Robbie Eagles of TMDK discusses the influence of The Stable on the Australian wrestling scene.

Robbie Eagles, 33, hasn't held the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Belt in roughly a year and a half, and he's sick of sitting around. Eagles just made a risky decision by defecting from CHAOS to join TMDK, and as a result, he was given the opportunity to defend his championship against Hiromu Takahashi, the current IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion.

Yet, the move is fitting for Birds past his title goals, as the TMDK stable is vigorously established in Australia, Hawks' nation of origin. In a meeting with New Japan Supportive of Wrestling's site, Birds made sense of why TMDK has become so vital to the Australian scene.

"I figure the most effective way to put it is, there have been such countless individuals from this gathering, beginning with Shane [Haste] and Mikey [Nicholls]," Falcons said. "Presently it's gone overall with folks like Terrible Buddy Tito, and Zack [Sabre Jr.] obviously, yet it's been an essentially Australian gathering, and it was constantly viewed as the most elite of all Australia, no state lines keeping individuals down."

With respect to when the impact of TMDK truly became perceptible in the Australian scene, Falcons directed back toward 10 years prior, when the previously mentioned Scramble and Nicholls were breaking out in Star Wrestling NOAH, a couple of years before they became individuals from the WWE NXT list.

Everyone in this nation looked to Shane and Mikey for inspiration when they won the GHC Tag Titles in 2012 or 2013, according to Eagles. "They had done everything themselves, but suddenly they were receiving the worldwide attention that we had felt they deserved for a very long time. Then JONAH would tear down those barriers, winning acclaim from all over the nation and fully representing TMDK.
