Dexcon WrestleStorm 2 Results

Hello everyone.

 

Here are the results from Dexcon's WrestleStorm 2 held on Sunday night, March 16th.  The show took place at the Brawl Pit Bulusan in Quezon City, Philippines before another sellout and boisterous crowd!

 

Congratulations to Dexcon, to Linus, Miguel and the staff for putting on another great show.  It looked like someone was enjoying things by dancing to some great music outside, and another, since it was 3-16 (Stone Cold Steve Austin Day), got stunned right in the middle of the ring!

 

On a more serious note, thank you to Dr. Gore (Singapore), Best Bros (Japan) and Yoshi Tatsu (Japan) for making the weekend greater.  I'm certain that Dexcon and the Pinoy wrestling fans want to see all of you return to the Philippines soon.

 

Congratulations to Main Maxx in making his first defense of the Pusong Pinoy Wrestling Championship against a major SEA Pro Wrestling star in Dr. Gore of SPW.  

 

Also, congratulations to Dabid Ravena and Aaron Liwanag in becoming the new World Underground Wrestling Tag Team Champions!  

 

Dabid and Aaron are the seventh tag team, and second Filipino tag team to win the titles going back to November 2022 when the titles were established in Japan.  Also, both wrestlers are wearing gold for the first time in their careers!

 

Here are the results......

Yoshi Tatsu and Jake De Leon d. Fabio Makisig and Jomar.

Robin Sane d. Isaiah Valencia.

Aaron Liwanag and Dabid Ravena d. TZK (Ken Cifer and St. John Martin) (c) and are the new World Underfround Wrestling Tag Team Champions.

WUW Philippines Feature - TZK

Hello everyone.

 

Continuing with Tag Teams throughout Southeast Asia, there is one tag team that this blogger witnessed in December 2023.

 

TZK (Turn Zero Kill) is a tag team that wrestles with World Underground Wrestling - Philippines.  The team of Ken Cifer and St. John Martin are a powerful team with good wrestling skills.

 

Both wrestlers began their careers with WUW - Philippines and wrestled in the promotion's first event back in October 2019.  The event, WUW PH - Dojo Storm took place at the Brawl Pit Bulusan, its home today.  WUW PH shares its home with PUSO Wrestling, the newest promotion in the Philippines along with Dexcon events.

 

Cifer and Martin wrestled in singles matches in the first show and would continue on through this point.  Also, they would wrestle with the, now defunct, Manila Wrestling Federation until the promotion ended in May 2024.  Besides WUW PH, they are also on the PUSO Wrestling roster.

 

TZK would win the World Underground Wrestling Tag Team Championship in December 2023.  The MWF Noche Buena show was likely the biggest show the company had following the Covid epidemic.  A sellout crowd saw the show at the Power Mac Spotlight Center.  The win began a streak of over 450 days of having the belts.

 

During the streak, there was a added stipulation (somewhat like the Freebird Rule or more recently, The New Day).  In one of their tag matches, a newer wrestler by the name of Silent D subbed for Saint John Martin in a no disqualification match.  That wouldn't make any difference since TZK went on to win the match.

 

Turn Zero Kill has made five successful defenses of the title, all in the Philippines.  They have been against good quality teams.  I believe the Gemini Kings (Romeo and Main Maxx) along with the two wrestlers from Kyushi Pro Wrestling in Japan were very stiff competition.  Also, their 450+ days and five title defenses of the title are the most since the title was established in 2022!

 

Their next defense of the title will be this coming Sunday at the WrestleStorm 2 show put on by Dexcon at the Brawl Pit Bulusan.

 

Aaron Liwanag and Dabid Ravena are two strong wrestlers that are hungry for a championship.  This could very well be TZK's biggest test.  They have not teamed together to this blogger's knowledge but anything can happen.  Both are strong singles wrestlers that potentially can be a great tag team.

 

The fans who will be at the Brawl Pit Bulusan and will watch on Triller TV eventually will find out the outcome.  It should be a good one.

Wrestlstorm 2 Show Update #7

Hello everyone.

 

With a little over one week to go, Dexcon's WrestleStorm 2 will take place on Sunday, March 16th beginning at 6pm at the Brawl Pit Bulusan in Quezon City, Philippines.

 

Here is the match card per the Dexcon - DXCN Facebook page.

 

1. International Dream Match: Best Bros vs. The Superfriends.

 

2. International Dream Match: Yoshi Tatsu / Jake De Leon vs. Sons of Tajiri (Fabio Makisig/ Jomar).

 

3. Pusong Pinoy Championship Match: Main Maxx vs. Dr. Gore.

 

4. WUW Tag Titles - TZK (Ken Cifer & St. John Martin) vs. Dabid Ravena & Aaron Liwanag  (Loser CANNOT challenge for the belts again).

 

5. Joya vs. Patricia Ligaia.

 

6. Robin Sane vs. Isaiah Valencia.

 

 

It will be a very interesting show with three International Dream Matches and two title matches.  However, this blogger believes that something else may be brewing on this evening......

 

Tickets to the event are still available.  Please visit the Dexcon - DXCN Facebook page for more information.  Thank you.

World Underground Wrestling Tag Team Match

Hello everyone.

 

After the last post regarding a match that was added for WrestleStorm 2, this blogger needs to share and report the match in a more professional way.  The other stuff that is going on is a distraction.

 

For those that don't know what I'm talking about, a WUW - Philippines Tag Team Championship match has been added for the WrestleStorm 2 show on Sunday, March 16th.  The venue is the Brawl Pit Bulusan in Quezon City beginning at 6pm. 

 

The reason doing this is the respect this fan has for all four competitors in the WUW Tag Team Championship Match.  Also, it is, I believe, what the fans want to read.  So to the fans, and wrestlers who read the last post, bloggers aren't perfect and they do make mistakes.  Just ask my writing hero, Bill Apter who's the guru for Pro Wrestling Illustrated. This blogger would much rather follow how he writes posts rather than the one who rates matches with stars.....if you know what I mean.   

 

Beginning with TZK in St. John Martin and Ken Cifer, there is quite a bit to share here.  The team won the World Underground Wrestling Tag Team Titles in December 2023 at the PMC Spotlight Theater.  It was a historical night of pro wrestling action in Circuit Makati.

 

TZK has defended the titles at least four times and have taken on all comers.  As of this post, TZK has held the titles for 442 days and counting.  Some people might say that they haven't defended it enough.  

 

Pro wrestling is a little different in Southeast Asia compared to America and not in a bad way.  To the fans are reading this for the first time, independent promotions in America hold their shows about the same amount of time.  Mark my words folks.  A promotion not far from where I live, Big Time Wrestling in Newark has four to five shows a year.  Check it out!

 

The upcoming match between TZK versus Dabid Ravena and Aaron Liwanag is not exactly going to be a pushover in any way.  This blogger has seen both Dabid and Aaron in action several times live.  Both wrestlers are definitely hungry for any kind of title.  Dabid Ravena was very close to winning a title in the December 2023 Noche Buena MWF  event.  Aaron Liwanag was in the PUSO Wrestling Championship Tournament final this last November.  Definitely the challengers smell gold, have everything to gain, and nothing to lose.

 

This will definitely be one banger of a match........guaranteed!

WrestleStorm 2 Update #4

Hello everyone.

 

Things are getting interesting in Quezon City and at the Brawl Pit Bulusan.

 

Dexcon Match Maker - Linus Santos has pulled a fast one (or has he?) on WUW - Philippines Match Maker - Miguel Navarro.

 

The WUW Philippines Tag Team Champions, TZK (St. John Martin and Ken Cifer) said that they would defend their tag team championships at WrestleStorm 2.  

 

Linus had been absent over the past few days when two matches were made, courtesy of Miguel.  All of the sudden, on Valentine's Day, no less, TZK's biggest test has been announced.

 

There was an apparent proposal, according to Linus from Mr. Sy.  TZK's opponent will be Dabid Ravena and Aaron Liwanag from PUSO Wrestling.  

 

Despite Linus continuing to talk about Lakers GM, Rob Pelinka, who knows nothing about pro wrestling by the way, this fan will say this.  Linus did come up with a great opponent for the champions.  This blogger has the utmost respect for Ravena and Liwanag.  They are strong, tough, and can defeat anyone at anytime.  However, this is the first time that they've teamed up together so this match should be a banger!

 

This blogger has been told that the other matches that Match Maker - Miguel made this week will stay intact (for the moment anyway....).  This blogger will find out what the proposal is, eventually.

 

For tickets, and there are some left, please visit the Dexcon - DXCN Facebook page.  Thank you.

The Main Maxx Era Has Begun

  

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHJOX08i4ks

 

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.

Puso Wrestling's Next Show

Hello everyone!  Apologies for not posting lately.

 

PUSO Wrestling's next show, Pusong Pinoy, will take place on Saturday, November 30th.  The venue is once again the Brawl Pit Bulusan in Quezon City beginning at 6pm.  Here is what is happening.

 

The finals for the inaugural Pusong Pinoy Wrestling Championship will be decided that evening.  Aaron Liwanag will take on Main Maxx in what will be a banger of a match!  Both wrestlers are undefeated since PUSO Wrestling began last summer.  Aaron Liwanag will be battling for his first championship while Main Maxx will battle for his first championship in several years.

 

In other matches signed,  Dabid Ravena and Kurt Jiminez, returning to action, will face Nigel San Jose and Fabio Makisig, returning to action.  Ravena and Jiminez are part of the revival group, MSG led by Mr. Sy along with the Pinay Vixen, Chelsea Marie.  Nigel San Jose and Fabio Makisig have teamed up before in tag team action and will prove a huge test, and revenge, against the MSG team.

 

There will also be a Pwersang Pinay Gauntlet match involving Crystal, Chelsea Marie, Joya, Super P., Patricia Ligaia, Roxxy from Wrestlefest DXB (Dubai) and a wrestler yet to be named.  Yappy will be the special guest referee for the match.

 

In a three way, Mr. Philippine Wrestling's, Jake De Leon will take on Shaheen from Wrestlefest DXB and Shigehiro Irie from Japan in a huge encounter.

 

Also, Isaiah Valencia will take on Jomar in singles action.

 

In a four way for the #1 contender for the Pusong Pinoy Wrestling Championship, it will be Danny Zamora vs. Joey Rosas vs. Ken Cifer vs. El Kapitunero.  The winner of this match will get a title shot at whoever is the champion.

 

Finally, there will be a tag match between Hakai Mateo and Alien Friend vs. Serafin Liwanag and Kapatid na ???.  The stipulation is this per General Manager, Sonny Go.  If Hakai Mateo and Alien Friend win the match, Serafin Liwanag and Kapatid na ??? will be barred from ringside during the Pusong Pinoy Championship Match.

For more information on the show, scheduled for Sunday, April 14th at the UP Film Institute Media Center, please check the Manila Wrestling Federation - MWF page on Facebook.  Also, tickets are still available through the ticket2me.net website!  Thank you.

MWF: Noche Buena Update #3

Two more matches have been added to the MWF: Noche Buena show scheduled for Sunday, December 3rd.  The venue is at the PMC Spotlight Theater, Circuit Makati beginning at 4:30pm.  Doors open at 4pm.

 

There will be a #1 Contender's match for the MWF Pinoy Wrestling Championship.  "Danger" Rex Lawin will take on Hong Kong's Ho Ho Lun.

 

This is Rex Lawin's biggest opportunity in coveting the MWF title.  One would probably have to go back as far as October 2018.  The new MWF title would have its first champion in December.  Rex reached as far as the semi final round of a tournament to decide a new champion.  In December, he will be in a similar position.

 

For Ho Ho Lun, he was the second MWF Champion. The Hong Kong Pro Wrestling star won the title at MWF Republika in 2019 and actually never lost the belt due to a pin or submission.  Because of the pandemic, the MWF title was vacated when the pandemic eased.  Ho Ho Lun is now getting his opportunity in getting the title back.

 

Also, in another match, Brother Jomar Liwanag will take on Aaron Liwanag.  The winner of the match will be the leader of Bahay Ng Liwanag.

 

There will be a clarification if both matches are done by Manila Rules.  Also, there will be some updates on additional matches.

 

Tickets are going well for the show.  Please continue to check the Manila Wrestling Federation - MWF page regarding tickets and any updated news.  Thanks everyone!
