PWR’s Jake De Leon
JDL works on Lucha’s leg
Mr. Lucha def. Jake De Leon
Jake De Leon started the match by repeatedly tossing Mr. Lucha to a row of chairs, extracting some revenge from their last encounter. JDL would zero in on Lucha’s leg each opportunity he had during the contest going so far as to delivering a leg lock on the ring post. Mr. Lucha, at one point, caught JDL and slammed him hard on the ring apron in hopes of turning the tide.

Throughout the show, we were shown Gigz Stryker’s Sagot Kita 6: D’ Final Showdown film which ended with Liwanags in possession of RG and converting him into the light. Gigz had to face the transformed RG inside the MWF ring. At first he tried to snap RG out of the Liwanag’s control, but to no avail. RG punished Gigz on the corner with some hard shoulder charges. Gigz fought back with his signature body punches and sent RG down with an enzugiri. Gigz delivered a Kalibre 3:16 on RG, but RG kicked out of his finisher. Gigz managed to secure the victory by pinning his protégé.

The Liwanags and a captive RG
RG slowly came to his senses after he was given the U.P. Sash by their friend Neneng. The reunion between RG and Gigz was shortlived as the Liwanags, together with the returning Moises Liwanag, made their arrival. The Liwanags delivered a 3-on-2 beat down on RG and Gigz that was punctuated by Moises Liwanag’s thunderous backbreaker on Gigz. The Liwanags left ringside with RG in their clutches.

Other Notes
MWF 6 Noche Buena featured some musical numbers from Bendeatha and MWF’s Creative Director William Elvin. They also had a number of video segments that added to the story of MWF that would lead up to the next shows in 2019.
The MWF champion, Robin Sane!
Overall, MWF 6: Noche Buena, was a great way to close out MWF’s 2018 wrestling calendar. They hit a stride and made a huge leap from their first year. I cannot wait to see where things go once they open up their 2019 shows. I’d like to thank the people of Manila Wrestling Federation for inviting our site to cover this great event.
