Andrew McManus
Andrew McManus was the owner and promoter of the short lived World Wrestling All-Stars promotion. The WWA toured Australia, Europe and New Zealand airing their shows on USA pay-per-view. McManus appeared on air a few times to make some announcements, but mainly ran things from behind the scenes. McManus did not really have a lot of experience as a wrestling promoter. The WWA eventually ceased running tours. Some of their wrestlers still wrestle in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, who the WWA had a friendly relationship with. Andrew has since founded McManus Entertainment, a music promotion company.
McManus' company, McManus Entertainment had been the promoter of Raggamuffin since its launch in 2008.[1][2]
In 2014, McManus Entertainment partnered with Dawn Raid Entertainment to move Raggamuffin from Rotorua to Auckland.[3][2]
In 2015, McManus was arrested in Australia in connection with the alleged importation of 300 kilograms of cocaine and money laundering.[2]
