Wrestlemap

Pro Wrestling has become the fastest when it comes to sports entertainment.  In Southeast Asia alone, nearly every country now has at least one wrestling promotion.  Hopefully one day soon, countries such as Laos and Cambodia will have wrestling shows.  I'm told fairly recently, Indonesia now has a wrestling promotion.  Indonesia currently has the fourth largest population of any country in the world!

A little over a year ago, one of my friends in the industry, Adrian Gomez, who promotes Middle Kingdom Wrestling in China, told me about Wrestlemap.  It's home of the interactive map of pro wrestling worldwide.  Like this blog that you read, the website is an ongoing process.  The group, I believe, is based in Europe.  

I've been on the website several times over the past month and it's great how much time Bryan Anderson, the creator, puts into it.  If any of you have time, please check it out!

This blogger has the link on the right side of the blog.  Also, I've added a link to the page just below.  Hopefully, my friends at PUSO Wrestling in the Philippines don't mind me doing this, but this blogger just e-mailed Wrestlemap to have them added to the growing list.  Here's the link:

Unang Tibok Update #7

Hello everyone!  A couple of things.  My apologies if this is a bit long, but please read it if you have a chance.

As some of you may know, PUSO Wrestling's first show, Unang Tibok is one week away on Saturday, August 17th.  The venue is the Brawl Pit Bulusan beginning at 6pm.

The General Admission and SVIP Tickets are now sold out as of yesterday.  However, a few VIP tickets remain at the 8.8% discount TODAY only!  Please see the PUSO Wrestling Facebook page for more information.  If you are going, plan on purchasing them today.  It is likely that if you wait until next week, you might be disappointed (like no tickets for the shoe left!).  Thank you on this.

Also, this blogger wants to give a shoutout to Dexcon and Solar Sports for last night's showing of the Dexcon Wrestle Storm show on their channel.  From the little I saw, the sound and picture quality was excellent.  Hopefully, those that had a chance to see it will appreciate what is happening here.

Worldwide, including America, it is difficult these days to keep pro wrestling on any channel or network.  With the WWE, both RAW and Smackdown will be leaving USA and FOX by the end of this year.  I'm not sure on this, and will check, but I believe Smackdown is going back to USA.  NXT will be staying on USA for the moment.  Both networks did well with pro wrestling in ratings despite other programing in their various time slots.  

Having Pinoy Wrestling on any kind of cable channel is a plus for the local industry, wrestlers and fans alike.  If anyone has time, please call or even email Solar Sports to let them know how much one appreciates this.  It will mean a lot.  This blogger will do likewise shortly.

Thank you to those with Dexcon and to Solar Sports for making this happen.  It will help the local wrestling industry now and the future!

I will have a couple of more PUSO Wrestling posts next week.  In the meantime, have a good weekend everyone!   
 

Pro Wrestling Society's Next Show

Hello everyone!

Pro Wrestling Society (PWS Korea) will be having their next show on Saturday, August 24th.  The event is called Extreme Heat.  It will take place at the PWS Studios beginning at 4pm.  There is a partnership in the show with PWS Korea and Kyushu Pro Wrestling Japan.

Two matches have been announced for the show so far.

Omerta, the PWS Korea Champion, who won a recent battle royal at the Phoenix Rumble, will take on Nozaki Kodai of Kyushu Pro Wrestling for the Championship.

Also, two legendary wrestlers will butt heads once again as Shiho will take on Tajiri.  This match is definitely a main event anywhere in Southeast Asia.

There will be more matches announced in the coming days.  For information. including tickets, please visit the Pro Wrestling Society Facebook page.  Thank you.    

VPW: The Rumble Update #4

Just a reminder that Vietnam Pro Wrestling's next event, The Rumble, will take place on Saturday, August 17th, 7pm, at the VAIB Studio D7.

Besides several great matches, there will be a 20 wrestler Battle Royal.  

Tickets are still on sale for the event.  Please check the Vietnam Pro Wrestling Facebook page for more information.  Thank you.  

Unang Tibok Update #6

Good morning everyone!

Business is picking up, as they say, as PUSO Wrestling's inaugural show is less than 10 days away!

This week alone, Jigo Live here in the Philippines has had two shows with four of PUSO Wrestling's wrestlers on the program.  If you haven't seen either episode, please check it out!  Both episodes were good, especially the one last night with Chelsea Marie and Jake De Leon.

This evening for those who have Facebook, The Wrestling-Wrestling Podcast will be live at 7pm with all things wrestling!  I've been told that what is going on in wrestling worldwide and locally will be discussed.  This blogger plans to be tuning in.  You can listen to it either on Facebook or You Tube.

From today. August 8th through August 10th, remaining tickets for the Unang Tibok show on August 17th will be 8.8% off the regular price.  If you've decided that you want to go to the show, please take advantage of this before the show sells out!  For more, please check the PUSO Wrestling Facebook page!  Before forgetting, the show begins at 6pm at the Brawl Pit Bulusan, the mecca of Pinoy Wrestling!

Finally, this blogger has had the best time ever in the country, in spite of the rain that has hit the region.  I've had a great time with several wrestling fans talking about Pinoy Wrestling, WWE, AEW and more.  In advance, thank you, not only for the welcome, but the great time here.   

As this blogger has said numerous times, Pinoy wrestling fans are extremely knowledgeable and passionate!  They want the product to succeed badly in this country.  In the days ahead, I'm sure I'll be talking to more fans as the Unang Tibog show gets closer.

From the observation of this blogger, PUSO Wrestling is on the right track and doing the right things to make this work.  As one sponsor and a fan, hopefully I'm being of help with the sponsorship and promoting on the blog.  Certainly, there is no doubts in this fan's mind that the show will be successful.

Will talk and see you guys soon!  Have a good day everyone!

SPW: Hardcore Island 2 Update #3

Hello everyone.

Let's update all of the matches regarding SPW's show, Hardcore Island 2: A Fine City.  The event is to be held at the Foo Chow Building on Friday, August 16 beginning at 7:30 pm.

Since the last post, a couple of matches have been added.  

Zhan Wen, from Australia, will take on Riz in one match.  Zhan Wen just recently won a two on one handicap match at the Malaysia Pro Wrestling show last Saturday night.

Another match will feature Emman against CK Vin in a chairs match.

In a Loser Gets Caned match, Referee Ryan (yes, a referee!) will take on Bryson Blade.  I've seen just one caned match on You Tube and getting caned isn't something to be the recipient of.

Jack N' Cheese will take on the Gym Bros in an Open Challenge tag team match.

Finally, a women's Triple Threat Match will feature Alexis Lee vs. Miyu Yamashita vs. Kaya Toribami.  This will, no doubt, be a wild match for everyone to see.  Alexis Lee just came off a win at the Malaysia Pro Wrestling show this past Saturday.

For more on tickets, please visit the SPW Facebook page.  Thank you.

Gatoh Move Upcoming Show

Want to let everyone know that this blogger is enjoying the Philippines visit a whole bunch!  So much has happened in such a short time.  Have talked with several pinoy wrestling fans already and watched Summerslam with a friend of mine (which was one of the best 'Slams ever!).  

And being here when the Paris Olympics is going on and seeing Carlos Yulo getting Gold twice in Gymnastics!  Amazing!  Nesthy and Aira are still competing for medals!  And then there's my favorite in the pole fault in RJ Obiena!  I got to see him live last year in a huge track and field meet at the Prefontaine Classic!  All the best to all three athletes.  You are making this country proud and we are all seeing history!

Sorry I got away from pro wrestling momentarily.  However, the latest bit of pro wrestling news needs to be posted and fast.

Homegrown pinoy pro wrestler, Jake De Leon will be traveling to Japan later this month for a show put on by Gatoh Move (also known as ChocoPro).  He will be the first pinoy pro wrestler to wrestle in Tokyo's, Korauken Hall!  This is a great honor for any wrestler, especially from outside Japan.

JDL wrestled last month in Malaysia and nearly took the Ambition Global Heavyweight Title from Shaukat in the main event of their show.  He gave Shaukat all he could handle before the latter escaped with the win.

Jake will be teaming up with SPWs, Dr. Gore (w/UMA) and Antonio Honda against three other teams.  Notables such as Shivam and Monomoth of SETUP Thailand will also be on the show.

The thing that really stands out, besides the talent at the event, is the fact that the show will take place at Korauken Hall.  The arena is a short walk from the Tokyo Dome and is the mecca for pro wrestling in Japan.  New Japan Pro Wrestling has hosted many shows there.

The event, For The Future, will take place on Saturday, August 31st beginning at 11:30 am.  Doors open at 10:45am.

I know that one wrestling fan, and friend of mine, will be in Japan, and hopefully at the show.  For those that are interested in seeing this event, please visit the Gatoh Move Pro Wrestling Facebook page.  There is a recent post where you can possibly get tickets.  Thank you.

Thank You Sponsors

This blogger has been in the Philippines now for the past 48 hours.  Each visit has always been a little better and more memorable than the previous one.  This post is a bit long, but important.

Wanted to take time to mention about PUSO Wrestling.  Since the end of the Dexcon Decada show in late May, it is fantastic how PUSO Wrestling has put things together in such a short time.

Everyone on the roster is determined to see this work, and work the right way.  Though this blogger hasn't been in the country to see what is happening, what has transpired over the past eight to nine weeks is no surprise.  No one on this roster wanted to see things go the other way, and that was for pinoy wrestling to fade away (in my words).

Determination is a positive, especially when everyone in the promotion is on the same page.  Certainly, this fan has the sense that the pinoy wrestling fans feel the same way.  This blogger has messaged several fans and each one feel the same way as I do.  

There will always be people who will doubt what is happening.  However, I have never felt that with this roster, and the people behind the scenes.

Want to give a huge than you to those that are sponsoring this show.  All of you love pro wrestling, particularly pinoy wrestling as much, if not more than myself.  This blogger, the pinoy wrestling fans and PUSO Wrestling appreciates this a lot.

Some fans may wonder why that this blogger wants to sponsor this show and the future.  I'll be as brief as possible on this.

Being a wrestling fan of 56 years (yes, I'm old!), this blogger has always wanted to give a little something back to pro wrestling that it's been given to me.  I decided on this during the Covid pandemic.

My first wrestling show outside of North America was in December 2022.  Nearly two years and, soon to be five more wrestling shows, there's something magical happening at a wrestling show in Metro Manila.  

More important, the pinoy wrestling fans who have followed this roster over the years, deserve to see them in two weeks, and hopefully beyond.  The roster deserves this opportunity as well.  In closing, this blogger will do what he can to help the cause.

I will see some of you in the upcoming days, and of course at the Unang Tibok show on Saturday, August 17th!  The show is at the Brawl Pit Bulusan beginning at 6pm.  

Tickets are still available for the show.  Just learned that General Admission tickets are sold out.  VIP and SVIP tickets are still available!  

By all means, if you are planning to go, please don't wait until the last second!  Please visit PUSO Wrestling's Facebook page for more information.  If you know anyone that would like to sponsor the upcoming show, please email PUSO Wrestling at pusowrestling@gmail.com for details.  Thank you. 

MYPW Show Update #8

Just a reminder to the fans in Malaysia that Malaysia Pro Wrestling's show for this coming weekend is nearly sold out.

If you're planning to go, please check the Malaysia Pro Wrestling Facebook page for more information.  The event takes place this coming Saturday night at the KuAsh Theater TTDI beginning at 6pm.

Thank you everyone!

Unang Tibok Update #5

It's been a couple of days.  Wanted to update on the upcoming PUSO Wrestling show.  For those who are seeing this blog for the first time, the show will take place on Saturday, August 17th beginning at 6pm.  Location is the Brawl Pit Bulusan in Quezon City.

Jake De Leon, off two major matches with Zack Sabre Jr. and Shaukat in Malaysia, will face Chelsea Marie in a return match from the Pinoy Wrestling Night a few weeks back.

JDL is now on his second 100 matches of his career, and he's not taking this upcoming match lightly.  Shaukat found that out just recently when the two wrestlers butted heads at APAC Wrestling's last show.

Also, this fan believes that Chelsea Marie is training well for what will be her biggest match to date.

For more on this show, including tickets, please visit the PUSO Wrestling Facebook page.  Also, if interested in sponsoring this show, please email Puso Wrestling at pusowrestling@gmail.com for details.    

This fan will be here in Quezon City for the next three weeks, including the show!
