The feature match will be Golem Thai of Bad Company against the King Of Thai Wrestling Champion, Prince Benny of Revolution Squad.  This is a non title, singles match or a 20 minute time limit.  This blogger got a clarification since the last post.

 

The last time the two went one-on-one was last August at the Reinforce show.  Prince Benny came out the winner that time.  In 2022, at the same Reinforce show, it was Golem Thai coming out on top in Prince Benny's debut match according to Cagematch.

 

It will be interesting to see what happens this time.  for tickets, please visit the TOP Dojo - Thailand Origin Pro Wrestling Facebook page.  Thank you.

A New Chapter Underway

Hello everyone.

 

Doing this blog for some time now, every promotion on this blog has a feel good story.  Over time, this blogger will share one with each promotion.  Certainly of late, the blog has featured more with wrestlers in promotions covered.  Of course, there will be shows to continue to cover as well as the results.

 

Last night, in some spare time, this blogger sat down and watched a couple of TOP Dojo matches in full.  The promotion is out of Thailand.  In the short time knowing the group, mostly everyone on the group has been supportive of what is posted here.  Also, watching a few matches on You Tube has provided a story of what to write.

 

This blogger has watched every wrestler that is currently on the roster.  Seeing what P-Nutz and Golem Thai, the backbone of the promotion provide, this fan needs to write even more material.  This is for the fans in Thailand as well as throughout Southeast Asia and beyond.

 

The two matches this fan watched were Golem Thai vs. Flame Drake and P-Nutz vs. Prince Benny.  The two matches had a little bit different story line from one another.  Yet, the two matches both had a lot of emotion, both during, and after, the conclusion.  

 

Fans who read the blog often will know the results of the two matches.  However, this fan always recognizes that there are fans who are still new to the SEA wrestling scene and want to see this for themselves.  

 

So, looking ahead to TOP Dojo, and for that matter, any promotion, knowledge helps all of the fans in preparation.  Social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and You Tube are huge.  Most, if not all of the countries covered, have podcasts now.  There are wrestling groups that share information.

 

Some fans feel, or have felt, that the two matches mentioned perhaps "Finished The Story!"  This fan would not disagree with you there.

 

However, some fans may feel that a new chapter is beginning, not only in TOP Dojo, but numerous promotions that are covered here.  Think of a half glass of water that is sitting on a table.  Is the glass half full or half empty?  Neither answer is a wrong one; it is how it is interpreted.

 

One thing that we can agree on is that 2025 has off to a busy start.  This blogger doesn't remember it being this busy one year ago.  Something right is happening.  Hopefully pro wrestling fans whether in Southeast Asia, Norway, Australia, Europe, North and South America and Africa, are seeing an industry booming!  Hopefully, we are all enjoying this!

SETUP Thailand's Blick Drewz

Hello everyone.

 

The next SETUP Thailand wrestling show is on Saturday, March 22nd with the event, EP21 Double Cross.  Part of the event will feature a series called the Uprising Series.

 

For those that haven't been following, but reading for the first time, SETUP has selected six wrestlers who will take part in the tournament as you can see on the top of the post.  This blogger has done feature stories on Kru Pol, Kevin Weng and Flame Drake.  The next feature will be someone who recently returned to pro wrestling here in Thailand.  His name is Blick Drewz.

 

The first time hearing about Blick Drewz was an article by Under The Ropes called Thailand's Pro Wrestlers in 2019.  There was mention of a tag team that wrestled for Gatoh Move Pro Wrestling (which today is ChocoPro).  The team consisted of Monomoth and Blick Drewz.  Eventually, the two would separate when two promotions, SETUP Thailand and TOP Dojo would begin separate promotions in the country.

 

In February 2020, Blick Drewz would be one of eight wrestlers that would take part in the promotion's first show, Reborn at the Motorway Dojo.  He would continue during the year.  He would finish 2020 winning in a tag team match in December.  It would be over a year before the promotion put on another show.  The covid-19 epidemic was the reason.

 

Likely because of the uncertainty, Blick would step away from the ring.  It happened to a few wrestlers worldwide so the retirement was not uncommon.

 

Because of the passion, the increased number of wrestling fans in Thailand, and missing the excitement and competition, Blick eventually returned to the squared circle.

 

In November's show, EP20 - Year End Climax, he made his return to the ring in a 20 person SETUP Rumble.  The fans at The Circus Studio cheered wildly because they had no idea that he was returning to action.  Up until that time, not everyone was named to take part in the event.

 

Since that time, Blick Drewz had wrestled in another SETUP show, Bangkok Navigation as a part of a tag team with someone who he was familiar with back in 2020, Flame Drake.

 

As of this post, both Blick Drewz and Flame Drake along with Kru Pol, Kevin Weng, Pondhub and Gunn will take part in the Uprising Series that begins on Saturday, March 22.  Blick does have some experience going back to 2019 and despite the layoff, he will be certain to meet the challenge of the other competitors in the tournament.  It's great to see any wrestler return, especially one who loves in-ring competition!  Fans, and all of us in the pro wrestling scene, especially in Thailand, are excited about his return to action.

SETUP Thailand's Flame Drake

Hello everyone.

 

Hope everyone is enjoying the series of posts regarding the wrestlers who will compete in SETUP Thailand's Uprising Series Tournament.  The event will begin with the EP21: Double Cross show on March 22nd.

 

In the past few days, this blogger shared some information on Kru Pol and Kevin Weng.  This fan knows that many reading this know their background from the shows attended and social media.  The blogger also knows that there is a new audience of people reading this that are new to the Southeast Asia pro wrestling scene.  In any case, hopefully all of you are enjoying this.

 

The next wrestler to be mentioned in the upcoming tournament is no stranger to the Thailand pro wrestling scene.  His name is Flame Drake.

 

From my conversations, Flame Drake is definitely a huge wrestling fan.  Along with SETUP Thailand's P'Suchart (or Mr. Suchart), both, as fans only, attended SETUP Thailand's first wrestling show.  Both Flame Drake and P'Suchart are long time friends and have encouraged each other over the years.

 

The event was back in January 2020 called Bangkok Showdown.  The event was a joint effort with Wrestle Square, a promotion from India.  Also, some wrestlers from throughout Asia helped the event be a huge success.

 

Flame Drake would begin training at TOP Dojo under Golem Thai and P-Nutz while P'Suchart went to SETUP and began training with the promotion.  

 

Flame Drake would win his first pro wrestling match for TOP Dojo (Thailand Origin Pro Wrestling) back in December 2020.  He would win a singles match at an event known as Battle Royal.  It took place on a mat, very normal for professional wrestling in Southeast Asia.  The venue was the Motorway Dojo.

 

He would continue with the promotion, event through the Covid pandemic that affected pro wrestling everywhere.  Flame Drake continued with the promotion until November 2024.  He would defeat Golem Thai, someone who helped train him in his professional career.  It would be the first time defeating him.  The victory is a statement to wrestlers never to give up!  Flame Drake would announce that he would be leaving the promotion for a new chapter in his professional career.

 

In November, at SETUP Thailand's event, Year End Climax, Flame Drake would make his SETUP debut in the 20 person rumble match.  It ended up, after watching the You Tube video, that he was #20 entering the Battle Royal.  It can be seen on SETUP's You Tube channel.

 

In January, Flame Drake would be in his first tag match at SETUP, teaming up with Blick Drewz against long time friend, P'Suchart and Anont Alonzo for the IWA Japan SETUP World Tag Team Championship.  Blick Drewz and Flame Drake would renew acquaintances as tag team partners for the match.  Flame Drake mentioned to me that Blick Drewz was his senior wrestler with TOP Dojo back when he was started.  Today, they are both wrestling with SETUP.  

 

It will be interesting what the future holds for a wrestler that I enjoy watching on video.  He's fast, agile, definitely has wrestling skills, has been trained well both on the mat as well as ring action.  The fans who have seen him at shows such as The Circus Studio rally behind him.  Like everyone that is taking part in the Uprising Series, I would not bet against him!

TOP Dojo on You Tube

Hello everyone.

 

TOP Dojo (Thailand) has released some You Tube videos from last November's show, Siam Fighter 2024 show.  The event took place at the Sila Market in a ring format in Bangkok.

 

There are four matches that were on the show (with one exhibition match).  The matches are full length in its entirety.

 

Please check them out and subscribe today!  Thank you.

TOP Dojo Practice

Hello everyone!

 

Good to see that one of my favorite pro wrestling promotions, TOP Dojo (Thailand) appeared to have a good practice this past Sunday.  Their workouts took place at the Motorway Dojo near the Airport Link Hua Mak station.

 

A few days ago, it was announced that there would be training for those wanting to referee and/or wrestle.  To my knowledge, the enrollment is still on.  Please check the 29 January Facebook post for information.

 

Also yesterday, and not mentioning any names here, there was a participant that returned to TOP Dojo for practice after two years of being away.  It's always great to hear stories like this.  

 

Wrestling is something that this person loves.  I'm certain that P-Nutz, Golem Thai, and everyone who was there, were happy of the moment.  

 

Being once, a wrestler in high school, the toughest part, whether it's wrestling, or any sport, is the first step and getting to a practice.  Yes, there will be practices that are easier than others.  But, the first time is always the hardest.  

 

Again, if one is interested in being a referee, wrestler, or both, please visit the TOP Dojo - Thailand Origin Pro Wrestling Facebook page.  Thank you.          

TOP Dojo (Thailand) Free Training Sessions

Hello everyone!

 

According to the TOP Dojo - Thailand Origin Pro Wrestling page, there will be an upcoming Free Training, Free Classes session.  The training session will be held at the Motorway Dojo, near Airportlink metro station, Hua Mak.

 

Details (both in Thai and in English) and more information can be found on TOP Dojo's Facebook page listed here https://www.facebook.com/topdojo

 

This is a great opportunity for one to learn the skills of pro wrestling led by an experienced team led by Golem Thai and P-Nutz.  Thank you.

February One Year Ago

Hello everyone.

Here is some of what happened in SEA Wrestling history one year ago around this time. 

 

Vietnam Pro Wrestling - Venomshank (Dokuga and Rensho), the VPW Tag Team Champions, were to face The Juicy Boyz (The Wonderboy & Miles Karu) from Malaysia Pro Wrestling for the VPW Tag Team Championship.  The Juicy Boyz would go on to win a title later in the year.

 

SETUP Thailand - Jonathan Johnson became the SETUP Openweight Championship in a three-way. Matcha became the SETUP All Asia Women's Title, also in a three-way.

 

Singapore Pro Wrestling - Black Arrow had just won the SPW Singapore Title.  Also, The Horrors (Da Buthcherman & Dr. Gore) had won the Southeast Asia Tag Team Title.

 

Grapplemax Pro Wrestling Singapore - Hotshot would make a couple of successful defenses of the Grapplemax Openweight Title since winning it in late 2023.

 

Dexcon (Philippines) - Dexcon had announced in December that they would sponsor their second show, WrestleStorm.  The show would eventually sell out and was a huge success!

 

Filipino Pro Wrestling - FPW would announce their first show, FPW Astig.  It was announced that the main event, the champion - Mike Madrigal would face Thiago for the title.

 

Ring Of Rebirth Singapore - ROR would announce their first two shows in March, RoR #6 and #7 at the Goldpine Industrial Building.  

 

TOP Dojo (Thailand) - TOP Dojo would announce their first show, "A New Dream."  It would take place in March at the Motorway Dojo before an enthusiastic and sellout group in attendance.

 

Malaysia Pro Wrestling - Some members of MYPW were preparing for an event, Causeway Jam, featuring some wrestlers from their promotion and Grapplemax at the Grapplemax Studios.  One week later, they would host their first show, New Breed in Malaysia.

 

World Underground Wrestling - Philippines - Several wrestlers took part in the Dexcon event in March.  After a couple of other wrestling shows, they hosted their own show, Tagay Na!

 

APAC Wrestling (Malaysia) - The promotion had just completed a very successful show, APAC Enter The Dragon before a capacity crowd at Spacerubix.

Congratulations To TOP Dojo

Hello everyone!

 

Thailand Origin Pro Wrestling or TOP Dojo is celebrating their five year anniversary this year.

 

The promotion, besides one of the other two wrestling promotions in Thailand, SETUP Thailand, hosted their first show in February 2020.

 

The event, Reborn - Fighting Spirit Event #1 took place on February 29th at the Motorway Dojo, just east of the downtown area in the Suan Luang area.

 

The first show done, in a wrestling mat format, had four matches.  Jibzy, Thailand's second female wrestler, and first women's champion, owner- P-Nutz, Golem Thai, Hideo, Blick Drewz, Kuma, Jay Yuu and Oath wrestled in the first show.

 

Currently, P-Nutz, Golem Thai, Kuma and Jay Yuu continue to wrestle for TOP Dojo.  Blick Drewz is still wrestling, and with SETUP.  Newer talent such as Wassana, Silver Bullet, Best Boonpa and the King Of Thai Wrestling Champion, Prince Benny, will provide exciting moments in 2025!  A person to watch in 2025 is Baphobia.

 

This blogger is still reading up about Gatoh Move and its history prior to this promotion.  In the meantime, congratulations to TOP Dojo and in its five years as a promotion.  In a few weeks, there will be an announcement of an upcoming show.  I'm sure the fans are looking forward to a few shows at the Motorway Dojo and elsewhere!

 

TOP Dojo can be found on Facebook, You Tube and other social media outlets.       

More About TOP Dojo

 

Back in July 2024, this blogger first heard of TOP Dojo or Thailand Origin Pro Wrestling.  It was through The Eurasian Dragon, a well known wrestler from Singapore that heads the Ring Of Rebirth promotion.

 

Ring Of Rebirth sent several wrestlers to the Bangkok area of Thailand for a show.  What I noticed right away was a little of my short background in high school.  That was wrestling on a mat.

 

This blogger will always appreciate pro wrestling whether the promotion and event is staged on a mat or a ring.  Several promotions in Southeast Asia began their quests with pro wrestling on a mat format.  Vietnam Pro Wrestling, for example, has done that.

 

It wasn't until recently on Facebook when I became friends with TOP Dojo Ring Announcer, Jason.  He shared some things about the promotion, the promotion's major show, as well as the country of Thailand.  Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia are places I would like to visit one day.

 

It appears that the groundwork for TOP Dojo began in late December 2019.

 

Led by P-Nutz and Golem Thai, TOP Dojo's first show, Reborn, would take place on February 29, 2020.  Along with the two mentioned, Jibsy, a top woman wrestler in Thailand wrestled in the show along with Blick Drewz, Kuma, Jay Yuu, Hideo (who's birthday is the same day as this blogger) and Oath took part.  The event was held at the Motorway Dojo, just east of the downtown area of Bangkok.

 

Unfortunately, less than a month later, the Covid pandemic set in and crippled pro wrestling throughout the world.  TOP Dojo would do a show late in December.  However, it wouldn't be until February 2022 before another show took place.

 

Also, because of the pandemic, several wrestlers who were at the initial show back in February 2020 are no longer wrestling currently.

 

P-Nutz, the owner and the first King Of Thai Wrestling Champion, has a very good roster.  Golem Thai, one of the original members is still an active member along with Kuma and Jay Yuu.  One of my favorites, Flame Drake, is very active.  Bobby, Jonathan Wolf, K.H.J, Earth and Mickey Rawz have made some appearances.

 

The remainder of the roster is Prince Benny (the current King Of Thai Wrestling Champion), Silver Bullet, Wassana, B. Jirawat, JT, Bahopia (a trainee) and Best Boonpa.  Jason continues to be the ring announcer and does a great job at it.  If there is anyone I missed, please message or contact me and will add them here.

 

The promotion also has stables (groups) like what you would see at New Japan Pro Wrestling.  Wassana, a masked wrestler in the promotion is a member of FREE CLANS.  P-Nutz and Golem Thai are currently BAD COMPANY.  Silver Bullet and Kuma are KAIJU and Flame Drake and Prince Benny are REVOLUTION SQUAD.

 

TOP Dojo's major show is Siam Fighter.  The latest version took place in November and was in a ring format.  Their other shows include Reinforce, Unleash, Nuclear Reaction and Overheat.  Most of the mat shows take place at the Motorway Dojo, located east of the center of Bangkok.
