Tour promoter, and former wrestler, Danny Warren says Canada still loves the old style wrestlers like Brutus because it bridges the gap between the older generation of fans and the new ones.
鈥淏ig names bring in fans and they in turn bring in their children who are just becoming fans. We鈥檙e about community,鈥� said Warren. 鈥淚 feel like wrestling is a family sport because it鈥檚 becoming less and less about sex and violence, and people understand and appreciate what wrestling is now. It鈥檚 OK to be a wrestling fan in 2018.鈥�

With this current 32 event tour, and with past tours, the CWE looks at putting on approximately 100 shows this year.
鈥淣o other wrestling companies other than the WWE are doing this amount of shows,鈥� Warren said. 鈥淲restlers from all over the world want to join the CWE, and that drives the hunger for the sport so we can keep doing shows in smaller arenas.鈥�
