CANADIAN PRO WRESTLING LEGACY
Is it sport or is it entertainment? To wrestler and newly published author Vance Nevada, you can call it whatever you want, as long as you recognize the significance of pro wrestling’s legacy on the Canadian sporting / entertainment landscape over the past century.
Vance Nevada, originally from Souris, Manitoba, got his start in pro wrestling in 1993 grappling in Winnipeg community centres. Early in his career, he developed an interest in the history of his industry and as his career has gone national, he has spent countless hours in libraries and archives, scanning old newspapers, talking to wrestling alumni, and assembling the pieces for one of the most complete references on the mat game ever assembled.
