Qld Wrestling.
Hey guys, im new to the board and the whole aussie wrestling scene, but not new to wrestling. I returned from living overseas 2 years ago and now reside in Cairns. Im dying to get into this industry, this lifestyle, but im starved up here. Being here until i can get a transfer to a bigger city i am crying for wrestling entertainment besides what i write, and what i watch on AUSTAR, and the internet. Thus... any good ideas on how to really prepare myself for once i am there. im nearly at the point of throwing in my job and coming to visit just for the try-out! But u can imagine how that makes me nervous! ALL I WANNA DO IS WRESTLE!!! PS- EPW is FREAKIN AMAZING! A huge congrats to everyone involved i had no idea Aus had this much to offer and it rekindled my passion for wrestling personally!

If your gonna be in the same place long enough I suggest ordering EPW DVD's. In one of the general posts I think a guy asked which ones were the best. Other than that, for Australian wrestling I think Sydney had a very good fed didn't they? With Ox and stuff.

So I'd say make sure your fitness is up, eh. Otherwise, here in Adelaide (if the prospect interests you, I duno what your plans are of corse) there is: www.prowrestlingdojo.com - Run by Jag (former MPW, EPW champion, EPW tag champion(?)) and training under Havok and Damien Slater. I'm not sure of their training requirments and the likes but I'm sure they are somewhat like EPW's. They are bassed in the city, which is good for travel, at City Gym. Which is where the Riot City Wrestling guys use to train before the SPit opened up. I also think they offer a special gym membership with the wrestling training which is something to consider for sure. Which brings me to number two.... www.thesnakepit.com.au (site see,s to be down ATM, PM me if you want contact info) - Run by Tony Stone (former SA heavyweight champion) and has a pretty much open door pollicy on training. Not unlike the EPW tryouts, it's a good place to go and see and try a hand at it and see if you really wanna do it, -*test*-('") the water so to speak. These are the only place in SA to be trained as a professional wrestler (to my knowlage at this point in time), take anything else you hear with a large platter of salt. As far as other feds go, well, there are heaps... but always do your homework, some say they are proffessionally trained and are not. My advice would be to ask who they were trained by and then get in contact to confirm this. PWA in Melb would be one to look at as well, they have and are expanding much like EPW with Joint Promotions Wrestling here in SA becoming the SA based arm of that fed and they run show pretty much every second week I think. I'm not sure on them (JPW) as far as training but if you were to get in contact with Luke Hazard somehow (He's on www.thewrestlingpit.com's forums if you're a member), I'm sure he'd be able to help you out. Anywho, hope that help you out. :)

Thanx guys. Trust me ive done so much research that its not funny! I actually came accross the aussie feds while researching the NWA titles for a little write up im doing. ( http://www.answers.com/topic/professional-wrestling-promotion ) And i was UTTERLY STUNNED to find so much talent and action going on in Australia. My Jaw Dropped, and i havent left the computer since sunday 3rd just reading and watching everyhting i can about each fed. While saying that i must say EPW is a long long way ahead of the rest in terms of production of your shows, your talent, your online media, and even merchandise... again im speechless. The write up by Quayle on no-holds-barred about his two days in the EPW camp is a huge insight to ANYONE worldwide who wants to know ABOUT the camps and the fitness needed to just get started. ( since reading it ive been doing laps of my block with a sandbag on my shoulders instead of just normal jogs ) EPWA is interesting in the fact of an expanding brand within Australia... now thats progress! And the dojo is a great idea. Its foriegn to me because i have spent so much time living overseas im just not expecting any of this to be in Australia...and u can imagine the excitement i feel when on every site it says \" COME LIVE YOUR DREAM \". So with the research ive done in the very short time ive known bout Oz Indy Feds i can put it down to being in a big city. Qld seems to have some solid talent though no where to express it. ( one of those situations where u wish you had a million bux to revolutionise the scene ) So my target of course is EPW... AWF is top of my list though cos its in Sydney..where im from originally (CRONULLA) and where i ended up living on return from o/s out west near mt druitt. Imagine the look on my face when scrolling through the melbourne PCW site ( www.auswrestling.com ) and finding MARIO MILANO! The stories i hear from my mates mums about Mario are great! Just goes to show wretsling is a found sport in australia and its thanks to guys like yourselves that it is only regaining and finding more strength than what it did in days gone by. ( so thanks from me ) EPW DVD's are next on my list... ( just waiting to be re-instated at work after a back injury that nearly cost me my mobility about 5 months ago ) need the money first. The site downloads are incredible, aussie bands, aussie action, what more could i ask for! Whoever puts those together a personal thanks from me, they rock! Publicising wrestling... or a single federation like EPW is where i want to originally get my name in the door. Has anyone ever done an australian coast tour? Perth-Darwin-Cairns-Brsibane-Sydney-Sydney2-Melbourne-Adelaide-Perth? The drawback being the money side of things i guess. Back to the sites i cant get enough!

There's actually good wrestling in Qld, believe it or not. The main fed in Qld is and has been for the last few year, MIW which is based on the Gold Coast. They ran weekly shows in Southport for just over a year, but now have gone on a minor hiatus leading to a big show in November. They've been hurt as a fed by the loss of a lot of their top guys, but are still a pretty good company, their 2 top guys, Cruz and Mason Childs are IMO two of the best in the country. Also, if he returns for their major November show, Seoul is an excellent, excellent talent as well. Their site (not a very good one though) is www.wcwaustralia.tk . The second Qld fed is the recently started and soon to run their first proper show, XSE. This fed is made up of a lot of the departed MIW talent, Shooter is a very good talent, while James Blade and Obie (who returned not long ago from a WWE tryout in the US) are two guys that are as good as any in this country. They're only a new fed, but they seem very well setup and in terms of wrestling in Qld, are probably the pick at the moment. Their first show is on October 13 at Broncos Leagues in Brisbane, well worth a look i'd say. http://www.xtremesportsentertainment.com/

Hey New Fn show... yeh i came accross MIW on my whacky search to find all about aussie wrestling... i like the new XSE... verrrrrrrrrrrry interested! **rubs hands together with a devilish look**

Dunno if you're still interested or not but PWA Queensland is opening soon - and looks to be fanbloodytastic. Headed by Mason Childs, who is one of Australia's top guys atm. Check it out: http://www.pwaqueensland.com/
