Final Thoughts For 2023

This fan and blogger cannot wait for 2024 to arrive.  The momentum with pro wrestling in Southeast Asia is a very positive and encouraging one right now in the region.  Most countries and promotions have had very successful shows throughout 2023.

 

From the Philippines to Hong Kong to Thailand to Singapore and more, shows were selling out in venues.  

 

Current wrestling promotions would stream or have their shows on television for the first time in years.

 

A Chris Jericho podcast would feature two promotions in Southeast Asia for the first time.

 

There was a promotion in one country making its successful debut over a 10 month calendar stretch.  The same promotion would follow by showing their shows over a 10 week time frame on You Tube.

 

There would be two - four way women's matches, in two different shows, with two different promotions in the same country.  Though, as difficult as it is finding women to wrestle, both promotions were able to pull it off!  In both cases, the fans who were present at the shows, showed their appreciation.  This fan was fortunate to be at both of the events!

 

Pro Wrestling Illustrated, now a global magazine, has recognized several wrestlers from the region.  That is a good sign of things to come.

 

In a couple of countries, things are still somewhat slow in recovery from the pandemic.  However, there is progress with the promotions as the year is coming to an end.

 

With 2024 arriving soon, things will continue to improve.  Numerous promotions are recognizing and seeing it.  The fan bases of the different promotions in different countries are noticing it and this fan feels it from the various social media pages.

 

One thing worth adding.  Since the new blog began in October, over 5,000 people and 137 countries have read at least one post.  This is more than what this blogger would have ever imagined.  Thank you for making this possible.

 

Hopefully, the fans who read this, whatever country one lives in, has an opportunity to see a show in your area in 2024.  The promotions are doing everything they can to make pro wrestling entertaining as possible.  All I can say it please check it out!

 

Happy New Year and a safe 2024 everyone!

Final Thoughts On WUW - Philippines

This blogger would like to share his final thoughts on World Underground Wrestling - Philippines for 2023.

 

Realizing that WUW - Philippines doesn't get as much ink on my blog as it should, still, the promotion needs to be recognized.

 

Led by a very talented performer in Saint John Martin, the promotion put on a great show with Dexcon being a major contributor in August of this year.  The show, as well as the meet and greet with wrestlers throughout the Philippines and some of Southeast Asia was great!  It was this fan's first taste of a meet and greet in Southeast Asia and it was very memorable.

 

Having the show at the Brawl Pit Bulusan in Quezon City was really cool too.  The fans are right on top of the action which made the show even better.  What this fan liked was the cafe next to the venue called the S. Brewed Cafe.  The food was really good and something I would recommend to someone that is making a day of the show activities.

 

WUW - Philippines will be having their next show in March 2024 sponsored by Dexcon once again.  This blogger will have continual updates on who will appear.  The show is called WrestleStorm on it will take place on March 24th.

 

Finally, regarding WUW - Philippines, congratulations to Ken Cifer and Saint John Martin for winning the WUW Tag Team Championship at the 2023 Noche Buena show.
