Puso Wrestling - Livestream 11 - Recap

The show kicks off with an ever-enthusiastic—Patricia Ligaia and Jomar hyping up the card and pushing the upcoming Sari Sari Slam. It’s a lighter lineup than usual, though. No Maxx, no Super Friends, no Otaku Alien, Zamora, Joya, or Crystal—so this one felt like a reset episode, focused more on developing some of the current midcard players.

Match 1: Solomon Liwanag vs. Chelsea Marie

Not long ago, these two were loosely aligned under the WUW Rage Tag Team banner. That familiarity showed early, as Marie took control straight out of the gate—tight snapmares, crisp boots, and a clean senton bomb to cap it off. Solomon tried to muscle his way back in with a power-based offense—kicks, punches, slams, all meat and potatoes.

Chelsea’s resilience held strong though, and when Solomon got desperate during a late pin exchange, she reversed straight into a snug leg lock for the submission win.

Post-match, she cut a quick promo into the camera before Hakai Mateo made a brief run-in attempt—though Solomon wisely slipped away.

As a TV opener, it did the job perfectly: simple story, clean pacing, and a clear winner. Wrestling needs more of this—solid, no-frills storytelling that gives the commentary team time to tell stories and the wrestlers time to get seen.

Barangay Baksakan & Gabriel Arkangel vs. Joya, Robin Sane & El Katipunero

This one felt like a who’s who of Puso regulars—a dream six-man tag on paper. Nigel San Jose and Sane opened with sharp chops and headlocks, trading control with some classic fundamentals. Sane’s trademark rope-running antics led to a few comical moments before tagging in Joya, who immediately ate a dragon suplex from Nigel. From there, Isaiah Valencia took over with a series of boots and elbows, tagging Arkangel in for some mat control.

Things broke down fast—El Katipunero hit his signature rolling counters, Sane and Katipunero worked a slick double team, and soon enough, all six men were trading bombs. The Barangay tandem delivered running forearms galore, and Nigel nailed an impactful flatliner to set up what looked like the finish.

Then came the mayhem—Ligaia grabbed Valencia’s foot, Sane fired up with flying kicks, Katipunero hit a big crossbody, and finally, Joya connected with a running cutter on Arkangel for the three-count.

Really good six-man action overall. Everyone looked sharp, and the match flowed well despite the chaos. My only gripe is Arkangel’s current direction—he’s supposed to be a deranged convict character, but here he came off like just another guy.

Jake De Leon vs. Hit

The main event had a special buzz. Even the Puso trainees and regulars were fired up to see Hit—who’s visibly bulked up—take on the always-smooth Jake De Leon.

They started with chain wrestling and tie-ups, but Hit’s new power advantage became clear fast. JDL adjusted by turning vicious—raking, stomping, and grinding Hit down with a chinlock. The beatdown pace let Jake’s methodical cruelty shine through, punctuated by the Rooster Peck for a close nearfall.

Hit fought back with quick roll-ups, a dropkick combo, and some surprising agility, forcing Jake to dig deep. A crane kick and cannonball nearly sealed it for JDL, but Hit caught him mid-setup, countered the Rooster Wings into a sliding lariat, then locked in a kimura. Jake powered out, hit a vertical suplex, and nailed the Flying Rooster Kick to finish it 1-2-3.

Post-match, Jake grabbed the mic and promised to defend his spot against those who claim to be Pinoy but are not, he isn't doing this for Pinoy wrestling either, it's all about him.

Livestream 11 wasn’t the flashiest card Puso’s put out, but it served a real purpose. It felt like a point plotting show—tight matches, good pacing, and just enough character work to build toward Sari Sari Slam.

Chelsea Marie looked strong, the six-man tag was fun and Jake De Leon once again showed why he’s the measuring stick of Filipino wrestling.
