All-Star Wrestling Australia to host anniversary show at Illawarra Leagues Club

A former World Wrestling Entertainment performer and an ex-Gladiators star will appear at a pro-wrestling event in Wollongong.

Unanderra resident Mitch Christen, now 27, started as a teenage fan, and later a referee and ring crew member with local promotions.

After a break from pro-wrestling to pursue other interests including acting, in April 2018 he turned promoter and launched Illawarra-based promotion, All-Star Wrestling Australia.

"Our first year has been full of surprises," he said.

"Our main aim is to make Wollongong a wrestling hot-spot," Christen said.

"We want the Illawarra to be known for its great wrestling action and have even more people travelling from all over to come and get their wrestling fix.

"It's my personal goal to try and get as many of the world's best wrestlers out here to the Illawarra, and continue to give these fans what they want from a wrestling product."
