MANILA, Philippines – Chris Panzer snuck in a victory in an intense 3-way match to win the Philippine Wrestling Revolution (PWR) Championship in “PWR Special: Homecoming” on Saturday, October 12. 

Panzer spoiled not only Quatro’s run with PWR’s top prize, but also the homecoming of Filipino-American wrestler Jeff Cobb. The win also makes Panzer the first 3-time PWR Champion.

Both Panzer and Quatro felt Cobb’s power and intensity during the match. As promised, he treated PWR fans to a homecoming “suplex party.”

However, the Motor City wrestler Panzer and “The Lightbringer” Quatro held their own against the visiting dynamo.

It was a nail-biting triple threat match that brought every audience member at the ABS-CBN Vertis Tent to their feet.

In the end, Panzer has his cohorts at the Mr Sy Group of Talents (MSG) to thank.

Twenty minutes into the match, Cobb delivered a snap German suplex and a spinning powerslam to Quatro then went for the pin, but MSG’s Main Maxx and SANDATA pulled him out to ringside.

Panzer took the chance to hit Quatro with a frog splash, but Quatro kicked out. He then landed the HNA finisher – his version of Kazuchika Okada’s Rainmaker – to put down Quatro for good and claim the PWR title.
