Dear wrestling fans, We regret to announce that OPW's "Australia vs India" event scheduled for December 22nd will not be proceeding as planned. As Managing Director and Owner of OPW, the reason this event is not continuing is one hundred per cent my responsibility and my mistake, and has nothing to do with the talent, venue, or any other stakeholder – I stuffed up. After deep reflection, I have come to realise that the timing and execution of this event wouldn't meet the high standards we've set for ourselves. While the Australia vs India concept showed promise, it hasn't resonated with you all in the way we'd hoped. This, combined with the challenging pre-Christmas date and my increased commitments outside of OPW operations the last few weeks, has led to this difficult decision. Thank you to the talent and staff that tried hard to make this Aus v India concept work. This year has been incredible for OPW, delivering unforgettable moments with Starrcast Downunder, HER, Australian Stampede, and Worlds Collide. Each of these events succeeded because they genuinely inspired and excited both our team and our fans - a benchmark we believe every OPW show must meet. I want to be clear again, that this decision reflects solely on my own planning and scheduling, not on any of the incredible talent who agreed to be part of this event. We remain grateful for their continued support and professionalism. Running OPW alongside my full-time career requires careful balance, and sometimes that means making tough calls to ensure we're delivering nothing but our absolute best, and I misread this one. For those who purchased tickets, full refunds will be processed this week through Eventbrite. I want to thank all those Australian wrestling companies that we worked with this year – Australian wrestling can work together, and in particular Melbourne City Wrestling, Relentless School of Wrestling and PCW, whilst SLAM and Renegades of Wrestling supported OPW with talent for HER and Australian Stampede respectively. OPW will take this opportunity to reload and refresh. We'll be back in 2025 with events that truly excite and inspire, continuing to build on the foundation of what makes wrestling in our region special. If you have ideas, reach out to me at crv@oceaniaprowrestling. Thank you for your understanding and continued support, from 2025 OPW will consistently meet our TNA Impact 2023, Starrcast 2024 and Worlds Collide 2024 standards and deliver each and every event we promise.
