Seven months after being terminated from his role as President of TNA Wrestling, Scott DAmore has moved forward, launching the Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling promotion in Ontario, Canada. With their first series of shows set for October, DAmore is ready to reshape the Canadian wrestling scene.
After his departure from Anthem Sports & Entertainment, DAmore didnt sit idle. He revealed on K100 w/ Konnan & Disco that he even tried to buy TNA Wrestling after he was let go, stating that his vision for the rebranded TNA was strong. However, despite his offer to acquire the company and take it to the next level, the deal didnt materialize.
With the sting of his exit behind him, DAmore focused on his next projectMaple Leaf Pro. One of his goals is to spotlight Canadian talent, which he feels has often been overlooked due to the complications of work visas and cross-border opportunities. He noted that his mission is to help Canadian wrestlers get seen and recognized on a bigger stage.
Maple Leaf Pro is not just a one-man operation. DAmore has assembled a stellar production team, including longtime wrestling producer Keith Mitchell, who is coming out of retirement to help. Mitchells storied career spans World Class Championship Wrestling, WCWs Nitro and Thunder, and stints with TNA and AEW. DAmore expressed his excitement about working with Mitchell, stating, For Keith to come up and be part of the team, its an honor. He has so much knowledge, and hes one of the best.
As Maple Leaf Pro gears up for its debut, fans are eager to see how DAmores vision will unfold and how the promotion will contribute to the wrestling landscape in Canada.
