On Saturday, August 31st, the promotion will celebrate it's 15th anniversary. Details at the moment are small, but wrestlers from Hong Kong, China and Mexico will take part in the show.
Please check back on the Hong Kong Pro Wrestling Federation (HKWF) Facebook page for future information and announcements. Thank you.
Want to talk about WWE for a moment. This year, the WWE has done PLE shows in more countries than ever before. This is really no accident since the company wants to be more global than ever.
This past weekend, WWE and NXT took the show to Toronto, Ontario (Canada) to sellout indoor crowds of near 20,000. The Scotiabank Arena was the place to be this past weekend.
Next weekend, WWE will do two shows on the south side of America. Mexico's - Mexico City and Monterrey will have two Super Show events on Saturday / Sunday, July 13-14. The promotion was in Mexico last year before sellout crowds and it appears that WWE is at a fever pitch this time!
Since I do posts on Southeast Asia wrestling, recently, I've thought about sending WWE an e-mail regarding an Asia and Australia tour. European tours are good and the fans in Scotland, England and Germany have responded big time!
Having a show in Australia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, China and Malaysia would be great, not only for the wrestling fans of the countries mentioned, but the promotions themselves.
Let me draft a letter or e-mail and see what can be done here.....
Before going any further, please be patient since this post is a bit long. My apologies but will try harder to shorten future posts!
There was an invite event (yes, this blogger received an invite!) from a new promotion. An announcement was made a few weeks ago that PUSO Wrestling has been formed! Pinoy Wrestling Night, which was the invite, would take place at the Brawl Pit Bulusan in Quezon City.
Because of obligations, and a soon-to-happen vacation in the Philippines, I wasn't able to attend that night. However, this blogger wanted to go badly. With the announcement that PUSO Wrestling having a show possibly in August, hopefully when there in August, there will be a show.
Rowen, along with Emile, Stan, Romeo and Chino are great wrestling fans. I haven't been on their podcasts live of late (but will very soon!). Their knowledge is superb, whether at the local scene, or world wide. Rowen's description of the Pinoy Wrestling Night gave the fans a picture of what happened that evening. Here were the results of matches from the show...
Mani Maxx d. Dabid Ravena and Danny Zamora in a three way match.
Super Friends (Super P and Patricia Ligaia) d. Isaiah Valencia and Joey Rosas.
Jake De Leon d. Chelsea Marie.
Fabio Makisig and Joya d. Aaron Liwanag and The Acolyte.
Nigel "Suplex" San Jose d. El Kapitunero.
Rowen mentioned that Nigel San Jose cut a promo after the match. He mentioned that the wrestlers missed the pinoy wrestling fans since April when MWF closed shop. The show ended with the name of the new promotion, PUSO Wrestling.
There are two things this blogger wishes to do here.
First, here is the link to The Wrestling-Wrestling Podcast. Thank you to Rowen for this post. It is really appreciated here. Hopefully the Pinoy Wrestling fans enjoy the content of the podcasts that is produced. Please support the podcast in any way.

Second, the link to PUSO Wrestling is below the final paragraph. Right now, there has been a brief announcement that the promotion will have a show in August. Please be on the lookout regarding the date, time and location of the pilot show. In advance, congratulations to PUSO Wrestling on the huge announcement! The promotion needs our support. Please like and follow their page!
This blogger will do his best to continue and support Pinoy Wrestling, now, and moving forward. All the best to both entities! Thank you.
