IWA SETUP EP02 - Whiplash Update #5


Hello everyone.

 

IWA SETUP EP02's next show, Whiplash. will take place this coming Saturday, June 28th at The Circus Studio beginning at 5:30pm.

 

Apologies to everyone for not getting this out earlier.  There is one match added to the show since the last post.

 

In a Loser Leaves Town Special Singles match, two of my favorites in Southeast Asian pro wrestling, Steve The Teacher will go one on one against Kru Pol.

 

This match will definitely be interesting.  Steve The Teacher is the veteran wrestler who has wrestled in America, China, Philippines and now, Thailand.  He has wrestled several times now in SETUP shows.  This blogger had a chance to meet him back in August 2023, the day that he made his return to the squared circle after an absence due to the covid pandemic.

 

Kru Pol, not yet the veteran, but improving in the square circle, is younger, getting more experience with each match, and is looking to take this match to the next level.  I've talked briefly with Kru Pol and he's excited at this opportunity.    

 

Yes, they are both teachers in their own right but which one will pass the exam and go to the next level?  And which one will stay in Thailand after this encounter?

 

As of this post, General Admission tickets are still on sale.  Please visit the SETUP Thailand Pro Wrestling Facebook page for more information.  Thank you.

PUSO Wrestling Karera Show Update #1


Hello everyone.

 

PUSO Wrestling's next show, Karera, will take place on Sunday, July 6th at the Brawl Pit Bulusan, Quezon City, beginning at 6pm.

 

Since the last post a few days ago, three matches have been added to the show.

 

First and foremost, the SETUP Thailand 24/7 Championship will be on the line.  RGT's, Jake De Leon, the champion will take on Isaiah Valencia.  In this fan's mind, this will be Isaiah's biggest match in his young career.

 

Also, there will be a #1 Contender's match for the Pusong Pinoy Wrestling Championship in a five way encounter.  The participants will be Danny Zamora, Jomar, Fabio Makisig, Nigel San Jose and Crystal.

 

Also, Super Friends, Patricia Ligaia and El Kapitunero have issued an open challenge for a tag team match.  Who will step up and be their opponents?

 

Finally, already mentioned from the previous post, "The Red Lightning" - Robin Sane will face the Pusong Pinoy Wrestling Champion, Main Maxx for the title.

FPW Astig July Show Update #2


Hello everyone.

 

Filipino Pro Wrestling's next show, FPW Astig will take place on Sunday, July 13th, Baked Studios beginning at 2pm.

 

Since the last post, one match has been added to the show.  The Yolo Twins, in this fan's opinion as the best tag team in Southeast Asia, will have their hands full on this day.  They will take on Grapplemax Pro Wrestling Singapore's Big Dave and Julian Creed.  I believe for both wrestlers, this will be the first time in an FPW event.

 

Both wrestlers are very experienced in the ring.  Big Dave was the first Grapplemax singles champion with the promotion.

IWA SETUP EP02 - Whiplash Update #4


Hello everyone.

 

Since this blogger's last post, there have been two matches added for the Whiplash show.  The event will take place on Saturday, June 28th, The Circus Studio, G Village,  beginning at 5:30pm.

 

In a crucial match in the Uprising Series - Group B, Pondhub (2 pts) will take on Gunn (1 pt) in a 10 minute singles match.  Gunn needs to win the match outright to move on while Pondhub only needs to draw, or win of course.

 

In the other scheduled match, set up as a GM Terry Diesel Special Match, the challengers, Gatekeeper and Flame Drake will take on The Good Deal for the IWA Setup World Tag Team Championship.

 

Tickets are still available for the show as of this post.  Please visit the SETUP Thailand Pro Wrestling Facebook page for more information.  Thank you.
