Hello everyone.
Next month, in March, SETUP Thailand Pro Wrestling is doing a tournament as part of their show, EP:21 - Double Cross. The tournament is called the Uprising Series.
According to the SETUP Facebook page, the series has six wrestlers divided into two blocks, an A and a B block. Please check the Facebook page regarding how the tournament is going to be handled.
In the meantime, this blogger wants to promote the tournament and the wrestlers that are going to be involved. Since the blog gets new readers all the time, with Thailand being no exception, people may be unfamiliar with the participants.
Beginning with this post, this fan talk about one of the participants, Kru Pol. Before doing this, I wanted to be sure that I get permission from the participant. Also, before the post goes public, each participant will see the post for approval. Several of the participants I don't know as of yet so please be patient if you don't see then right away.
First off, Kru Pol has been great as far as contributing to this blog. He's mentioned several times that he reads posts whether it's SETUP or another promotion in Southeast Asia.
Kru Pol mentioned to this fan recently that he decided to begin training as a wrestler soon after attending Wrestlemania 39 in Hollywood in mid - 2023.
Moving forward, the first time I heard about Kru Pol before the SETUP EP18 show, Clash Of The Champions. Kru Pol, the teacher, and not yet wresting in shows, was part of a tag team group called St. John's Innocent College. Since this post, the blogger learned that Kru Pol actually was in the corner of the tag team group back in July 2023.
St. John's Innocent College and the current IWA Japan/SETUP Thailand tag team champions, The Good Deal, had some good matches. However, St. John's would encounter another team at the EP17 show in The Gym Bros.
What happened was in the show, there was a difference of opinion between members, Kevin Weng and Pondhub in the EP17 show, Bangkok Strong Style. Kru Pol, in their corner, saw what happened. As a result, there would be a match between the two in which Kru Pol, the teacher, would be a Special Referee.
What happened in that match was Pondhub would win in an unusual way (please see You Tube). It would eventually set up a Triple Threat Match in October at the EP19 Chaoparaya Voyage show. This would be Kru Pol's first match, I believe. He would come up victorious against Kevin Weng and Pondhub. It's something that any wrestler in their debut would cherish.
Since that time, Kru Pol has been involved in three more matches with the 20 person SETUP Rumble, a two on one handicap, and a fatal four way match. I've seen video since his first match and Kru Pol continues to improve each time. This fan sees that with all the young SETUP wrestlers.
Kru Pol has other interests as well. Though I didn't understand the words to the song that he sung around his birthday and children's day, the song meant volumes to everyone! He can definitely sing. And he's pretty good at being SaySci in videos too! Whenever this fan hears his walkup song when entering the ring, it's gives this fan chills.
Whoever the opponent is for Kru Pol's first singles match, this blogger knows he will do well. He's training and definitely he wants to improve and it's more than talk. Actions speak louder than words and he has proven that. Chatting with him on social media, he has the fire, just as everyone with SETUP. He has a great future, no question about it. The fans who pack The Circus Studio each time, I'm sure they feel the same way!
Here is the link to Kru Pol's first wrestling match last September. Please enjoy everyone!
