Memorable Two Days

Cody Rhodes at WWE World on The Pat McAfee Show.

 

Normally, this post is for Southeast Asia wrestling but today, this blogger has made an exception.  Hopefully, everyone will understand.

 

The last two days with Wrestlemania 40 in Philadelphia was epic.  This blogger cannot say enough about the matches presented.  I'm grateful enough to have seen all 40 Wrestlemanias with one of them, WM31 live!  A couple of friends of mine who were there, said "The City Of Brotherly Love" was excellent to them during their five days there.

 

Besides the 14 matches (yes, we need to count Damian Priest's cash in as a match), there are two things that stick out in this fan's mind.

 

#1.  This blogger can relate to Cody and the relationship with his dad.  My father passed away at a younger age than Cody and am sure that the love for my dad was every bit as strong as in Cody's case.  "Finishing The Story" was something I was behind as a fan from Day One!  It had nothing to do with Paul Heyman, Roman and The Bloodline.  Their storyline needed to happen because of the pandemic.  This fan will always thank WWE and the faction for that.  However, there needed to be a new chapter or era.  Enough there.

 

#2.  This blogger will always love pro wrestling!  Yes, Michael Cole said it!  And everyone that I saw on social media have said it!

 

For those reading this, whether in America, or the nearly 190 countries that now have read at least one blog post.  The reason for a Southeast Asia wrestling blog is because of all wrestling fans, whether in Southeast Asia or elsewhere.

 

Following pro wrestling for 56 years now, the time has never been better.  Let's enjoy it while we have it!  

MWF Kasaysayan 2023 Flashback

Hello everyone.

 

As part of the ten year anniversary of the modern day Philippines wrestling, here were the results of last year's MWF Kasaysayan event.  The venue was the Fitness Playground PH. on Sunday, March 5th. 

Danny Zamora d. Main Maxx.

Nigel San Jose and Fabio Makisig d. Jake De Leon and Ken Warren.

Crystal d. Aaron Liwanag.

Fabio Makisig d. Migs Valdez in a non title bout.

Jake de Leon d. Ken Warren in Jake's 100th career match.

Chilly Willy Wrestling Cup:

Ken Cifer d. Zera.

Razael d. Ace Clark.

Dabid Ravena d. Pablo Salvacion.

El Kapitunero d. Dante Guinoo.

Ken Cifer d. Razael.

Dabid Ravena d. El Kapitunero

Ken Cifer d. Dabid Ravena.

Sunny Z vs. Bro. Jonar Liwanag.

 

 

There were a lot of memories that happened that day.  First off, this was the first MWF event of the year, and it happened at the Fitness Playground PH., I believe for the first time.

 

 

The first Chilly Willy Wrestling Cup took place with Ken Cifer winning it.  There were a total of 13 matches that day, probably a Manila Wrestling Federation record for one show.

 

 

Fabio Makisig would wrestle in a match for the first time after winning the MWF Pinoy Wrestling Championship.

 

 

Jake De Leon would wrestle his tag team partner, Ken Warren in what would be Jake's 100th wrestling match.  Also, the event would be the last time that Ken Warren would wrestle in the Philippines.  Ken is now living in Canada and still wrestling for a promotion currently. 

SETUP Thailand Clash Of The Titans Update #1

Hello everyone.

 

SETUP Thailand's next show is EP18: Clash Of The Titans.  The event will take place on Saturday, May 25th at 6:30pm.  The venue is The Circus Studio.

 

There have been several matches already lined up for the show.

 

Shivam will take on "The Statement" Andruew Tang in what has been described as a Hell In A Cell Bra And Panties match.  Yes, that is what SETUP Thailand's page on Facebook says.

 

Also, Matcha, the SETUP Thailand All Asia Women's Champion will take on Monomoth and Mizuki from TJPW in a triple threat match.

 

There will also be a number one contender's match for the IWA Japan SETUP World Tag Team Championship.  Mr. Suchart will take on Ho Ho Lun in a singles match.  If either wrestler wins, the wrestler along with the tag team partner of his choice will face CDK (Chris Brookes and Masa Takanashi) sometime later in 2024 for the IWA Championship.

 

For more information including tickets, please check the SETUP Thailand Pro Wrestling page in Facebook.  Thank you.

VPW: Saigon Slam Update #1

Vietnam Pro Wrestling's next event will be VPW: Saigon Slam.  The event will take place on Saturday, May 4th at the VAIB Studio beginning at 7pm.

 

There has already been one match made for the show, and it is a challenge.

 

Chi Bao, who defeated former VPW Openweight Champion, Damien Wolfe on the last show, will take on Khoa Truong in a loser leave VPW match.

 

Things regarding Chi Bao became real interesting this past Saturday night.  All hell broke loose at Soma Saigon during a live taping of a comedy podcast.  The British Horror was a guest that evening during the taping. 

 

Since I wasn't at the last show, and didn't see the stream, since there wasn't one, there is a reel on the Vietnam Pro Wrestling page on Facebook.

 

The British Horror, after making a poor comment about comedy in Vietnam, replied to a comment made by Chi Bao bu throwing water at him.  A brawl ensued with Chi Bao being escorted out of the taping.

 

Certainly, the war between Chi Bao, Khoa Truong and The British Horror is far from over!
