Heart2Heart Update


Hello everyone!

 

The Philippines' PUSO Wrestling has announced that their next show, Heart2Heart, will take place on Saturday, September 21st.  The venue is the Brawl Pit Bulusan in Quezon City beginning at 6pm.

 

One match has been announced for the show as of the last few hours.  

 

Joya will face Chelsea Marie in one of several matches of the show.  This has the makings of a great match!

 

Both wrestlers came off good performances from the inaugural show, Unang Tibok, held last month.  Joya faced a rugged opponent in Aaron Liwanag and, more than, held her own.  Chelsea Marie did likewise in the Main Event against Mr. Philippine Wrestling, Jake De Leon.

 

There is something special added to this match.  The winner of this match will headline next month's Dexcon event in an International Dream Match.  The event is called Jam Of The Joshis that will take place on Sunday, October 13th.  This blogger will share more on that in the days ahead in a separate post.

 

For more information, including tickets, please visit the PUSO Wrestling Facebook page.  From now through Saturday, August 31st, fans can save 5% when buying tickets!  Thank you.

A New Wrestling Podcast!

 

This blogger loves podcasts!

 

My second shout out of today (only in terms of posts) is someone I met officially before last week's PUSO show in the Philippines.

 

Miguel Navarro is the World Underground Wrestling - Philippines Coorespondent and is very active at Pinoy wrestling shows throughout Metro Manila.  It was definitely an honor to meet him and share our passion of local wrestling.

 

Just recently, Miguel began a podcast titled Ready To Rambol.  It covers the wrestling scene locally.

 

His first episode was really good.  It wasn't too long nor too short.  Roughly 17 minutes is definitely a good start.  I mentioned this to Miguel in a brief conversation after listening in.

 

The podcast can be caught on Spotify.  I'm not positive on this but you don't have to be a member of Spotify to check it out.  For those wanting to listen in, here's the link that is posted below.  All the best to Miguel going forward.  Maybe one day, this blogger may do one himself!

Matchmaker - Linus


During this blogger's recent visit to the Philippines, had the opportunity to meet two people whom are important in the wrestling scene.  I'm actually going to do the two separately.

 

Linus Joshua (hopefully the blogger has this correct.  If incorrect Linus, please message me and will correct) is a match maker for Dexcon.  For those not knowing what Dexcon is, the group began in 2023 promoting matches involving local pinoy and out of country wrestling talent as well as Meet And Greets.  

 

Their first show was, I believe, in August 2023.  In 2024, they will be hosting their third show, the weekend of October 12-13.


This blogger was at the show last year and was impressed with what happened.  The Meet And Greet and the wrestling show took place at the Brawl Pit Bulusan on a Monday which was a National holiday for the country.  Next to Brawl Pit is a nice cafe called Onyang's which I recommend to anyone who visits.

 

Honestly, I didn't remember if I met Linus at the August show last year but wanted to meet him last weekend.  This blogger was definitely humbled with the opportunity.

 

Linus and Dexcon have put on several exceptional shows.  The August 2023 show had local pinoy wrestlers from WUW - Philippines and current PUSO talent.  Alexis Lee, Poppy, Kojio Akumu and Steve The Teacher (now Afam Steve) were from promotions outside the Philippines and added a flavor that made it an entertaining evening.

 

Dexcon's shows this year have had the likes of the Calamari Drunken Kings (Chris Brookes and Masahiro Takanashi) and Zach Sabre Jr. at their two shows.  They were both well attended and were well quality events.  Dexcon deserves a lot of kudos for their effort.  Wrestle Storm and Dexcon Decada were superb!


Linus is not alone in the effort.  He has a support crew whom I chat with almost everyday that helps this blogger promote the shows better. 

 

Their next show is actually two shows as well as a Meet And Greet to my understanding.  The event will take place the weekend of October 12-13.  This blogger will have more on the event in the coming days.

PUSO Wrestling's Next Show

 

PUSO Wrestling in the Philippines has announced their next show!

 

The event, Heart2Heart, will take place on Saturday, September 21 at 6pm.  The venue is the Brawl Pit Bulusan in Quezon City.  The following part is courtesy of PUSO Wrestling so will post it here...

 


PUSO Wrestling's 2nd show gives you twice the action, twice the drama, and twice the fun!
 
 
In the main event, two formidable Pinay Wrestlers go head-to-head (or shall we say, heart-to-heart?) in a battle to see who gets to headline Dexcon's Jam of the Joshis in October. 
 
 
We also have two semi-final matches of the Pusong Pinoy Wrestling Championship Tournament—who are the last two competitors standing to make it all the way to the final round? PLUS! More exciting matches featuring your favorite Puso stars!
 
 
For more information on the show, including tickets,  please visit the PUSO Wrestling Facebook page.  Ticket prices for the show will be 5% off when you buy through August 31st which is one week away from today!


Last weekend's debut show was a sellout so please don't be left out!  Thank you.

A Packed House!


Before the doors opened!


It was announced yesterday that Saturday night's PUSO Wrestling show drew over 150 people at the Brawl Pit Bulusan.  By the second match of the night, every seat was filled! 


A shout out goes to everyone who encouraged fans to come out to see Unang Tibok!  Numerous people did their best to get the word out.  There were the PUSO Wrestling wresters and staff.  There was Jigo Live! promoting the show with several wrestlers.  Definitely, there were the fans who made the trek to the event.  Also, there were the sponsors who helped greatly with the show.  


One added note:  If you haven't seen Facebook over the past couple of days, Delight 37:4 has some great photos from the show!  Please check them out and from this fan, thank you!  In closing with this part, thank you to everyone who made the historic night possible!


As this is being mentioned, all of us who were there, need to continue in getting the word out on when the next show will take place.  As everyone who reads this knows, this blogger is fortunate to attend one show per year because he lives 7000+ miles away in America.  Thus, as a blogger, and a paying customer at Saturday's show, I'll be encouraging someone who wasn't at the last show to be at the next one.  The point is "not to rest on our laurels!"  


All of us, including yours truly, need to encourage current and new fans to see an exciting brand of wrestling.  As always, this is not to be pushy but to encourage fans.  


PUSO Wrestling is on the rise!  I'm not saying this because of being here for the past several weeks.  There is a positive vibe of what's happening with the promotion.  If you don't believe me, please ask someone who was at the event.


Also, a shout out to Onyang's Cafe right next door to Brawl Pit.  This fan loves quesadillas and wasn't disappointed.  The place was packed after the show.  Thank you to the staff.  The post show was fun with people talking and having a good time!  


Also, please comment with any questions, suggestions and thoughts on this blog.  You don't need to mention your name (you can be anomynous if you like).


I'm on my way to America as this is being posted.  This fan will continue to write and support PUSO Wrestling, as well as posting the numerous promotions throughout Southeast Asia.  There are a number of shows coming up.  Will be back on the computer sometime Thursday.  Please be safe everyone!
