Mikey Nicholls Jumps Into the Australian Championship Tournament

NWA Officials today confirmed that Mikey Nicholls would be the second name entered into the Australian Championship Tournament.

Nicholls had impressed NWA Officials in his two trips to the United States and they felt that with his international experience, he would be an ideal fit for the tournament.

Mikey has the honour of being the first Australian wrestler to be confirmed for the tournament following the announcement of Ireland’s Fergal Devitt.

Mikey’s career started in 2001 and since that time he has gone on to become one of the most accomplished wrestlers in Australia today.

Nicholls has competed Australia wide while being a mainstay of Explosive Pro Wrestling, where he has held the EPW championship on two separate occasions.

His two trips to the US have seen him wrestle and train at the world famous Inoki dojo. He has trained under some of New Japan’s finest wrestlers in Shinsuke Nakamura & Kendo Ka Shin.

While in the US Mikey had the opportunity to compete for the NWA British Commonwealth title and the CMLL World Super Lightweight Championship.

In 2006 he also travelled to Japan to wrestle for New Japan Pro Wrestling. He teamed with Hartley Jackson to face Minoru Tanaka and Hiroki Goto in a tag team match that was broadcast on Japanese television.

On November 23rd 2007, he will go up against 7 other men for the right to call himself the first NWA recognised Australian champion. Can he be successful in front of his home crowd?
