Isang dekada na ang modernong henerasyon ng Filipino wrestling. 

Oo. Sampung taon na ba, o isangdaan at dalawampung (120) buwan, o lagpas limangdaan at dalawampung (520+) linggo. Wag mo nang bilangin yung araw dahil may mga leap year pa at hindi ka mathematician unless ikaw ay si Ivan the Sporty Guy.

Teka, sigurado ka ba? Hindi ba't since 80s ay may Pinoy wrestling na sa atin? Totoo yan. Kaya nga sinabi kong 'moderno' eh, kasi hindi na ito yung panahon na sila Joe Pogi, Max Buwaya, Smokey Mountain Brothers, Bakal Boys, atbp., ang mga nakikipag-buno sa squared circle. Hindi na rin ito yung panahon na sila Jimmy Fabregas, Johnny Revilla at ultimo Gary Lising ang mga celebrity na involve rin sa mga episode ng palabas na ito sa RJTV noon? Lalong hindi na rin ito yung era na tadtad ng mga sponsor banners yung venue, mapa-parking man ng SM City North EDSA, Tarlac, o sa kung saan man yan.

Oo, kumbaga sa serye, isa at ibang libro na ito, dahil noong 2013 pa nga lang kung tutuusin – nagsimula lang sa isang Facebook na grupo ng wrestling fans – ay nabuo ang mga pangarap na magkaroon ng sariling eksena ng sport na ito sa bansa muli. Lalo na noong sila'y naatasan tumulong magsagawa ng isang event nun sa Ynares Center sa Pasig kung saan tampok ang ECW legend na si Tajiri pati na rin ang then half-Filipina triple crown champion na si Shuri Kondo.
