Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling (MLPW), the newest venture in the Canadian wrestling scene, is poised to make its highly anticipated debut with the Forged in Excellence event this weekend, October 19-20, 2024, at St. Clair College in Windsor, Ontario. Headed by Scott D’Amore, this two-night extravaganza promises to deliver action-packed matches featuring some of the biggest names in pro wrestling today.
The Rise of Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling
Scott D’Amore, a veteran of the wrestling business and executive for Impact Wrestling, has taken the lead in reviving the Maple Leaf Wrestling legacy by launching MLPW, building on the foundation laid decades ago by Jack Corcoran and later the Tunney family. This new iteration aims to blend the legacy of Canadian wrestling with the dynamic energy of today’s global wrestling scene.
