"My guy, a great babyface in the Maritimes and a great babyface and heel elsewhere. He was influenced by Patt O'Connor and he was an influence on Bret Hart. " Dave Musgrave (not the high voter)
"I wish there was more footage of his work available. It’s a shame to hear about the Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling video library being destroyed in a fire. We can only imagine what classics were worked. From the footage that is available, Leo Burke is clearly a clever wrestler. He was a great old school wrestler. Bret Hart learned a lot from watching and with Leo Burke. Bret Hart even mentioned in a Slam! Wrestling article online that he thinks Leo Burke is one of the best Canadian wrestlers ever. Burke had great performances in Canada and in Puerto Rico." stunning_grover
