The First FPW Championship Match


It was Sunday, April 23, 2023.  The venue was the PMC Spotlight Blackbox Theater in Circuit Makati.  The finals of the FPW Tournament, to decide the first FPW Champion, was about to take place.

 

Mike Madrigal, Ralph Imabayashi and Cali Nueva would go through a competitive tournament to reach the finals.  I was fortunate to see all three wrestlers live last August.  There was no question in my mind then that all three grapplers deserved to be in the final on this very day.

 

Prior to seeing the August show, it was watching each on You Tube video when all three were with Philippine Wrestling Revolution.  I knew about Ralph Imabayashi being PWR Champion longer than anyone in the promotion's history.  But, after watching some video with Mike Madrigal and Cali Nueva, any one of the three could be the first FPW Champion.

 

This wrestling fan has watched this match a couple of times now and it was as action packed of a three way match as any triple threat match I've seen worldwide.  All three brought their 'A' game that day to the PMC Spotlight Theater.

 

I want to say that Red Ollero and Poch Spice (who is also the ring announcer) did a good job with the commentary.  They brought a lot of excitement to the match as well.


As 2024 is a few days old, I could see any of the three in this match holding the FPW Championship this year or sometime down the line.  If you haven't seen the match, the link to it is below.  Hope you guys enjoy it.  The fans who were there back in April did just that!

Now Is The Opportunity!


Waking up this morning, it was exciting that the Manila Wrestling Federation Factory will begin soon for aspiring wrestlers.  From what I'm reading, the Factory will begin on Sunday, January 21st at the Brawl Pit Bulusan in Quezon City.


This blogger has read the numerous comments from MWF wrestlers, staff and fans who are interested.  Especially with the wrestlers, please read what they have to say before committing to this.  What is mentioned is very important and it is from their experiences in the ring.

 

To find out more, please check the Manila Wrestling Federation page on Facebook.  It is a lot more detailed there than what I'm sharing on this post!

 

To the fans who are reading this post, and live outside of the Philippines, I know first hand of several promotions that have had off and on sessions over the last few weeks (Grapplemax in Singapore and PWS Korea for example).  If you are interested, please send me a message on Facebook (under SF Wayne) and I will try and connect you with a representative of the promotion.  Promotions in Southeast Asia are continuously looking for aspiring people that want to become wrestlers.

 

All the best to MWF, Jake, Nigel and all the aspiring people going forward.  Chelsea Marie, Joya, Isaiah Valencia, Joey Rosas and Kurt Jiminez have reached MWFs main roster over the last couple of years.  There are at least two others that I know of that could be MWF bound in 2024!
