Peter Maivia
During the next decade, Rickard and da Silva were able to develop new stars such as Al Hobman, Tony Garea, Peter Maivia, and The Sheepherders. They were also eventually able, along with Australian promoter Jim Barnett, bring back more foreign stars to the Australasian region. New Zealand was often visited by Australian wrestlers Ron Miller and Larry O'Day of World Championship Wrestling, Robert Bruce from Scotland, Canadians Gordon Nelson and George Gordienko, and French wrestler André the Giant.
