2002…
A year for aspirations, a time for promoters
to pull together and forget there differences.
Australian wrestling WILL DIE, if we
continue on the path of treachery that
we so very often crawl down.
Hi, I’m Zoe Duggan. Owner of auswrestling.cjb.net
I’m here, basically, to report
on the happenings in and on the Australian
Wrestling scene. Essentially there are
14 feds in Australia;
There are more, but these are the major
players. The Australian Scene is very
similar to the American Indy scene,
with the way the shows run, and the
overall crowd attendance. We get no
financial backing whatsoever, and very
rarely do we get any exposure, be it
TV, magazine ect…
Okay, to start off news for January
2002.
It has now become public knowledge that
PCW (vic) has ‘bought’ out
Melton Wrestling- in what I think is
a GREAT move. PCW is becoming a very
powerful force in Australian Wrestling,
with Naval base shows being announced
for the New year, for more info visit
www.auswrestling.com ASW, kicked off
the year, with a first ever fan fest.
A fun night had by all, it was great
to see so many people turn out, for
what I hope will be the first of many
to come. Also, in ASW news, say goodbye
to Tuesday night wrestling. Starting
March 9th, we will be seeing All Star
on Sunday afternoons! Don’t worry
folks, you will still be able to catch
ASW on channel 31 (Melb) for highlights
of the show.
Now we move states, to New South Wales,
where the AWF recently put on a grand
performance, showcasing some of the
most talented wrestlers in the industry,
with over 500 people attending! Well
done to all the guys, and look out for
there next show in April sometime. Currently,
the IWA is touring the QLD area, I have
not received much information as to
how they are doing, but with names like
Marc Mercedes and Billy Cole I am sure
QLD is getting the much needed professional
shows that they have been lacking.
To Adelaide, where we have the likes
of PWSA, who were the only consistent
promotion until a new fed, MPW, has
been formed. They had their first show
last Saturday night, which I have been
told was a complete success. Though,
it is still early on in the piece, I
believe if they can use the talent they
have, and book it well, we will see
another great fed in the makings.
It seems that’s all we have time
for this issue, so thank y’all
for reading. I hope everyone starts
off the New Year with a bang! Next issued
we’ll take a look into what’s
happening in the world of UCW (vic)…
Is there going to be a return for the
company that said they had it all??…
I’m out of Here,
So until next time,
Take care,
Zoe Duggan.
