The Main Maxx Era Has Begun

Hello everyone.

 

This blogger just finished watching some Pinoy wresting history on You Tube.  PUSO Wrestling, the newest wrestling promotion in Southeast Asia just released a video.  It was for the inaugural Pusong Pinoy Wrestling Championship between Main Maxx and Aaron Liwanag.  This fan wasn't there for the show.  However, he has seen some video clips, photos, etc.  Getting to see it on video was great.  PUSO Wrestling has made some great strides since last June's announcement as a new promotion.  

 

Since December 2022, I've had a chance, off and on, to see both wrestlers live.  Hopefully, this post will be an appreciation of what both wrestlers have done since their start in the squared circle.   

 

At my first Southeast Asia wrestling show at the PETA Theater in Quezon City, Aaron Liwanag was in the very first match.  This giant wrestler is the real deal with an intimidating presence in the ring.  His choke slam will shake up any wrestler, not just in the Philippines, but all of Southeast Asia.  It doesn't hurt that he has a stable in Serafin Liwanag and Solomon Liwanag in his corner watching.  He's young, big and strong.  

 

Mark my words regarding Aaron Liwanag......with a little more experience, he will, no doubt, be a champion.  It could be the Pusong Pinoy Singles Championship, or a tag team championship down the line.

 

Main Maxx is a seasoned veteran wrestler.  He made his wrestling debut in 2015 with Philippine Wrestling Revolution.  He won the PHX Championship in his second year as a pro and was the final PWR Tag Team Title Holders with SANDATA known as MSG.  MSG defeated the KakaBros for the titles and defeated them in a rematch.  Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the eventual closing of PWR, MSG would hold and retire the titles for 187 days.

 

Main Maxx has definitely good moments and some unfortunate ones.  In December 2023, he would lose to Jake De Leon in an eight man elimination tag team match for the Manila Wrestling Federation title.  He would suffer a leg injury in the match.

 

However, there would be the comeback, not only with him but Pinoy Wrestling with a new promotion.  In June 2024, Main Maxx, as well as Aaron Liwanag, would be a significant part of the opening of PUSO Wrestling in what was called PUSO Pinoy Wrestling night.  The event took place at the Brawl Pit Bulusan in Quezon City.

 

In August 2024, PUSO Wrestling would have their first of three remaining shows of the year.  A Pusong Pinoy Wrestling Championship Tournament would decide the inaugural winner over the next four months.

 

Aaron Liwanag would defeat Joya and Super P. to get to the final.

 

Main Maxx would defeat El Kapitunero and Nigel San Jose to get to the final.

 

Most of you already know who won but instead of mentioning it, if you haven't already, please watch it.  There are definitely some great and unpredictable moments in the encounter.  The Brawl Pit Bulusan crowd was, just as this fan expected, electric!  Sonny Go and Romeo Moran, the commentators, had their A game that night calling the action.  You could feel the energy of the match as this fan was watching.  And yes, there would be a new champion in a new era of Pinoy wrestling.
