The Asian Dragon - Kym

Kym with Hannibal at the end of the the Powerslam XXI show last November.  Thank you NWF for sharing the photo.

 

Hello everyone.

 

Recently, this blogger began doing a series on some wrestlers that are on promotions that this blog covers.  The Alexis Lee story was well promoted and in a way that was very positive in nature.  The next one will be about someone that some readers don't know of.  However, you'll know a little more after reading this.

 

A few months ago, this blogger became friends on Facebook with a wrestler by the name of Kym.  I'm not sure how we met exactly.  However, he's been a major part of reading the blog and contributing in a big way.

 

Kym was born in Thailand and now lives in Oslo, Norway.  He started training as a pro wrestler back in April 2022.  It was right at the time when the Norwegian Wrestling Federation (Norges Wrestleforbund), the top promotion in Norway, resumed their shows once again.  This was due to the Covid-19 outbreak that affected promotions worldwide.

 

A little over a year later, The Asian Dragon (per the announcer) made his wrestling debut in an event in Bergen. Amazingly that day, Kym wrestled twice (a singles match and part of a 10-man tag team encounter).

 

Kym continued to wrestle mostly in singles competition until around May 2024.  This is when the team, Inferno was born.  Kym would team up with Rayo Flores, a wrestler born in Argentina, and the excitement would just begin.  

 

This blogger had a chance to watch a You Tube video of Inferno in action against Hjertebank (Heartbeat in English).  The fans, at the Sagene Festival House in Oslo, were electric when they entered the ring that day.  They would win the first round match.  Unfortunately, they would lose a Triple Threat match for the NWF Tag Team Titles later that day.  However, the feeling was that it was only a matter of time when the fans would see gold around their waists!

 

In November at NWF's major event, Powerslam XXI in Oslo, Inferno would get their redemption.  This blogger has seen clips of the match.  The sellout crowd of around 600 fans that night would see Kym, along with Rayo Flores win the NWF Tag Team Belts in a Triple Threat rematch from back in May.  The fans were electric that night!

 

Though losing to Hovedstaden for the belts in January, Kym, along with Rayo, are looking for redemption sometime in 2025.  Looking at the future, Kym is definitely exciting to watch.  He's young, energetic and works well whether it's in singles or tag team competition.  He, as well as Rayo have a great future ahead.  If this fan was a wrestler, Kym would definitely be my partner anytime!

NWF Winter Fold Show Results


Hello
everyone.

 

Here are the official results from Norges Wrestlingforbund's show, NWF Winter Fold.  The event took place this past Saturday, February 15th at the Bergen Kjott in Bergen, Norway.  

 

Due to several wrestlers being ill, the lineup for the show was changed.  However, the show went on as scheduled before an enthusiastic and sellout crowd.  Hopefully, in a future date, we will see Kym taking on Espen Olsen for the European Cruiserweight Title.  Definitely, the fans in Norway are looking forward to the match as well.  

 

From seeing some video, the fans were treated to some exciting action and were really into the show all evening.

 

NWF's next show is on Saturday, March 1st.  This blogger will have more on the show in the coming days.

 

European Cruiserweight Title: Espen Olsen (c) d. Marco Garcia.

Triple Threat Match: Piwo d. Allan Ackles & Liam Wolf.

Hovedstaden (Daniel Sebastian & Sindre Alexander) d. Hjerteback (Hjerteprinsen & Kris Adonis).

More On Norwegian Wrestling Federation


Hello everyone!

 

The Norwegian Wrestling Federation (Norges Wrestlingforbund in Finnish), a wrestling promotion, was founded in 2001 by Erik Isaksen.  Their first show took place (according to Cagematch) in October 2001 with seven matches on the show.

 

NWF has done really well with what appears to be close to 175 shows over 24 years (seven to eight shows per year).  The promotion has four championship titles (NWF Heavyweight, NWF Tag Team, European Heavyweight and Cruiserweight).

 

From what this fan sees, the promotion's popular shows are Vendetta, Heteslag and PowerSlam.

 

Popular and well known wrestlers that wrestle in the promotion are Inferno (Rayo and Kym), The Headhunters (Adrian Storm and T-Jay), Hannibal, Robert Star and Espen Olsen.  There are definitely more but the ones mentioned have won championships at one point or another.

 

The PowerSlam show the past November drew over 650 fans, their largest ever.  Watching a little video and seeing the wrestlers that are part of the promotion, the future is more than bright for this company.

 

NWF can be seen On Twitch.  Also, under Norges Wrestlingforbund, they are on You Tube.  Their next show is on March 1st with the show, Trouble In The Tiger City.  There will be two shows that day.  This blogger will share more about the show and the wrestlers involved in the coming days and weeks.  

 

For more information, and tickets, please visit the Norges Wrestlingforbund Facebook page.  I've linked it below for everyone!  Thank you.

Norwegian Wrestling Federation


Tomorrow, this blogger will go outside the box and share a promotion that Southeast Asia and wrestling fans may very well like.

 

A few days ago, I came across a promotion called the Norwegian Wrestling Federation out of Oslo, Norway (or Norges Wrestlingforbund in Norwegian language).  The promotion is celebrating its 24th anniversary and is going stronger than ever.

 

There is one tag team in particular that I'll be sharing.  The team is called Inferno.  Kym, a wrestler from Thailand with experience of one and a half years, and Rayo Flores, a wrestler born in Argentina, are an up and coming tag team in the promotion.  Inferno has had a taste of championship success in winning the NWF Tag Team title this past November.  More on Kym, Rayo, and NWF tomorrow.
