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 now has a YouTube channel. The link is above. I'll be using this to post video clips from the history of Australian wrestling. While the intention of posting videos is to recognise and celebrate Australian wrestling - we understand if you don't like any clip we've uploaded from your promotion. Please be assured that we are only uploading with good intent and have actually denied YouTube's offers to monetise clips. If however, you wish for a video to be removed from the channel; please email me at

to discuss the issue.
1973 Big Bad John Interview
Firstly we have a clip from a 1973 episode of World Championship Wrestling in which Mike Cleary interviews Big Bad John, following a handicap match where his charge - Abdullah the Butcher has just squashed Petro Skepetes and Jim Dimerous. The interview targets Mark Lewin.
Andre the Giant Interview in Australia (1980)
Secondly we have an interview with Andre the Giant following a handicap match with Bobby Ragan and Andy Harpas. This was taken from a 1980 episode of World of Championship Wrestling. I have since been informed that this was filmed on July 1, 1978 - first aired December 14, 1978 and later re-aired during the 1980 episode that I've taken it from. Big thanks to Geoff Brown for the date clarification.
