FIRST NAME ANNOUNCED FOR AUSTRALIAN CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT

On November 23rd 2007, the National Wrestling Alliance will crown its first Australian wrestling champion in an eight man single elimination tournament.

However, the first name signed for this tournament in not an Australian. In fact, he is of Irish heritage.

Around the world, the name Fergal ‘Prince’ Devitt inspires thoughts of classic, hard hitting wrestling. In a short space of time, Devitt has become one of the world’s finest exponents of true technical wrestling.

From his formative training in Britain through to his time spent in the New Japan dojos, both in LA and Japan, Fergal has trained hard to become well versed in all styles of wrestling. His knowledge and technique has helped him adapt to the hard hitting style that defines New Japan Pro Wrestling, where he has become one of the few foreigners to secure a contract in the past few years.

Devitt’s experience and determination will make him a favourite in this tournament even before the other seven names are determined. Any wrestler who faces him will have their work cut out for them in order to progress in the tournament.
