Hello everyone.
Here are the results from SETUP Thailand's show, EP21 Double Cross. The show took place this past Saturday night, March 22nd at The Circus Studio. Normally, I don't do a recap unless this blogger was at the event. However, this recap is important in various ways.
The show began with a tribute to Masa Takanashi by playing his intro song. He took part in SETUP's very first show back in January 2020 and is a very familiar face to the fans in Thailand and throughout all of Asia.
Takanashi suffered an unfortunate neck injury a few days ago at a show in Japan. All of us who have read about, or know him, we're thinking, praying, and are hoping for the best. Our thought and prayers are with him at this time.
On to the show, this blogger heard, read and saw some clips. It was wild to say the least. A loud and boisterous crowd of 141 fans saw some great action. The second, third and fourth matches were a part of the Uprising Series which will give everyone some much needed experience.
The final three matches had some great action and also, very interesting endings. None of the SETUP Titles changed hands, but there were interesting developments that happened. This blogger wasn't there, but word does get back, especially from about 12,800 kilometers away...
There was a chair shot that ended one match.
There was a referee, for some reason, that stopped a count in a tag match. Heard some rumor going around that the referee was paid.
And then there was some interference from a wrestler who wasn't supposed to be at ringside. Not only that, he aligned with another wrestler after the match to become a group called the Real Global Threat. Am hearing that RGT want to take over the local wrestling industry.
This fan, while doing this post is supposed to be unbiased here. However, thanks to this blogger's regional wrestling hero, JDL, he stopped RGT before any further damage was done. This blogger hears that our regional wrestling hero will team up with Jonathan Johnson and have challenged RGT to a match scheduled this coming May.
AND.......if some things can be worked out back in America, this blogger WILL be visiting Thailand AND will be at the May show! I want to thank several fans who shared some insights with the show as well as sharing pics, reels and more. Also, thank you to SETUP Thailand Pro Wrestling, to Pumi, the staff, and to all the wrestlers and fans involved. It makes doing this post a whole lot easier to do.
Here are the results...
