Editor’s note: Kraig Keesaman the rough and tough wrestler who once challenged for the NWA Missouri title, captured the 3XW Pure Championship from Tyler Cook after being trained by wrestling great Sonny Meyers.

I have had many fans ask “Where is Kraig Kessaman now?

So without any further wait I give you the answer from the man himself.

Recently I opened the Windy Wine Company in Osborn Missouri. As with wrestling, this is something that I take a lot of pride and enjoyment in doing. Being so new to the wine industry, I tried to make the best product available with the little equipment and supplies that I had access to. This past month I received what would be the same as a championship title belt.

The award was a Gold medal at the Missouri Wine Competition held in Jefferson City. The contest was held on the 1st and 2nd of August. Many different wineries submitted over 230 different wines for the contest. Our Good News Red received the highest medal of Gold. Gold medal wines then went to be judged at the Governor’s Cup Contest which is the highest competition in the state. At this contest, the Gold medal winning Good News Red took another honor of best in class, semi-sweet red. This is very humbling for us and a very high honor in the wine business.

Good News Red is a Sangria style wine that is made from Concord Grapes, Strawberries, Raspberries and citrus fruit; it is our most popular wine. Our other wines include Apple and Pear Wines, a dry red wine and semi-sweet blush, and various types of Meads (for the inner Viking Warrior in us all).

In the future, look for Blackbelt Brewery by the end of 2012 as well as a special wine (codename: Grapple) to play tribute to my other passion, Professional Wrestling.

We want to thank everyone for a great start to our winery! We are now open as of May 1st! We are working hard to supply you with the best wines we can. Always be on the lookout for our new varieties! Right now you can find our wines at:

Some have ask about our women and fantasy camp, what do I need?

First…. this is a hands on session Not a seminar, we have two (2) rings in the academy so you will get ring time.

Second physicals…. we are using your judgement on these sessions, we are going to ask for a wavier, and reserve the right to suspend your physical activity during the camp if the trainers see you having major trouble.

Travis Cook is not all smiles today as news came in that he will be gone till Oct 1st 2012- Photo Mike Van Hoogstraat.

At a card August 18 at the East Carondelet Community Center, Ironman Ken Kasa, who is managed by Travis  Cook, lost a controversial decision to Classic Wrestling Champion Ricky Cruz. After the bout, Cook got into an angry dispute with referee Jim Harris. When Harris turned to leave, Cook clubbed Harris from behind.

This brought promoter Herb Simmons into the dispute as he ordered Cook from the ring. Cook and Simmons then got into a violent argument, during which Simmons suspended Cook. When Cook continued to scream, Simmons – who is also the mayor of East Carondelet – called police to handcuff Cook and take him from the building.

No criminal charges were filed, but Cook was ordered to stay out of East Carondelet until at least October 1. While Cook is expected to appeal the suspension, it is unlikely anything could be scheduled until later this fall so in the end – Travis Cook is out of business in SICW until October 1.

As we head into the final 4 plus months of 2012, and barring the end of the world and if all goes as planned we hope to deliver to the fans the second annual MWR Yearbook.

What I am looking for is for MWR promoters and their staff to work together to send in their top stories in their promotions. I need not only the headlines but the article written for them. If I was there when it happen I did my best to try to get it done myself, though sometimes I get behind. I am not going to watch YouTube videos to shows I didn’t attend to write stories for this book.

Features we are looking for are the

1) Main title in your promotions title changes in monthly order.
2) Stories of special guest that wrestled or made appearance for your company.
3) Stories on your promotion supporting the community, fundraisers, etc.
4) Positive top stories of wrestlers that made an impact on the national scene.

Feel free to send in photos but PLEASE get permission from the photographer for them to be in the book to be sold, send me their name and contact address to confirm this.

I am also looking for reporters to donate their time to take part in exclusive features for next year’s yearbook that could be stories, interviews etc. of the wrestlers in our coverage area.

This is the honest truth; I can tell that the writing on the wall is that my time will be very limited this fall so if you want your company to represent properly then please assist me in making sure we honor all the hard work that you do by having it featured properly. . I can’t promise everything you want in the book will be included but I will do my best
So if you care enough about having your company featured please send me a list of all that you feel needs to be in the yearbook and I may already having stories and photos for that story already done.

Send your list of the above to me at FLAIRWHOOOOOO@YAHOO.COM and I try to get back with each of you promoter separately to do my best to give you the proper coverage you deserve.

Last but not least MWR promoters Dubray and I are both in school, and working a part time job. Due to time, homework and funds Dubray and I will be attending more shows closer to home than normal. It’s not that I don’t want to be at your shows as that is the part of the site I love the most, it’s all about trying to improve my life and better my chances to make more of an impact in pro wrestling. If any promoters feel as if they are being slighted because of that and don’t want to be involved with MWR I understand. For my friends that understand please feel free to still send in what you want to be on the site as I still have a deep passion to support you and pro wrestling on a whole.

Sincerely,

Brian Kelley
