10 Best WWE Matches Ever To Take Place In Canada

WWE.comThe WWE has enjoyed a long and successful history promoting in Canada, with Canadian soil proving the home of some of the greatest wrestling matches of all time. This all stems right back to the original founding of the WWF, with Toronto as an obvious market for Vince McMahon given the proximity to New York. Over in Calgary meanwhile was veteran promoter Stu Hart, who had operated Stampede Wrestling for multiple decades. Vince learned from Stu, adopting some of his television production, taking some of his concepts in promoting. This eventually extended to McMahon even signing Stu's sons, Bret and Owen, who would go on to become megastars for the WWF and legitimate Canadian heroes. By the 90's we had seen the WWF establish a permanent office in Canada, with leadership in the form of Jack Tunney and later Carl DeMarco. Promoting events in the Canadian market was of vital importance to the 90's WWF, even more so after McMahon positioned Bret Hart as his number one guy. Shows in Montreal, Toronto and Calgary all became big business, as did the smaller towns throughout the provinces. Even after Bret Hart left the WWF, Canada was still a company hotbed, with 2002's WrestleMania packing out 68,000 people in Toronto's Skydome. Into recent years and to this very day, we continue to see great shows booked in Canada, adding to a legacy of the nation as host to some of the finest wrestling matches of all time. Here we examine the 10 best matches ever to take place in the Maple Leaf country.
