FPW April Astig Update!

Hello everyone!

 

Since the last post, there have been two matches added for the upcoming FPW Astig show.  The date is Sunday, April 14th at 2pm at the PMC Spotlight Blackbox Theater.

 

Mike Madrigal, the current Filipino Pro Wrestling Champion, will face Robynn in the main event of the show.  Mike has been undefeated since the beginning of FPW and it appears that no one will take the title from him.

 

However, Robynn may have something to say about that.  This fan had the chance of seeing her live last August.  She defeated Thiago in a match that woke up some fans at the PMC Theater that day.  Robynn has done well in matches during the past year and deserves a title shot!

 

In the other match that has been made so far, the long awaited rematch between Duke Ortega and Ralph Imabayashi will take place.  The last time the two faced each other was a technical wrestling showcase and this one should be no exception!

Dexcon Wrestle Storm Update

This latest post regarding Dexcon - Wrestle Storm will be a challenge of sorts.  It is the type of post that this blogger has never done before.

 

AFAM Steve will be making his wrestling debut at Wrestle Storm.  His opponent has yet to be named as of this post.  However, the event will take place on the weekend of March 23-24th.  On the 23rd, there will be the Meet And Greet that will take place at Unbox Greenhills beginning at 12 noon.  On Sunday, the show will be at Brawl Pit Bulusan, Quezon City beginning at 6pm.

 

The first thing I though when seeing the video was Mick Foley of WWE and the different characters that he portrayed.  I'm not saying that AFAM Steve is trying to be Mick Foley.  However, this fan really liked him as Steve The Teacher, especially with the wrestler-fan interaction!

 

Word has it that after his loss to Ken Cifer at the WUW event last August, the artist known as Steve The Teacher, felt he needed a change.  After a few minutes of soul searching, he feels he found a new purpose in life.

 

This blogger has followed him on You Tube going back to the time of the pandemic.  Steve has had quite a career in both the United States and in China.  His debut last August at the Brawl Pit Bulusan may have not been what he was hoping for, which was a victory.  However, he came back after a two year absence.  A number of us who watched the match that night thought that Steve didn't miss a step.  It was also cool that day meeting an international wrestler who wrestled in several countries.  This was on top of wrestlers that I met from Southeast Asia.    

 

Now, following him on Facebook, he appears to be in great shape and am sure, he's looking forward to his match, no matter who it will be.  In the days ahead, this fan is looking forward, as all of us, to whom his opponent will be!

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.

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.
