Invercargill born and bred, Will Thomas AKA Will Power, overcame the ultimate odds at Southern Pro Wrestling’s biggest show of the year, the ‘Southern Rumble’ on Saturday night (7th August).

In front of a sold out hometown crowd, Will Power pinned the undefeated SPW New Zealand Champion, ‘The Big Man’ Jamie Tagataese to capture the gold and break the undefeated streak that lasted for just under a year.

Will was trained and started his professional wrestling career in Invercargill at the SPW Training School.
