Steve The Teacher At The SETUP show

From left to right, Ken Cifer (WUW-PH and PUSO Wrestling), this blogger and Steve The Teacher (also known as AFAM Steve).  This was at a Meet And Greet which was fun and memorable! 

 

A couple of years ago, August 2023 to be exact, this blogger saw his first Dexcon/WUW Philippines show while vacationing.

 

It was a great show with wrestlers from throughout Southeast Asia wrestling that night.  The Brawl Pit Bulusan in Quezon City was very close to sold out.  This was given the fact that there was a wrestling show one day before at Circuit Makati, a few kilometers south.

 

I got to meet a few wrestlers that day including Steve The Teacher (picture above).  During the unfortunate Covid era, had a chance to learn more about him through video of his time with Middle Kingdom Wrestling in China.  After this session, and the match with Ken at the show, it was more impressing.  Steve The Teacher hadn't wrestled in a match in over two years that night.  However, it didn't look like he had any ring rust from the encounter.

 

Steve has several books that he's written including one called Class In Session.  It is a must read for any wrestling fan.  You can get a copy through Amazon.

 

Moving forward, Steve has wrestled several times since, including the most recent SETUP Thailand show last November.  Mikey Wild, one of the participants in the Rumble match, took advantage, and tossed Steve over the top rope.  It ended any opportunity for a victory in which Benji came out the winner.

 

I've never see Mikey Wild in action, but on video only.  He's definitely an unpredictable presence in the ring.  

 

However, Steve The Teacher has redemption coming.  The two will face off on Saturday, January 18th in a Homeroom Death Match at the SETUP Thailand Bangkok Navigation show.  

 

This blogger doesn't know the full meaning of this but am sure this won't be exactly a wrestling match.  I'm sure the wrestling fans at The Circus Studio will be wide awake when these two go at it.

 

Tickets, other than the first row, are still available.  For more on this match and the other six matches, please visit the SETUP Thailand Pro Wrestling Facebook page.  Thank you.

SPW Champions Never Yield 3 Is SOLD OUT!

Hello everyone!

The event will take place this Friday at the Foo Chow Building in Singapore.  It begins at 7:30pm with the doors opening at 7pm.

 

Seven matches, including four championship ones, highlight the show.  Looks like a great start for wrestling in Singapore and all of Southeast Asia.

Bayley In The House

Hello everyone.

Last night while NXT was on a commercial break, this blogger turned over to the NHL Sharks game.

 

It's nice anytime when a wrestler takes the time out of their schedule to appear anywhere, even a sporting event.

 

The above photo (taken from my cell) is WWE's Bayley being interviewed by Sharks announcer, Drew Remenda.  This blogger knows quite a bit about Bayley.  Whenever her schedule permits, she often attends Sharks and 49er games in the San Jose area.  Also, 49ers tight end, George Kittle will often attend WWE shows in the Bay Area.  

 

However, I was impressed with the knowledge Drew Remenda had about pro wrestling.  He knows WWE pretty well but also talked about famous Canadian born wrestlers as Bret Hart and Edge last night.

 

Thought I would share this with everyone though its not necessarily SEA wrestling.
