10 Best Kept Secrets In Wrestling Today

4. The Australian Indies

With the British and European indies bursting into the global wrestling consciousness over the past few years, the growing Australian and New Zealand scene has been pinpointed as the next to blow up. Those with their fingers on the pulse have been saying it for ages, and now, finally, we're seeing it come to fruition.

Promotions like MCW and PWA are killing it, and the world is starting to take notice. PROGRESS and NJPW both hit Australia for collaborative shows earlier this year. Will Ospreay, the world's foremost high-flyer, visits the continent regularly, with his tours yielding several 'Match Of The Year' calibre bouts alongside the aforementioned Eagles, who recently became Bullet Club's latest member in Japan. Guys like him, Jonah Rock and Adam Brooks are seeing their American and European schedules get busier by the month, not only increasing their own individual spotlights, but bringing new fans back to their home promotions in the process.

It'll take a while to get there, but if you want to get in on the ground floor with wrestling's next Cool Thing, do it now. Get on the bandwagon, or get run over.
