The entire wrestling world is constantly searching out trying to discover where the next untapped source of talent and excitement is going to come from. There are many areas of the world where talent have not fully been discovered yet but are on the verge of a major breakthrough. One of these untapped markets right now is New Zealand, there is so much talent starting to break through from New Zealand and much of it can be contributed to the massive rise in popularity of independent promotion Southern Pro Wrestling. Southern Pro Wrestling New Zealand is known to run regular shows in the Otago & Southland region of New Zealand.
SPW New Zealand was founded by Troy Crosbie & Marc Perry. Troy Crosbie & Marc Perry both have a very extensive background of professional wrestling. Troy Crosbie was trained by Lance Storm in Calgary, Alberta Canada. He wrestled all over New Zealand after returning from his training in Western Canada. Marc Perry was trained by UK World Of Sports legend Steve Logan and by 205 Live General Manager Drake Maverick. Marc Perry has wrestled all over the UK, New Zealand, and Australia. Troy and Marc had the vision to start their own wrestling company and so in 2015 Southern Pro Wrestling New Zealand, was born.
