August 8th 2024.
Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling is making a comeback, and it's bringing along some big names. None other than former WWE Champion Jinder Mahal, also known as Raj Dhesi, has joined the team under the leadership of Scott D'Amore.
Scott D'Amore, who was previously the president of TNA Wrestling, left the company earlier this year and caused quite a stir in the industry. But now, he's back with a vengeance and ready to make some waves with this new venture.
For those who may not know, Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling has been around since the 1930s, but it was absorbed by WWE in 1984. Now, after 40 years, it's ready to make a comeback with a double-header event called Forged in Excellence on October 19 and 20.
And it's not just Jinder Mahal who will be gracing the ring at this event. Other stars like NJPW's KUSHIDA, TNA Wrestling's Josh Alexander, Gisele Shaw, and Jake Something will also be in attendance. Plus, fans can expect to see names like Alex Zayne, Kylie Rae, and former WWE star Cameron Grimes.
Scott D'Amore is excited to revive Maple Leaf Wrestling and continue its legacy. "For six decades, Maple Leaf Wrestling hosted a who's who of the world's greatest wrestlers," he said. "Legends like Lou Thesz, Bruno Sammartino, Ric Flair, Andre the Giant, and Rowdy Roddy Piper all competed in Maple Leaf. Now, we're bringing that legacy back with modern-day legends from WWE, New Japan, TNA, AEW, and beyond."
In addition to the live shows, Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling is also in the process of uploading its historic library to digital platforms like YouTube and Facebook. This will give fans the opportunity to relive some of the greatest moments in Maple Leaf's history.
And of course, D'Amore is proud to be bringing this legacy back to his home country of Canada. "Maple Leaf Wrestling, once headquartered in the legendary Maple Leaf Gardens, has long been a prestigious brand in wrestling's storied history," the company stated in a press release. "The promotion's return marks a new chapter in its storied legacy, promising to deliver the same level of excellence and excitement that fans have come to expect."
Tickets for the comeback show at St. Clair College in Windsor, Ontario, Canada will go on sale on August 26. So mark your calendars and get ready for an epic event that you won't want to miss.
