Returning to Canada from Europe in 1936, Eddie agreed to have as his manager [[Bob Penman]], Edmonto business man, instead of [[Mike Kaplinski]], his old mentor. In his first battle under the new mentor, Eddie knocked out [[Jimmy White]], St. Paul bruiser. He then travelled to Winnipeg where he (knocked out) decisioned [[Charlie Belanger]].

The bout with Buxton was held in Vancouver and poor Sonny hit the canvas 11 times. He dropped decisions to [[Fred Lenhardt]] and [[Buddy Knox]], the 'Dayton Thunderbolt', a ranking heavyweight. The loss to Lenhardt was due to a broken hand. In a return bout, however, Wenstob proceeded to give Lenhardt an old fashioned ball park licking.
