I just worked out there is some classic WCW Australia stuff on YouTube. I thought at least Gerty might want to know. There appears to be some full episodes and some isolated matches.

For those who don’t know, WCW was the Australian territory that ran in the 60’s and 70’s under Jim Barnett. When it folded, Barnett would take the World Championship Wrestling name to Georgia Championship Wrestling, which would later expand into what most wrestling fans know as WCW now.

They used top American talent. Eventually they’d join the NWA, but they had their own World Title first — the International Wrestling Alliance World Heavyweight Championship — which was held by Killer Kowalski, Gorilla Monsoon, Ray Stevens, Bearcat Wright, Toru Tanaka and King Curtis Iaukea, among others. Most of the video seems to be from the period they recognized the NWA World Champion, with Jack Brisco getting mentioned a lot. Don’t know if the match is on YouTube, but they aired a Jack Brisco vs. Dory Funk, Jr. match on the TV show.
