We have an exclusive interview with AWF promoter and booker Greg Bownds. Please feel free to use it on your website.
 
1) Greg, what is your background?
 
GB: I began wrestling professionally in 1994, began promoting live events in 1997, and formed the Australasian Wrestling Federation in 1999. I am the promoter and booker for AWF to this day, and also wrestle as TNT and on occasion as Aussie Ozbone.
 
2) Can you give us some background on AWF?
 
GB: Since forming in 1999, AWF has run shows primarily in Australia, using the top wrestlers in the country, along with from time to time incorporating some of the best independents from around the world. Our website is at www.awfwrestling.com.au and will give fans a chance to see our wrestlers, results and latest happenings.
 
3) Why should people buy "Aussie Mania!" iPPV on www.WWNLive.com on demand?
 
GB: People should buy "Aussie Mania!" to see a great show that showcases some of Australia’s best and rising wrestling talents. It will be a good chance for fans internationally to see Australian wrestling possibly for the first time and get to know some of the top wrestlers in our country. 
 
4) How would you describe the style and influences of AWF?
 
GB: AWF is for the most part a hybrid of all major world styles, including US, Puro, Lucha, Brit, with an Australian take. Some of our wrestlers gimmicks are localised to reflect our region. We aim for our show to appeal to all age groups and to bring exciting in ring action in a fun environment.
 
5) What talent should new fans look out for and can you give a brief description of that talent?

GB: The current Australasian Champion is "Iron" Ben Coles. He is AWF’s top fan favourite currently, and even has his own national TV advertisement playing here in Australia. He is youthful, well built, trained under the AWF and Lance Storm and is good talent. A member of “The Detonation Crew”.
 
AWF’s current Young Lion’s Champion Jay Law is another great talent to look out for. Still in his early 20’s he has 7 years of experience, and was trained by AWF, Jesse Hernandez and Dragon Gate Japan. Heads up the “Elite Wrestling” faction.

Tama Williams of New Zealand is another who has a bright future as he is young, fit and has great in ring presence. He currently heads up “The Multicultural Society” faction.
 
Blakestone is a tremendous physical specimen and is world class in his look and intensity in ring.
 
For fun Concrete Davidson is a standout. This 1920’s strongman is sure to put a smile on anyone’s face with his old school attitude and wrestling abilities.
 
6) Any final thoughts?
 
GB: In all AWF has something unique to offer, and we urge wrestling fans worldwide to check out our IPPV’s at www.WWNLive.com as they will provide a chance to see some good wrestling and new talent emanating from Australia. Ultimately, we hope to build a following of international fans and a carve a worldwide identity for Australian wrestling. Hope you can give it a go and join us for the fun ride!
