MWF: Noche Buena Update #3

Have an update on the Manila Wrestling Federation's show, Noche Buena scheduled for Sunday, December 3rd beginning at 4:30pm.

 

As of three hours ago, there were ONLY five ringside tickets left.  This means once they are gone, only General Admission tickets will be left.  This fan was told the last time in the PMC Spotlight Theater that the event holds 300 people for an MWF event.  

 

SO, if you plan on going, please secure your ticket as soon as possible!  There is no question that this Noche Buena will be the best wrestling show this year, and for that matter, possibly all time.

 

Now, since the last update, there have been two matches added.

 

First, the Hong Kong-Philippine Cup entrants have been set.  It will be Michael Su vs. Bitman vs. Joey Rosas in a three way match for the Cup.  I will share more about the competitors and the match in a future post.

 

The other added match will be El Kapitunero vs. Brother Benny in a singles match.  It has just been mentioned to this blogger that this will be Brother Benny's debut in the ring!

 

For more info on remaining tickets and the show itself, please check the Manila Wrestling Federation - MWF page on Facebook.

Some History Regarding MYPW

Malaysia Pro Wrestling is in its return in the Southeast Asia region.  While awaiting on what happened in their latest show, this wrestling fan was looking back at their progress.

 

According to Cagematch, it appears to the database, that their first show happened on December 8, 2018 with an event called MYPW WrestleNation.

 

However, looking further back, like to September 2015, there was am event called PGMania.  There was another event in November called Clash Of The Titans, a three day show.  Heading the show were today's stars in Shaukat, Poppy, Gotham and Emman The Kid.

 

MYPW was doing very well through the years 2016 through the early portion of 2020 probably with five to six shows per year.  Things were definitely going well.

 

Then on March 13, 2020, one of their upcoming shows would be limited to a small audience.  After the show, because of the rapid spread of the pandemic, shows were obviously put on hold.

 

It wouldn't be until February 2023 when MYPW would be involved in a wrestling show once again. The promotion would take part with Grapplemax Pro Wrestling in Singapore known as Causeway Jam on February 11.

 

Then the following weekend, they would host their first show known as New Breed on February 18th.

 

After a seven month gap, Malaysia Pro Wrestling has come back with two shows in September with Footy SZN and this last weekend with an event called Journey To Gold.  Everyone hopes that the two shows will be on the way back to normal for the popular promotion.

Noche Buena - The Sequel

Here it is a few days after the announcement of the Manila Wrestling Federation's upcoming show. For those who don't know yet, 2023 Noche Buena will take place on Sunday, December 3rd.  The venue is the PMC Spotlight Theater in Circuit Makati beginning at 4:30pm (doors open at 4pm).

 

The first version of Noche Buena happened back on December 9, 2017 (it just so happens to be my birthday).  According to Cagematch, the event took place at the Makati Square Arena, definitely a memorable venue for MWF events back then.

 

A year later, the crowning of a new MWF Champion took place on December 1st at the   UP Bahay ng Alumni in Quezon City.  Robin Sane would be the first MWF title holder in the promotion's history.

 

Then, of course there was last year with nine exciting matches at the PETA Theater Center in Quezon City.  It happened on Sunday, December 11th.  Among the nine quality matches that night, Isaiah Valencia would make it on to the main roster.  There was a great women's match between Crystal and Chelsea Marie.  It concluded with Fabio Makisig winning the title over a very deserving champion at the time in Jake De Leon.

 

Since that night, much has happened.  The roster has grown with the editions of Joya, Kurt Jiminez. A new faction in Oro Plata Mata has surfaced led by Mr. Sy.  Manila Wrestling Federation now can be seen in much of the Philippines.  Thanks to a new channel, Rock Of Manila TV, the possibility is now fact.  Subscribers can still watch the shows on GANK.  When the promotion is not doing their shows at the PMC Spotlight Theater, there is an outdoor venue at Mandala Park in Mandaluyong.  There have been a couple of shows there.

 

Now, we have 2023 Noche Buena.  Four matches have been made already with more on the way.

 

A unique setup for the MWF Pinoy Wrestling Championship has been determined.  You have an eight man tag team match.  The Oro Plata Mata team (Jake De Leon, Dabid Ravena, Main Maxx and Kurt Jiminez) will take on the MWF All Stars (Fabio Makisig, Robin Sane, Nigel San Jose and Danny Zamora).

 

This fan was thinking about this last night.  There are three scenarios regarding the last two wrestlers in the ring.  You could have one wrestler from each team.  Or, you can have two wrestlers from Oro Plata Mata or two wrestlers from the MWF All Stars left.  It will be a very interesting match.

 

The four way women's match with Chelsea Marie, Joya, Super P. and the debut of Patricia Ligaya is one this fan is looking forward to.

 

Then, Brother Jomar Liwanag going up against Aaron Liwanag.  The winner is the leader of the group.

 

There are, I'm told, three wrestlers from the Hong Kong Pro Wrestling Association that will wrestle at the show.  Ho Ho Lun, Bitman and Michael Su are the competitors and are definitely coming to the Philippines to win!  Ho Ho Lun is facing a capable opponent in "Danger" Rex Lawin who is back after several months away from the ring.

 

There is also the Hong Kong-Philippines Cup that will be announced soon along with several more matches.

 

Finally, after some decision making, it's time for another mini vacation and a little celebrating!  This blogger has secured his ticket and is looking forward to a couple of weeks away from America in the Philippines!  For this fan, sequels are always fun.      

New Taiwan Wrestling's Next Show

New Taiwan Wrestling's next show will take place on Saturday, November 18th beginning at 2pm with the doors opening at 1:30pm.  The venue is  Zhongguang Dojo :No. 20, Lane 20, Sec. 1, Xingren Road, Zhongli District, Taoyuan City (5 mins walk from Neiang Railway Station).

 

On this day, New Taiwan Wrestling in cooperation with Middle Kingdom Wrestling will have a well known wrestler in Zombie Dragon appear at the show.

SPW: Viva La Lucha Update

Each time this blogger looks at Singapore Pro Wrestling and the shows that are being put on, the shows are top notch!

 

Since I started doing this blog, and looking back, SPW is definitely the leader in Southeast Asia wrestling.  SPW: Viva La Lucha will be their fourth show this year.  When looking at the three previous shows, every match was top quality with a good number being Championship Title matches. Seeing some videos, wrestling fans, who were in attendance, saw some great action at the Foo Chow Building!

 

This blogger looked back at many of the show results on Cagematch.  Andruew and company have made sure that wrestling fans in Singapore are getting their money's worth.  Also, many, if not all of the top performers in Southeast Asia, have appeared in the shows.

 

SPW Viva La Lucha will be no exception here.  There are five different Championship Matches that will take place in this show.  Samuray Del Sol (formerly Kalisto) versus Andruew Tang IS a main event match anywhere in Southeast Asia.  The Horrors vs. Bryson Blade and CK Vin tag team match will be a really entertaining match as well.

 

Before mentioning about tickets, congratulations to Alexis Lee, the SPW Queen Of Asia Champion on being in the top 250 women wrestlers worldwide in Pro Wrestling Illustrated's latest January 2024 issue.  More than well deserved!

 

For more on tickets, and the show is about one month away, please check the SPW page on Facebook.

Grapplemax

This blogger has done several posts on Grapplemax Pro Wrestling Singapore since reblogging.  Whether, it is to share results from a concluded show or sharing information about a wrestler in the promotion, this fan feels there's a lot more to share about them.

 

Grapplemax is one of three wrestling promotions in Singapore, along with Singapore Pro Wrestling and Ring Of Rebirth.  On their website, it says that it is Singapore's Fastest Growing Pro Wrestling Community.

 

In this blogger's mind, Grapplemax is building their product the correct way.  Their first show took place in 2017 and they haven't looked back. If this is correct, they have had more than 40 shows since the first one.

 

The roster is diverse, around 20 people aging from 16 to 46.  They have their own studio that has increased in size at UBI 55 on 55 Ubi Avenue.

 

Their shows have been held to sold out crowds so there is a good fan base in Singapore.  Certainly, things are definitely good and on the rise!

 

On the wrestling front, Grapplemax is led by their Openweight Champion, Big Dave and Wrestle Square Cruiserweight Champion, Jordan.  Both have proven that they deserve to be at the top.  Big Dave has had the title since the very inception in December 2022.  Jordan won the Cruiserweight belt a couple of months ago in a three way match against Simon Siah and Christian.

 

However, there is a lot of competition for both of the prestigious titles.  Anytime you have the likes of Christian, Ban, Hotshot, Simon Siah, Joses, Showtime and Showtime Inc., Wildfire Remus and more, on any given night, any of the wrestlers mentioned, could be a title holder.  

 

Also, this fan is always excited to see a promotion have women wrestlers.  It's great to see Sarah as one of the members on the roster.  Hopefully, this will be an inspiration in getting more women to wrestle!

 

This fan believes that Endboss Gregory, Crypto Bro LK and Big Dave are involved in the training although there may be others that haven't been mentioned.  If this blogger left out anyone, please let me know via message and will correct this. 

 

Hopefully sometime in 2024, while visiting on vacation in Singapore, I'll take in a show.  I've seen their shows on You Tube and always come away impressed with how hard they've worked to perform in front of the fans.  It's definitely a must see if you are a wrestling fan.
