With summer here, it's time to announce
another tour for Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling in the Canadian Maritime
provinces.
Rene Dupree, one of the leading gaijins
wrestling in Japan, working for the Wrestle-1 promotion, is once again
spearheading the tour.
While on tour in Japan, Dupree told SLAM!
Wrestling what fans can expect this year.
"Fans can expect they'll be getting
their money's worth for their price of admission," he said, promising
"passionate wrestlers living their dreams."
Names booked for the tour include Dupree,
Yasufumi Nakanoue, the Cuban Assassin, Bobby Sharpe, and Jeremy Prophet.
Naturally, there are a lot of traditional
stops from previous tours of Atlantic Grand Prix, which dates back to the 1970s
when his father, Emile, ran the territory -- which was always a favourite for
the wrestlers because of the short drives, wonderful weather and Maritime
hospitality.

Dupree concedes that he learned quite a bit
from running a very similar tour last year.
"I learned that setting up the ring,
tearing it down, booking the show, doing the ring announcing and wrestling
20-30 minutes every night, seven nights a week, will drive you insane," he
chuckled.
Promising "Tomorrow's Superstars Today,"
Dupree is certainly eager to get Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling out of the gate
for another season.
