SPW: Viva La Lucha Update

Each time this blogger looks at Singapore Pro Wrestling and the shows that are being put on, the shows are top notch!

 

Since I started doing this blog, and looking back, SPW is definitely the leader in Southeast Asia wrestling.  SPW: Viva La Lucha will be their fourth show this year.  When looking at the three previous shows, every match was top quality with a good number being Championship Title matches. Seeing some videos, wrestling fans, who were in attendance, saw some great action at the Foo Chow Building!

 

This blogger looked back at many of the show results on Cagematch.  Andruew and company have made sure that wrestling fans in Singapore are getting their money's worth.  Also, many, if not all of the top performers in Southeast Asia, have appeared in the shows.

 

SPW Viva La Lucha will be no exception here.  There are five different Championship Matches that will take place in this show.  Samuray Del Sol (formerly Kalisto) versus Andruew Tang IS a main event match anywhere in Southeast Asia.  The Horrors vs. Bryson Blade and CK Vin tag team match will be a really entertaining match as well.

 

Before mentioning about tickets, congratulations to Alexis Lee, the SPW Queen Of Asia Champion on being in the top 250 women wrestlers worldwide in Pro Wrestling Illustrated's latest January 2024 issue.  More than well deserved!

 

For more on tickets, and the show is about one month away, please check the SPW page on Facebook.

Grapplemax

This blogger has done several posts on Grapplemax Pro Wrestling Singapore since reblogging.  Whether, it is to share results from a concluded show or sharing information about a wrestler in the promotion, this fan feels there's a lot more to share about them.

 

Grapplemax is one of three wrestling promotions in Singapore, along with Singapore Pro Wrestling and Ring Of Rebirth.  On their website, it says that it is Singapore's Fastest Growing Pro Wrestling Community.

 

In this blogger's mind, Grapplemax is building their product the correct way.  Their first show took place in 2017 and they haven't looked back. If this is correct, they have had more than 40 shows since the first one.

 

The roster is diverse, around 20 people aging from 16 to 46.  They have their own studio that has increased in size at UBI 55 on 55 Ubi Avenue.

 

Their shows have been held to sold out crowds so there is a good fan base in Singapore.  Certainly, things are definitely good and on the rise!

 

On the wrestling front, Grapplemax is led by their Openweight Champion, Big Dave and Wrestle Square Cruiserweight Champion, Jordan.  Both have proven that they deserve to be at the top.  Big Dave has had the title since the very inception in December 2022.  Jordan won the Cruiserweight belt a couple of months ago in a three way match against Simon Siah and Christian.

 

However, there is a lot of competition for both of the prestigious titles.  Anytime you have the likes of Christian, Ban, Hotshot, Simon Siah, Joses, Showtime and Showtime Inc., Wildfire Remus and more, on any given night, any of the wrestlers mentioned, could be a title holder.  

 

Also, this fan is always excited to see a promotion have women wrestlers.  It's great to see Sarah as one of the members on the roster.  Hopefully, this will be an inspiration in getting more women to wrestle!

 

This fan believes that Endboss Gregory, Crypto Bro LK and Big Dave are involved in the training although there may be others that haven't been mentioned.  If this blogger left out anyone, please let me know via message and will correct this. 

 

Hopefully sometime in 2024, while visiting on vacation in Singapore, I'll take in a show.  I've seen their shows on You Tube and always come away impressed with how hard they've worked to perform in front of the fans.  It's definitely a must see if you are a wrestling fan.

MWF: Noche Buena Update #3

Two more matches have been added to the MWF: Noche Buena show scheduled for Sunday, December 3rd.  The venue is at the PMC Spotlight Theater, Circuit Makati beginning at 4:30pm.  Doors open at 4pm.

 

There will be a #1 Contender's match for the MWF Pinoy Wrestling Championship.  "Danger" Rex Lawin will take on Hong Kong's Ho Ho Lun.

 

This is Rex Lawin's biggest opportunity in coveting the MWF title.  One would probably have to go back as far as October 2018.  The new MWF title would have its first champion in December.  Rex reached as far as the semi final round of a tournament to decide a new champion.  In December, he will be in a similar position.

 

For Ho Ho Lun, he was the second MWF Champion. The Hong Kong Pro Wrestling star won the title at MWF Republika in 2019 and actually never lost the belt due to a pin or submission.  Because of the pandemic, the MWF title was vacated when the pandemic eased.  Ho Ho Lun is now getting his opportunity in getting the title back.

 

Also, in another match, Brother Jomar Liwanag will take on Aaron Liwanag.  The winner of the match will be the leader of Bahay Ng Liwanag.

 

There will be a clarification if both matches are done by Manila Rules.  Also, there will be some updates on additional matches.

 

Tickets are going well for the show.  Please continue to check the Manila Wrestling Federation - MWF page regarding tickets and any updated news.  Thanks everyone!
