Revisiting SIGMA

 

 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!

Interview #20 - Filipino Pro Wrestling's AB3

Hello everyone.

 

As some of you may know, this blogger has been fortunate in interviews.  Getting a chance to do one is something that this blogger loves.  However, the fans and perhaps, other wrestlers really enjoy it as well.

 

Over this past winter, and since the blog started, I've been lucky, and fortunate, to interview several members with Filipino Pro Wrestling.  Two of the members are with the faction, SIGMA in LegenDarius and Jason Rex.

 

Knowing that the 2025 wrestling season is upon us, it is definitely, more than fitting, to interview the third member of SIGMA in AB3.

 

AB3, in my opinion, has been a successful wrestler in a previous promotion, PWR, both as a singles and tag team wrestler.  Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to see him during my only show in August 2023.

 

However, about five months later, he did return to action.  The turning point in his career happened in the final 2024 show in October.  AB3, after a match as part of a tag team, joined forces with LegenDarius and Jason Rex.  Not only it made AB3 better, but the faction, SIGMA, and FPW.  The feeling, and it's a strong one, is that SIGMA is putting FPW, as well as, Pinoy Wrestling, on notice in 2025 and beyond!  As an opponent, I don't believe they are comfortable seeing AB3 opposite them.  He's strong and agile.  That is for starters.  Now, he's part of a faction.

 

Recently, this blogger shared a few questions with AB3.  Here is how the interview went.  Hope all of you enjoy it. 

 

Wayne -  When did you begin to train as a pro wrestler and who was your trainer? 

 

AB3 - I started training around 2015. During that time I have had several trainers in PWR, and amazing trainers in FPW but in all the times that I have been training, no one have trained my mind and soul better than LegenDarius. PWR allowed me to start walking while FPW allowed me to start running but LegenDarius have allowed me to fly. 

 

Wayne -  Who is your favorite wrestling promotion or promotions? 

 

AB3 - WWE. They are probably the BEST mainstream wrestling promotion. I see them being better than AEW by a mile. 

 

Wayne - What are your thoughts on the group SIGMA and your teammates Jason Rex and LegenDarius? 

 

AB3 -  SIGMA and LegenDarius has changed my point of view in life for the better. Thanks to him I am now living a nicer life. All his teachings have pivoted me to a life is greater than those who do not follow the SIGMA lifestyle. I am now certain that choosing the SIGMA lifestyle and following LegenDarius is the right decision. Jason Rex is nice. 

 

Wayne - What are your thoughts on pro wrestling now and it's future in the Philippines? 

 

AB3 - Pro wrestling in the Philippines has been in the country for quite a while now with lots of regular fans but we have not yet reached the point of being mainstream. With LegenDarius now in FPW I can see a very bright future for Pro Wrestling in the Philippines.

 

Thank you so much AB3.  All the best to you, LegenDarius and Jason Rex this year and beyond!

 

Soon, we will have another interview with one of your favorite wrestlers, fans and/or other people in the pro wrestling world.  Please check back soon!

FPW Astig March Show Update #6


Hello everyone.

 

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.

For tickets and more information, please visit the FPW - Filipino Pro Wrestling Facebook page.  Thank you.

FPW March Astig Show Update #3


Hello everyone.

 

Filipino Pro Wrestling's next show, FPW Astig, will take place on Sunday, March 23rd at 2pm at the Baked Studios in Makati City.

 

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.

 

For tickets, and more information, please visit the FPW - Filipino Pro Wrestling Facebook page.  Thank you.

Interview #18 - Nashokur

Nashokur at an FPW workout.  Thank you to Nashokur for allowing us to share the photo.

 

 

Hello everyone!

 

The next interview is one that this blogger has looked forward to.  For the first time since doing this blog, the interview is with a trainee.  He is not just a normal trainee either.

 

The trainee going by the name of Nashokur is training to be a wrestler with Filipino Pro Wrestling in the Philippines.  At my first FPW show back in August 2023, Nashokur along with LegenDarius, and several other staff members, welcomed me to the show.  It was a very warm feeling for someone who was very new to the pro wrestling scene in Southeast Asia.  This blogger will never forget that day as I did with two other Philippine wrestling promotions and  shows.

 

The blogger has been following some of Nashokur's journey in his future as a professional wrestler on social media.  When approaching me and wanting to do this interview, you can say that this fan was, more than excited.  Without going further, here is the interview that took place recently.

 

Wayne:  When did you begin to follow wrestling?

 

Nashokur:  It was on 2011, Where CM Punk is at the top of the wrestling world. The first WWE event i've watched is Money In The Bank 2011 on TV while my brother is watching it and got into it immediately. I stopped watching time to time due to other things, But pro wrestling is still one of my favorite things that keeps me engaged~

 

Wayne:  When did you actually start training with FPW?

 

Nashokur:  On February 4, 2023, Before FPW Astig began. From the FPW Academy Batch 1#, Where i'm with some already graduated FPW wrestlers right now, Which are Proximo, Roxy Reeves and LegenDarius.

 

Wayne:  Knowing that the training is going well, what has been the easiest and hardest part of your workouts?  

 

Nashokur:  The first days joining FPW Academy was tough and tiring. But eventually if you consistenly training in FPW and outside FPW, You'll get used to it and easier to learn things in the ring. Right now, The hardest thing to work on is being confident in the ring by shouting out something in your mind to the crowd, Basically a character. Probably one of the reasons that i'm not ready being out there yet, Which is totally fine, But that time will come soon~.

 

Wayne:  What are your thoughts of Mike (Madrigal), Ralph (Imabayashi) and those training you?

 

Nashokur:  The coaches, the wrestlers and the newer trainees are very welcoming and friendly as you met them~. Mike Madrigal is the first wrestler that i'm a fan with in PWR days on 2017, Knowing him and training with him is such a huge honoured to have. I wasn't a fan of Ralph Imabayashi the first time i saw him in PWR, But eventually i have a huge respect for him, He was the main coach in the Academy before Mike. I've learned a lot from them all those 2 years being in FPW, Not just being in the pro wrestling industry but also outside things that effect your daily life for the better. All of them in FPW are like my best friends now~

 

Wayne:  Your thoughts on FPW and its future.  

 

Nashokur:  The future for FPW will get even more brighter, By seeing or watched the latest FPW's 1st Secret Show event recently by the new announcer, The new referee, The graduated wrestlers and planning for FPW to be bigger than before will be amazing!. And me being part of it, No matter what roles i'm in, I'm always honoured, grateful and a fun ride in that journey and hope everyone in FPW don't quit and make our dreams come true, And also the fans are very supporting consistenly even with or without a show for a few months is such a blessing to have, Especially in the Philippines which is awesome!~

 

 

Nashokur, thank you so much for doing this.  All the best as your training continues.  Hopefully, on this fan's next visit to the Philippines, we'll get to see you in a match at an FPW Astig show.

FPW Secret Show Success!


Hello everyone.

 

Sunday's Filipino Pro Wrestling's show, Secret Show At The Secret Place was, undoubtedly, a huge success!  A sellout crowd of over 100 fans filled the 2F Kowloon House in Quezon City.  They were loud, enthusiastic and definitely were ready for the event!

 

Honestly, I don't know the results, but do know several things.

 

LegenDarius The Great did make his singles debut against  and Cali Nueva.  He cut a promo to the world of pro wrestling knows that he was in the main event and that SIGMA will be around for years to come!

 

Ralph Imabayashi wrestled in what is the 10th anniversary of his first wrestling match in the Philippines.  Congratulations Ralph on the milestone!

 

Giga Herrera, a Filipino-American wrestler was in a match against the Gym Bro, Thiago.  Giga wrestles for a promotion east of this blogger in California known as Total Wrestling Federation.  Giga, without getting into trouble here, was a very busy person this past weekend!  Thank you Giga on the visit.  The FPW fans, I'm sure, appreciated the visit and you taking part in the show!

 

Also, it is announced on FPW - Filipino Pro Wrestling of the following statement.

 

FPW President, Red Ollero will settle the score on who will be the UNDISPUTED #1 contender to the FPW Championship!

Two More Wrestlers Added For The Secret Show



Hello everyone.

 

Two more wrestlers have been added for FPW's Secret Show at The Secret Base this coming Sunday.  The event is at the 2F Kowloon House, 20 Matalino Street in Quezon City beginning at 2pm.

 

The Best Pure Wrestler, Ralph Imabayashi will be in action at the show.  Though his opponent is not yet named, Ralph is nearing a milestone of 10 years in the squared circle.  A victory would be a great moment in his career.

 

Also, SIGMA's, Jason Rex will be in action as well.  As all of you know, Jason is undefeated in his return to pro wrestling.  Under the tutelage of LegenDarius and AB3, this means that all three members will be wrestling at the show.

 

For more information on the show, please visit both the FPW - Filipino Pro Wrestling and the Filipino Pro Wrestling Official Facebook pages!  Thank you.

FPW Secret Show At The Secret Update #1


Hello everyone!

 

Since the last post about FPW's Secret Show, there have been, not one match, but two matches added for the show!  The blogger loves what he' s seeing!

 

The first match features the great LegenDarius going up against Cali Nueva.  This IS the Main Event of the program.

 

LegenDarius will make his singles debut AND in a main eventer!  This blogger has only viewed clips of him since his tag team win with Jason Rex last October!  The group SIGMA has done very well since the formation last year!  Along with their newest member, AB3, SIGMA is predicted by experts to make a lot of waves at FPW shows in 2025!

 

Cali Nueva has gone to singles matches from tag matches  of late.  Ranked number five in the latest FPW Power Rankings, he lost to Quatro in a Triple Threat Match at the October show last year.  So, it will be interesting whether or not he can get back into the win column.

 

The second match announced is AB3 (Alexander Belmonte III) against Sam Baltazar in singles action.  AB3, as mentioned earlier, is the latest member of SIGMA.  Technically, he was on the losing end of a tag match last October against LegenDarius and Jason Rex.  It was at the end of the match when AB3 joined forces with SIGMA in a surprise development.

 

Sam Baltazar is someone I've seem live once and that was back in August 2023.  His last match was a good one last September against Duke Ortega, a top talent in FPW.  Mr. High Altitude was definitely flying in the two matches mentioned and is capable in doing it again!

 

This blogger didn't mention this in the last post but this is FPW's first ever dojo show.  Once again, the show location is 2F Kowloon House, Matalino Street in Quezon City.  Time is 2pm.  Ticket price IS pay-what-you-can.  For more information, please visit the FPW - Filipino Pro Wrestling AND Filipino Pro Wrestling Official Facebook pages!  Thank you.

Filipino Pro Wrestling Update

Hello everyone!

 

Things have been a little quiet for Filipino Pro Wrestling since last October's show.  

 

The promotion has definitely been back in training for the 2025 year.  Soon, we will find out the date of their first show.

 

Recently, Kojio Akumu visited FPW as part of a wrestling seminar in the Metro Manila area.  The session went very well and many positives came out of it.

 

As some of you may know, this blogger saw FPW Champion, Jeff Cobb a couple of weekend's ago at the NJPW Strong event in San Jose.  This fan was disappointed that Cobb didn't bring the FPW title with him to the ring (I didn't see it).  Then, his match against El Phantasmo for the IGWP TV Title was a double count out.  The Bay Area is a large Filipino area and it would have been nice to see the FPW belt with him.  Oh well!

 

There have been a lot of storylines over the winter in FPW.  One of the hottest storylines right now is LegenDarius and the Sigma faction.  There could be a possible interview on the horizon.  Please stay tuned for the possibility!

 

Finally, the FPW Astig series (from 2023) can now be seen on You Tube.  Here is the link to click and is listed below.  Also, please subscribe!  Thank you.

Filipino Pro Wrestling Future


By now, the fans that follow Filipino Pro Wrestling know that the promotion just completed its second season in the Philippines.  The final show had a couple of memorable moments.  

 

Jeff Cobb, currently wrestling for New Japan Pro Wrestling, defeated Mike Madrigal for the FPW Championship.  Mike held the prestigious title for 547 days, quite a stint in today's world of pro wrestling.  Right now, the question on fans' minds is if Jeff Cobb will return to the Philippines and defend the belt?  Definitely, we won't know until next year at the earliest.

 

The roster has become stronger with the likes of Thiago and Jeffrey.  Along with the main roster with the likes of Quatro, Duke Ortega, Ralph Imabayashi, The Yolo Twins, Jan Evander, Chino Guinto and others, FPW looks strong going into 2025. 

 

Also, on another note, the stable of Jason Rex and his mentor, LegenDarius, have a third member in the fold in AB3.  Though this blogger wasn't there for the October show, I've seen enough reels and comments to know that he's part of the faction.  From what people have said, factions or stables, the storylines appear to have a fresh approach.  It will be interesting to see what next year will provide with the trio, and perhaps additions!

 

For those that may not know, Robynn, one of my favorites will be returning to the ring.  It will be a very interesting situation as she will be appearing at PUSO Wrestling's final show in a Pinay Gauntlet match.  This is a good and healthy thing, in my opinion, for the Pinoy/Pinay wrestling industry.  This blogger knows that it's none of his business what goes on behind the scenes.  However, it's good that FPW and PUSO Wrestling are cooperating on this.  Pinay wrestling has improved tremendously over the past year in the country.  Having Robynn in the November 30th match will add to what is already a quality match.

 

Finally, Season Two of FPW Astig (July 2023 -  forward) is now showing on You Tube.  Please view and subscribe to Filipino Pro Wrestling on their page.  Thank you.

A New Stable In Town (Part One)

Filipino Pro Wrestling's Jason Rex with LegenDarius with the mic after defeating Dax Xaviera at the September FPW Astig show.  Great photo courtesy of Luis Del Rosario!

 

 

Over the years, pro wrestling has had something called "stables".  For those new to pro wrestling, a stable is a group of one or more wrestlers that have a manager or an advisor.

 

Some of the first stables included groups led by the late and great Bobby Heenan of AWA and the WWF.  Heenan had some greats in his stable such as Nick Bockwinkel, Ray Stevens, Andre The Giant, Mr. Perfect, Paul Orndorff and even Ric Flair!  In a match, you would never know what Heenan was up to.  At times, he would even wrestle as part of a tag team and the fans would love it whether he got his butt kicked or assist in a victory.

 

Part One of a new stable is about Filipino Pro Wrestling in the Philippines.  For those who haven't been to their shows ever or recently, a new stable has been formed.

 

Jason Rex, formerly another wrestler (Brad Cruz) in the days of Philippine Wrestling Revolution, has returned to the ring, and in a huge way.  Advised and/or managed by LegenDarius, he is a force to be reckoned with.

 

Whether the FPW wrestling fans like thia duo or not, this is a fresh approach and a feel good story for pro wrestling.  In fact, you could say that this story is very similar to Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine from the Star Wars series!

 

After Rex's latest win over Dax Xaviera at the September FPW Astig show, this blogger has been told that the fans received an introduction of sorts.  And it didn't come soon enough for those watching at Baked Studios.  


LegenDarius got on the mic following the victory.  The fans were told that this duo has not only arrived, but will create punishment.  LegenDarius scolded Dax Xaviera for overlooking the two before, during, and after the match!  The monologue continued until AB3, a FPW wrestler came out from the locker room.  LegenDarius and the undefeated, Jason Rex left the ring and returned to the locker room.

 

It will be interesting what the future holds for both Jason Rex and LegenDarius.  This wrestling blogger senses that it will be a bright future for them and for Filipino Pro Wrestling.

02 September 2024

Interview #16 - LegenDarius


The next interview is involving someone who made his introduction at the July Filipino Pro Wrestling FPW Astig show.  His name is  LegenDarius.

 

Fans who were at the event feel that he is a manager to a new wrestler on the roster by the name of Jason Rex.  However, instead of going further on this, this blogger will let LegenDarius  share what happened at the July show.  Since this blogger wasn't in attendance, I found out bits and pieces of what transpired that day.  Thank you to LegenDarius in agreeing to this interview.  Here we go.

 

Wayne:  What led you to becoming a manager? 

 

LegenDarius:  I'll be showing the real me in this interview, so apologies in advance. I just recently learned what a "wrestling gimmick" is, and now I understand that I've been playing this gimmick persona of being a super nice wrestling fan. It feels amazing to finally be able to be myself.

 

To be clear, I don't mind being called a manager, but I'm more of a mentor—a strategist. Nothing led me to the position I am in today. I've planned everything from the start. In terms of how we started planning this, it was actually my apprentice, Jason Rex, who put pro wrestling on my radar. I had to get involved in the industry to ensure the success of one of my students, and it then evolved into a bigger mission.

 

"Amateurs seek the sun. Get eaten. Power stays in the shadows." — Lewis Strauss.

 

I had nothing to do with Philippine wrestling until about two years ago. Then, suddenly, my research team successfully made people believe I was this super fan attending FPW and MWF shows. I even gaslighted some fans into thinking I was with them at events years before, even though my first time ever watching a wrestling show was at FPW's first shows. I'm sorry, guys, but I've never actually been to "PWR Homecoming". And to be clear, I didn't lie; my team tricked you. 

 

You interviewed me before, and it was one of your most-viewed interviews, and that has been by design. It's all part of the data collection process and a means to subtly and covertly win over the trust of the fans and the people involved in the industry. 

 

The next step was to get my foot in the door, so I started attending training sessions at the FPW Academy. During that time, I grew closer to rare individuals who not only shared my philosophy but were "pure" in understanding and living my concepts. Let's just say I had to learn how to become "sigma," and some people are just born with it—I'm not going to tell you exactly who they are. 

 

Then, my team said I had to make sure people felt good about me. A consultation firm created my training vignettes so more people would perceive me better. It was a risky step, as it could put off some people seeing a trainee already releasing training montages. But my analysts said this was part of how I could infiltrate more effectively, as it would make the "mark fans" in the wrestling industry relate to me more. Finally, I was able to become what they call a "Young Boy"—a sort of usher and security for FPW shows. 

 

The last show was a canon event. Jason Rex was facing someone who disrespected him in the past. It was a calculated risk, but it was the right moment to step out of the shadows and make things right. Here is a bit of footage from that show: https://www.instagram.com/p/C-4r19cvQhp/ 

 

I don't mind getting my hands dirty, so if I have to get in the ring for the sake of my mission, I will. 

 

Now we're at a point where the world can see who I really am, and we can actually influence the direction of the local wrestling industry—and eventually, hopefully, the entire world. 

 

Wayne:  Tell us more about Jason Rex. 

 

LegenDarius:  Jason Rex used to be known as Brad Cruz, the "Manila Bae" of an old defunct promotion. He was deluded by society into having dreams of becoming a star, which meant he had to be materialistic, vain, and had to pander to society's wants. 

 

But he was able to see the light—that the ladders he wanted to climb were part of a world built on fantasy, mind-controlled advertising, synthetic food made to make us feel weak and wanting to consume more, psychological warfare on social media, and propaganda news designed to distract and divide us. (Why the heck should people care about Carlos Yulo's family drama?) The world hypnotized Brad Cruz, but my secret sigma seminars woke him up from his slumber. I rechristened him and made him into Jason Rex, The Manila Beast! 

 

Wayne:  What are your thoughts on the new venue, Baked Studios? 

 

LegenDarius:  Baked Studios is the stage that will set the world of Philippine wrestling on fire. A great mix of lights, lasers, screens, and overall production creates an otherworldly, surreal atmosphere. That’s exactly the kind of environment where moments are made. It's a venue that matches the caliber of talent FPW wrestlers bring to the table. The roster thrives in places like this—especially my apprentice. 

 

Wayne:  What are your thoughts on Filipino Pro Wrestling now and its future? 

 

LegenDarius:  Filipino Pro Wrestling will keep on growing. Every show, a huge fraction of the audience is people watching wrestling for the first time. The talent here is hungry, the energy is electric, and FPW will continue to evolve and get bigger with time. 

 

But the sun will set on the current era of FPW. Jason Rex and I will use the platform of Filipino Pro Wrestling to help steer the ship of culture itself. 

 

Just so people understand, I am not Andrew Tate or Josh Mojica. I am not here to sell courses to make people rich, and I don't condone misogyny. I am here to build people up, to wake them up to the truth that we live in a dystopia that intentionally wants to harm us, make us weak, so we can be slaves and just consume. I want people to unleash the beast within them. 

 

Against my own wants, I make "relatable" short-form content so I can try to reach people outside the wrestling niche. But it's mostly so people can connect with us—the first step in waking people up. If I can transform Brad Cruz into Jason Rex, I hope to do the same for everyone else. But if they want to reach their beast self, they should follow me on socials, FPW, and Jason Rex.

LegenDarius, thank you so much for the interview.  As this is being posted, Legendarius and Jason Rex are preparing for the next FPW show, FPW Astig.  The show is on Sunday, September 15th at 2pm at Baked Studios in Makati City.

 

Jason Rex will be taking on Dax Xaviera in one of several matches that afternoon.  This match is important for both wrestlers as a victory could move one of them closer to an FPW Championship Title match down the line.

 

For tickets, please visit the FPW - Filipino Pro Wrestling Facebook page.  All the best to LegenDarius and to Jason Rex in the next show, and going forward!
