Wrestling
Promoters Down Under, by Greg Tingle
The
late Jim Barnett. A promoting legend who was the boss of Australia's World Championship
Wrestling
Australia enjoys one of the richest histories of
professional wrestling in the world.
We
have also had some of the worlds most colourful wrestling promotions and promoters. As
is in most parts, and endeavors, things are not always as they seem. What
am I referring to you ask? Simply
put, there are those that are good to do business with, and those that are not. For
the benefit of our wrestling and media savvy readership, we are going to list
some promoters that we can highly recommend, and if an organisation is not listed,
there may be a good reason for it, whether it be that they don't return phone
calls and e-mails, are "dodgy", don't pay for goods and services, advertise
wrestling cards and performers that won't occur, or just plain rip-off artists
and con men. Some
great promoters may have been or are, great wrestlers, and some great wrestlers,
many be poor promoters. Examining each on their merits is clearly the best method
of approach. It
needs to be emphasized that there are many great promoters and wrestling promoters
down under in Australia, however it is a case of buyer beware! The
wrestling business is a small world, and word travels of who is good to deal with.
This is a sometimes not taken into account by some "snakes" in the industry. Now,
with the preliminaries out of the way, here's our A-List Wrestling

In the right hands, the Australian wrestling landscape could once again prosper,
and Media Man Australia is proud to be in the thick of the action.
*the
information provided was based on our experiences and that of many good folks
that Media Man Australia liaises with. No legal warranty is provided. If you think
you know of a wrestling organisation that should be listed here, let
us know, and we will listen. However, be prepared to hear why that are not
listed! If you want a court case, deal with some wrestling promoters, and I am
sure they will oblige!
