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.

I'd just like to take this opportunity to acknowledge Libnan Ayoub. He's the son of Sheik Wadi Ayoub and an extremely big part of Australian wrestling history. In 1998, he released the book '100 Years of Australian Professional Wrestling' which chronicles the sport from as far back 1880 - the earliest recorded history of pro wrestling in this country, and considering this country has technically only been a country since 1901 - that is QUITE impressive. Having just obtained the book from my father and AustralianWrestling.org contributor Mark Dalgleish - I will be adding quite a bit of information from it.
I HIGHLY recommend for anyone interested in the Australian circuit from the 'glory days' of World Championship Wrestling and beforehand.
Libnan Ayoub has also contributed quite significantly to the works of Royal Duncan & Gary Will (Wrestling Title Histories - released in 2000, a great book with title histories from around the world and covers over 100 years worth) and Hisaharu Tanabe (www.wrestling-titles.com) who has continued to keep title histories since Duncan & Will's book was last released. (As well running www.puroresu.com, a neccesity for those interested in the history of Japanese wrestling).
