BIOGRAPHY
Starting his in-ring career in 1999, TJP is a young veteran of the game, with two decades of experience wrestling in rings all around the world.
This includes Japan, where he made his NJPW debut in 2002 as Pinoy Boy, after training extensively in NJPW’s original LA Dojo. TJP wrestled for NJPW between 2002 and 2005, returning in 2011 for the Best of the Super Juniors, where he beat Davey Richards, Jado and Taichi to score a 3-5 record.
In 2019, TJP participated in SUPER J-CUP 2019, reasserting himself in the cerulean blue. A regular on NJPW STRONG through 2020, he entered Super J-Cup that year as well, and mentored the next generation of LA Dojo talent before turning his back on the group to align himself with Will Ospreay and the United Empire. Partnering with Francesco Akira in United Empire, the two would reign twice as IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions, but after a betrayal from one time faction mate Drilla Moloney, lost the belts to the BULLETC LUB War Dogs tandem of Moloney and Clark Connors.
The betrayal was the beginning of a blood feud between United Empire and the War Dogs. In December of 2023, a loss in a coffin match saw TJP forced into a casket by Moloney and Connors, re-emerging at Wrestle Kingdom as the Aswang. A creature of dark Filipino legend, the blood spitting demonic side of TJP still makes its presence felt, but TJP’s loyalty to his allies is strong as ever. With the departure from NJPW of Will Ospreay, TJP declared that he would compete as an openweight between divisions, while flying the flag at the forefront of United Empire.
