SEA Wrestling Issue 4 - DIGITAL EDITION
SEA Wrestling Magazine – Issue 4 (July 2025) captures a pivotal mid-year moment for Southeast Asian professional wrestling, as multiple promotions transition from growth to genuine momentum and long-term identity.
At the heart of Issue 4 is an in-depth feature on Grapplemax, charting its evolution from a modest Singapore training school into one of the region’s most talked-about and creatively ambitious promotions. The feature traces Grapplemax’s early mat shows, the development of its core roster, its embrace of unconventional venues and cinematic presentation, and the steady build toward sold-out events and international partnerships. It presents Grapplemax not as an overnight success, but as a case study in patient, deliberate growth. SEA Wrestling Issue 4
The issue is anchored by comprehensive coverage of Vietnam Pro Wrestling’s Ultimate Collision, one of VPW’s strongest shows of the year. The review details a raucous, emotionally charged night that saw Ares crowned Openweight Champion, the escalation of key rivalries, and a crowd atmosphere that reaffirmed VPW’s status as one of Southeast Asia’s hottest live wrestling products.

Elsewhere, Issue 4 follows Alexis Lee’s hard-fought redemption, breaking down her Queen of Asia title victory and the significance of her journey within SPW’s women’s division. The magazine also examines the growing influence of Real Global Threat, analysing how the faction’s expanding presence across promotions is reshaping alliances, storylines, and power dynamics across borders.
