Australia, and makes him notable in my opinion. With regards to verifiability, I'm planning to have a look at the article and trim out anything that can't be properly sourced. However I'm hoping that the reliable sources I provided about are sufficient to demonstrate his notability, which is the most important thing. Most of the content that isn't verified at present doesn't have any bearing on his notability as far as I can see.

Never heard of him, which doesn't mean much, I don't follow wraslin. A quick look at his website suggests the organisation he started is basically limited to Sydney. At a guess, he's mainly a small scale organiser/manager of wrestling bouts and wrestlers. I could be very wrong, but it's hard to to

The "average" wrestler would depend on definition. There's hundreds and hundreds of "minor league" independent wrestlers, and not many who are "major league". So has this wrestler done anything to make him more significant than the hundreds of others, anything to make him stand out from the pack?

It's been suggested to me that "Pro-wrestlers are entertainers participating in a scripted performance. They aren't sportspeople competing to the best of their ability in a contest of skill. Compare them to the actors section, because that's what they are" Without wishing to take a side on that

I agree. However the linked articles are actually the results of shows that have already happened. This could also be confirmed by independent fan sites (which is worse in my opinion), and could also be confirmed by the
Japanese press who do actually cover wrestling but foreign language sources

I'm not aware of how notable wrestling is or isn't in
Australia, as I don't have much knowledge of it. However the crux of my argument isn't really anything to do with Australia, it's the fact he's wrestled in Japan for a mainstream promotion on national TV. That's at a far higher level than

I'll need to do plenty of cleanup to tidy up the article, trimming it down to the essentials but... he's wrestled in Japan for Z1 Max who are a big promotion. He wrestled there under the
