Scott D'Amore discusses both main events.
Maple Leaf Pro stormed back onto the scene in October 2024, hosting two action-packed events at the St. Clair College in Windsor, Ontario, Canada.
The show's first night was headlined by a match between Konosuke Takeshita and Mike Bailey. The second night's main event featured Takeshita defending the AEW International Championship against Josh Alexander.
While chatting with Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful for a new interview, D'Amore reflected on the matches, saying that he could not have asked for two better main events.
"I think it would be hard to ask for two better main events and going up and down the card, think, honestly, just about everybody played their role perfectly and delivered. So I'm excited. It's daunting to follow that up. No question. Like I'm not going to BS you."
Then, D'Amore explained his decision to switch gears with the main event matches for MLP Mayhem.
"Following those two main events. How do you do it? That's why we switch gears and now we have two big houses that are go out there and have a traditional classic World Championship style match-up and then on night two, we're going to highlight the very best in tag team wrestling where we have the Kingdom and the Time Splitters that are, I know are going to take tag team wrestling and just elevated here as part of Maple Leaf Pro. Then you've got PCO, he's going to come in here like he's not coming in here to do catch-as-catch can wrestling. He's coming in here for a street fight. So there's going to be craziness and Michael Allen, Richard Clark, the man with the longest name in professional wrestling, who I probably need to talk to him about that. He's going to get to experience what it's like to deal with the total lunatic when he, when he gets in there with PCO. So when you don't have those, those Josh Alexander / Takeshita, Mike Bailey / Takeshita style matches, then you go out and you diversify your style. You do a little bit more hardcore. You lean in more onto the female side of the things, where we've shown over the last many years that the women are able to go out there and perform just as well and some nights better than the men and you lean into a little bit more of the hoss fights."
Fans can watch both nights of Maple Leaf Pro Mayhem on Triller TV.
