SPW Mayhem Update #2


Hello everyone.

 

There have been a couple of matches added to the SPW Mayhem show scheduled for Friday, May 30th at the Foo Chow Building in Singapore.

 

Alexis Lee will be taking on the SPW Queen Of Asia Champion, Yuki Kamifuku for the title.  This match has one added stipulation.  If Alexis Lee loses, she WILL retire!  A victory will mean that she will be the first two time champion in the belt's history.

 

In the other added match, the team of Ho Ho Lun and Emman Azman will team up for the very first time.  Their opponents will be The Statement Andruew Tang and Shivam from SETUP Thailand Pro Wrestling.

 

Going back to the last SETUP show in Thailand in March, Shivam interfered in a match between Andruew Tang and Jonathan Johnson for the SETUP Openweight Championship.  Because of the interference, Tang retained the title.

 

Following the match, The Statement and Shivam, former rivals, would form an alliance known as Real Global Threat. Their intentions are a takeover of Southeast Asia wrestling.  Will that actually happen?

One Feature Match At FPW's July Astig Show


Hello everyone!

 

As most of you know, Filipino Pro Wrestling's next show, FPW Astig will take place this coming Sunday, July 14th at 2pm.  The location is the Baked Studios in Makati City.

 

One of the seven matches on the show is one that should be a really good one.  They are two former champions that were with the Philippine Wrestling Revolution brand.  We are talking about "The Blessed One" - Chino Guinto vs. "The Slingblade" -  Dax Xaviera.

 

This blogger has seen both wrestlers on You Tube video.  He had a chance to see the two in separate singles matches last August at the final FPW Astig show.

 

The difference in the two separate matches I saw was that one match was well officiated (Dax's match) while the other one (Chino's match) wasn't.  Mistakes happen in pro wrestling and it's part of the business.  However, everyone in attendance that day saw that Chino's shoulders were not pinned at the count of three.  It wasn't even close.  It was botched!  This blogger didn't mention this in the post last year but nearly a year has past since.  I can now talk about it.

 

For those who aren't aware of what's happening, Chino Guinto wants to be considered as championship material.  Simple as that!  He feels the best way for this is to climb the ladder of opponents to get an FPW Championship title opportunity.  He has made a bet that if he loses anytime prior to the championship opportunity, he will retire from in-ring competition!  Mr. Ollero has imposed the stipulation as a result.


For Dax Xaviera, this is a huge opportunity too.  It appears that he's on a similar path as Chino.  He hasn't had a championship in awhile as well.  Looking at some video, he has stepped up his training.  It doesn't appear that he is taking Chino lightly either.  A victory over Chino could be a step up the ladder for a possible title shot.

 

Certainly, those who have seen the FPW page may not be aware that there are seven matches on the show this coming Sunday.  The singles match between Chino Guinto and Dax Xaviera is definitely huge.  All seven matches are this coming weekend at the Baked Studios.

 

This blogger wishes he could be there to see it!  If you have yet to buy a ticket, please visit the FPW - Filipino Pro Wrestling Page on Facebook.  Thank you!
