PUSO Wrestling's First Show!

PUSO Wrestling has announced that their pilot show, Unang Tibok, will take place on Saturday night, August 17th beginning at 6pm.

 

First and foremost, this is a monumental announcement for Pinoy Wrestling in the Philippines.  A few weeks ago, 20+ wrestlers wanted to continue pursuing their dream in the squared circle.  The previous promotion, that they were involved in, was shut down.

 

Instead of talking about what led to the end of a promotion, I would prefer to mention the following statement.  "When a door closes, another one opens!"

 

From what this blogger knows, this group showed, and shows, a lot of character.  It would have been easy to just shut their dream down.  However, as a group, everyone wanted to continue.  Ideas and plans began to surface.  The result was that there would be a wrestling show that would take place. 

 

A few weeks ago, there was an "invite show" that I mentioned in the last PUSO post.  There would be wrestling matches.  This blogger did receive an invite.  Unfortunately, because of recovering from knee surgery, and an upcoming visit to the Philippines, I wasn't able to attend.  This blogger did send a message thanking them for the invite!

 

There would be a video shown near the end of the evening.  From what I learned, it was to show the pinoy wrestling fans that they missed them during the absence and that they want to "live their dream!"  From my experiences at past wrestling shows, this group, more than appreciates the interaction and the communication of the fans.  Whether it is at a show, a meet and greet, or just on social media, the group responds big time!  The name PUSO Wrestling was announced!

 

Over the past couple of days, there have been Facebook posts regarding sponsorship.  Please, if you have a chance, to look at it.  If one is interested in getting involved, or know someone, please contact PUSO either by e-mail or Facebook messenger.

 

When this blogger found out that PUSO Wrestling was going to happen, helping out is paramount right now.  Certainly, this tool called a blog is important.  I've helped out with a little funding with the previous promotion, as well as the DEXCON events.  The hope of seeing a PUSO Wrestling show was important to me.  At the same time, there are things like planning, making sure dates were available.    

 

Yes, this blogger is happy that the show will happen while I'm in the Philippines.  However, I'm more happy to see 20+ wrestlers be able to fulfill their dream.  This blogger is more happy to see the pinoy wrestling fans now have a chance to see their favorite wrestlers that they've seen for the past year (or for that matter 10 years).  That is the way I am.

 

In closing, if there is one thing I'd like to ask our fans who come to the shows.......please support PUSO Wrestling!  They do this to fulfill their dreams, and, they do this for us! 

 

Will see all of you on August 17th!  Please don't be afraid to say hello.

PUSO Wrestling's Pinoy Wrestling Night

Very recently, this blogger had an opportunity to read a post by Rowen Camacho, a huge wrestling fan in the Philippines.  Rowen is part of a weekly Podcast called The Wrestling - Wrestling Podcast.

 

Before going any further, please be patient since this post is a bit long.  My apologies but will try harder to shorten future posts!

 

There was an invite event (yes, this blogger received an invite!) from a new promotion.  An announcement was made a few weeks ago that PUSO Wrestling has been formed!  Pinoy Wrestling Night, which was the invite, would take place at the Brawl Pit Bulusan in Quezon City.

 

Because of obligations, and a soon-to-happen vacation in the Philippines, I wasn't able to attend that night.  However, this blogger wanted to go badly.  With the announcement that PUSO Wrestling having a show possibly in August, hopefully when there in August, there will be a show. 

 

Rowen, along with Emile, Stan, Romeo and Chino are great wrestling fans.  I haven't been on their podcasts live of late (but will very soon!).  Their knowledge is superb, whether at the local scene, or world wide.  Rowen's description of the Pinoy Wrestling Night gave the fans a picture of what happened that evening.  Here were the results of matches from the show...

 

Mani Maxx d. Dabid Ravena and Danny Zamora in a three way match.

Super Friends (Super P and Patricia Ligaia) d. Isaiah Valencia and Joey Rosas.

Jake De Leon d. Chelsea Marie.

Fabio Makisig and Joya d. Aaron Liwanag and The Acolyte.

Nigel "Suplex" San Jose d. El Kapitunero.

 

Rowen mentioned that Nigel San Jose cut a promo after the match.  He mentioned that the wrestlers missed the pinoy wrestling fans since April when MWF closed shop.  The show ended with the name of the new promotion, PUSO Wrestling.

 

There are two things this blogger wishes to do here.

 

First, here is the link to The Wrestling-Wrestling Podcast.  Thank you to Rowen for this post.  It is really appreciated here.  Hopefully the Pinoy Wrestling fans enjoy the content of the podcasts that is produced.  Please support the podcast in any way.

Second,  the link to PUSO Wrestling is below the final paragraph.  Right now, there has been a brief announcement that the promotion will have a show in August.  Please be on the lookout regarding the date, time and location of the pilot show.  In advance, congratulations to PUSO Wrestling on the huge announcement!  The promotion needs our support.  Please like and follow their page!

 

This blogger will do his best to continue and support Pinoy Wrestling, now, and moving forward.  All the best to both entities!  Thank you.

PUSO Wrestling

A lot has happened since being away from posting over the last couple of weeks.

 

As Pinoy Wrestling fans know, a wrestling promotion of eight years in the Philippines closed its doors to a number of aspiring wrestlers and numerous wrestling fans in the Philippines and world wide.

 

This blogger, before being away from the computer, sensed that something was in the works.  A few wrestlers in the group took part in a Dexcon event known as Wrestle Storm when the Manila Wrestling Federation canceled their promotion earlier this year.  

 

Wrestle Storm would come around at the right time.  It was the show to celebrate 10 years of Pinoy Wrestling.  Though not being there, the emotion of what happened previous and what happened at the conclusion of the show was something not to be forgotten.   

 

It would have been very easy for the group to end something that they truly love.  Some members in the group have wrestled for nearly ten years.  Others have begun their journey over the past year or so.

 

A few days ago, could be wrong on the number, but 22 aspiring people have come together and formed a promotion called Puso Wrestling.  Certainly, this is a huge start for the group.  

 

If this blogger can share this, PUSO Wrestling believes that Pinoy Wrestling is ALIVE!  One beat. One home.  One love for the Filipino pro wrestling industry.

PUSO Wrestling and WUW - Philippines member, Ken Cifer, messaged me last week to follow this group.  And in the very short time, as this is being posted, 906 have done just that!  

This blogger has been told that PUSO Wrestling will have a pilot show this coming August.  Details will be forthcoming soon.

 

In the meantime, this blogger needs to do his part and do some recruiting and promoting.  If you love Pinoy Wrestling or just wrestling in general, please visit the PUSO Wrestling page on Facebook.  Here is the link below.  Please click it and see for yourself.  Thank you and hope that you will enjoy what the promotion is offering.
