 Storm Brings Wrestling Back to Calgary
After a 21 year professional wrestling career, Lance Storm has decided to take his role in the business a step further. It all began when Lance Evers, known as Lance Storm by wrestling fans, quietly announced on his website on Sunday May 29, 2011 his intentions to create his own pro-wrestling promotion.
“I’ve always wanted to be a promoter,” said Storm, who made the announcement on his website, stormwrestling.com. “And my dream has finally come true.”
Since the World Wrestling Federation’s takeover of Calgary based Stampede Wrestling in 1984, Canada has been missing a number one wrestling promotion. Many have come and gone, such as the Ontario based Border City Wrestling. Despite a long history of failure, Storm believes his can deliver.
“I’ve worked hard to get this up and running and I will not let it fall easily,” said Storm.
The new promotion, named Maple Leaf Wrestling, is expecting to make its debut in early June. According to the head honcho Lance Storm, the roster will be comprised of his students from the Storm Wrestling Academy, and up and coming independent workers.
“They are the future of the business and it is my honor to present their talent to the public.”
Lance Storm is eager to get started and stated that the very first show will, “hit the ground running.” For more information regarding the promotion and Lance Storm’s wrestling school, visit his website www.stormwrestling.com. |

So great this is back and a re-boot idea seems cool. The roster looks epic, makes me wish I signed up someone better than Yamato now. Hopefully you don't introduce all 3 titles staight away. This is all looking good so far and can't wait for more. Good luck.

All looking good so far. The tourney has alot of big names in it and I wonder who you will put the title on. The tag match should be intresting, could see Bock and Jacobs being the main team in MLW. The triple threat should also be good but suprised you put Curtis in this match and not in the tournument. Good luck and keep this up.

MAPLE LEAF WRESTLING “A STORM IS BREWING: NIGHT 1” JUNE 10, 2011 RESULTS
The atmosphere in the jammed packed gymnasium was exuberant as hundreds were anticipating the start of the first Maple Leaf Wrestling event. Finally, the fans had to wait no more as the owner, Lance Storm, entered the ring to a barrage of cheers. Storm stood in the ring in silence, until the fans quieted down. He began, “If I could be serious for a minute…” Suddenly, the crowd exploded. He went on to thank the fans for coming out to the inaugural MLW event and promised them to deliver an entertaining show tonight. The opening contest will be the triple threat match between Cody Rejero, Devin Curtis, and Drew Parkland.
Devin Curtis def. Cody Rejero and Drew Parkland with the 450 Splash
Perfect way to introduce the fans to the Maple Leaf Wrestling style as these three talented young men put on one exciting match up. While Devin Curtis and Drew Parkland wowed with their impressive athleticism and highflying maneuvers, Cody Rejero surprised them with his pure dominance. In the early goings, Rejero had the upper hand, until Curtis and Parkland combined their abilities and eliminated Rejero from contention. However, following their short alliance, Curtis hit the 450 Splash for the victory.
Before the start of the next match, Safu Anoa’i, accompanied by his manager Lou Glamsley, entered the ring. Due to Safu unable to speak fluent English, Glamsley spoke for his client. He told the fans that Safu will be the next dominant force in professional wrestling, and his quest for superiority will begin tonight. It was then announced that the next match would be between Safu and Jason Williams in the first match of the MLW Heavyweight title tournament.
MLW Heavyweight Championship Tournament: Safu Anoa’i def. Jason Williams with the Samoan Drop
It appears that Lou Glamsley was correct that Safu Anoa’i was the next dominant force in wrestling, as Safu just manhandled his opponent, Jason Williams. At the beginning of the bout, Williams brought everything but the kitchen sink at Safu, but it just was not enough. Following a monstrous clothesline that sent Williams over the top rope, Safu dominated the match. After less than five minutes, Safu was advancing onto the next round.
MLW Heavyweight Championship Tournament: Chris Hammers def. Jason Star with the Blood Rush
In the second, first round match of the tournament, Chris Hammers and Jason Star put on a decent match. While the two lacked the chemistry, they did deliver and entertaining, back and forth match, much different from the previous match. Early on, it looked as if Hammers would pull away, but Star kept getting back up after every move by his opponent. Finally, Hammers set Star up for the Shooting Star Press, only for it to be countered as Star rolled out of the ring. With Hammers crippled from the missed SSP, Star took advantage and hit him with a variety of suplexes. To put Hammers down for the count, he attempted the Double Underhook Piledriver. However, Hammers escaped from Star’s grasp and hit the Blood Rush (Stalled Angel’s Wings) out of nowhere. Subsequently, Hammers pinned his opponent for the win.
*INTERMISSION*
Mike Bockwinkel & Nick Jacobs def. Petey Williams & Tyson Dux with the Bockwinkel Special
The second half of the event got underway, as it was time for the hotly anticipated tag team match. The crowd was very hot coming off the intermission, cheering heavily for Petey Williams and Tyson Dux, and booing the hell out of Bockwinkel and Nick Jacobs. After taunting the crowd for a number of minutes, Williams and Dux got sick of their shenanigans and attacked from behind. The two teams brawled throughout the ring until the referee restored order. The rest of the match was a standard tag team bout, Bockwinkel and Jacobs made frequent tags as they separated Dux from his partner. However, after a burst of momentum, Dux tagged in Williams, who ran in fresh and ready to fight. It looked over when Williams hit the Canadian Destroyer on Jacobs, but Bockwinkel managed to break up the pin. The finish came when Bockwinkel hit Dux with a chair while Jacobs had the ref’s attention. This led to Bockwinkel hitting the Bockwinkel Special on Dux for the victory.
After the pin, the two teams continued to fight, showing great hate towards each other. The post-match brawl continued until multiple referees ran to the ring and separated the two teams. As they were escorted out of the ring, Bockwinkel and Jacobs both gave Dux and Williams the finger.
MLW Heavyweight Championship Tournament: Jin Yamato def. Lord David Smith with the Rising Sun
In what was probably one of the stiffest bouts the fans have ever seen, the top puro indy star Jin Yamato took on the snobby Lord David Smith in a very back and forth, technically sound match. As soon as the bell rang, these two knocked the daylights out of each other. Trading blow for blow, these two gave it their all, and by the end of the match, it looked as if there would be no clear-cut winner. However, after Yamato dodged the Coronation (Diving Headbutt), he managed to hit the Rising Sun (Burning Hammer) on his opponent for the victory. As Yamato celebrated his win, he offered to shake his opponent’s hand. Instead, Smith shoved Yamato away and walked off. Looks like a future feud could be in the works.
Before the main event got started, Lance Storm came out to once again thank the fans for making it to the first Maple Leaf Wrestling show. He then announced that tomorrow night’s show would feature the semi-finals of the MLW Heavyweight Championship tournament, and another appearance from the tag team of Tyson Dux and Petey Williams. In addition, the St. Louis Connection, consisting of Devin Curtis and Evan Pagano, will make their debut. Before leaving, Storm promises this is an event you don’t want to miss!
After making his entrance, Kevin Hart, wearing pink and black tights, got on the microphone to introduce himself. He claimed to be a long lost member of the Hart family, which easily got him over with the crowd. He then stated that it is his goal to continue the family tradition, and it starts by becoming the first MLW Heavyweight Champion. His promo was interrupted, though, when Evan Pagano entered with his confident strut. The two stared each other down until the referee signaled for the bell.
MLW Heavyweight Championship Tournament: Kevin Hart def. Evan Pagano with the Sharpshooter
Tonight’s main event was easily the match of the night, as Evan Pagano and Kevin Hart displayed their great potential and excellent chemistry. At first, Pagano seemed very cocky; messing with the smaller Kevin Hart, but once Hart got a good shot on Pagano he knew he meant business. The twenty-minute match had the fans sitting on the edge of their seat, cheering for the Calgary native Kevin Hart. The many false finishes added to the match, and it was indeed a great way to end the first MLW show. When the actual finish came, the fans went nuts. Pagano went for his finisher, the Calling, but Hart managed to counter the move into a Sharpshooter. Pagano fought to break the submission, but it was too much, as he soon tapped out, and Hart was advancing to the semi-finals. He celebrated until the show ended.
NEXT SHOW: “A STORM IS BREWING: NIGHT 2” JUNE 11, 2011 |

Small thing but "Chris Hammers" and "Jason Star" have been feuding in various promotions since at least 2005. Have held numerous tag team titles, and are both in the SFF Hall of Fame for their feuds against each other. I doubt they'd lack chemistry against each other.
That's if we're going with a "all these sign up feds are related to each other" logic. Fun show though, would like to see Jin or Kevin in the finals of the tournament.

Kinda needs a graphic me thinks. Lol at Storm brilliant. Glad Curtis won, he seemed like the most stand out name out of the three. I'm loving Safu with the monster gimmick, esp as he destroyed Jason. Could be an early early favourite. I always think that each sim has it's own universe despite any connections between promotions (SNW/TCW example) otherwise you'd have various mishaps like the one above. Good to see Bock and Jacobs going over the real characters but a rematch is a given. F'N love the write up for Jin/Lord I kinda thought the Lord would be built up huge but you did that despite him picking up the loss. Great main event to end off and the result could have gone either way. Looks like your building Hart up to be your top face. Good luck and keep this up.

Not all that familiar with every athlete, but I know who Jin Yamato is. I'm glad he won. I would have to agree with Red Dragon here. This needs a pretty little graphic to put the cherry on top. Maybe something simple like MLW over a Canadian flag. I'm guessing by the schedule and roster size that this is an indy sized fed.
