True story : way back in the day, when I first started watching wrestling (between WrestleMania and WrestleMania 2), WWF Maple Leaf Wrestling had their own separate Canadian tapings where everyone was moved up a notch. We usually didn't get the top level guys, the mid-card and upper job guys were competitive and even got some wins. George Wells got a fair sized push (he was a former Saskatchewan Roughrider) and was, no fooling, my favorite wrestler for a bit. It damned near broke my heart when, on a visit to my grandparents in Newfoundland, I watched a US broadcast of Superstars and saw Wells being used as a jobber.

It's amazing how long we had separate things up here. You had that Maple Leaf Wrestling, but then you had Canadian Superstars is what I grew up on. Not sure how it differed outside of the name.

At some point Maple Leaf Wrestling became basically Superstars in all but name. I remember watching another show that was on the station from Kingston that was pretty much Challenge, except the last match was an arena match, usually from Toronto. I watched for the Al Perez matches and Shane Douglas' war with Haku :)

Aww, I was hoping we'd see Ivan Putski intermingling with your authentic Southeastern roster.

Sorry to disappoint, but I think you guys know how I work by now...

I have good working relationships with both of you guys, so there can be plenty of JR Hogg to go around.

 

I guess that means that ICW won't be Hogging him for themselves then.
