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.

Word quickly got back to the CWC Champion Ron Powers, Though the names on the list have not been announced yet, Powers was ecstatic that Matysik was honoring the great men in the sport of wrestling with such a great book. In response, MWR received this letter from the champion.

To all my die hard fans,

It was an honor to be the subject in Larry Matysik’s first two books, “Wrestling at the Chase”, and “Brody”. I feel, as do all of you, these books would not have reached the level they did, had my name not been mentioned. Larry knows, and accepts this for a fact. And now, “The 50 Greatest Wrestlers of all-time “,will hit the shelves.

Soon to become a best seller, this book will name the top 50 wrestlers to have ever entered the squared circle. It will be a milestone in my career, to see my name in the top 50. Lord knows I deserve it! If this book has been written with any accuracy, I should be in the top 25. Let’s hope Mr. Matysik remembers what sells……………..ME.

Sincerely Yours,
Ron Powers

Please join us in less than two weeks when Missouri Wrestling Revival will return to East Carondelet for a special TV Tapping.
