Kilmore wrestling export Mitch Waterman made a surprise Australian comeback this month during Melbourne City Wrestling’s, MCW, two-day Anniversary Weekend event.
Waterman is a former MCW heavyweight champion and spent several years with the promotion before relocating to the United Kingdom to join London-based Revolution Pro Wrestling.
Waterman announced his departure from MCW in June last year after losing his title to former WWE superstar Buddy Matthews and suffering subsequent injuries.
At the time, Waterman said he was physically and mentally spent, but after several months of wrestling in the UK, Waterman shocked onlookers at Melbourne’s Thornbury Theatre with an unannounced return to the MCW, defeating opponents on back-to-back days.
Waterman will now travel to Perth as part of a four-man Victorian team to take on a team of Western Australian wrestling stars in a special state-of-origin match for Perth’s Explosive Pro Wrestling promotion on February 23.
