I became a wrestling fan in 1986 around the time of Wrestlemania 2 and have been a fan to varying degrees ever since. I write at here about my fandom, from the beginning until now.
Maple Leaf Gardens was a holy place for a wrestling fan in the mid-to-late 1980s. I also watched action in Newmarket, Ontario. Later I got more involved in the wrestling business with independent promotions in Ontario, including Whipper Watson, Jr.'s Teen Pro Wrestling and Midget Mania, plus a late-1990s promotion called Renegade Wrestling Alliance (RWA) run by Steve 'Hart' Buckley.
I'll be telling the story with lots of original full-colour pictures. My dad took many of them. I took many more.
