Wrestling
Promoters Down Under, by Greg Tingle
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

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.

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!
