Filipino Pro Wrestling Power Ratings

 


Hello everyone.

 

Filipino Pro Wrestling announced a few hours ago, what appears to be their first FPW Power Ratings.  This is something similar to what Pro Wrestling Illustrated magazine does once each issue.

 

Since this blogger has not been to an FPW show since August 2023, and has talked with various fans who have been to FPW shows, FPW appears to have this correct.  Jeff Cobb, the FPW Champion, should be automatically number one.  If my math is correct, Quatro was 4-1 overall (including tag matches) while Mike Madrigal was 3-2 overall (including tag matches).  Some people may feel that Mike should be number two because he lost to someone outside the promotion.  This fan is mixed on this issue.

 

Chino Guinto, Robynn and Cali Nueva round out the top five contenders for the title.  Duke Ortega, in my mind, should be considered in the top five as well.  Again, this is a judgment call.

 

One day, and hopefully the roster will get bigger, this blogger would like to see The Yolo Twins mentioned more.  They are a great team with great chemistry.  Seeing them back in 2023, they are the premier tag team in all of Southeast Asia!  Will write more about this team in the weeks to come!

APAC Rage In A Cage Update #1


Hello everyone!

 

APAC Wrestling (Malaysia) has their next show, Rage In A Cage on Sunday, February 23rd.  The location is The Cage, Lalaport in Kuala Lumpur.

 

The APAC Women's Champion, Nor Phoenix Diana, will take on Cassidy Knight in a return match from last November's show, APAC New Chapter.

 

The rules are different this time.  The rules for this match are the following: Victory can only be achieved by pinfall, submission or forcing your opponent out of the cage.  Escaping the cage on your own means being defeated!

 

Also, there was a match last night between Serigala and Double K.  This fan doesn't know who won but the match electrified the fans in attendance.  The event was the Samarahan Muay Thai Challenge 2025 in Kuching, Sawarak, roughly 1000 kilometers from APAC's home base in the Kuala Lumpur area.

 

For more information on the upcoming show including tickets, please visit the APAC Wrestling Facebook page.  Thank you.

A Great Women's Champion

Hello everyone.

 

Back in August 2023, this blogger had an opportunity to meet one of the greatest female wrestlers, not only in Southeast Asia but throughout the world.

 

It was the Dexcon Meet And Greet show at the Brawl Pit Bulusan.  I had read about Alexis Lee going back to my early days following Southeast Asia pro wrestling.  This fan had just finished paying for a ticket and souvenirs when we met.  She was very cordial and nice, something that was really cool.

 

She is still young in age but has wrestled in Southeast Asia now for 11 years.  What is more impressing is with her frame (which is 5'5" and 108 pounds), she has definitely been able to hold her own in a wrestling ring.  She's athletic and moves around quickly in the squared circle.

 

Alexis has held four championships in her career.  The title that she has held the longest is the CWE Vixen's Championship.  It's a title that she has held for a whopping 2438 days, or close to seven years.  She won the title, not in Southeast Asia, but Orlando. Florida against Amber Nova.  The title has been defended in several countries such as the Philippines, China, South Korea, Malaysia and her home country, Singapore.

 

When this fan saw her live, she was defending the SPW Queen Of Asia Title in a fatal four way match successfully.  And she wasn't done either.  Alexis became a special guest referee in a Dark Eight Person Tag Team match that ended the show.  She handled the duties as if she had been doing it for years.

 

On a certain website, this blogger has seen the comments that says she's overrated.  I'm sorry but people who make these comments probably have never stepped into a ring or a mat format.  I'd like to see if they would have a chance against a great one!

 

For the fans in Singapore, you will see Alexis Lee in action in the next SPW Unchained Show on Friday, March 7th.  She will be teaming with Da Butcherman against Andruew Tang and Yuki Kamifuku in a tag team match.  Hopefully, those that read this will get their tickets and see her in action!
