00:00We also met Jomar the Wrestler from the Puso Wrestling Federation.

00:05Good morning, Jomar the Wrestler.

00:08Good morning, Jomar.

00:10Jomar, first off, what inspired you to join wrestling?

00:17For me, as a kid, just like any other wrestler before me,

00:23we all became fans of wrestling.

00:25So for me, I became a fan of wrestling at the age of four.

00:28And ever since I watched it on TV, one day, I really wanted to become a wrestler.

00:32So now, I'm a wrestler.

00:35What we were talking about earlier, partner, even when I was a kid,

00:39I was a huge fan of wrestling.

00:41They were there, Kogan, Undertaker.

00:45Those were the times.

00:46Oh, I said it was my time.

00:49No, because partner, they also reached my time.

00:53For me, my time, the Ruthless Aggression Era,

00:57meaning the early 2000s to mid-2000s,

01:01my favorite back then was Shawn Michaels.

01:05But you, Jomar, what era started your wrestling fandom?

01:11It's the same, actually.

01:13I was born in 2001.

01:16So I'm one of the youngest pro wrestlers here in the Philippines.

01:19So I reached Triple H, Shawn Michaels, John Cena.

01:24So to name a few, Undertaker.

01:27So I grew up during the 2000s.

01:30So I reached them.

01:31So who's your biggest bias?

01:35Who's your biggest bias?

01:37There's a lot.

01:38But on top of my mind, it's Triple H and John Cena.

01:42Everyone's favorite childhood hero is John Cena.

01:46Yes, John Cena.

01:47But partner, our pro wrestlers don't know that

01:54it's hard for them to go through training behind the scenes.

01:58For sure.

01:59So my question to Jomar is,

02:01if you want to be a pro wrestler,

02:03give us a step-by-step guide on how to get into this sport.

02:07Because it's not a usual sport, right?

02:10It's kind of unique, partner, right?

02:12And it's somehow violent when you look at it.

02:17First, you have to have a strong heart.

02:21Second, you have to eat a lot so you'll have a big body.

02:25Third, you have to eat a lot so you'll be able to exercise.

02:28So all the energy you get from food,

02:30you have to pour it into the gym, at home.

02:34If you don't have a gym, you won't be able to go to the gym.

02:36Just work out at home.

02:38And you really have to fight the fear

02:43that you might get hurt in wrestling.

02:45So you really need to have a strong heart to participate in wrestling.

02:49Speaking of that, partner,

02:50I heard that it's really painful to compete in wrestling.

02:53What's the worst injury you've experienced here?

02:57There's a lot, actually.

03:00If I were to list them one by one,

03:02basically, my entire body was injured.

03:04So for the past seven years that I've been wrestling,

03:09basically, all of my body parts were injured.

03:12So it's that dangerous.

03:14And the funny thing is,

03:15we didn't get these injuries during shows.

03:19We got them during training.

03:21So the process to become a wrestler is really hard.

03:26So during training, it's really hard.

03:29So your performance on the show is at 100%.

03:33Do you follow safety measures?

03:35Just to ensure that,

03:37since it's already a very physical sport,

03:41you can somehow avoid these injuries?

03:44Ah, yes.

03:45We train three days a week.

03:49So there's a Sunday training.

03:51We have a weekdays training.

03:53So as long as your body can keep up with the training

03:58and you're not injured,

04:01and all of your moves,

04:03all of what we do is relatively safe.

04:06Because even if you do it safely,

04:10you'll still get injured.

04:12So that's how we measure if your body can keep up,

04:15or if you're safe as a worker.

04:18So you have to go through all of that to become a wrestler.

04:23Do you know how good my partner is?

04:25This is Joe Marhe.

04:28What was your reaction

04:30when you were introduced,

04:32or when you were judged by a renowned wrestler,

04:35Tajiri from Japan?

04:37And he said,

04:38you're a great wrestler.

04:40As a matter of fact,

04:41he invited you to visit Japan.

04:44I'm very honored,

04:46because like I said,

04:48I'm one of the youngest wrestlers.

04:50And to be praised by someone,

04:53a legendary wrestler like Tajiri,

04:56is a very big thing for me.

04:58So it shows that Filipino wrestling

05:01can be used anywhere in the world,

05:05especially in Japan.

05:06So I'm very honored that Tajiri said that to me.

05:09Were you able to go to Japan?

05:12Not yet.

05:15But he plans to, partner.

05:17And if I'm not mistaken,

05:18you two will be together.

05:20If ever given the opportunity,

05:22you, Fabio,

05:24Makisig,

05:25you two will go to Japan.

05:26But since we brought up Tajiri, Joe Marhe,

05:31Tajiri is a big part of the founding

05:34of the pro-wrestling scene here in the Philippines.

05:37So can you tell us,

05:40because a lot of people don't know,

05:43a lot of people know Tajiri,

05:44Filipino wrestling fans from his time in WWE.

05:48But they don't know that he's a big part

05:51of the establishment of the pro-wrestling scene here in the Philippines.

05:54So back in 2014,

05:56we didn't have a local wrestling scene here in the Philippines.

05:59So Tajiri and his team

06:03held a wrestling show here in Manila.

06:06So that is called Joshi Jam.

06:08That is 2014.

06:10And there were local wrestling fans who watched.

06:13And some of those people,

06:15they talked with Tajiri,

06:17and Tajiri said that wrestling should be held here in the Philippines

06:21because the Philippine wrestling market has a lot of potential

06:25because Filipinos, we love physical sport.

06:28We love boxing.

06:29We love basketball.

06:30We love MMA.

06:32So from that show,

06:37those same wrestling fans

06:39were the ones who established the first wrestling promotion in the Philippines.

06:45So you can say that Tajiri is the mother of Philippine wrestling.

06:51Since earlier we mentioned Fabio Makising,

06:55your trilogy match was very intense.

06:57Did you expect that you would win against Fabio Makising?

07:02Last year, right?

07:06It was very hard.

07:07It was a very hard match.

07:09Fabio and I have a long history.

07:12We fought three times already.

07:14He lost to me twice.

07:19This particular match is very important to me

07:23because it's the 10-year anniversary of Pinoy wrestling.

07:26And our match actually happened on my birthday as a wrestler.

07:30So that was me celebrating my 70th year as a wrestler.

07:34I also lost to Fabio Makising.

07:37He's my favorite wrestler.

07:44He's the best wrestler in the whole Philippines.

07:47That's a good birthday.

07:48Winning against one of the best wrestlers here in the Philippines.

07:53And arguably the face of their federation.

07:56But speaking of,

07:57Jomar, we know that you started in this federation

08:02because of your heart.

08:04It's a bit new, right?

08:05Yes.

08:06It was established last year, right?

08:08Yes, last year.

08:09Manila Wrestling Federation.

08:11Yes, that's where it started.

08:13But describe to us your journey

08:16because I know that you established this wrestling federation.

08:20How big of a challenge was that?

08:24Tell us about your journey.

08:28Puso Wrestling, in short words,

08:32is a pro-wrestling promotion

08:35built by wrestlers for pro-wrestlers

08:37and for pro-wrestling fans.

08:39Our former home,

08:43which is Manila Wrestling Federation,

08:45some of the key people in that promotion

08:49then left the industry.

08:50So we had to let the pro-wrestling die

08:55because we built it from basically nothing.

08:58Since we can run shows as wrestlers,

09:03we took the opportunity

09:06to establish our own wrestling promotion.

09:10And for those people

09:12who is interested to be a pro-wrestler,

09:15what are the qualifications to be one?

09:18First, they should be of legal age.

09:21Second, they should be willing to undergo pro-wrestling training

09:26because it's really hard to train for being a pro-wrestler.

09:31And third, they should have a strong body.

09:35They should take their diet seriously.

09:37They should have a clear mind

09:40that they want to try everything they can.

09:47I'll just add to that.

09:48What are the misconceptions

09:50about pro-wrestlers?

09:53I hear this a lot.

09:55People say that pro-wrestling is easy

09:57because you can just watch on TV

10:00what pro-wrestlers are doing

10:02and you can easily imitate it.

10:04No.

10:05I'm gonna be the first one to say no

10:08because for me,

10:09my whole body was injured doing the thing I love.

10:12And if people say that it's easy,

10:16no, it's not easy.

10:17You will end up hurting yourself.

10:20That's why we always put the warning before the show

10:23that do not try this at home

10:24because we are trained professionals.

10:26We practice every day

10:28to give the best performance for the people

10:32so they go home happy when they watch the show.

10:35That's right, partner.

10:36When I was young, I didn't listen to that.

10:38Because after watching wrestling,

10:41my brother and I used to wrestle.

10:43There were close lines.

10:44Because, partner, when you see that warning,

10:46although don't imitate it,

10:48when you see that warning,

10:49you want to imitate it more.

10:51Yes.

10:52Of course, when you're young,

10:53it's just a game.

10:55That's right, partner.

10:56But partner,

10:57wrestling is not just physical,

10:59it's also theatrical.

11:00So, Jomar,

11:01we know that there's a part of wrestling

11:04about engaging the audience.

11:07Can you tell us more about it

11:09and how you hone your skills

11:11when it comes to this aspect of the game?

11:13So, for this,

11:15what you see on the camera is just me.

11:18My personality in real life

11:21is just amped up by 200%.

11:24So, it really needs to explode.

11:25And our characters are pretty much Filipino.

11:29So, you have wrestlers who are lazy.

11:32You have wrestlers who like to explode.

11:35We aim to represent the Filipino people

11:39that when we watch on TV,

11:41for example,

11:43in the terminal of Tricycle,

11:45when we watch the Tricycle drivers,

11:47we're like,

11:48this is a wrestler but it's a Tricycle driver.

11:50So, we hope to give inspiration

11:53to the people here.

11:56So, basically,

11:57whatever you see on TV or on the internet,

12:01it's just us.

12:02Our personality is just amplified.

12:04Speaking of his personality partner,

12:09can you tell us more about your personal life

12:12outside of wrestling?

12:14Because the wrestlers,

12:15when you see them on TV,

12:16they're very tough.

12:18Very,

12:19don't mess with me kind of status.

12:24So, how are you outside?

12:27Outside of wrestling,

12:29I'm just a simple person.

12:31So, I like to,

12:33I always go to the gym.

12:35So, that's my life.

12:36Go to the gym,

12:37go to training,

12:38go to shows.

12:39Outside of those stuff,

12:42I'm just a simple person.

12:44Just chill.

12:46I just relax every day.

12:48But most of the time,

12:50I'm just in training.

12:52So, that's my life.

12:53I'm pretty much a pro wrestler

12:56by heart and by blood.

12:58Partner,

12:59maybe we should play a game

13:02for our viewers.

13:04Brother Jomar,

13:05I'll give you wrestling terminology

13:07and your explanation.

13:08Wrestling jargon,

13:09let's explain it to our viewers.

13:12What does it mean?

13:13This is just basic.

13:14Babyface and heel.

13:16Babyface,

13:17if you're handsome,

13:18heel,

13:19if you're ugly,

13:20you're ugly.

13:21Oh, like that.

13:22We can use that, right?

13:24In our codes.

13:26Because if you say babyface,

13:28it's self-explanatory.

13:30If you're handsome,

13:31heel,

13:32you're ugly.

13:34Okay, okay.

13:35We can use that.

13:36What's kayfabe?

13:38Kayfabe,

13:39it's a person,

13:40our neighbor.

13:41Kayfabe.

13:42He doesn't want to break the kayfabe.

13:44Okay, okay.

13:45So, what does bump mean?

13:47Bump,

13:48it's a term

13:50that when

13:52you knock out your opponent,

13:53you bump.

13:54So, bump.

13:55When you're knocked out,

13:56bump, you bump.

13:57Okay.

13:58Lastly, what's promo?

14:00Promo is basically,

14:02you're promoting the show.

14:03So,

14:04speaking of shows,

14:05we have upcoming shows

14:07this year

14:08in Brawl Pit Bulusan.

14:09So, that's an example of promo.

14:11There, there.

14:12And he promoted.

14:13That's part of it.

14:14And,

14:15if you have a message,

14:17Jomar,

14:18this is probably your chance

14:19to talk to our viewers.

14:21Ah, okay.
