Titan Wrestling Promotions was a wrestling promotion based in Sydney, Australia that was active from October 6, 1998 to August 1, 2002.
The Beginning[]
TWP was formed after the Ken Dunlop owned AWA (Australian Wrestling Alliance) folded in 1998. The initial owners were David Barrand, Sean Barrand and Jumpin Josh. September of 1999 saw the first and only change in ownership with Jumpin Josh retiring from professional wrestling, leaving David and Sean Barrand as the owners. In the debut live event on the 6th of October 1998, AWA Champion Red Flair took on Dean Draven for the TWP Heavyweight title. Draven won the match and unified the AWA title with the newly created TWP title before a crowd of 300 people at the Ingleburn RSL club.
The End[]
TWP ran it's last official live event at the Bexley RSL Club March 2, 2002. After months of speculation the company was closed on August 1. The ring (which was the old TV ring used on Australia's World Championship Wrestling from Sydney) was sold to Joe Zappia (aka The Rockabilly Rebel) who formed the AWE. The AWE hired all the TWP talent and combined them with his own to form a super company. The AWE folded (as it turned out temporarily) in late 2003. Some of the talent moved on to the newly formed UWA and TNT's AWF.
