The long-awaited return of Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling

Maple Leaf Wrestling was a major and historic player in Canada's pro wrestling industry for over half a century, until it folded in the '80s.

Today on Commotion, guest host Ali Hassan speaks with wrestling fan Sarah Kurchak about the history of the Maple Leaf wrestling brand, and what its return might signal for the future of wrestling in Canada.
