He learned pro wrestling in South Florida. Now he’s helping run a growing wrestling company

Major League Wrestling Chief Operating Officer Mister Saint Laurent grew up in South Florida, graduating from Taravella High School in Coral Springs.

Trained by WWE alum Duke the Dumpster Droese in Miami, MSL wrestled and managed on the Florida indies. He also did commentary and worked behind the scenes -- booking and running shows. A wearer of many hats, he even wrote pro wrestling show recaps for the Miami Herald online.

Debuting in 2004, Mister Saint Laurent (aka Jared David) has worked for AWA World-1 South, D1PW, FIP, NWA Florida, Pro Wrestling RIOT, Ring of Honor, Southern Championship Wrestling, Vintage Wrestling, I Believe in Wrestling and more.

MSL has been involved in publishing and marketing, too.

His complete attention these days is to MLW. The stellar company continues to grow, preparing for its inaugural pay-per-view and a women’s wrestling division. Two more milestones in its evolution.

MLW will also be returning to Orlando in November.

In an audio interview I conducted with Mister Saint Laurent, he discusses MLW’s first PPV, the company’s outstanding talent pool, adding a women’s division, his background, the emergence of Salina de la Renta and more. To listen, click just below.

There exists a regalness with Mister Saint Laurent. He is the great grandson of former Canadian Prime Minister Louis St. Laurent.
