Building on the success of Revival at Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling last year, Windsor’s Scott D’Amore is expanding its brand to return to Toronto’s legendary former Maple Leaf Gardens.
But, before giving fans a chance to sneak into the action this weekend, there is no.
Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling returned for a two-night showdown, with Mayhem hosting at St. Clair College in Windsor showing some of the “best” of some professional wrestling.

“We had our first event last October and it was our chance to restart the brand,” D’Amore said. “Now, we will be doing a series of events this year that will start seeing maple leaves visiting the country again.
“After Windsor, we will return to the former Maple Leaf Garden on May 10, which is now the Matami Sports Center, an important date in our history.”
Founded in 1930, Maple Leaf Wrestling attracted thousands of fans to events in famous venues such as Maple Leaf Gardens. It flourished for decades under the guidance of founder Jack Corcoran and later Frank Tunney.
However, the Canadian promotion company was folded in 1984 after being promoted by Vince McMahon and the American World World Wrestling Federation.
“MLP was brought back to think that the platform is available to Canadian talent,” D’Amore said. “We showcase the best wrestling talent by presenting the best Canadian professional wrestling talent in the world.”
Windsor’s back-to-back event will debut with Bishop Dyer’s MLP (formerly known as Baron Corbin, the return of Pro Wrestling Noah Star Kaito Kiyomiya, and D’Amore promises to be a lineup of promoted Canadian and international talents from around the world.

“The NWA World Championship will defend its title at Windsor,” D’Amore said. “This is the first time in 20 years. It’s important for us.”
This match will put NWA world heavyweight champion Thom Latimer in the title against “Nomad” Bishop Dyer.
Windsor fans will also be part of Canadian wrestling history as eight women compete for the first-ever Canadian women’s championship.
The MLP Mayhem two-night tournament will decide the last two women before playing against the North Rise match in Toronto later this year.
“The Women’s Championship is a big part of this weekend,” D’Amore said. “Wrestling and entertainment have no biggest history in terms of equality and are featured in men’s and women’s sports.
“A fact that never exists is that a supervision should not be done so far.”
