SPW: Hardcore Island 2 Update #3

Hello everyone.

Let's update all of the matches regarding SPW's show, Hardcore Island 2: A Fine City.  The event is to be held at the Foo Chow Building on Friday, August 16 beginning at 7:30 pm.

Since the last post, a couple of matches have been added.  

Zhan Wen, from Australia, will take on Riz in one match.  Zhan Wen just recently won a two on one handicap match at the Malaysia Pro Wrestling show last Saturday night.

Another match will feature Emman against CK Vin in a chairs match.

In a Loser Gets Caned match, Referee Ryan (yes, a referee!) will take on Bryson Blade.  I've seen just one caned match on You Tube and getting caned isn't something to be the recipient of.

Jack N' Cheese will take on the Gym Bros in an Open Challenge tag team match.

Finally, a women's Triple Threat Match will feature Alexis Lee vs. Miyu Yamashita vs. Kaya Toribami.  This will, no doubt, be a wild match for everyone to see.  Alexis Lee just came off a win at the Malaysia Pro Wrestling show this past Saturday.

For more on tickets, please visit the SPW Facebook page.  Thank you.

Gatoh Move Upcoming Show

Want to let everyone know that this blogger is enjoying the Philippines visit a whole bunch!  So much has happened in such a short time.  Have talked with several pinoy wrestling fans already and watched Summerslam with a friend of mine (which was one of the best 'Slams ever!).  

And being here when the Paris Olympics is going on and seeing Carlos Yulo getting Gold twice in Gymnastics!  Amazing!  Nesthy and Aira are still competing for medals!  And then there's my favorite in the pole fault in RJ Obiena!  I got to see him live last year in a huge track and field meet at the Prefontaine Classic!  All the best to all three athletes.  You are making this country proud and we are all seeing history!

Sorry I got away from pro wrestling momentarily.  However, the latest bit of pro wrestling news needs to be posted and fast.

Homegrown pinoy pro wrestler, Jake De Leon will be traveling to Japan later this month for a show put on by Gatoh Move (also known as ChocoPro).  He will be the first pinoy pro wrestler to wrestle in Tokyo's, Korauken Hall!  This is a great honor for any wrestler, especially from outside Japan.

JDL wrestled last month in Malaysia and nearly took the Ambition Global Heavyweight Title from Shaukat in the main event of their show.  He gave Shaukat all he could handle before the latter escaped with the win.

Jake will be teaming up with SPWs, Dr. Gore (w/UMA) and Antonio Honda against three other teams.  Notables such as Shivam and Monomoth of SETUP Thailand will also be on the show.

The thing that really stands out, besides the talent at the event, is the fact that the show will take place at Korauken Hall.  The arena is a short walk from the Tokyo Dome and is the mecca for pro wrestling in Japan.  New Japan Pro Wrestling has hosted many shows there.

The event, For The Future, will take place on Saturday, August 31st beginning at 11:30 am.  Doors open at 10:45am.

I know that one wrestling fan, and friend of mine, will be in Japan, and hopefully at the show.  For those that are interested in seeing this event, please visit the Gatoh Move Pro Wrestling Facebook page.  There is a recent post where you can possibly get tickets.  Thank you.

Thank You Sponsors

This blogger has been in the Philippines now for the past 48 hours.  Each visit has always been a little better and more memorable than the previous one.  This post is a bit long, but important.

Wanted to take time to mention about PUSO Wrestling.  Since the end of the Dexcon Decada show in late May, it is fantastic how PUSO Wrestling has put things together in such a short time.

Everyone on the roster is determined to see this work, and work the right way.  Though this blogger hasn't been in the country to see what is happening, what has transpired over the past eight to nine weeks is no surprise.  No one on this roster wanted to see things go the other way, and that was for pinoy wrestling to fade away (in my words).

Determination is a positive, especially when everyone in the promotion is on the same page.  Certainly, this fan has the sense that the pinoy wrestling fans feel the same way.  This blogger has messaged several fans and each one feel the same way as I do.  

There will always be people who will doubt what is happening.  However, I have never felt that with this roster, and the people behind the scenes.

Want to give a huge than you to those that are sponsoring this show.  All of you love pro wrestling, particularly pinoy wrestling as much, if not more than myself.  This blogger, the pinoy wrestling fans and PUSO Wrestling appreciates this a lot.

Some fans may wonder why that this blogger wants to sponsor this show and the future.  I'll be as brief as possible on this.

Being a wrestling fan of 56 years (yes, I'm old!), this blogger has always wanted to give a little something back to pro wrestling that it's been given to me.  I decided on this during the Covid pandemic.

My first wrestling show outside of North America was in December 2022.  Nearly two years and, soon to be five more wrestling shows, there's something magical happening at a wrestling show in Metro Manila.  

More important, the pinoy wrestling fans who have followed this roster over the years, deserve to see them in two weeks, and hopefully beyond.  The roster deserves this opportunity as well.  In closing, this blogger will do what he can to help the cause.

I will see some of you in the upcoming days, and of course at the Unang Tibok show on Saturday, August 17th!  The show is at the Brawl Pit Bulusan beginning at 6pm.  

Tickets are still available for the show.  Just learned that General Admission tickets are sold out.  VIP and SVIP tickets are still available!  

By all means, if you are planning to go, please don't wait until the last second!  Please visit PUSO Wrestling's Facebook page for more information.  If you know anyone that would like to sponsor the upcoming show, please email PUSO Wrestling at pusowrestling@gmail.com for details.  Thank you.
