Missouri Wrestling Revival

Straight from the desk of ECW Press from Toronto Canada.

Brian Kelley of the highly-respected Missouri Wrestling Revival website has been requested to represent ECW Press from Toronto at the SICW Wrestling Explosion show Saturday, Sept. 17 at the East Carondelet Community Center.

Michael Holmes, the editor for ECW Press, asked Kelley to discuss the wrestling books ECW has published, in particular those by Larry Matysik from St. Louis. Holmes noted that Brian is very familiar with Matysik’s books Wrestling at the Chase, Brody and Drawing Heat the Hard Way.

The key focus of Kelley’s talk will be Matysik’s new book about the “50 greatest wrestlers of all time”, which Larry is finishing now and will be out late next spring.

Jeff Vernetti of Sports Talk Radio 1380 will be doing the interview with Brian Kelley.

The main event Sept. 17 is a Classic Championship match between titleholder Ron Powers and challenger Chris Hargas.
