AEW Grand Slam Australia 2026 Review (14/02/2026)
The massive wrestling weekend in Australia continues here, with coverage brought to you by The Arena Media! Sydney is starved of major wrestling shows. Back in the day, WWE went to Melbourne for the 2002 Global Warning Tour. Then a long break before Super Showdown, also in Melbourne at the MCG. Then they signed a deal with the Perth government to do Elimination Chamber and Crown Jewel the last couple of years. Sydney gets house shows- if they’re lucky. Last one was 2019, I b


PWA Colosseum 2026 (First Round) (13/02/2026)
It’s been a massive weekend in Australia, pro wrestling and Australian pro wrestling. But before we can get to the big AEW show at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, we need to make another stop in the Sydney CBD, at another iconic venue, the Metro Theatre. The Metro Theatre has been a semi regular home for PWA in recent years, notably with their Rumble match, the King of the Metro. It also played host to last year’s Colosseum, won by Jessica Troy and featuring WWE’s Grayson Waller

Back with the second Supershow review for Rock N Roll Wrestling this weekend! If you want to find out what went down at the RNR Academy on Saturday arvo, head back to the last post, but for now, Xyon, Lee Morrow and the rest of the Rock N Roll crew take their talents to the Campbelltown RSL. Campbelltown has become the school holiday base for Rock N Roll, and the fanbase seems to have established itself well there, with strong numbers and invested crowds. With some anticipate


Rock N' Roll Wrestling Summer Supershow Review (24/01/2026)
Rock N Roll Wrestling are strongly established in the Illawarra area as the premier place for family-friendly pro wrestling. They've done some travelling around different areas, but Wollongong and its surrounds are generally home for Rock N' Roll. One of the trips away from the Gong was approximately a year ago, on the eve of AEW Grand Slam Australia in Queensland. Rock N' Roll went to the iconic Caxton Hotel for a rare 18+ show, with the big draw being former NRL and WWE sta


PWA Black Label Hottest 100 Party Review (17/01/2026)
One thing that Pro Wrestling Australia does better than many promotions is giving each event a strong sense of identity, with its own unique themes and names. A strong illustration of that was the branding for its latest 18+ Black Label event, PWA Hottest 100 Party. An Aussie take on WWE’s “Biggest Party of the Summer”, referencing the yearly list of songs put out by Triple J, the promo photos that came out leading into the event gave me massive Summerslam 2006 vibes, with Th
