Welcome to AustralianWrestling.org!
The website devoted to preserving the history of Australian wrestling.
We're in the process of renovating and moving some things around so some things may look a little strange but the aim is to minimise disruption.
This website was designed in 2012 with a scope of covering present and past wrestling in Australia.
The scope will change to prioritise the older stuff and make that a bit more accessible.
Thank you for your patience.
I also have another website (with my good buddy Greg) The Wrestling Roadshow which has more of a global scope. We have a podcast by the same name too and discuss all sorts of wrestling.

AustralianWrestling.org interviews Drew Steele, a recent graduate of training under Mason Childs and Slade Mercer - days before his first singles match in Global Wrestling Entertainment.
When did you start watching wrestling?
I started watching wrestling at a very young age, but my family did not have cable so each weekend I would go around my friends house and watch as much wrestling as I could and then leave *laughs*
Who were some of your favourites growing up?
All the great ones, HBK, Rocky, Stone Cold, Goldberg.. The list could just go on and on.
Why did you decide to become a wrestler?
I idolised wrestlers passion to always be the best, I feel I have that in me too... Wait no I know I have that in me. It's about being the best I possibly can be just like every one I grew up watching.
Describe the training you went through.
One word I would use to describe the training I have gone through is "Intense." Every wrestler out there knows that they have to train hard, those that don't will just get left behind in the dust.
Explain to us your debut match.
My Debut match this upcoming Saturday at Global Wrestling Entertainments Triumph has me matched up against a big British street fighter named Ben Farrar who doesn't care who he steps in the ring against. Ben Farrar is an A grade competitor but he has never faced any one as driven as Drew Steele. It won't be a match to miss.
What do you hope to accomplish in your career?
I am reaching for the stars and I won't stop until I get there.
