Explosive Pro Wrestling (EPW)

[9.0] "I'm probably not as familiar with EPW as I should be. I've been to a couple of their bigger shows, mainly the supershows before Elimination Chamber and Crown Jewel, and I had a great time. I know those shows aren't the best representation of a normal EPW event because they bring in a lot of interstate talent, but the overall experience was awesome. The production looked great, the stage setup was really well done, and they had some cool merch as well. I don't really keep up with their regular shows because they're all behind a paywall, and I just can't justify paying every month to watch one Australian promotion. One thing EPW has always done really well is develop talent. They've produced wrestlers like Shane Haste, Mikey Nicholls and Chris Vice, which is pretty impressive. They've also got some great wrestlers on the roster now like Damian Slater, Julian Ward, Gavin McGavin and Marcius Pitt. My biggest concern is that I haven't really connected with a lot of the younger wrestlers coming through. Dustin Connors is the one that stands out to me, but outside of him I do wonder what the roster will look like when some of the current stars eventually step away. I also find it a bit surprising that, with the quality of trainers they have, they haven't developed a stronger women's division. Overall, I think EPW is a really good promotion. I just wish their regular shows were easier to watch because I'd probably follow them a lot more, and hopefully they can keep building up the next generation of talent for the future."

[9.0] "Some of the very best professional wrestling in Australia. Fantastic production quality of shows and a stacked roster of EPW mainstays, as well as the younger talent emerging on the ESPW shows. My only gripe is the fact that shows being available for free on YouTube (in my opinion) would be a better way to get the product out to a wider audience globally."

[7.0] "I have a friend from Australia who has recorded shows from his telephone and sent it to me to watch. EPW overall is a good Australian-based promotion that has big names come by now and again and some good consistent shows. I feel like this is another promotion to keep an eye on in the future.

[9.0] "I concur with most of the comments below. My favourite Australian wrestling promotion to keep up with online. Would be 10 if their shows were out a bit quicker and more easily accessible"

[9.0] "Phenomenal production and wrestling quality for a local wrestling promotion, especially in Australia"

[10.0] "Without a doubt. The best wrestling in Australia. Part of the big three (EPW, MCW, PWA) It has shown it can draw a die hard audience with pure talent and world class wrestling."

[10.0] "The best pro wrestling in Australia. A loyal local fan base and high quality talent considering Perth is the most isolated capital city in the world. Plenty of guys getting signed and plenty more that probably will."

[8.0] "The best wrestling promotion in Australia and one of the best independent promotions around the whole world."
