Stephen Petitpas (born November 14, 1957) is a Canadian professional wrestler.

Professional wrestling career

Petitpas was born in Soest, Germany.

Maritimes, Petitpas always wrestled as a face (fan favorite).[3]

Petitpas traveled around the world to compete during his career, including wrestling tours of Germany, Japan, and India. He had five matches against

Super Destroyer.[4] He also won the AGPW Maritimes Heavyweight Championship on two occasions, winning the inaugural title and later defeating Super Destroyer to regain the belt.[5]

Wrestling in the

When Duprée decided to stop promoting shows, he sold AGPW to Petitpas and Leo Burke. In 1988 and 1989, he ran shows in addition to operating the Atlantic Wrestling School. His most famous trainee at the school was Robert Maillet, who went on to wrestle in the WWF as Kurrgan. Petitpas found it difficult to compete with the WWF in the Maritimes and ultimately closed his promotion.[3][7]

Canadian wrestler Buddy Lane has called Petitpas's career "the biggest waste of talent ever" in wrestling, as Petitpas was given opportunities to wrestle for larger companies but chose to remain in the Maritimes.[3] He has three children, a daughter and two sons.
