Autistic Dragon Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 Um, there are some pretty big gaps where I'm guessing match descriptions are supposed to go but most of them didn't load I guess. Still what there is looks solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Control21 Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 A pretty fun and diverse start to the rebirth of Maple Leaf Wrestling! Looking forward to me. I found the mixed tag team match and the Ryuma Go/Damien 666 tag team very interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spaldoni Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 Too bad about the loading problems, but I can tell Maple Leaf Wrestling will be a lot of fun. I think Neidhart can be a top guy here. You've got a nice blend of hometown talent, woman and some international stars. A lot of potential here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmcfl Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 Welcome back to the game! I agree with Spaldoni. Neidhart could be huge here. Also like all the different talents being used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autistic Dragon Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 I can read the match descriptions! Nice and detailed. Simmes gets the first win in the Maple Leaf women's division. PCO and Neidhart both look strong and could be major players going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmcfl Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 I am looking forward to seeing what you do with PCO. I don't know much about him but he looks like a star in images I have seen. Neidhart vs Mr. Saito... cool match up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LastStopTour Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 Neidhart and PCO give you two potentially big stars right off the bat. Saito isn't one to sneeze at either. Larry Winter as the technical wrestler was kind of funny especially with his pre and early ECW days involved in bloody hardcore matches. Like the formatting better this time around.

spaldoni Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 I agree with LST, the format was well done and very easy to follow. Good job getting Winters, Damien and especially the team of Knight and Walker over. Nice seeing the women getting a chance to shine. The PCO/Daniels match was a big deal for TV. I think you've made a star here with PCO. Speaking of stars, I said it last week, but Anvil is a guy you could build the territory around. I'm also expecting big things for Saito. Fun show.

LowBlowPodcast Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 You and I have spoken about Maple Leaf and what this could be. I like the choice of the Anvil as your top guy... makes sense but I think that the growth of others is going to be the major piece to this puzzle. I am excited to see some women getting some love here. Plus... PCO could be something special... perhaps we'll see more develop within our big little Canadian promotion... sky is the limit.

Control21 Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 I really like the direction of Maple Leaf Wrestling so far. The mixture of talent gives it a unique feel and having a native talent like Jim Neidhardt lead the charge only helps. Can't wait to see things continue to grow over the coming year.

NEXT WEEK AT THE MAPLE LEAF GARDENS JANUARY 28th, 1989 MAIN EVENT Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart & Matt Borne vs The Destruction Crew (Damien 666 & Tarzan Goto) Lelani Kai vs Misty Blue Simmes vs Penny Mitchell Jacques Rougeau vs Ryuma Go Richard "Le Magnifique" Charland vs Chris Walker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autistic Dragon Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 They may not have teaming together but both Champion and Royal show they're still a part of the New Breed. Quebec may be the only place in the game where I could see a Rougeau cheered. Neidhart is racking up the wins. PCO was on a roll but then he ran into Monsieur Montreal. Borne and Goto brute force their way to victory in the main event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowBlowPodcast Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 I have always heard good things about Dino as a babyface... wouldn't mind seeing how that goes here. The use of WWF guys to put some of the MLW wrestlers on the map is a great idea... January 28th is shaping up... no doubt that we've got a rocket strapped to the Anvil.

spaldoni Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 The New Breed prove they can go as solos. I've always been a fan of Zenk. He could really get over here. Candi Crush is a brilliant name for a finisher. Jacques was big in Canada and booking him on this card probably sold a lot more tickets. Damien gets the win but Walker proves he's a force. Anvil is the man here. Kai and Misty put on an impressive match. This will help get the woman over. Another big name from Canada pops up as Bravo gets a big win over PCO. I know the fans loved this. Well, the heels end the night on a sour note, but I'm sure the fans will be talking about Anvil, Jacques and Bravo. Fun card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Control21 Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 Maple Leaf delivers with another excellent card. Dino Bravo in Maple Leaf fits like a glove, and he can help take the territory to new heights if he continues to stick around. I'm loving all the old Lutte International faces in Maple Leaf, it adds a unique and homegrown flavor to a regional promotion that we lack in some other areas. I also like how they are complimented by some other very solid and underrated guys like Tarzan Goto, who was in a very fun main event. Things are looking hot in Toronto!

Autistic Dragon Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 Walker gets a magnifique win in the opener. Kei puts herself at the forefront of the Maple Leaf women's division. I'm not sure what Martin was thinking but it didn't work at Jacques paid the price. Goldie really hasn't done much in the game. Maybe this new partner can help him make a name for himself. Raymond hooks up with the Destruction Crew for a shocking closing shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlet-Left Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 Cracking build-up for the whole promotion here! I'm glad to see the women getting a lot of attention! Really cool way to build heat for Ryuma Go! Hopefully Jacques Rougeau will be able to get some measure of revenge at a later date! Dramatic way to end the show, and I'm wondering who will figure how to stop the Destruction Crew! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmcfl Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 Great events in both Montreal and Toronto. I think you did a great job of really setting up the hierarchy of your roster with both your match order and the outcomes. Glad to see you giving the women some major run. The promos for the Triple Threat Match and and the actually match were great. You really showcased what they could do in the ring and how exciting women's wrestling can be. I think your use of Bravo is awesome. He has all the talent in the world to be Big Time in Canada. Nice to see Mike Graham in a main event. I know he get a little extra push in Florida due to his father but I always thought he was a pretty good worker. Very curious who Goldie Rogers will bring in as his new partner. Just a question for you as you are much more familiar with this area then I am. I was in Montreal a few times around this time period, maybe a little later like 1991 and get a real negative feel toward English speaking people. Would Maple Leaf need to have two different broadcasts to get the same people over in the different provinces. I could really see Montreal fans clashing on who they cheered for based on language. So Bravo is an easy babyface in Montreal but would Toronto always be on the same page? Just a question. Loved the shows. Sorry for falling so far behind.

SirEdger Posted February 4 Author Report Share Posted February 4 The Montreal market was very different than nowadays, especially around that time, because you don't only need to cater to the English speaking people but most importantly the French-speaking people. You also have to understand the political and cultural ramifications in the sense that right up until what we call "La Révolution Tranquille" in the 1960s, anglophones were occupying the highest positions in society in Montreal while francophones were the run-of-the-mill typical journeymen. So yes, there were 2 sets of commentary teams and sometimes, the show would be a bit different, with some specific segments inserted and some match orders swapped out, stuff like that. As for the stuff in regards to Bravo, for instance, it always depends on the character. A Rick Martel as it stood around then, pre-Model days, would've been cheered regardless. However, Dino Bravo would've been cheered only in Montreal but would be a heel anywhere else. That was the particularity of the Montreal market when they ran Hogan vs Bravo at the Forum back then; Bravo always ended up being the babyface.

SirEdger Posted February 4 Author Report Share Posted February 4 Maple Leaf Wrestling February 4th, 1989 (Brampton, ON) The episode opens with the announcer welcoming the audience to Maple Leaf Wrestling. The crowd is pumped up and ready for an action-packed evening of wrestling. Match 1: Matt Borne vs. Bob Bradley The first match of the night features a clash between Matt Borne and Bob Bradley. Both competitors show their skills in the ring, with high-flying maneuvers and powerful strikes. After a hard-fought battle, Matt Borne secures the victory with a devastating DDT. Backstage Interview: Lelani Kai Interviewer: Hello, wrestling fans. I'm here with the former WWF Women's Champion, Leilani Kai, who will face Misty Blue Simmes later tonight. Leilani, how are you feeling about this match? Leilani Kai: I'm feeling great, because I know I'm going to beat Misty Blue. Misty Blue is nothing but a flash in the pan, a lucky rookie who got a cheap shot at the title. She doesn't have the experience, the skill, or the heart to compete with me. Interviewer: But Misty Blue has been very impressive, defeating opponents like Linda Dallas, Kat LeRoux, and Black Venus. She also has the support of the fans, who love her patriotic spirit and her high-flying moves. Leilani Kai: The fans are fools, and so are you. Misty Blue's opponents were all second-rate wrestlers, and her moves are reckless and sloppy. She relies on gimmicks and stunts to hide her lack of talent. She's not a real wrestler, she's a circus act. And tonight, I'm going to expose her for the fraud that she is. Interviewer: Well, you certainly sound confident, Leilani. But what if Misty Blue surprises you and proves to be a tougher challenge than you expect? How will you handle that? Leilani Kai: There's no way that Misty Blue can surprise me, because I've seen it all. I've been in this business for over a decade, and I've faced the best of the best. I've wrestled in Japan, Puerto Rico, and all over the world. I've trained with the legendary Fabulous Moolah, and I've held the WWF Women's Title twice. I've been in the main event of WrestleMania, and I've been part of the Rock 'n' Wrestling Connection. I've done it all, and I've seen it all. Misty Blue is nothing new, nothing special, nothing I can't handle. She's just another obstacle in my path to glory, and I'm going to crush her like a bug. Interviewer: Well, there you have it, folks. Leilani Kai is ready for her match against Misty Blue Simmes, and she's not holding back. Will she be able to back up her words, or will Misty Blue prove her wrong? We'll find out tonight, in what promises to be a historic match for women's wrestling. Back to you at the broadcast booth.

We always give our best, and we always aim for the top. Interviewer: Impressive words, gentlemen. But what about your opponents tonight? Damien 666 & Tom Zenk are also a very talented duo. How do you plan to deal with them? Chris: Damien & Zenk are nothing but a bunch of overrated, overhyped, and overconfident clowns. They may have some flashy moves and fancy outfits, but they don't have what it takes to beat us. They're all style and no substance. Sean: Exactly, Chris. Damien & Zenk are just a joke, and we're going to prove it tonight. We're going to expose their weaknesses, exploit their mistakes, and destroy their dreams. We're going to make them regret ever stepping into the ring with us. Interviewer: Strong words, indeed. Well, thank you for your time, Chris and Sean. Good luck in your match tonight.

Mike Lozanski enters the room, looking furious.] Lozanski: Hey, Rougeau! What the hell was that last week? You turned your back on Jim Neidhart, the man who took you under his wing and made you a star! Rougeau: Oh, look who's here. The loyal sidekick. The faithful follower. The pathetic lapdog. Lozanski: Don't you dare talk to me like that, you traitor! You stabbed Neidhart in the back, and for what? A cheap shot at the title? Rougeau: You don't get it, do you? Neidhart was holding me back. He was using me as his puppet, his pawn, his shield. He never cared about me, he only cared about himself. He was afraid of me, because he knew I was better than him. Lozanski: Better than him? You're nothing but a coward, Rougeau. You couldn't beat him fair and square, so you had to resort to what you did. You're a disgrace to this business, and to this locker room. Rougeau: You're the one who's a disgrace, Lozanski. You're a nobody, a loser, a nobody. You're nothing without Neidhart, and you know it. You're just jealous of me, because I have what it takes to be a champion. Lozanski: Jealous of you? Ha! Don't make me laugh, Rougeau. You're not a champion, you're a chump. And you'll find out soon enough, when you face me in the ring tonight. Rougeau: Oh, I'm shaking in my boots, Lozanski. You think you can beat me? You think you can avenge Neidhart? You're dreaming, pal. You're in way over your head. You don't have the guts, the skill, or the heart to take me on. Lozanski: Well, we'll see about that, Rougeau. We'll see who has the guts, the skill, and the heart. We'll see who walks out of that ring as the winner, and who crawls out as the loser. We'll see who's the real man, and who's the real coward. Rougeau: Bring it on, Lozanski. Bring it on. I'm ready for you. I'm ready to end your career, and to prove to the world that I'm the best. I'm ready to make you pay for your loyalty, your stupidity, and your betrayal. Lozanski: You're the one who's going to pay, Rougeau. You're the one who's going to suffer, to bleed, to beg for mercy. You're the one who's going to regret the day you crossed me, and the day you crossed Neidhart. You're the one who's going to wish you never stepped foot in this business, and never met me.

Autistic Dragon Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 The Maniac mauls Bradley. Kei talked the talk but couldn't walk the walk against Simmes. Bennett and Robin have the making of a fun team. The New Breed show MLW why they're the future. I have no idea who Lozanski is but he stepped up for Neidhart and I gotta say he did a pretty good job. Speaking of the Anvil, he and Saito are a perfect hoss tag team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
