Some Pinoy Wrestling Updates!


Over the past few hours, this blogger learned that ringside seats for the Manila Wrestling Federation Kasaysayan Show are now sold out!

 

This is definitely good news.  Personally, I don't know how much the UP Film Institute Media Center holds for a pro wrestling event.  From seeing photos, it definitely looks more than the PMC Spotlight Theater and the PETA Center.  This coming summer when visiting, I hope to get a chance to see it prior to seeing the MWF Road To Fate show in August.

 

Speaking of MWF Kaysaysan, this definitely is a star studded show.  Hopefully, if any wrestling fan hasn't bought a ticket or tickets yet, please do so! It's never a great idea in waiting until the last minute.  The last show I went to in December, there were a few people that, nearly, didn't get tickets!  The show was sold out!

 

Just to remind everyone, the MWF Kasaysayan show in on Sunday, April 14th, 4:30pm, at the UP Film Institute Media Center.

 

Following the show, there will be a Meet And Greet.  You MUST have a ticket to be at the Meet And Greet!

 


Also, with the past few hours, the poster for the upcoming Dexcon wrestling show and Meet And Greet is now up at UNBOX Greenhills.  Definitely, the poster looks pretty cool!  

 

The Meet And Greet is on Saturday, March 23rd beginning at 12 noon.

             

Please note the following info:  WrestleBazaar is a FREE Entry event where you can shop your favorite wrestling merch, meet other wrestling fans and talk about anything wrestling.
 
 
Simultaneously happening is the WrestleStorm Meet and Greet where you can meet the stars of WrestleStorm before the big day.
 
 
Buy your meet and greet tickets at https://dexcon.helixpay.ph/
 
 
On Sunday, March 24th, the actual show takes place at Brawl Pit Bulusan beginning at 6pm.  Next week, I will update everyone on the matches for the show once again.

Congratulations!


Congratulations to the Manila Wrestling Federation on recently surpassing 75,000 viewers on their Facebook page.

 

MWF was among the first several promotions that this blogger started following around 2019 in the Southeast Asia region.  The group, as well as the promotion, have always been communicative in the time doing this blog.

 

Communication is always important when promoting a product and the Manila Wrestling Federation has done just that.  All the best to MWF going forward.

"The Gym Bro", Thiago will take on "The Mad Doctor, Jan Evander in a singles match as one of several matches lined up on the show.

Mike Madrigal (C) vs. Robynn for the FPW Championship.

Duke Ortega vs. Ralph Imabayashi.

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!

 

For more information, including tickets, please visit the ticket2me.net website and/or visit the FPW - Filipino Pro Wrestling page on Facebook.    

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!

MWF Kasaysayan Show Update #8

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.
