The pride of Dorchester, New Brunswick, Leonce Cormier, best known as Leo Burke, was a Canadian Pro Wrestling Icon. Known to fans across the Maritimes, Leo would find his way to Stampede Wrestling, Maple Leaf Wrestling, Puerto Rico, Japan, and even occasionally have stints in the United States, under the ring name of Tommy Martin. Burke would become one of the most trusted, and most beloved trainers and mentors to some of the wrestling industry's biggest and brightest names. In this special episode of McGuire on Wrestling, you'll hear from some of those names, including: Bret "Hitman" Hart - Protege of Leo Burke's, who would go onto worldwide fame and reach the status of legend in Professional Wrestling.  One of professional wrestling's all-time greats would first learn his way around a wrestling ring, thanks to Leo Burke. "The World's Strongest Man", Mark Henry - A later student of Leo Burke's who found his way to Calgary after a rocky start in the WWE, Mark would also reach legendary status as a world champion and Hall of Fame wrestler. Rene Dupree - Son of Emile Dupree, and part of the family that owned and promoted Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling, where many would become stars, but Leo would become iconic. Renee would go on to become one of the youngest pro wrestlers to sign with WWE, and in addition to continuing his wrestling career today, hosts the popular "Cafe de Rene" Podcast. Aidan "Synn" Pringle - An accomplished independent professional wrestler and actor, Aidan Pringle is a second generation wrestler who owes a lot of his lessons in and out of the ring to Leo Burke as they would remain friends to the final minutes of Leo's life. Greg Oliver - Celebrated Author, historian and journalist, Greg would get to know Leo Burke and his family through years of wrestling coverage, and eventually be welcomed into the fold to take part in family events and memories. "Wildman" Gary Williams - Another well known professional wrestler along Canada's independent scene, Williams would follow Leo Burke throughout the Maritimes, as a fan, and eventually as a student, following Leo to Calgary to train at the invite only Bret Hart camp. Dave Meltzer - Founder of "The Wrestling Observer" Newsletter, and a historian and journalist of the professional wrestling world, Dave is a regular contributor to the McGuire on Wrestling podcasts, and offers some historical insight into Leo's impact across Canada.

HUGE WWE MONDAY NIGHT RAW STAR RETURNING FROM INJURY SOON, PER REPORT In a report from Wrestling Observer Newsletter's Dave Meltzer, it's mentioned that someone close to Vince McMahon says that while the former WWE boss is open to exploring other business ventures he doesn't plan on starting his own wrestling company. Rumors had surfaced that many within the wrestling business felt there was a good chance McMahon would start a new promotion, but it appears this latest report puts that chatter to rest. McMahon's name has been scrubbed from WWE programming and products amid the Janel Grant lawsuit. WWE 2K24 developers reportedly had to scramble in order to get McMahon and Brock Lesnar removed from the game before release. While there wasn't enough time to have their assets completely removed, McMahon and Lesnar are not selectable characters in the game. Lesnar allegedly requested explicit photos and video of Grant from McMahon. It's also alleged that Lesnar had set up a "play date" with Grant before inclement weather changed plans.

Attorney: John Laurinaitis is a victim Despite being named as a co-defendant in the lawsuit, an attorney for John Laurinaitis told VICE his client is a victim in the situation, and appeared to corroborate the claims made against McMahon. “Mr. Laurinaitis denies the allegations in the misguided complaint and will be vigorously defending these charges in court, not the media," lawyer Edward Brennan told the outet. "Like the Plaintiff, Mr. Laurinaitis is a victim in this case, not a predator. The truth will come out. "Read the allegations. Read the Federal Statute. Power, control, employment supervisory capacity, dictatorial sexual demands with repercussions if not met. Count how many times in the complaint Vince exerts control over both of them."

He talks about the chronic pain and injuries that likely led Prince to turn to painkillers in the first place, the various doctors treating the icon for both pain and possible addiction, the role that his religion may have played in his death, and the intervention that was due to take place on the very day that Prince died.
