Dexcon's Next Events

Hello everyone.

 

Been a little while since the blogger has posted about Dexcon.  However, they've been a lot more busy that I have in preparing for their next event.  Also, this post may be a little lengthy, so please bear with me. 

 

For wrestling fans, especially in the Philippines, please make plans for the weekend of August 22-24 (Friday-Sunday).

 

It was announced per Dexcon that the event will kick off on Friday, August 22.  The event is the Manila debut of Baka Gaijin + Friends, a wild, must-see show featuring some of the most exciting and unpredictable wrestlers around.  The event will take place at The Social House in Circuit Makati, Ground Floor, Circuit Lane. 

 

Chris Brookes, no stranger to Dexcon and to pinoy wrestling fans, will be there for the event.

 

Speaking of Chris, the  DDT Pro KO-D Champion will be bringing an exciting wrestler with him by the name of Takeshi Masada to the three day event.  The event is in its very early stages so no opponents for them have yet to be named.  However, this fan knows that the opponents will be. more than worthy for the two mentioned.

 

Also, just a few days ago, it has been revealed that Dexcon has a new match maker.  Miguel Navarro, the match maker with World Underground Wrestling - Philippines, now has a dual role.  I'm sure we will hear from Miguel in the coming days about his new position.  And, maybe we will know more about a disappearance of the former match maker......

 

Tickets are not yet available for the three day weekend of August 22-24.  However, it may be a good idea to mark your calendars.  Knowing Dexcon like this fan does, they do not disappoint, and they won't disappoint this time either.  

 

If there are any questions, please visit the Dexcon - DXCN Facebook page.  Thank you everyone!    

SETUP's Jonathan Johnson in Japan

Hello everyone.

 

My apologies to SETUP, and to Jonathan Johnson on this being late.  Jonathan and Masahiro Takanashi will take on Chris Brookes and Munetatsu Nakamura in a ChocoPro Tag Team match tomorrow (Saturday).

 

This is kind of unusual to this blogger because Takanashi and Brookes are tag team partners (Calamari Drunken Kings).  That being said, this will be a good match for Jonathan.  Also, we will get to know a little more about Munetatsu Nakamura.  

 

According to sources, he's been wrestling in ring action for a little over two years now.  He is 23 years of age but has had a few matches under him with 123 going into this upcoming match.  He has wrestled both in singles and tag team competition.    

Dexcon Pro Wrestling

Hello everyone!

 

This blogger would like to give a shout out to a wrestling group based in the Philippines.  You may have heard about a group called Dexcon Pro Wrestling.

 

This may have been mentioned before on this blog.  The group has done everything to make pro wrestling in the Philippines and throughout Southeast Asia and Asia better for everyone!

 

Their first sponsored pro wrestling show was in August 2023.  This fan was very fortunate to attend it at the Brawl Pit Bulusan.  It featured wrestlers from the former Manila Wrestling Federation, World Underground Wrestling - Philippines and wrestlers from other countries such as Singapore, Japan and Thailand.  

 

In nearly two years, Dexcon has brought in wrestlers such as Alexis Lee, Poppy, Yuki Kamifuku, Kojio Akumu, CDK (Chris Brookes and Masa Takanashi), Shivam, AFAM Steve (aka Steve The Teacher), Jonathan Johnson, Monomoth and The Horrors just to name a few.

 

In March, Dexcon will have their next show and the group has really come up with a find.  Yoshi Tatsu, legendary Japanese wrestler with DDT, NJPW and a brief stint in the WWE will appear.  Who knows what Dexcon will come up with next.  Within 24 hours after the announcement, general admission tickets for the event were sold out!

 

Thank you to the staff at Dexcon for all you've done in the Philippines and throughout Asia.  One day, this blogger hopes to see another Dexcon event.  The first one at the Brawl Pit Bulusan was entertaining and wild!

 

Here's the link to Dexcon if anyone is interested in their shows past, present and future!  Thank you.

Masahiro Takanashi

From left to right, Chris Brookes, not sure who the lady is, Chris Brookes and Jake De Leon at the Meet And Greet prior to the Dexcon Wrestle Storm show.
 

 

In doing this post, I'm thinking of everyone who has been affected by Typhoon Carina that hit the Philippines over the past few hours.  My thoughts and prayers are with everyone at this time.

 

I've wanted to do a post on someone who has helped Southeast Asian wrestling over the years.  Tajiri is the first to come to mind.  Before doing one on Tajiri, my second choice, Masahiro Takanashi came to mind as well.

 

Masahiro Takanashi is a wrestler who works for the DDT Pro Wrestling promotion.  The 41 year old veteran has wrestled mostly in Japan.  However, he has also wrestled in the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand among Southeast Asian countries.

 

The two things that blew me away was the fact that he's won a combination 16 titles in his career.  Definitely impressive!

 

Also, if Cagematch is correct with the statistics, Masahiro Takanashi has wrestled in 2374 matches!  That is impressive considering he has wrestled since 2003.  Despite the years missed due to covid, he has averages over 100 matches per year or once every four days.  Any wrestler who has done that has to be durable.

 

This blogger talked with some fans who were at the Dexcon Wrestle Storm show earlier this year.  Takanashi along with Chris Brookes were the featured match in the show.  They took on a very quality team in Jake De Leon and Dabid Ravena.  It was a weekend to remember for Pinoy Wrestling fans. 

Dexcon Wrestle Storm Update #2

Wrestle Storm Update

Dexcon's event, Wrestle Storm, will take place the weekend of Saturday/Sunday, March 23-24th.

 

Matchmaker, Linus Santos, who is becoming one of the top matchmakers in the region, has come up with another tag team match for the March 24th show!

 

The team of Oro Plata Mata (MWF Pinoy Wrestling Champion, Jake De Leon and teammate, Dabid Ravena) will face the Calamari Drunken Kings (Chris Brookes and Masahiro Takanashi) in the second of two tag matches.

 

CDK as they are known, and as of this post, are the SPW Southeast Asia Tag Team Champions.  The team has wrestled throughout portions of Southeast Asia and has been a team to reckon with.

 

This is not to sell Oro Plata Mata short.  The Pinoy Wrestling fans, particularly at Manila Wrestling Federation shows know the capability of Jake De Leon and Dabid Ravena.  They are excellent singles wrestlers.  I've been told by sources that the two have tagged on occasions.  If I were CDK, this is a team not to be overlooked.

 

The other tag team match is for the WUW International Tag Team Championship.  TZK (Saint John Martin and Ken Cifer) will put the titles on the line against reunited Gemini Kings (ROMEO and Main Maxx).

 

There will be a Meet and Greet on Saturday, March 23rd at 12 noon at Unbox Greenhills.  The wrestling show will take place on Sunday, March 24th at Brawl Pit Bulusan in Quezon City at 6pm.

 

For more information on the show and tickets, please check the Dexcon page on Facebook!  Tickets are going well.       

Update On The Dexcon Event

 

CDK will be coming to the Philippines next March!

I've decided to paste the rest of the information so here is the scoop listed below.

The Calamari Drunken Kings (composed of Chris Brookes and Masa Takanashi) will be crashing the party and making their Philippine debut this March 24, 2024 at Brawl Pit Bulusan in Quezon City for WrestleStorm!

Chris Brookes (DDT Pro Wrestling) is a former KO-D Openweight champion and former two-time DDT Universal Champion.

Masahiro Takanashi (DDT Pro Wrestling) has held titles such as the DDT Extreme Championship and DDT Universal Championship to name a few. Masa-san is coming back to Manila after his first appearance in the country back in 2019.

The current SETUP Thailand Pro Wrestling Tag Team Champions have traveled all over Asia to face the best the country has to offer. Now one question remains.. who is ready to step up to the challenge?!
