Interview #18 - Nashokur

Hello everyone!

 

The next interview is one that this blogger has looked forward to.  For the first time since doing this blog, the interview is with a trainee.  He is not just a normal trainee either.

 

The trainee going by the name of Nashokur is training to be a wrestler with Filipino Pro Wrestling in the Philippines.  At my first FPW show back in August 2023, Nashokur along with LegenDarius, and several other staff members, welcomed me to the show.  It was a very warm feeling for someone who was very new to the pro wrestling scene in Southeast Asia.  This blogger will never forget that day as I did with two other Philippine wrestling promotions and  shows.

 

The blogger has been following some of Nashokur's journey in his future as a professional wrestler on social media.  When approaching me and wanting to do this interview, you can say that this fan was, more than excited.  Without going further, here is the interview that took place recently.

 

Wayne:  When did you begin to follow wrestling?

 

Nashokur:  It was on 2011, Where CM Punk is at the top of the wrestling world. The first WWE event i've watched is Money In The Bank 2011 on TV while my brother is watching it and got into it immediately. I stopped watching time to time due to other things, But pro wrestling is still one of my favorite things that keeps me engaged~

 

Wayne:  When did you actually start training with FPW?

 

Nashokur:  On February 4, 2023, Before FPW Astig began. From the FPW Academy Batch 1#, Where i'm with some already graduated FPW wrestlers right now, Which are Proximo, Roxy Reeves and LegenDarius.

 

Wayne:  Knowing that the training is going well, what has been the easiest and hardest part of your workouts?  

 

Nashokur:  The first days joining FPW Academy was tough and tiring. But eventually if you consistenly training in FPW and outside FPW, You'll get used to it and easier to learn things in the ring. Right now, The hardest thing to work on is being confident in the ring by shouting out something in your mind to the crowd, Basically a character. Probably one of the reasons that i'm not ready being out there yet, Which is totally fine, But that time will come soon~.

 

Wayne:  What are your thoughts of Mike (Madrigal), Ralph (Imabayashi) and those training you?

 

Nashokur:  The coaches, the wrestlers and the newer trainees are very welcoming and friendly as you met them~. Mike Madrigal is the first wrestler that i'm a fan with in PWR days on 2017, Knowing him and training with him is such a huge honoured to have. I wasn't a fan of Ralph Imabayashi the first time i saw him in PWR, But eventually i have a huge respect for him, He was the main coach in the Academy before Mike. I've learned a lot from them all those 2 years being in FPW, Not just being in the pro wrestling industry but also outside things that effect your daily life for the better. All of them in FPW are like my best friends now~

 

Wayne:  Your thoughts on FPW and its future.  

 

Nashokur:  The future for FPW will get even more brighter, By seeing or watched the latest FPW's 1st Secret Show event recently by the new announcer, The new referee, The graduated wrestlers and planning for FPW to be bigger than before will be amazing!. And me being part of it, No matter what roles i'm in, I'm always honoured, grateful and a fun ride in that journey and hope everyone in FPW don't quit and make our dreams come true, And also the fans are very supporting consistenly even with or without a show for a few months is such a blessing to have, Especially in the Philippines which is awesome!~

 

 

Nashokur, thank you so much for doing this.  All the best as your training continues.  Hopefully, on this fan's next visit to the Philippines, we'll get to see you in a match at an FPW Astig show.
