During this blogger's recent visit to the Philippines, had the opportunity to meet two people whom are important in the wrestling scene. I'm actually going to do the two separately.
Linus Joshua (hopefully the blogger has this correct. If incorrect Linus, please message me and will correct) is a match maker for Dexcon. For those not knowing what Dexcon is, the group began in 2023 promoting matches involving local pinoy and out of country wrestling talent as well as Meet And Greets.
Their first show was, I believe, in August 2023. In 2024, they will be hosting their third show, the weekend of October 12-13.
This blogger was at the show last year and was impressed with what happened. The Meet And Greet and the wrestling show took place at the Brawl Pit Bulusan on a Monday which was a National holiday for the country. Next to Brawl Pit is a nice cafe called Onyang's which I recommend to anyone who visits.
Honestly, I didn't remember if I met Linus at the August show last year but wanted to meet him last weekend. This blogger was definitely humbled with the opportunity.
Linus and Dexcon have put on several exceptional shows. The August 2023 show had local pinoy wrestlers from WUW - Philippines and current PUSO talent. Alexis Lee, Poppy, Kojio Akumu and Steve The Teacher (now Afam Steve) were from promotions outside the Philippines and added a flavor that made it an entertaining evening.
Dexcon's shows this year have had the likes of the Calamari Drunken Kings (Chris Brookes and Masahiro Takanashi) and Zach Sabre Jr. at their two shows. They were both well attended and were well quality events. Dexcon deserves a lot of kudos for their effort. Wrestle Storm and Dexcon Decada were superb!
Linus is not alone in the effort. He
has a support crew whom I chat with almost everyday that helps this
blogger promote the shows better.
Their next show is actually two shows as well as a Meet And Greet to my understanding. The event will take place the weekend of October 12-13. This blogger will have more on the event in the coming days.
