When you talk about experience in Australian wrestling, you simply can not look past Hartley Jackson. Now in his 11th year as a pro, Jackson has wrestled all across Australia, as well as including trips to the United States and Japan to his resume.

Under the name ‘Jag’, Jackson was known early in his career as the ‘Extreme High Flier’.

Together with his on again-off again tag team partner, Havok, he stole many a show in his debut year and quickly developed a reputation for being an excitement machine in the ring. The two won a fan voted award for Australian Match of the Year in just their third match as pros.

Hartley has wrestled in every major Australian wrestling group including being featured on the first three Australian wrestling Supershows.

In 2005 he journeyed to the United States to test himself against the best wrestlers that Southern California had to offer. He accounted well for himself and even had a shot at Fergal Devitt’s NWA British Commonwealth championship. Jackson also gained much experience training in the Inoki dojo in Santa Monica.

This led to him travelling to New Japan Pro Wrestling to tackle two of New Japan’s finest in a tag team encounter. He accounted himself well and thoroughly impressed the New Japan hierarchy.

Over the years, Jackson has matured as a wrestler and has developed more of a ground and pound attitude following his experiences at the Inoki dojo.
