The rich history of professional wrestling in Ontario comes alive in chaotic detail in a new book by a pair of veteran Canadian wrestling journalists...

Expertly researched and interestingly compiled, would recommend to any wrestling historians (the dates, title histories and trivia are tops) as well as anyone with an interest in Toronto / Canadian wrestling history.

This was a really enjoyable read if you're into the history of Toronto wrestling and the key people involved running the city. Tons of historical notes on attendance, ups and downs in the city, the good and bad of The Sheik from '69-'77, the Mid-Atlantic years and into the WWF's foothold from '84 onward.
-John Pollock Post Wrestling

I really enjoyed this book, learned a lot about MLG wrestling, good read.
-Mark Bujan.

So much information on the great history of Toronto's Maple Leaf Wrestling. It will be a great reference guide for anyone interested in learning more about Maple Leaf Wrestling as we know it today!
