The promotion is run by former TNA executive Scott D’Amore. Mauro Ranallo and Don Callis will be the broadcast team. McKenzie Mitchell will conduct interviews. Sam Leterna will be the ring announcer. MLP is running its second show at the same venue on Sunday. Both shows start at 6CT/7ET and are available via TrillerTV.com. The shows are available to purchase individually for $19.99 or for a two-night bundle for $29.99.
The Windsor man who used to run Total Non-Stop Action (TNA) Wrestling is reviving the Maple Leaf Wrestling brand with events Saturday and Sunday at St. Clair College.
Scott D'Amore is calling the new venture Maple Leaf Pro (MLP) Wrestling.
It's been 40 years since Canada had its own national wrestling company, he said.
His goal is to be a "bridge between that unbelievable wrestling history that this country has and the bright future that it can have," he said.
"There was a time when Canadian wrestling was fizzling out in the '80s, and Bret Hart is really the guy who stood up and said, 'We have to be, as Canadians, [helping] Canadians,'" D'Amore said.
"And I think MLP is a perfect way to continue that tradition that Bret Hart started and make sure that there's a platform for Canadians to be seen worldwide, to show that they're world class and to give them those opportunities … to move on to grander stages in the U.S. and elsewhere."
Canadians currently struggle to get opportunities in the U.S. because the threshold to qualify for work visas is extremely high and requires proving that one is as good or better than American talent, he added.
The original Maple Leaf Wrestling was founded by Jack Corcoran in 1930 as the Queensbury Athletic Club, according to Edmonton-based pro wrestling historian Vance Nevada, who spoke to CBC about the business in August.
