There can be no doubt that this man is the single most dominant
wrestler within Western Australia. Jimmy travelled to South
Australia to receive his formative training from former
professional wrestler, Col Dervany.
Under Dervany’s guidance Jimmy quickly gained that knowledge and
confidence needed to immediately make an impact in the
Australian wrestling scene.
His debut on Novemeber 4th 2001 was a huge success as he claimed
the inaugural EPW Invitational Tournament trophy. This
tournament is still currently the longest running tourney of
it’s kind in Australia. Payne smashed his way past 15 other
wrestlers as he fought four times in one day to claim the
Invitational trophy.
Exactly one year later he won his first EPW championship at the
first RE-AWAKENING. After a serious neck injury threatened his
career for most of 2004, Jimmy bounced back to his best in 2005
before winning the EPW championship for a second time in 2006.
Jimmy’s peers rate him as one of the most gifted and natural
wrestlers in Australia today. His mat skills and intensity have
seen him labelled as the hardest hitting wrestler in Western
Australia. Payne has rarely ventured outside of WA to compete,
preferring to concentrate his efforts on maintaining his
stranglehold on the EPW championship here in Perth.
