SETUP Thailand Announces "Under The Same Moon", Billed As The Largest Gathering Of Wrestlers In Thai History
Pumi's 15th Anniversary Show lands at The Circus Studio, Bangkok on Saturday 29 August 2026, with partner promotions from across Southeast Asia invited to the party.
SETUP Thailand Pro Wrestling has announced what may be the most ambitious show the country has ever attempted. Under The Same Moon, staged as the Pumi 15th Anniversary Show, will run at The Circus Studio in Bangkok on Saturday 29 August 2026, and the promotion is openly billing it as a Mega Event featuring the largest gathering of professional wrestlers in Thai wrestling history.
That is a big claim, but it comes with a big framing. This is not simply an anniversary card for one man. It is being presented as a reunion of an entire regional network, built around a story that goes back fifteen years.
The 2011 Origin Story
The announcement opens by going right back to the beginning. In 2011, Emi Sakura travelled to Thailand and met Pumi, real name Prachaphoom Boonyatud, and the two found they shared the same idea: that Thailand could support a professional wrestling industry of its own.
What followed is one of the more remarkable footnotes in modern joshi history. Gatoh Move Pro Wrestling was founded in Thailand in 2012, a Japanese promotion born on Thai soil, and the groundwork laid in those years is what SETUP now describes as the foundation Thai wrestling has been building on ever since.
Anyone who has followed Gatoh Move, and later ChocoPro, will know how far that experiment travelled. What is easy to forget is that the Thai side of the story never stopped. Pumi kept going, and fifteen years later he is the anchor of a promotion that regularly hosts talent from every corner of Southeast Asia.
What "Under The Same Moon" Means
The show title comes with a statement of intent that is worth reading in full, because it is unusually reflective for a wrestling announcement.
SETUP describes every wrestler as a passing landscape along the road. Some encounters are breathtaking, some are ordinary, but all of them leave something behind, and some happen only once in a lifetime.
The promotion then acknowledges the harder part of a fifteen year journey. Some companions have left the path entirely. Some have become impossible to reach. Others were forced to give up on the dream through injury, while some went on to real success and now inspire the next generation.
The conclusion is the hook: wherever those journeys ended up, everyone is still living under the same moon, still chasing their own version of the dream, still betting that refusing to quit eventually leads somewhere worth being proud of.
For a regional scene that has lost promotions, venues and rosters over the last decade, and has kept rebuilding anyway, it is a theme that lands.
Who Might Be Coming?
SETUP has confirmed that the event is made possible through collaboration with numerous partner promotions across Southeast Asia who have "walked this journey together for more than a decade". No names have been attached yet. So let us speculate, with the usual disclaimer that none of the following is confirmed and we are reading tea leaves here.
Could Real Global Threat allies like Jake De Leon, Emman Azman or The Statement return? Perhaps we will see some more surprising returns from Grapplemax talent, or even an APAC Wrestling connection resurfacing. Maybe more Vietnamese up and comers will make the trip, or another eager young name out of DEXCON.
Read the announcement carefully and the shape of the card is already implied. A fifteenth anniversary built on the theme of who stayed, who left and who came back is a card designed for returns and reunions as much as fresh matchups. Expect at least one name nobody has seen in a Thai ring for years.

Fifteen years is a long time in a scene where promotions can disappear inside eighteen months. That Pumi is still standing, still promoting, and now assembling the biggest roster Thailand has ever put in one building, is the story here regardless of who ends up on the card.
SETUP's closing line in the announcement is a statement of faith rather than a boast: that Thai professional wrestling has a bright future, and that they firmly believe they will see it become reality within their lifetime.
See you on 29 August, under the same moon.
