Unmasked: The Chronicles of Ro Moran and SANDATA

Here it is: the spiciest episode of the season. In arguably the biggest debacle in Philippine wrestling in 2016—and maybe the second biggest in modern history—thanks to a major lack of due diligence, the PWR roster (but not including Ro and some other wrestlers) is literally stranded in Batanes after another sponsored house show turns out to have only one-way tickets. The ensuing fallout leads to the downfall of the old regime in PWR, as well as perhaps the only match in Philippine pro wrestling that was called off and changed on the fly due to a default. It won't get any hotter than this, so tune in.

After the debacle that was Manila Madness, things got a little better for PWR—at least for the next couple of months. The company runs a poorly promoted first south show in BF Homes, where Ro has his first well-received singles match versus one of his most iconic dance partners in Chino Guinto in the first bout of their storied rivalry. The upward trend continues in that year's Wrevolution X, which involves a (literally) big local celebrity.

If you're a longtime PWR fan (or you were there), this is one of the big stories you've been waiting for. 2016 was one of, if not the worst year in company history, and the red flags were waving in the wind very early on. The first quarter of the year culminated in the infamous and legendary Manila Madness show—if you know, you know, but if you don't... just tune in to hear the whole story.

It's the first episode Ro and Abiel have recorded since the show officially premiered, so it's time for a midseason checkpoint to update everyone on what's happened since. Ro went to Singapore and trained with Grapple MAX after five years, and missed out on doing the full round of companies in the island. Abiel just got back from the US. Plus: a new fact-check segment for all the things Ro got wrong in the first six episodes.

Ro's singles career is in full swing following Dual Shock's breakup at Renaissance 2015 and a grudge match at PWR Live: iAcademy. There's one last Peter Versoza interaction at the final event of the year before Peter fully joins the Royal Flush, and Ro finds a little bit of his footing and a taste of his next singles feud at a rare early house show.

As PWR officially turns a year old, the company moves up and books iAcademy for the first time, securing a venue with air conditioning. Before that, they hold their final show in Makati Cinema Square, where Dual Shock officially breaks up after yet another loss—culminating in another disastrous singles match for Ro.

Three shows into Ro's first year as a wrestler, he gets booked in his first-ever singles match with future MSG stablemate (and true star) Chris Panzer as part of the inaugural PHX Championship tournament at the first event branded as PWR Live. It's nearly a complete disaster—and a really important learning experience not just for him, but for all athletes.

The story of 2015 rolls on with the first edition of PWR's WrestleMania—Wrevolution X. Veteran Filipino-British wrestler So Sai King comes to Manila to help train the roster, Dual Shock and the rest of the three-team tag division get thrown quickly in a big and slightly complicated match, and Ro and Stan accidentally enable a self-indulgent PWR Championship reign.

On this episode, Ro and Abiel start from the very beginning, because it's a very good place to start. They cover the story of Ro joining PWR via Bootcamp, all the way to the debut of Bootcamp Batch 2 a few months later at Vendetta 2015.
