A staple of one's Maritime youth... before there was Vince McMahon and his glitzy WWF on Saturday's there was Emile Dupre's Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling on ATV. The time slot changed around every now and then and the cards were usually held during the summer months as places on the tour like the Halifax Forum, The Sydney Forum and the Berwick Arena had the ice in...but however when hockey season was over it was time for some good old fashioned wrestling and the people had their favorites too like Leo Burke and Big Stephen Pettipas and the ol fashioned bad guys like Killer Karl Krupp, No Class Bobby Bass and some who switched over like the Cuban Assassin.. good memories....Grand Prix was revived in the late 90s with a hugely successful legends tour and continued to tour the Maritimes until the summer of 2008...i think it is time for another Grand Prix revival...agree?
