As many as you may already know a good friend and family member of MECW has passed away. His name is Kenny and he was one of our biggest fans and He never missed a show. Every time I would arrive at the venue he would have a kind word or a funny joke every time I saw him. And that kind of dedication and love does not go unnoticed. That is why January 26 we are dedicating the entire show to Kenny. MECW and the fuzzy hat club will commemorate his chair in memory good friend.

Art work Rob Schamberger
As seen on PWTorch, We are thrilled to announce that we will be ending the MWR Trading card set with the biggest star EVER in the Midwest. That man is none other than the former 8-time NWA Worlds Champion and Hall of Famer, Harley Race.
This fall it was announced that Missouri native Harley Race would be inducted into the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame this weekend. Race has been inducted into every reputable wrestling Hall of Fame from around the world, yet it is hard to believe that he has yet been a member of this one in an area where Pro Wrestling was considered by many to be “the” place to work under Sam Muchnick years ago. Muchnick and the great Lou Thesz are the only men that this HOF has honored so it is with great anticipation that Race will be inducted as well.
Race and pro Wrestling has been synonymous around the world. His impact has been felt on many stars from yesterday to today. Many of the men and women that are in the MWR Trading card set have been trained by Race including former 3-time Tag Team Champion Trevor Murdock, Steve Fender, Miss Natural, Elvis Aliaga , Mark Sterling, Kevin Von Erich’s son Ross and Marshal, and current NTX wrestler Brian Breaker. At the same time others have been influenced by watching him when they were younger or studying video tapes of some of the greatest matches in the history of the sport.
So it was with great excitement when Mr. Race agreed to be a part of the MWR Trading card set so it is a great honor to have one of my heroes and a main reason why I am a wrestling fan to end the first ever MWR Trading card set.
To make the card even more special we have teamed up with the hottest artist in wrestling today, Rob Schamberger to do the artwork for the card. Schamberger has been featured on WWE.COM and is currently painting every World Champion in the history of Pro Wrestling.
So the time could not be any better with number 100 and his induction into the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame as MWR is about to deliver a trading card that collectors will cherish for years to come.

strong>Editors Note: As a strong support of quality pro wrestling, I am always open to hear from some of the top minds in the pro wrestling from the past to present to what makes a successful wrestling show. At the time same time I have experienced some very intelligent men and women in the Midwest succeed and fail over the past five years.
