It's becoming easier for Australian talent to be seen with PWA Australia (Located in Sydney) having links to SHIMMER whilst Zero 1 Australia obviously has links to Zero 1 Japan. The fantastic All Action Wrestling in Perth has links with Orlando Jordan also who would have a ton of contacts. The problem is we're just not very good and not many wrestlers stand out. That's why 200 people is considered a good crowd over here. As for the original question. I'd say China. They have New Beijing Pro Wrestling but the cards are filled with DDT Japan guys and they only run a couple times a year. As for South Korea, I believe there is a promotion there affiliated with an NWA Texas promotion but they ran 3 shows in 2008-2009 and never ran again so I think it's safe to say they are defunct. New Beijing isn't a Chinese promotion, it's DDT's parody of New Japan.

I'll mention some US states that aren't exactly hot - Washington, Oregon, most of the other western states bar California (and even then Northern California isn't that hot), the stretch from Arkansas to Georgia, DC, plus Alaska and Hawaii. Also, anywhere west of Ontario in Canada (and anyone I know from those areas either moved to wrestle in Ontario and Quebec, such as Courtney Rush, or got noticed wrestling in the States, such as Nicole Matthews and Kyle O'Reilly).

Yeah I was going to say, unless you could latch on to PWG or Championship Wrestling from Hollywood, you are kind of SOL. Though from what I've heard, some NorCal feds have started getting decent bumps in attendance now that Drake Younger is living there and taking bookings. But there are guys like Dark Shiek who deserve more looks. I'm under the impression the deep south is kind of hard to get noticed too. I think an interesting topic would be where would get places for established indies to hold an occasional show. I know the first Indy show CZW was going to run sold so many tickets they had to move the venue, and when they went to Lumberton North Carolina they dind't draw a big crowd but who they got was a nice crowd (also heard their New England show a few years back was decent)

The only northwest guys that I'm aware of are Daniel Bryan, Davey Richards and Kyle O'Reilly and that's only because they got the hell out of here. Jack Evans is from Washington to and he adds to the list of guys who got the hell out of here This place is where wrestling dreams die That's right, I forgot about Jack Evans. There is one indy that I'm aware of in Portland, but it looks horrible. I doubt we'd ever get something on the level of a PWG or a Chikara, but I'd like to see something with talent I'm actually interested in seeing.

There are actually a few Indys who run Portland DOA BCW WCWC Portland wrestling uncut but that might of closed DOA is worth a watch the best guys are either there of I'd say BCW but BCW is more old school wrestling. look for Ethan HD Eric Hanson Demarcus James wunderful zack winters Keith Akins And deboshi They are pretty damn good And I'm not half ba my self lol

I'll check out the others you mentioned as well. Its odd, I only live two hours south in Eugene, and I never hear anything about any wrestling going on in Portland.

But yeah, never seen any advertising for wrestling shows here. Didn't even know Raw was in Portland till you mentioned it. O.o Could be I just don't look often enough or in the right places.

The Mountain West is also a wasteland, bar Colorado and Salt Lake City. What great talents have come from Cheyenne?
