Desolation!
The Filipino Dragon struggles to break free!
Desolation (Ali “The Filipino Dragon” Mina & “The Asian Nightmare” Ken Cifer) vs. Society Rejects (John McQueen & Brandon Ward)
It was a fairly even contest with both teams showcasing their stuff to the AOWW crowd. The Rejects stole the victory after a pin out of nowhere. McQueen and Ward tried to beat down on Desolation, but the masked tag team fought back and chased the Rejects out of the ring.

“The Godkiller” Dabid Ravena vs. Hybrid (w/ Rogue)
Rogue introduced the crowd to her client, “Hybrid”. This match was very hard hitting and featured Hybrid delivering a hard chest slap that was heard across Valkyrie. Hybrid also pulled off an impressive German Suplex on his opponent. Ravena would not be outclassed as he delivered a Tres Amigos (triple vertical suplex combo) on Hybrid. The Godkiller won via disqualification after Rogue entered the ring and assaulted him.

The fight spills outside
For the AOWW Heavyweight Title: “Classical” Bryan Leo vs Pete “The Nuke” Baldo
This title match was Leo’s first match since May 2016. Bryan Leo showed his technical prowess against Nuke. Nuke fought back with some hard hitting offense and sent the fight outside. The two men had a chest slap exchange outside, but disaster struck for one audience member. Nuke sent Leo flying towards former URCC champ Vicente Pajaro.

Bryan Leo was crowned as the inaugural AOWW Heavyweight Champion. Leo went on the mic and said that he started a revolution with a couple of friends only to have the dream taken away. However, now, it’s time for an “Evolution” and he’s ready to usher in the “Philippine Wrestling Resurrection”.

All in all, I had a blast watching wrestling inside a night club. The only wish I want for the next event is a better ring that can showcase their talented young roster a bit better. Aside from that, AOWW Genesis was very enjoyable. I do recommend you guys to check out their next show to see where this new group takes the local pro wrestling scene. Finally I’d like to thank the people of AOWW for inviting us to their very first event.
