This is a story that the ABC TV program Recovery did on the IWA and Australian Wrestling back in 1998.
Things were starting to pick up back then for Australian Wrestling, shortly after this we featured on Channel V on three seperate occassions and Fat Pizza twice and there was talk about getting us a regular late night weekly Australian Wrestling spot on TV.

The current blog is a part of the photo galleries, I will be moving them into the new wrestling section so as to be more readable. This will be completed in the near future
Update: After spending so much time writing the wrestling blog articles I will not be re-writing them again here, instead head over to the link and read about them there.
In the near future I will be starting a seperate wrestling blog site with more stories.
