FPW Astig's Next Show!


Filipino Pro Wrestling and FPW Astig will be returning next month!

 

The show will take place on Sunday, February 11th at the PMC Spotlight Blackbox Theater in Circuit Makati.  Time is TBD (probably 2pm).

 

There was a mention on whom FPW Champion, Mike Madrigal should wrestle on the upcoming show.

 

Definitely, this blogger is not a matchmaker.  Mike did defeat Ralph Imabayashi and Cali Nueva in the finals of a tournament last year to win the belt.

 

He defended it successfully against Duke Ortega in a banger of a match that I saw live last August. 

 

Looking back at the FPW:Astig series, he wrestled nearly everyone on the roster and defeated everyone.  

 

Perhaps they could run through the series again starting with Mharckie.  However, though I wasn't at any of the tapings, he hadn't faced the likes of Quatro and Dax Xaviera per the 11 week series in which the fans saw on You Tube.

 

However, this fan knows that Mike Madrigal will be ready. no matter the opponent.  He and the FPW locker room have had a long enough off season to see how the 2024 season will be like.

 

This fan is definitely looking forward to an exciting year.  Am sure the fans cannot wait to watch the action at the PMC Spotlight Blackbox Theater at Circuit Makati.  Tickets are now available on the ticket 2 me website.  However, please check the FPW - Filipino Pro Wrestling for more information.

Dexcon Wrestle Storm Update


A few hours ago, there was a major announcement regarding Dexcon Wrestle Storm's next show.  The event will take place on Saturday/Sunday, March 23-24.  More on this later in the post.

 

The announcement began with my friend, Linus Santos.  The announcement was turned over to WWE Hall Of Famer, and one of this fan's favorite wrestlers in Tito Santana!  Tito looked great in the video and hopefully, he's enjoying life after the great years he had in WWE.


Anyway, TZK (Ken Cifer and Saint John Martin) will defend the WUW International Tag Team Championship for the first time at the event.  Their opponents will be a very familiar tag team in Philippines pro wrestling history.  

 

The Gemini Kings (R O M E O and Main Maxx) will be reuniting to take on TZK.

 

For those who are wondering about the two tag teams, here is some history regarding both teams.

 

TZK have been part of World Underground Wrestling - Philippines for several years.  Ken Cifer and Saint John Martin have trained together and probably have faced one other in matches.  Last month, at the 2023 Noche Buena Show, TZK won the WUW International Tag Team title from Zera and Umezawa.  Zera was a last minute replacement for Sansyu who was unable to fly in from Vietnam the day of the event.

 

The Gemini Kings were the last of the Philippine Wrestling Revolution tag team champions.  Under Main Maxx and SANDATA, the team won the PWR titles from The KakaiBros (Kh3ndrick & Mh4rckie) on January 26, 2020.  The event was held at the PMC Spotlight Theater in Makati.  The team would hold the belts until July 31 when they left PWR.  Per some info from Cagematch, Main Maxx and ROMEO have been a tag team since July 2019.

 

Regarding the weekend, this is the details I have so far.  On Saturday, March 23rd, there will be a Meet And Greet at Unbox Greenhills beginning at 12 noon.

 

On Sunday, March 24th, the show will take place at 6pm at the Brawl Pit Bulusan.  More on both the events will be in future posts.  Please check the Dexcon and World Underground Wrestling - Philippines pages for further updates.
