SETUP Thailand's Blick Drewz

Hello everyone.

 

The next SETUP Thailand wrestling show is on Saturday, March 22nd with the event, EP21 Double Cross.  Part of the event will feature a series called the Uprising Series.

 

For those that haven't been following, but reading for the first time, SETUP has selected six wrestlers who will take part in the tournament as you can see on the top of the post.  This blogger has done feature stories on Kru Pol, Kevin Weng and Flame Drake.  The next feature will be someone who recently returned to pro wrestling here in Thailand.  His name is Blick Drewz.

 

The first time hearing about Blick Drewz was an article by Under The Ropes called Thailand's Pro Wrestlers in 2019.  There was mention of a tag team that wrestled for Gatoh Move Pro Wrestling (which today is ChocoPro).  The team consisted of Monomoth and Blick Drewz.  Eventually, the two would separate when two promotions, SETUP Thailand and TOP Dojo would begin separate promotions in the country.

 

In February 2020, Blick Drewz would be one of eight wrestlers that would take part in the promotion's first show, Reborn at the Motorway Dojo.  He would continue during the year.  He would finish 2020 winning in a tag team match in December.  It would be over a year before the promotion put on another show.  The covid-19 epidemic was the reason.

 

Likely because of the uncertainty, Blick would step away from the ring.  It happened to a few wrestlers worldwide so the retirement was not uncommon.

 

Because of the passion, the increased number of wrestling fans in Thailand, and missing the excitement and competition, Blick eventually returned to the squared circle.

 

In November's show, EP20 - Year End Climax, he made his return to the ring in a 20 person SETUP Rumble.  The fans at The Circus Studio cheered wildly because they had no idea that he was returning to action.  Up until that time, not everyone was named to take part in the event.

 

Since that time, Blick Drewz had wrestled in another SETUP show, Bangkok Navigation as a part of a tag team with someone who he was familiar with back in 2020, Flame Drake.

 

As of this post, both Blick Drewz and Flame Drake along with Kru Pol, Kevin Weng, Pondhub and Gunn will take part in the Uprising Series that begins on Saturday, March 22.  Blick does have some experience going back to 2019 and despite the layoff, he will be certain to meet the challenge of the other competitors in the tournament.  It's great to see any wrestler return, especially one who loves in-ring competition!  Fans, and all of us in the pro wrestling scene, especially in Thailand, are excited about his return to action.
