WrestleStorm 2 Update #3

Hello everyone!

 

We have another announcement to make regarding WrestleStorm 2 scheduled for Sunday, March 16th.  The show will take place at the Brawl Pit Bulusan beginning at 6pm.

 

If you thought yesterday's announcement was a shocker, wait until you see what is mentioned for today.

 

Once again, conspicuous by the absence of Dexcon Match Maker, Linus, according to the Dexcon - DXCN Facebook page, a huge announcement has been made.

 

The team of Mei Suruka and Akki known as Best Bros will be coming to the Philippines and the Brawl Pit Bulusan.  They are well known in team in Japan.

 

For those of you who do not know who the two wrestlers are, here is a little background.  My apologies if this is a little long.

 

Mei Suruga is a Japanese female wrestler that is part of ChocoPro.  Also, she works for Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling and with DDT.  She was trained by Emi Sakura, one of the greats and a familiar name in Southeast Asia.  I saw a quote once about her that said "every time she makes an appearance, she lights up the venue!"

 

Akki (and hopefully I have this correct because this is the only one I know ) goes by the full name of Baliyan Akki.  The Indian born wrestler started his career with Wrestle Square.  He would become part of ChocoPro in 2017, a couple of years later.  He has made appearances in several of the Japanese promotions as well as briefly in North America.

 

Along with Mei Suruga, the team known as Best Bros, won the Asia Dream Tag Team Championship at an event known as ChocoPro 76 on December 31, 2020.

 

The blogger, almost forgot, but they will be facing a team according to the Dexcon - DXCN Facebook page,  who’ve been sending signals across the galaxy… of Asia!  However, the name of the team has not yet been officially been named.....

 

Let me see now.....there was a team that, last Sunday at the end of the PUSO Wrestling Livestream III show, would take on anyone in the Philippines, or Southeast Asia, or anywhere on the planet!  

 

My suggestion would be to check out the PUSO Wrestling Livestream III video on You Tube and your answer is very likely at the end of the video.  Since the name of the team wasn't officially on Dexcon's post, this blogger will not name the team.  However, it is assumed that the team is Super Friends from PUSO Wrestling.  Again, it is not official as of this post.

Who's The Match Maker?

Hello everyone.

 

For those of you following the latest Dexcon pro wrestling  announcement, things happened very quickly in the last 24 hours.  However, let's look back at how all of this began.

 

Linus Santos is the Match Maker for Dexcon events.  As this blogger has mentioned before, he has been on top of all Dexcon events since Dexcon began doing shows in August 2023.

 

Miguel Navarro, a great pinoy wrestling fan since World Underground Wrestling - Philippines began in 2019, was promoted to WUW-PH Match Maker just a little over a week ago.

 

A few days ago, there was a delay regarding an announcement by Linus.  It had something to do about a basketball situation in America.  Something like a team in Los Angeles.  Something like the Lakers.  Something like a General Manager who had a trade rescinded.  Well, the announcement was supposed to be made last weekend but was delayed.  Or was the announcement was that the announcement would be delayed?

 

Well, the weekend went by and nothing further happened.  This blogger received a tip that something was going to happen and to be ready for it.

 

That was when Miguel, checking in from Japan, made the huge announcement.  It was announced by the "Dexcon team" in Miguel's words regarding the tag team match.  Yoshi Tatsu and Jake De Leon will take on the team of Fabio Makisig and Jomar.

 

Linus, when learning of the news, was let's say, not happy of what happened.  This brings up some very interesting conversation.

 

Can Linus cancel the match since he's the Dexcon Match Maker?  

 

Did Miguel pull a fast one on Linus and provided something that the fans would like to see because of Linus's delay?

 

Before I go on here, this blogger is not a Match Maker.  And, though I am a wrestling fan, I will not take sides on the matter.  The blog is interested in the facts.  I will say that Linus is the Match Maker for Dexcon.  

 

At the same time, it is the opinion of this blogger, that pro basketball issues in another country has nothing to do with pro wrestling in Southeast Asia!  Does Linus have the final say on decisions as a Match Maker or is it the Dexcon team?

 

It is also the opinion of this blogger, that a Match Maker of another promotion doesn't override someone to promote an additional match.  In the defense of Miguel, did the Dexcon team give him the right to promote the match or does Linus have the final authority?   

 

Well, I don't know who is the Match Maker here.  There are a lot of questions to be answered here.  However, since this my blog, I would like to hear from you, the fans!  What would you like to see?  Now, here's your chance to provide some feedback.  Here are the following scenarios.

 

1.  I would like to see the tag team match between Jake De Leon and Yoshi Tatsu vs. Fabio Makisig.

 

2.  Linus should cancel the match and make another decision.

 

3.  Other.  

 

Since anomynous in answering these scenarios on my blog is not the best way, please Facebook message me with a number anytime.  This way, it would be easier.  Also, your name will not be mentioned when tallying.  If your answer is other or #3, please share what your alternative to #1 and #2 is. 

 

While the two Match Makers decide what course of action that is going to be taken here, it would be interesting what the fans think.  Remember, wrestling IS for the fans.

 

Enough said!

SETUP Thailand Major Announcment

Hello everyone!

 

A few hours ago, SETUP Thailand Pro Wrestling made an announcement that is separate from the IWA Japan Tournament that began last month at the Bangkok Navigation show.  To this blogger's knowledge, the IWA Japan Tournament is still ongoing for the March show.

 

Here is the announcement that was posted a few hours ago on SETUP Thailand's Facebook page.

 

 

 [OFFICIAL] SETUP ‘UPRISING SERIES’ 2025 : Group division tournament of young wrestlers, winning cups and the right to win the first place in Thai wrestling championship.

.

#SETUPTH As wrestling fans have seen, SETUP has many new wrestlers and many more students who are waiting to wrestle officially. We discussed with all stakeholders to the conclusion that we should organize a tournament to give them an opportunity to showcase their skills. And the prize for the winner should be big enough to be called the ‘moment of a lifetime opportunity’.

.

Because we believe that even the experience of a wrestler is important, but wrestling comes with the word 'anything can happen'. This tournament may be the 'beginning' of a new legend that will happen to the Thai wrestling world in the near future.

.

Let's get ready for this tournament fun !
