Singapore Pro Wrestling GM, Carl Hella has scheduled a Singapore vs. Malaysia mixed tag team match for their upcoming show. SPW Clash At The Club 3 will take place at the Balmoral Plaza ION Club on Friday, March 28th beginning at 7:30pm.
Can Alexis Lee & The Statement put their differences aside from the last SPW show and defeat Malaysia Pro Wrestling's best mixed team of Poppy & The Wonderboy?

TOP Dojo (Thailand) will be having their first show of 2025 this coming Sunday, March 16th. The venue is the Motorway Dojo near the Hua Mak Airport Station beginning at 12:30pm.
The feature match will be Golem Thai of Bad Company against the King Of Thai Wrestling Champion, Prince Benny of Revolution Squad. This is a non title, singles match or a 20 minute time limit. This blogger got a clarification since the last post.
The last time the two went one-on-one was last August at the Reinforce show. Prince Benny came out the winner that time. In 2022, at the same Reinforce show, it was Golem Thai coming out on top in Prince Benny's debut match according to Cagematch.
It will be interesting to see what happens this time. for tickets, please visit the TOP Dojo - Thailand Origin Pro Wrestling Facebook page. Thank you.
From watching my first wrestling show on television in 1968, pro wrestling is successful for it's storylines. The San Francisco Bay Area would depend on a television station for this. Every Friday night at 9pm, KTVU television would show 60 minutes of wrestling. There would be four matches, four interviews, commercials, and chaos at times. Storylines would develop in order for them to develop at a major show at the Cow Palace once every three to five weeks time. That was how The Territory Era was. There was no internet. It was television, newspaper ads, and wrestling magazines.
Here it is 57 years later, in the New Era. Doing a blog on Southeast Asia Pro Wrestling promotions, one promotion in Norway and one in Australia, it is slightly different but still effective. Today, social media such as Facebook, Instagram, X, Discord, Twitch and You Tube are among the tools. Streaming platforms have greatly helped as well. The promotions I cover are independent so, like in North America, a television station will likely not cover an event.
Yet, storylines are every bit as effective today, if not better than when I first began watching. Also, cutting a promo is an important factor to assist with the storyline.
In the last several months, each promotion that I've covered has had good storylines in their shows. This blogger has seen the efforts of the promotion. Because of this, and the improvement of wrestlers, shows are selling out constantly. It's good to see, especially when a publication like Pro Wrestling Illustrated talks about a promotion and/or wrestlers from time to time.
Lately, this blogger has checked out five promotions in particular. SETUP Thailand Pro Wrestling, Norges Wrestleforbund (Norway), Vietnam Pro Wrestling, Grapplemax (Singapore) and Filipino Pro Wrestling have had some interesting storylines among them.
That being said, please check out all of them, whatever country you live in. Certainly, this blogger does. The year 2025 has started out wild and unpredictable throughout the industry. Wrestling fans would likely agree there.

Hello everyone.
Recently, this blogger began doing a series on some wrestlers that are on promotions that this blog covers. The Alexis Lee story was well promoted and in a way that was very positive in nature. The next one will be about someone that some readers don't know of. However, you'll know a little more after reading this.
A few months ago, this blogger became friends on Facebook with a wrestler by the name of Kym. I'm not sure how we met exactly. However, he's been a major part of reading the blog and contributing in a big way.
Kym was born in Thailand and now lives in Oslo, Norway. He started training as a pro wrestler back in April 2022. It was right at the time when the Norwegian Wrestling Federation (Norges Wrestleforbund), the top promotion in Norway, resumed their shows once again. This was due to the Covid-19 outbreak that affected promotions worldwide.
A little over a year later, The Asian Dragon (per the announcer) made his wrestling debut in an event in Bergen. Amazingly that day, Kym wrestled twice (a singles match and part of a 10-man tag team encounter).
Kym continued to wrestle mostly in singles competition until around May 2024. This is when the team, Inferno was born. Kym would team up with Rayo Flores, a wrestler born in Argentina, and the excitement would just begin.
This blogger had a chance to watch a You Tube video of Inferno in action against Hjertebank (Heartbeat in English). The fans, at the Sagene Festival House in Oslo, were electric when they entered the ring that day. They would win the first round match. Unfortunately, they would lose a Triple Threat match for the NWF Tag Team Titles later that day. However, the feeling was that it was only a matter of time when the fans would see gold around their waists!
In November at NWF's major event, Powerslam XXI in Oslo, Inferno would get their redemption. This blogger has seen clips of the match. The sellout crowd of around 600 fans that night would see Kym, along with Rayo Flores win the NWF Tag Team Belts in a Triple Threat rematch from back in May. The fans were electric that night!
Though losing to Hovedstaden for the belts in January, Kym, along with Rayo, are looking for redemption sometime in 2025. Looking at the future, Kym is definitely exciting to watch. He's young, energetic and works well whether it's in singles or tag team competition. He, as well as Rayo have a great future ahead. If this fan was a wrestler, Kym would definitely be my partner anytime!
