Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling has announced that they will be running their first show at the site of the former Maple Leaf Gardens.

The Toronto Metropolitan University’s Mattamy Athletic Centre takes up part of the original site and will host MLP’s Northern Uprising event on May 11th.

The road to Northern Uprising will roll through Windsor, Canada, as MLP will present two events at St. Clair College in Windsor on March 14 and 15. MLP Mayhem will set a course for Maple Leaf Pro’s return to the Garden’s site two months later.

MLP President Scott D’Amore said: “Four generations of wrestling fans – including myself and superstars like Adam ‘Edge’ Copeland and Jay ‘Christian Cage’ Reso – fell in love with this sport at the former Maple Leaf Gardens. One of the major ambitions of relaunching MLP was to reforge that legacy and bring wrestling back to sacred ground. Mark your calendars – Maple Leaf Pro: Northern Uprising will be the most exciting and most historic night of independent wrestling of the summer.”

“D’Amore added that fans will see the Northern Uprising super-card take shape at the two-night MLP: Mayhem event on March 14 and March 15. The back-to-back events in Windsor will feature the MLP debut of Bishop Dyer (Baron Corbin) the return of Pro Wrestling Noah star Kaito Kiyomiya along with what D’Amore promises will be a stacked line up of Canadian and international talent from promotions around the world,” stated the MLP news release.

Tickets for Mayhem in Windsor go on sale this Monday, February 3, at 10am ET. Two night ticket packages start at $40. For more information visit mlpwrestling.com.

TrillerTV will stream Mayhem and Northern Uprising live and internationally.
