The YOLO Twins

Last year, this blogger had an opportunity to see a tag team match at the August FPW Astig show.  It wasn't just an ordinary tag team match either.

 

The YOLO Twins are the premier tag team in Filipino Pro Wrestling, if not all of Southeast Asia.  No question about it.  They are very capable of beating teams such as Aussie Aussie Aussie (Grapplemax) or Venomshank (Vietnam Pro Wrestling).  This writer is not bashing the teams mentioned.  However, there is something special about this team.

 

Yohann and Logan Ollores are a great and cohesive tag team.  In their match last year, this blogger was, more than impressed, with the athleticism, agility and the quickness.  Both wrestlers have the instincts of where the other is, and will be, when it is needed.  Seeing a video of them in tag team action and live are two different things.

 

Right now, Filipino Pro Wrestling is nearing their one year anniversary as a promotion.  There is yet to be a tag team division in the company because of the company size.  It is growing thanks to the FPW Academy!

 

The YOLO Twins have faced several teams in FPW.  Recently, they visited Singapore and wrestled in a Grapplemax show.  Though they don't have belts right now, The YOLO Twins have been two time - PWR Tag Team Champions.

Last year at FPW's final Astig show in August, this blogger sensed that there was a faction in the making forming.  Good Guy Quatro, a great wrestler and champion with PWR, has become part of a group now called Vandals MNL.  I haven't seen the faction yet in tag team action.  However, there is no question that they could dominate in any match, whether it is in the Philippines or elsewhere.

 

Moving forward, The YOLO Twins will be facing "The Walking Death" Mike Madrigal and James "Idol" Martinez in a tag team match this coming Sunday at FPW Astig.  The YOLO Twins and Mike Madrigal, as was pointed out in a recent promo, are both undefeated in FPW competition.  

 

The question is who will remain undefeated?  We will find out this Sunday at the Baked Studios in Makati City!  The show begins at 2pm!

MYPW: Fight Back Show Update

Hello everyone!

 

There have been two matches added to Malaysia Pro Wrestling's show, Fight Back.  The show will take place on Saturday, August 3rd at 6pm bell time.  The venue is the Kuash Theater TTDI.

Also, Alexis Lee, the CWE Vixen Champion will face Poppy for the championship.  Alexis has been the champion now for over 2000 days and has no intentions to give it up any time soon.

 

For more information, including tickets, please visit the Malaysia Pro Wrestling Facebook page.  Thank you.   

VPW: The Rumble Update #1

Vietnam Pro Wrestling's next show, The Rumble will take place on Saturday, August 17th at 7pm.  The venue if the VAIB Studio D7.

 

There is one match made for the show since the last post.

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

Unang Tibok

Hello everyone!

 

According to Google translate, the words "Unang Tibok" translate from Filipino to English as First Beat.

Unang Tibok is the theme for the first PUSO Wrestling show.  The date of the pilot show is Saturday, August 17th with bell time at 6pm.  The venue is the Brawl Pit Bulusan (map above) in Quezon City.  The address is 41 Bulusan Street (corner of Calamba).

 

This blogger didn't mention this in his last post but there will be a show, and matches galore!

 

One match is set for the show already.  Chelsea Marie will take on "Mr. Philippine Wrestling" Jake De Leon in the Main Event.

 

It has also been announced that the first round of a tournament will take place to determine the inaugural Pusong Pinoy Wrestling Championship!  This sounds very exciting.  At the moment, this blogger doesn't know how many matches.  The announcement will happen in the coming days.  This blogger will share it with all of you when it happens!

 

Tickets for the show are on sale now!  Please visit the PUSO Wrestling page on Facebook for information regarding the show.  If you buy before Sunday, July 15th, it is 5% off the current ticket prices.

 

Finally, if you, or anyone you know, want to sponsor the show, please email  pusowrestling@gmail.com for details.  It is much appreciated.  Thank you.

FPW Astig July Show #7

FPW Astig will be having their next show this coming Sunday July 14th at 2pm.  The venue is the Baked Studios at Makati City.

 

Another match that this blogger is excited about is one particular match. It features a student who had her impressive debut at the last show versus the teacher who is no stranger to Pinoy wrestling. We are talking about Roxy Reeves vs. Ralph Imabayashi.

 

Roxy Reeves made her in-ring debut at the last show against Proximo and this blogger has learned that she was impressive in the match.  This is great news for FPW, women's wrestling in the Philippines and throughout Southeast Asia and the industry!

 

The Best Pure Wrestler in Ralph Imabayashi is a season veteran in Pinoy wrestling history.  Besides wrestling, he is a trainer with the FPW Academy.  There have been some recent graduates out of the Academy and Roxy is one!  It will be interesting how this match plays out.

 

I'll have an update on the show in my next post.  Also, this fan is interested in what President Red Ollero's announcement will be on July 14th.  It sounds like it will be big.

 

Finally, if anyone is interested in wanting to become a pro wrestler, please visit the FPW - Filipino Pro Wrestling page on Facebook.  Once you are there, please click the message button and inquire.  My understanding is that the academy is open each Sunday although it won't be this coming Sunday due to their show.  However, please Facebook message them for more details.  Thank you.

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.

Another Intriguing Match At FPW's July Astig Show

This blogger has been following pro wrestling for a long time now (55 years or so).  I've seen nearly every type of match that has existed.

 

Filipino Pro Wrestling will have their next show this coming Sunday, July 14th.  The venue is the Baked Studios and bell time is 2pm.

 

The Main Event is definitely one to watch.  The YOLO Twins will face FPW Champion, Mike Madrigal and James "Idol" Martinez in a tag team encounter.

 

This blogger wasn't in attendance at the last FPW Astig show.  There were some things at the show that brought this match on.

 

This blogger has read some stuff from people that James "Idol" Martinez is not "main event" material.  Some people think that he's not serious enough with his craft as a professional wrestler.  Some fans think that this is a joke!

 

Obviously, as a blogger, and writer, I look at this differently.  Anyone who gets into pro wrestling has to be serious enough.  There's a lot of sacrifice involved, time spent in and out of the ring, and a lot more.  Wrestlers take bumps in workouts.  Certainly, people such as President, Red Ollero, and Mike Madrigal believe he's worthy for this upcoming match.

 

I've seen Martinez one time while at a FPW show.  The match he was involved in was at times, comical.  However, he does have talent and is someone not to be taken lightly.  No wrestler in any profession should!

 

It will be interesting how this match turns out.  I'm sure the YOLO Twins, as great of a team that they are, have their game plan ready to go.  Recently, they wrestled as part of a six man tag match at Grapplemax Pro Wrestling's show in Singapore.  Let's just say that the match they were involved in didn't quite turn out the way they wanted.

 

Anyway, for more on the show, including tickets, please visit the FPW-Filipino Pro Wrestling page on Facebook.  Thank you.

A Year To Remember For WWE

Today is a different post than what this blogger normally does, which is Southeast Asia Pro Wrestling.

 

Want to talk about WWE for a moment.  This year, the WWE has done PLE shows in more countries than ever before.  This is really no accident since the company wants to be more global than ever.

 

This past weekend, WWE and NXT took the show to Toronto, Ontario (Canada) to sellout indoor crowds of near 20,000.  The Scotiabank Arena was the place to be this past weekend.

 

Next weekend, WWE will do two shows on the south side of America.  Mexico's - Mexico City and Monterrey will have two Super Show events on Saturday / Sunday, July 13-14.  The promotion was in Mexico last year before sellout crowds and it appears that WWE is at a fever pitch this time!

 

Since I do posts on Southeast Asia wrestling, recently, I've thought about sending WWE an e-mail regarding an Asia and Australia tour.  European tours are good and the fans in Scotland, England and Germany have responded big time!

 

Having a show in Australia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, China and Malaysia would be great, not only for the wrestling fans of the countries mentioned, but the promotions themselves.

 

Let me draft a letter or e-mail and see what can be done here.....

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.
