Hello everyone!
In my two years plus of watching Southeast Asia wrestling live, there have been some good shows, and definitely some good matches.
Certainly, my first show, MWF's Noche Buena in December 2022 will always be special. The Jake De Leon vs Fabio Makisig match had this blogger on the end of his seat.
There was also the four way women's match at the 2023 Noche Buena show that was really good. It elevated the Pinay wrestling scene in the Philippines where it has a great future.
The Dexcon show that I went to in August 2023 at the Brawl Pit Bulusan was a real good one with top quality matches.
Then, there was the first PUSO Wrestling show this past August. It was amazing that a show was put together in a couple of months time. As always, kudos to the promotion. It was a historical and enjoyable night of action.
Back in August 2023, I was fortunate to see my first Filipino Pro Wrestling show at Circuit Makati. It was the company's first year in operation.
There were several good matches that afternoon/evening. The Mike Madrigal-Duke Ortega FPW Title match was good. The Yolo Twins vs. Evan Carleaux-Cali Nueva tag team encounter was good as well.
The main event between Ralph Imabayashi and Robbie Eagles had the fans and myself in a fever pitch at the PMC Spotlight Theater. I remembered Imabayashi wondering if he felt he could still wrestle effectively prior to the match.
All this wrestling blogger can say is that the match was one of the best I had seen in several years. The match had a lot of excitement, actual wrestling and more. The fans were standing at the end of the match. Certainly, Ralph proved to those at PMC that he is still effective!
When saying this, it includes local independent promotions, New Japan Pro Wrestling, AEW and WWE house shows that I've been to in the Bay Area.
As a wrestling fan and blogger, it is appreciative what wrestlers like Ralph, Robbie, Jake, Fabio and others do on not only on the day of the event, but the workouts leading up to it.
At the same time, I'll continue to post entries on the various wrestling promotions throughout the Southeast Asia region. The wrestlers and fans deserve this from this blogger. I have some ideas regarding the future of the blog and will share them early next month.
Regarding future wrestling shows, am looking forward to the New Japan Pro Wrestling show in San Jose this coming January. The fact that Zack Sabre Jr. is planning to be there is one of the reasons.
After that, I have some thinking and saving to do....
Happy Holidays everyone! Please be safe out there.
