fan realizes, per the Pinoy wrestling fans he knows on social media, that there are two different promotions with two shows happening on the same day (April 14th) in two different areas of Metro Manila.  Because of this, up until this post, it was appropriate to separate the two shows and the information regarding both. 

 

There was a moment recently when, at least two pinoy wrestling fans, were disappointed that the show they wanted to go to was "sold out" already.  This fan had yet to respond back because of the disappointment.

 

There are two things that this blogger would like to share on the matter....

 

First and foremost.....Filipino Pro Wrestling has had their shows at the PMC Spotlight Blackbox Theater since their inception in October 2022.  It is difficult to get a booking of any kind, per sources, to the venue.  Since FPW Astig's last show was in February, I'm certain that they wanted to have another show within a certain time frame.  It just so happened that April 14th was the best time for the show.  I believe this per my sources.

 

Second thing, and this is just as important to everyone reading.....Though I've been to more shows of another promotion (Manila Wrestling Federation) during my Philippines' visits, it doesn't mean that I don't like, or don't care, about FPW.  In fact, this fan raved about the FPW Astig show last August just as I did with the MWF and WUW shows!   

 

Having a chance to talk and photo-op with wrestlers, wrestling fans and Red after the show that day was important.  It was every bit as important, as my first Manila Wrestling Federation show with wrestlers, wrestling fans, Veronica and Tarek.  It was every bit as important at the WUW (Dexcon) show last summer with wrestlers, wrestling fans, and with Saint John Martin.

 

In conclusion, I'm here blogging, not to change the opinion of Pinoy wrestling fans, nor to favor one promotion over another.  In every sport, and in this case, sports entertainment, there is a fan base with each of the promotions.  In America where I live, there is the continual bashing of the two major promotions in AEW and WWE.  I've been to both promotions shows in this country over the past year because I love pro wrestling.

 

In saying all of this, at the same time, there's nothing wrong with liking one promotion over the other either.  It's just that this fan appreciates what all the promotions try to do.  Maybe, it is being a purist with the industry.  The promotions are trying their best to entertain the fans the best way they know how!

 

On Sunday, April 14, 2024, Pinoy wrestling fans have a great opportunity like never before.  One show at UP Dillman is sold out!  There is NO reason, other than other obligations one might have that day, why the FPW show cannot do the same!  Having two sold out shows will show wrestling fans throughout Southeast Asia that wrestling fans are alive and well in the Philippines!  It will put the rest of Southeast Asia on notice.

 

Please have a good day everyone!

Dexcon Wrestle Storn Recap

From the comments, video, pics and more, there is no question that pro wrestling in the Philippines had a very successful weekend!

 

The two day event featured a Meet And Greet known as Wrestle Bazaar.  That was held at Unbox Greenhills.  The Sunday event known as Wrestle Storm was the actual show that was held at the Brawl Pit Bulusan.  There were seven matches on the show according to sources.

 

Normally, there would be results for everyone.  There will be a stream of the show like there was last August.  At the appropriate time after people get a chance to see it, the results will then be posted.  

 

I've talked, messaged and texted with several people and have seen several photos, video and comments.  It appeared that the show was definitely a success.

 

From this sponsor, a special thank you to Shivam (SETUP), Calamari Drunken Kings (DDT, Chocopro and SETUP) and Kappa World Order (SETUP) for traveling all the way from Thailand and appearing at the show.  Shivam deserves a special thanks because he wrestled at a SETUP show in Thailand against Zach Sabre Jr. in a main event the night before!

 

Certainly, thank you to the wrestlers from World Underground Wrestling and Manila Wrestling Federation along with AFAM Steve, Pinoy Bulldog and, I believe, Silent D (correct me please if he is affiliated with a promotion).

 

Finally, thank you to Linus, Rosh, Cholo, Martin, Sonny Go who announced the show, and the staff who set up things like the wrestling ring and configuring the seating at the Brawl Pit Bulusan.  Finally, thank you to the wrestling fans who were there either one, or both, of the weekend events!

 

The Pinoy wrestling community is now experiencing the tenth year of modern pro wrestling in the Philippines.  Events such as the February Filipino Pro Wrestling show and this past weekend's Dexcon Wrestle Bazaar/Wrestle Storm event is getting things off to a great start in 2024!

 

Hopefully, Dexcon will have another wrestling event later this year.  Fans, if you would like to see one, please message them on their page on Faacebook.  Have a good week ahead everyone!
