One match has been added for Filipino Pro Wrestling's show, FPW Astig. The event will take place on Sunday, July 13th, 2pm at the Baked Studios in Makati City.
In the fourth and final Metro Manila Championship Qualifier match, Thiago will be taking on Mharckie in what should be one exciting encounter.
For tickets and more information regarding the upcoming show, please visit the FPW - Filipino Pro Wrestling Facebook page. Thank you.
FPW Astig's next show is scheduled for Sunday, July 13th at the Baked Studios in Makati City beginning at 2pm.
One additional match has been added to the show. The Punk Rock Maiden, Robynn, will be taking on SIGMA's Jason Rex in a one-on-one qualifying match. It's for the inaugural Metro Manila Championship that was just announced a few days ago. This fan knows that Robynn will have their hands full. However, becoming the inaugural champion of any kind is an incentive for anyone on the FPW roster.
The matches signed for the upcoming show are one, if not the best that Filipino Pro Wrestling has put together since the promotion began in September 2022. For tickets to the event and more information, please visit the FPW - Filipino Pro Wrestling Facebook page. Thank you.
FPW Astig's next show will take place on Sunday, July 13th, Baked Studios in Makati City beginning at 2pm.
There have been a couple of matches and an announcement made since the last post.
First, Filipino Pro Wrestling has announced a new championship called the FPW Metro Manila Championship. There will be several qualifying matches to determine the inaugural champion.
The first qualifying match announced will feature the "Best Pure Wrestler" Ralph Imabayashi against The "King Of Pinoy Strong Style" Rex Lawin. I don't know if this blogger mentioned this before, but it's great to see Rex Lawin back in the ring.
Also, "The Duke Of Shoot" Duke Ortega will take on Proximo in another qualifying match.
For tickets and more information on the upcoming show, please visit the FPW - Filipino Pro Wrestling Facebook page. Thank you.
Filipino Pro Wrestling's next show, FPW Astig will take place on Sunday, July 13th, Baked Studios beginning at 2pm.
Since the last post, one match has been added to the show. The Yolo Twins, in this fan's opinion as the best tag team in Southeast Asia, will have their hands full on this day. They will take on Grapplemax Pro Wrestling Singapore's Big Dave and Julian Creed. I believe for both wrestlers, this will be the first time in an FPW event.
Both wrestlers are very experienced in the ring. Big Dave was the first Grapplemax singles champion with the promotion.

FPW Astig's next show will take place on Sunday, July 13th, 2pm at the Baked Studios in Makati City.
Wrestling fans know that a new FPW Champion will be crowned in one match that afternoon/evening. There is one other match that has been just announced.
SPD from Grapplemax Pro Wrestling Singapore will return to the Philippines to wrestle Cali Nueva in a singles match in what will be a very good encounter.

Pro wrestling has been something I've followed since The Stone Ages (just kidding). Actually, it's something I've followed going back to The Territory Era.
Each promotion that this fan has followed over the years, and different wrestling eras, has their peaks and valleys in popularity. Also, each promotion has their champions, mid card type wrestlers and something that is known as jobbers.
When I think of a "jobber", the first wrestler that always comes to mind was WWE's The Brooklyn Brawler. Any time this fan watched him perform on television, and once at the Cow Palace at a WWE show, he would have his moments in a match. However, the fans knew he would come up just short of a victory.
This morning, when waking up, I saw this post regarding Filipino Pro Wrestling's, Dax Xaviera (see pic above). This blogger had a chance to meet, and to interview Dax back in August 2023. Like all the interviews done on this blog, Dax, like every wrestler that have been interviewed, has been cordial, professional and great to talk with. I've purchased wrestling shirts from him in the past, and hopefully later this year when I'm back in the Philippines. They are one of quality. I recommend to all wrestling fans, especially in the Philippines, to check out Dax Clothing on Facebook and other social media sites!
Personally, I don't believe Dax is in the category of "a jobber." Hopefully, this post is not to portray that he is. This fan saw Dax in a match against Sam Baltazar in August 2023 at FPW Astig. The match, like all the matches at the show, were one of quality. The fans who were there at the PMC Spotlight Theater that Sunday afternoon did see quality, entertaining and exciting wrestling.
Dax's track record speaks for itself. He wrestled for a another promotion, PWR, prior to when Filipino Pro Wrestling was formed following the covid pandemic. He did very well in matches for the promotion and was a champion there.
Yes, the chart showing his record may not look good. However, there is, as they say, light at the end of the tunnel. Fans at the Baked Studios will definitely see his hand raised in the near future, maybe as early as July 13th. That is not a prediction.

Hello everyone!
Congratulations to Filipino Pro Wrestling on another great show, Secret Show At The Secret Place 3, last Sunday in Quezon City.
On a weekend where there was a lot of wrestling in Metro Manila, FPW provided the fans with entertainment, excitement and wrestling per the messages this fan has received. The 2F Kowloon House appeared to be sold out and certainly, it had the excitement and enthusiasm that pro wrestling in PH and throughout the Southeast Asia region is experiencing.
What's next? Well, next month, FPW will return with FPW Astig at the Baked House in Makati City. The date is Sunday, July 13th at 2pm. If you haven't read the most recent post, the FPW Wrestling Championship has been vacated by Jeff Cobb. Cobb is now at WWE and under another name.
Right now, the match for the coveted belt has not been named yet. However, Quatro is definitely the number one contender and, in this fan's opinion, is one of the wrestlers that deserves to be in this match. From videos, he looks as good as ever in the ring.
For tickets and for more information, please visit the FPW - Filipino Pro Wrestling Facebook page. Thank you.
Received word from the two FPW Facebook pages that the FPW Title that was held by former NJPW, now WWE star, Jeff Cobb, has now been vacated.
As of right now, Quatro is the number one contender for the title per matches early this year. The question is who will be his opponent?
For tickets and more information to the upcoming FPW Astig show, please visit the FPW - Filipino Pro Wrestling page. The event will take place on Sunday, July 13th, 2pm at the Baked Studios in Makati City.
Thank you.

Jason Rex with LegenDarius after their tag win last year.
Hello everyone.
There was a lot going on at Filipino Pro Wrestling's FPW Astig show this past Sunday.
There was the attack on Robynn by The Yolo Twins before the match ever started. There was the Rex Lawin debut as well as the return to action by Mharckie by around a year.
There was also another debut fro a young wrestler, Joshua, and a comedian who looked like a Guerrero with a frog splash. Then there is SIGMA.
The faction of LegenDarius, Jason Rex and AB3 are definitely going to be something to be heard from in pinoy wrestling annals. However, yesterday was not exactly what the group had in mind.
LegenDarius looked like he was about to take care of James "Idol" Martinez and pick up his first win as a singles wrestler. Unfortunately, Martinez came up a clever idea of using a balloon, late in the match. That distracted him which led Martinez to cleverly get him into a small package and pin.
LegenDarius didn't take these things very lightly. Apparently, Jason Rex didn't spike Martinez when he was told to. Then, there was the scolding of AB3 in the middle of the ring before a huge crowd at the Baked Studios. AB3 and Jason Rex accepted things well after all was said and done.
Also, there was the match between AB3 and Dax Xaviera. It appeared from the reels that AB3 was getting the better of things. Somehow, Dax somehow got AB3 into a Boston Crab situation. Jason Rex, AB3's second, stepped into the ring and clothes lined Dax. The referee saw this and DQd AB3 giving Dax the win. It was his first victory in quite awhile.
After a strong showing a couple of weeks ago, then a disappointing day for SIGMA. Days like this happen to the best.
However, the wrestling fans at the Baked Studios know their wrestling and they know the group will be back. Let's hope so!
Here are the results from Filipino Pro Wrestling's show, FPW Astig. The event took place on Sunday, March 23rd at the Baked Studios in Makati City before a boisterous crowd.
There were some surprises. Mharkie returned to action after a serious injury that kept him away for nearly a year. Joshua (from the FPW Academy) made his FPW debut in a tag match with Thiago against The Yolo Twins. Rex Lawin has returned to Pinoy wrestling and making his FPW debut.
James "Idol" Martinez d. LegenDarius.
Cali Nueva d. Duke Ortega.
Dax Xaviera d. AB3 by DQ
Mharkie d. Ralph Imabayashi.
Yolo Twins d. Thiago and Joshua (debut).
Rex Lawin d. Sam Baltazar.
Quatro d. Robynn.
Chino Guinto d. Mike Madrigal.
Quatro d. Chino Guinto and is now the #1 contender for the FPW Title held by Jeff Cobb.
It was announced earlier today that there will be an FPW Championship #1 Contender Tournament for the FPW Championship held by Jeff Cobb.
The two matches are Quatro vs. Robynn and Chino Quinto vs. Mike Madrigal.
Here is the rest of the lineup of matches for this Sunday's show at the Baked Studios in Makati City, PH. The show begins at 2pm.
James IDOL Martinez vs. LegenDarius w/Jason Rex.
Cali Nueva vs. Duke Ortega.
AB3 vs. Dax Xaviera.
Also, The Yolo Twins have an open challenge, Ralph Imabayashi, Sam Baltazar and Thiago will be in action. Also, I believe that Jason Rex will be in action but that is unofficial as of this post.

FPW's Astig show will take place on Sunday, March 23rd at the Baked Studios beginning at 2pm in Makati City.
FPW President, Red Ollero, has a very difficult decision to make as to who is the #1 contender for the FPW Title that is held by Jeff Cobb. For those fans who have been under a rock during the past week, we don't even know where Jeff Cobb is going. There have been reports that he is WWE bound according to some sources. The last time this fan checked, he is still wrestling with NJPW. Go figure!
Regarding the four wrestlers who claim to be the number one contender for the upcoming FPW Championship (whenever that will be), there are at least four scenarios to go about it. Certainly, the FPW fans are probably tired of all the stuff that is on the page every few days. Since I'm not a match maker, here are the possible scenarios........
1) President Red Ollero selects the number one contender.
2) Have a fan poll taken to decide the number one contender. At this point with less than one week away, the number two idea is really useless!
3). Have a tournament to decide the number one contender. That would be three matches for the show. Since there are three or four other matches that are scheduled already, having a tournament will make for a great show.
4) And this is, by far, the worst one, and that it make no decision before Sunday and keep everyone guessing.
It will be interesting to see what may or may not happen before Sunday, March 23rd. Tickets are still available. Please visit the FPW - Filipino Pro Wrestling Facebook page for more. Thank you.
FPW Astig's March show will take place on Sunday, March 22nd at Baked Studios in Makati City beginning at 2pm.
As mentioned earlier, this fan said that the Gym Bro, Thiago would be in action at the upcoming show. It is now official. His opponent is yet to be determined. Sources tell us that he's feeling uneasy with his alliances, especially to FPW President, Red Ollero. Hopefully, Thiago will begin 2025 on a strong footing after a bad finish to last year.
Tickets are still available. Please visit the FPW - Filipino Pro Wrestling Facebook page for more information. Thank you.
Filipino Pro Wrestling's Robynn will be in action during the upcoming FPW Astig show. The event will take place on Sunday, March 23rd at the Baked Studios, Makati City, beginning at 2pm.
As the FPW fans know, Robynn was to face, then FPW Champion, Mike Madrigal last year for the FPW title. A few days before the match, Robynn was injured and was unable to compete.
Since then, she has come back from the injury, and better than ever. Who will Robynn face?
For tickets, and more information, please visit the FPW - Filipino Pro Wrestling Facebook page.
Soon, this blogger will provide some information regarding the upcoming show. Thank you.
Filipino Pro Wrestling announced one (and maybe two more) wrestlers will be present at the FPW Astig show. The event will take place on Sunday, March 23rd, Baked Studios, Makati City beginning at 2pm.
Chino Guinto will be in action against an opponent yet to be named. Chino was undefeated in FPW shows during the 2024 season. Will the unbeaten streak continue in 2025?
Also, and this is unofficial until getting confirmation, but the Gym Bro, Thiago will be in action as well. His opponent is to be determined.
For tickets, and more information, please visit the FPW - Filipino Pro Wrestling Facebook page. Thank you.
Filipino Pro Wrestling's March Astig show has added another match. FPW Astig will take place at the Baked Studios on Sunday, March 23rd beginning at 2pm.
"Playtime" James "Idol" Martinez will be going one on one with LegenDarius The Great with Jason Rex in his corner.
This will be Martinez's first in ring appearance since last October. Sometimes, a layoff is good for any wrestler. Back in the last 2024 show, Martinez defeated Outback Adam. Some fans thought that might have been an upset win but Martinez had an improving 2024 season. As they say, a win is a win!
For LegenDarius The Great, he's coming off his first singles match, and a Main Eventer, against Cali Nueva. Though it may have not been what LegenDarius hoped for, even Calif Nueva was impressed of his first singles competition. With Jason Rex guiding him in the corner, this may be a difference in "The Great One" getting the W.

There have been a couple of announcements by FPW since the last post a couple of days ago. Here are the mentions.
The Yolo Twins have issued an open challenge to any tag team, I'm taking it, in FPW. It's been mentioned to this blogger that SIGMA's AB3, Jason Rex and LegenDarius, may not be available because they are busy that afternoon and evening. However, one never knows in this era of professional wrestling what might happen!
Also, Quatro will be in action against an opponent yet to be named. Quatro is currently the number one contender for the FPW Title that is currently held by Jeff Cobb.
