Tony Condello (born August 8, 1942) is an Italian-Canadian retired professional wrestler and promoter most known for founding International Wrestling Alliance in Manitoba, Canada.
After the local wrestling club was purchased by the American Wrestling Association, Condello turned to promoting in order to pave the way for Canadian wrestlers to have a home.
Condello's greatest success came in 1986, when he struck a deal with Eddie Sharkey Pro Wrestling America promotion, which would include a talent exchange and dual promotion. Several stars that were included in this exchange were Ricky Rice, Derrick Dukes, The Terminators, Chris Markoff, and Buck Zumhofe, as well as stars such as "Bulldog" Bob Brown and Bruiser Brody.
The tour is well known for its rough conditions. Wrestlers are required to pack at least one bag of food to last them the entire tour. There are also no hotel accommodations with wrestlers having to either sleep in cars on the side of the road or at venues they perform.
