"MCW is hands down the best wrestling in the country. They've grown from small venues to filling arenas with thousands of fans. I've seen some incredible matches there featuring Matt Silva, Adam Brooks, Jonah Rock, Ryan Rollins, and Slex. The talent and energy always make it a must-watch promotion!"

"In my opinion MCW has been the best Australian indie promotion for the best part of a decade. Their production value is great for an independent, they book logically and treat their shows seriously, and the main event talent always deliver. They also know how to get the most out of their talent as I have seen them on numerous occasions repackage generic indie talent into unique gimmicks that work for them."

[10.0] "A hidden gem of the Australian scene that has been able to establish some of the top wrestlers from around the country in a crowded market. Wrestlers like Delta and Parea have been a stand out along with some of the very best in Slex & Adam Brooks."

[7.0] "One of Australia's top promotions, MCW has great production value and usually books great shows with excellent wrestling from top to bottom. Some of the bookings decisions in recent months have been a bit questionable, however."

[4.0] "I don't like promotions in Australia because the matches are exaggerated Sometimes, in some matches, you see a huge wrestler easily beaten by a small wrestler, and in the end he loses the match! On the contrary, if it is a huge wrestler against a huge wrestler, the performance of the wrestlers will be equal for the most part!"

[8.0] "Australia has quite the busy scene, with me counting 57 active promotions down under. But above them all, MCW rules the roost. They have the best talent in the country and the best production value too, although they sometimes have the Kevin Dunn syndrome in terms of camera cuts. While I wouldn't recommend them for their storylines and their promos, give it a watch if you want shows with almost only entertaining matches."

[8.0] "MCW is a wonderful promotion in Australia. Consistently putting on high quality wrestling. The production value could use a bit of work but it's not that big an issue. Many wrestlers from MCW have become big name performers like Elliot Sexton (Duke Hudson), Gino Gambino, Matt Silva (Buddy Matthews), Slex and Adam Brooks."

[9.0] "I personally love MCW and think it's arguably the best wrestling promotion in Australia. All of their shows are great and always deliver. Their shows also are really good at getting to the point in the sense that they don't have many filler matches were you just chuck two wrestlers in a ring and hope that their match is at least average. To put it in more simpler terms, basically every match on the card is worth watching. My only two complaints are maybe about the storylines which may need a little bit of work, as well as the replay videos of the show available on fite and vimeo which are edited fairly poorly and can become fairly annoying. This is seen through the excessive amount of unnecessary camera changes midway through a simple move, as well as how sometimes it crops half a second of action out (for example, it crops out the impact of the canvas when a suplex is performed and instead cuts to the wrestlers just laying there holding their backs). It may sound pretty petty as a complaint, but when watching a two hour video straight, the discombobulating editing style sort of gets under your skin."

[9.0] "MCW is easily my favorite "discovery" during the pandemic. The wrestling, characters, storylines and booking are all excellent. What's especially impressive is how I felt "up to speed" on everything from the first show I watched. Unlike a lot of indies where matches entirely rely on workrate and high spots (not that I mind that at all), matches in MCW seem geared towards storytelling, enough so that by the end of my first show I knew exactly who all the top guys and girls were and what their deal was. I highly recommend checking out the two shows they've run since coming back from lockdown earlier this year."

[10.0] "The best promotion in the country. Likely the world. The budget definitely shows, but the superlative match quality, simple but effective storytelling and well defined characters elevate it above its smaller means. Few complaints, none of them major."
