Are you sure I'm winning the Rumble? That does'nt seem right.....

I was curious enough to check out the local wrestling school's website... Sadly it's on the Gold Coast, about an hour away :( not having a car would make that difficult, too. Also I'm a tall skinny dude with lovely muscles and probably bad cardio, so there's that too. Rooting for you dude, keep us updated on how it goes! Wrestling sounds like it'd be a lot of fun if I had the time and money to get into it. Maybe over the uni holidays...

My bigger issue with the Australian wrestling culture is how bogan it is (at least all the shows I've attended in Brisbane). As an inner-city uni student, I just can't take some of these people and their terrible accents.

Basically I want something that's as inner city trendy as my circus class, except when you piledrive someone it's on purpose and you don't need to apologise.

You're training to be a loving carnie and you look down on wrestling fans because of their accents? We shoulda nuked Australia harder.

Bogans are scum, and your American perspective on this is insane. Circus people are fine.

More specifically, the last wrestling show I attended was full of drunk yobos hurling homophobic abuse, that's the kind of people I want to avoid.

Bogan is kind of like Urban Rednecks, just idiots. And yeah, Yobbo is the same between England and Australia.

I usually just hear Australians complain about Abbos, and then complain about Americans calling them racist because we "don't understand."

Like in America, our race relations are a complicated beast with a number of problems from all sides, and unnecessary racism suddenly coming from otherwise reasonable people occasionally.
