FPW: Astig April Show Update #1


This match has been brewing for weeks now.  There will be a six man tag match as one of the featured ones for the FPW Astig April show.


The team of The Yolo Twins and Good Guy Quatro will take on Evan Carleaux, Cali Nueva and James "Idol" Martinez.


From the one show that this fan witnessed last August, The Yolo Twins and Good Guy Quatro work well together.  The question will be in the other corner with Evan Carleaux, Cali Nueva and James "Idol" Martinez.  Evan Carleaux and Cali Nueva definitely work well together as a tag team.  The question is if James "Idol" Martinez can work well with the other two wrestlers.  This fan is not saying that Martinez cannot work well with the two, but usually, Martinez is, more than likely, opposing Carleaux, Nueva or both in singles or tag team action!

 

This fan wasn't at the last show, but hopefully, someone can message me as to how Martinez was selected for this match.

 

The show will take place on Sunday, April 14th at the PMC Spotlight Blackbox Theater, Circuit Makati beginning at 2pm. 

 

Anyway, for more information on the show including tickets, please check the ticket2me.net website and/or check the FPW - Filipino Pro Wrestling page on Facebook.  Thank you.

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.

It has now been announced by matchmaker, Linus Santos, that "The Red Lightning" Robin Sane will take on SETUP Thailand's Shivam in what is billed as a dream match!

If you haven't seen Shivam, please check him out on SETUP Thailand's You Tube page.  He has been a SETUP Singapore and AWGC Junior Heavyweight Champion.   You won't be disappointed what he brings night in and night out in the ring.

Kyushu Pro Wrestling


On Sunday, April 14th, Manila Wrestling Federation will be holding their next show, MWF Kasaysayan in cooperation with Kyushu Pro Wrestling.  The event will be held at the UP Film Institute Media Center in UP Dillman.

 

Other than former WWE wrestler, Tajiri, who will be in a main event, hardly did this fan know of the rest of the roster.

 

Earlier today, I watched a match on You Tube between Naoki Sakurajima and Hitamaru Sasaki in a recent singles match. The two wrestlers will be taking on WOW Tag Team Champions, Saint John Martin and Ken Cifer in a championship match.

 

There were several things that impressed me.  First off, early in the singles match, it reminded me of the early days of watching wrestling in the Territory Era.  There was actual wrestling in this match as there was with two quality competitiors back in the day.  The match was nearly 20 minutes long with the result ending in a draw.  However, it was a little controlled but exciting.

 

I'm not saying that I don't like how the product is today with the acrobatic skills, high flying and sometimes crazy maneuvers.  However, matches like Naoki Sakurajima and Hitamaru Sasaki need to happen more often.

 

The other thing that stood out was the fact that there were a lot of young fans there.  The young fans are what helps make the product great and they are the future fans going forward.

 

Kyushu Pro Wrestling is on You Tube and on Facebook.  I don't speak Japanese but looking at their Facebook page and their website, they have a busy schedule.  The MWF Kasaysayan event is on there.

 

For fans who have never seen Kyushu Pro Wrestling and are looking to familiarize themselves with the wrestlers, please check their You Tube page of their recent matches.  I believe the fans are in for a great time at the UP Film Institute.

VPW: Spring Bash Update #4


Hello everyone!  Another match has been added to Vietnam Pro Wrestling's show, Spring Bash, to be held on Saturday, March 16th at the VAIB Studio.

 

In a singles match, Chi Bao will be facing former VPW Openweight Champion, Damien Wolfe.  This will be a good test for Chi Bao who returned to Vietnam last year from Japan.

 

For more information on the show and tickets, please check the Vietnam Pro Wrestling page on Facebook.  Thank you.

Dexcon - Wrestle Storm announcement


My favorite wrestling matchmaker, Linus Santos, made a major announcement regarding the Wrestle Storm show next month.  The event will take place on the weekend of March 23-24th.  More on the event later in the post.  I'm working on getting the video on the blog.  In the meantime, please check either the Dexcon or Pro Wrestling Asia pages.  It is worth watching.

 

Linus announced that the Kappa World Order (Kappa Kozo and Kappa Junior) will be at the Sunday show.  The venue is the Brawl Pit Bulusan beginning at 6pm.

 

Kappa World Order, if you are new to pro wrestling in the region, wrestles with the promotion, SETUP Thailand Pro Wrestling.  Let's just say that the two wrestlers are definitely worth going to watch.  Certainly, wrestling fans in Thailand have watched KWO for several years and have not been disappointed.  Also, if you plan on being at the show, besides having your ticket(s), please bring a cucumber or two.

 

There are other matches to be announced including Robin Sane's dream match opponent for the show.  Here is the schedule of events that weekend.


Meet And Greet - Saturday, March 23rd at Unbox Greenhills beginning at 12 noon!

Wrestling Show - Sunday, March 24th at Brawl Pit Bulusan beginning at 6pm.
