Interviews with Indie Wrestlers

Paddy Fitz is twenty-one years old, Irish, and currently living out of a bag in Cairns while he logs his regional working visa days and gets booked wherever he can. He came from Mayo via Galway via Dublin via Brisbane, and he has every intention of being in Sydney and Melbourne before he's done.

Bruno the Kodiak made his professional wrestling debut exactly one year to the day after he vowed he would. He talks about discovering wrestling on his auntie's pay TV as a kid, the two-in-the-morning Uber ride in Las Vegas where everything changed and the quiet anxious person behind the bear gimmick. This is a story about passion, persistence, and what happens when you stop saying maybe.

Eleaine Hope grew up in a small country town in South Australia, watching wrestling on her dad's lap and playing every rough sport she could find. She's a submission specialist, a high flyer, a two-promotion storyteller with a two-year arc still running, and a woman who has stared down the urge to walk away more than once and decided, every single time, that she wasn't done yet. She sat down with In the Gorilla Position to talk about TNA Knockouts, the lumberjack match that made history, the little girls in the crowd who keep her going, and why a small-town country girl living out her craziest dream might be the most important thing she ever does.

Selina is a heel, a teacher, a cheater, and one of three active female wrestlers in Singapore's longest-running promotion. Her parents don't know she wrestles. Her students definitely don't know she wrestles. And somehow, in a country that doesn't really do pro wrestling, she is helping build something that might matter for a very long time.

Anna Wood (Lady Reffington) is a referee fron New Zealand. She started in film and TV creature effects and has become NZ's first and only full-time female official. She discusses safety in the ring, concussion protocols, Lucha Underground influences, the differences between New Zealand and Australian indie wrestling, and what she hopes her legacy will be when the final bell rings. A powerful, character‑driven profile for fans of Australasian wrestling.

TJ Wylde grew up in Albury-Wodonga knowing nothing about professional wrestling. Then a cousin came around with a DVD, and the first thing he saw changed everything. Years later, he's grinding the Melbourne indie scene on reps, relationships, and a stubborn, spite-fuelled refusal to quit.

He hails from Dingley Village in Victoria, Australia. This is the Loose Ledge, Adam Brooks!!
