When Travis Cook strikes you know that it will be well planned. A few months ago Dave Vaughn nailed the Manager of Champions Cook with a vicious spear that had rumblings within the sport that it had sent him into retirement.

Since then Cook has been missing in action, though he has made an impact in the political game with his “America’s Evil Genius” show speaking on various topics such as “Was the death of Bin Laden legal? Or Obama backs illegal immigration – How it could cost him the election in 201?

For the fans that would like to check out Travis Cook’s America’s Evil Genius click here. Remember the opinions expressed of Travis Cook are the views of Cook himself and do not necessarily reflect the views and opinions of Missouri Wrestling Revival.

While Cook has been making enemies in the government (Some things never change) he had been an afterthought.

That is till April 30th in Caseyville Illinois when he surprised the fans by coming out with his ace in the hole Brandon Espinosa against the Caseyville Kid and the man who took him out Dave Vaughn.

The end result was a reminder to Vaughn and the MWR fans that Cook can strike at any time and any place when Espinosa took home a big win.

We caught up with Cook who was feeling very good about the victory.
