The Full Circuit: Wrestlers Who Completed Every Southeast Asian Stop

5th September 2025

In a curious twist of coincidences, several regional and international wrestlers recently reached out to SEA Wrestling about one statistic we’d never fully explored: who has completed the full Southeast Asian wrestling circuit?

The first question we had to answer was simple—what exactly counts as “the circuit”? While it could mean appearing in every promotion, we decided on a clearer definition: wrestling at least one match in front of a paying audience in every Southeast Asian country with an active promotion.

Surprisingly, the list of names is longer than you might expect. To start, we’ve chosen to highlight four trailblazers—one from each country—who were the first of their nationality to achieve it. If we’ve missed someone, feel free to correct us.

The First Filipino - Crystal

You might assume that a current Real Global Threat member was the first Filipino to complete the circuit—but that’s not the case. The honor actually belongs to the Queen of Philippine Wrestling herself, Crystal—the only woman featured in this round-up.

Crystal’s international debut came in October 2017 at SPW Wrestling City Asia, in a five-way match featuring herself, Jibzy, Poppy, Jane Foo, and Alexis Lee, which ended in a no contest. The match was a milestone in its own right—an original showcase of female wrestlers from the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore.

In October 2018, she traveled to Thailand to face Jibzy at the Sawasdee Cup Asia Pro-Wrestling Summit, followed by her Malaysia debut in February 2020, where she defended the MYPW Wrestlecon Championship against Orion Black. She finally completed the circuit in January 2023 at VPW Burning Dawn, where she battled her long-time rival Alexis Lee (notably, the only other woman to complete the circuit).

The Thai Trailblazer - Shivam

Thailand currently has just one national to complete the circuit: none other than its most prominent wrestler, Shivam.

Although he now appears across the region regularly, it’s surprising how recently he checked every box. His journey began in January 2020 at SPW Chinese New Year, where he lost to rival Da Butcherman. From there, he defeated Robin Sane in the Philippines at Wrestlestorm, one of the early DEXCON shows.

After capturing the MYPW SEA Title in Thailand in 2024, Shivam challenged Carlo Cannon for the World Championship at Fightback that August. He closed the loop in July 2025 by wrestling at Pro Wrestling Festival in Da Nang, Vietnam.

The Malaysian Who Made the First Circuit - Miles Karu

Malaysia’s entry comes courtesy of “The Lyrical Lightning” Miles Karu, who completed the circuit earlier this year.

His journey began at Causeway Jam 2023, where he teamed with Jack Alexander against Grapplemax duo Aussie Aussie Aussie. In 2024, he made his Vietnam debut at Spring Bash, teaming with Wonderboy in a losing effort against Venom Shank for the VPW Tag Team Championships.

September of that same year saw him in Thailand, taking on Shivam at Chaophraya Voyage. His circuit completion came in May 2025, when he debuted at DEXCON in the Philippines, entering a three-way match for the Pusong Pinoy Title against Main Maxx and—again—Shivam.

The First Person to Complete The Circuit - Eurasian Dragon

The earliest recorded wrestler to complete the circuit is Singapore’s own Eurasian Dragon, one of the country’s true originals.

His journey began in May 2016 at SPW Wrestling City Asia, where he represented Singapore in a team match against HKWF. Just months later, he faced The D in MYPW. That same August, he debuted in the Philippines at MWF, losing to Mr. Lucha.

2016 proved to be a standout travel year for Dragon, capped by Wrestlestar 3, where he defended the SPW Championship against Hughmungus.

It took a few more years to finish the circuit, but the wait was worth it. In July 2022, he became the first foreigner to challenge for—and later hold—VPW gold, facing then-champion Le Tyler for the VPW Championship.

Completing the circuit is more than a travel milestone—it’s a testament to how wrestlers are helping knit Southeast Asia’s wrestling scene into one connected community. SEA Wrestling congratulates and thanks these four standouts for paving the way.

Many others have now joined the list, and we’ll spotlight them in future features.
