The history of pro wrestling in Arctic Canada

Dating all the way back to 1898, it's the history of pro wrestling in Arctic Canada!

We've tried to cover all the bases and share information surrounding every wrestling promotion to ever visit the Arctic Canada region! Learn about the earliest champions of the region, the legends that have visited, the farthest north pro wrestling events ever held, the world's farthest north wrestling promotion, the title belts that have been exclusive to the Canadian Arctic and some interesting stories surrounding the events that have taken place and the wrestlers that have visited some of the most remote places pro wrestling has ever taken place.

From Frank Gotch to Dynamite Kid, Stampede Wrestling and Smash Wrestling in Toronto, the Canadian Death Tour and the stars who have completed it like Chris Jericho, Kenny Omega, Lance Storm, Don Callis, Edge and Christian, to the first wrestling promotion to be based above the Arctic Circle, it's all here.

With tons of great information from first hand research, amazing sources like Vance Nevada's (Un)Controlled Chaos and Pain and Passion: The History of Stampede Wrestling and Mark Hewitt's excellent work uncovering Frank Gotch's history in the Yukon, this is the exhaustive history of pro wrestling in Arctic Canada.

We travel from the Yukon to the Northwest Territories and Northern Manitoba and then back east to Northern Quebec and Canada's youngest province Nunavut.
