The Next Title Defense

It is about three months away from Manila Wrestling Federation's next event.  The event will be Kasaysayan on Sunday, April 14th.  It will take place at the UP Film Institute in Quezon City.

 

With Jake De Leon now as the two time - MWF Pinoy Wrestling Champion, this fan has been asked who his first opponent will be for the title.

 

I'm not a matchmaker here.  This blogger can say that "Danger" Rex Lawin did win the Number One Contenders match against Ho Ho Lun at Noche Buena.  Normally, that would be the next match.

 

Fabio Makisig deserves a return match for the belt.  I say this especially since he wasn't pinned by Jake De Leon.  He was pinned by Oro Plata Mata teammate, Main Maxx.

 

Main Maxx, being in the final pairing against Jake De Leon, deserves a title shot as well, especially how the match concluded.  For those that haven't seen it, the match, in its entirety is on You Tube.   Please check the Manila Wrestling Federation page, and more important, please subscribe!  There are close to 5,000 subscribers!

 

There are more wrestlers in line such as Dabid Ravena, Nigel San Jose, Kurt Jiminez, Robin Sane and more wanting to get a shot at the title.  When one is a champion, you are more likely to be hunted than being the hunter!

 

Back to Fabio and to Main Maxx for a moment, both have interesting situations going forward.  

 

Fabio likely has Danny Zamora on his mind.  Is Danny out of the stable after what happened at Noche Buena? 

 

With Main Maxx, it's perhaps more than one wrestler since he was a part of Oro Plata Mata.

 

However, recently, Main Maxx is reuniting with R O M E O as part of a tag team known as The Gemini Kings.  They will be wrestling in an event sponsored by Dexcon called Wrestle Storm in March.  Their opponents will be the WUW International Tag Team Champions in Saint John Martin and Ken Cifer.  Will one or both teams be a part of MWF going forward in 2024?

 

We will learn more in the next few weeks.

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.
