aussie wrestler has wwe tryout

WWE officials have been on the look out for grandiose wrestlers in recent months—regardless of body shape or ability. Josh Taylor, who stands at 6'10" and 385 pounds, is the latest voluminous grappler to be examined by WWE as he tried out for company officials prior to Friday's live event in Sydney. He is billed as the largest wrestler in Australia.

Professional Wrestling Alliance Queensland co-owner Andrew Venables said Taylor is Australia's best chance of success overseas. "He is the heart and soul of wrestling in Australia,'' Venables said. "If he shows them half the dedication as he has locally then he will make it."

has an aussie ever wrestled for WWE?

yup nathan jones

I think WWE are probably trying to branch out into a different area of the world. Sort of like they have done with Mysterio, Sin Cara and Del Rio to appeal to the Latino market, they will try to do the same in Australia. It's probably a good place to try and develop as it's not really get a huge wrestling scene, like say, for example Japan so should be rich for developing a following.

Ok, this might be a daft question, but were the Bushwackers Austalian?
