The Life Of A Pro Wrestler

Hello everyone.

 

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.

FPW Astig March Show Update #4

Hello everyone.

 

High flying Sam Baltazar, fresh off a solid performance in the last show, will be in action on Sunday, March 23rd.

 

The action that this blogger is referring to is the Filipino Pro Wrestling Astig show at the Baked Studios beginning at 2pm.  Baltazar's opponent is yet to be named but am certain there will be one that Sam is ready for.

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.
