This started from the late 50s before some of us were born and have continued even till today.
While some international, current and aspiring talents are nurturing the idea of showcasing themselves on the shores of Africa; the world’s second largest and second most populous continent after Asia McLaren says he cannot wait any longer to be in action in the most populated black nation of the world which boasts of a lot of professional wrestling opportunities yet to be tapped.
The planned coming to Africa in the future of Magnum McLaren, a generational talent, actor and a Canadian superstar would not be an exemption as the great talent who hails from Sudbury, Ontario, Canada is eager to showcase his wrestling prowess in Nigeria.
It is important to note that the North American country has produced world talents like Bret Hart, two-time WWE Hall of Famer Bret “Hitman” Hart, a Canadian icon who was a seven-time World Champion and captured 32 championships title, including the triple crown of top titles in both the WWF and WCW.

He was an AAA Star Hockey player and started wrestling when he was 13 years old. He was trained by his father Big Daddy Diamond, a skillful trainer who also doubles as his manager and bodyguard. His Great Grandfather was the original Great Malenko in the 50s, so Magnum has wrestling running in his vein from generation to generation.

The Skillful Canadian grappler who has Tripple H as the personality he wishes to meet has toured some nations on pro- wrestling which includes; Puerto Rico, USA, Mexico and Canada and now focused on Africa.
