"MAPLE LEAF PRO is saddened to hear of the passing today of 'Silent' Brian Mackney, a Maple Leaf Wrestling alumni and legend in Toronto. Mackney was more than a journeyman, who not only won the hearts of Toronto fans in the 1970s and 1980s, but gained attention around the world, competing in Japan with both New Japan Pro Wrestling and All-Japan Pro Wrestling."
Throughout his career, Mackney also worked with various NWA territories, including the Mid-Atlantic region. When the WWF took over the Toronto market, he continued performing there for several years under Vince McMahon’s banner.

"We were humbled to have 'Silent' Brian in attendance this past May for our event at the former Maple Leaf Gardens and we are proud of his place and legacy in Maple Leaf Wrestling history. We send our deepest condolences to the family, friends, and fans of the Silent Warrior during this time."
