What Happened To Canadian Superstar Wrestlers


Hounds Of Justice

Recommended Posts

Other then Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn where are the great Canadian superstars I remember when I was a kid, we had the Harts etc in the 80's, Jericho, Benoit, Edge & Christian etc but I don't see many big time wrestlers from Canada anymore, anyone clue me up on who they think will get to the WWE one day and be a big star from good ol Canada.

To be fair, one of the earliest memories I have of wrestling is watching the WrestleMania 6 tape and being outraged at what that cheating bastard Hacksaw Duggan did to Dino. Hitting him with a fucking plank? That's not fair.

 

If I only I knew then what I know now.

Bravo ruined a lot of Silver Vision releases. Its odd with Bravo, because he was on seemingly every video every released, shitting up your purchase, yet he never had a Hasbro. Which tells me the demand for him was less than zero. Anyone else hate him as much as me? Christ, I just remember watching those old videos when I was a kid and when he turned up it was the only feeling similar to hearing Londons Burning's theme on a Sunday night, knowing to was time for bed.

I have edited it to get rid of the comment of Dino Bravo as it obviously angered everyone and got past the point I was making, anyone got anything good to say about this question I asked lol.

 

To be fair, you sort of answered your own question before you even asked it. The two hottest stars in NXT, each more over than almost anybody on the main roster, are Canadians. On the main roster you've got one half of the tag champs and one of their most heavily featured Divas. Over in TNA, you've got Bobby Roode and Eric Young, two of their biggest stars.

When I was a kid I didn't really know about workrate or whatever and I lapped up most wrestling but there were a few guys I just absolutely hated for being so utterly fucking boring that they had bad matches before I even knew what my definition of a bad match was. Bravo, Tito and IRS were on my list. I hated he Bushwackers too but that's more to do with finding them utterly stupid.

 

As for great Canadian wrestlers, Rick Martel has to be up there.

 

As for where they are now, I suspect the lack of a full-time territory and a legendary training "school" haven't helped.
