IWA Overseas
 
 
Sgt. Bianco 
Sgt. Bianco has wrestled in Japan for All Japan Pro Wrestling and has taken part in some brutal and legendary matches with the likes of Abdullah the Butcher.
Larry Papadopolous 
This pic shows Larry involved in a shoot fight with Ken Shamrock in Japan (I think). Larry is a popular celebrity in Japan due to his many televised shoot matches.
Mark Mercedes 
The current IWA Heavyweight champion was trained at the Malenko school in Florida in 1993. He was such a standout that he appeared on WCW Worldwide under the advice of Malenko. He wrestled Rick Rude (jobbed) and took part in a good tag match with Bobby Balze against the Blackhearts.  
He was contacted by Otto Wanz and spent 6 months in the CWA in Germany. After his tour in Germany he was contacted by WCW again and wrestled Ric Martel on WCW Saturday Night and wrestled a dark match on Nitro in front of 30,000 fans at the Georgia Dome. Believe me, he likes to constantly brag about the fact that he has wrestled in the WCW on TV.
Gregory Von Stekker 
Trained with Mercedes at the Malenko School. His reputation as a shooter saw him go to Japan to take part in Pancrase. He appeared on the very first Pancrase Pay Per View and during his match, despite getting injured, he held the UFC star Guy Metzga to a respectable draw.
Steven Swann 
Swann was another graduate of the Malenko Scholl in Florida. Has wrestled overseas but I can't find and info at the moment. (More coming soon)
Superfire 
Superfire was trrained at the Hart Brothers School of Wrestling in Calgary, Canada. After being trained by the likes of Dan Severn, Superfire wrestled in the ICW in Canada against the likes of current WWF rookies Glen Kulka, Brakkus and Sexton Hardcastle (Edge). He held the ICW Cruiserweight Title for a short time before returning to Australia.
A.J Freely 
Freely is the current New Zealand Heavyweight champ. (I'll add more later)
Hopefully I will be able to add more IWA stars here soon. Very soon I should be getting some info about the dates of IWA stars overseas experience.
