CWF Moves To New Hands!!!
Well, after 16 years of being involved in Professional Wrestling, 11 years of doing it full time making a living and operating a successful pro wrestling business, I have decided to officially call it quits. After the last tour that I started seeking a job and making plans to pass on the tradition of the CWF to someone I could trust NOT to come into the communities I have established as CWF venues with drug and alcohol abusers, which plaques the independent wrestling scene that I have become familar with.
The main reason was due to my wife finally getting her visa and moving to Canada. I waited long enough for her to come live with me so being on the road and apart was not part of my future. You add the local Winnipeg wrestlers who contacted my former wife to tell her lies about me in the attempt to run me out of the wrestling business, thus causing my divorce and the pending hardships on my children, staying in the wrestling business as one of the most successful promoters in Canada, was just not worth it to me any longer.
I also felt the need to protect the long term friends I made in the Aboriginal communities from the lies and deceit of other wrestling promoters who only care about how much money they can take out of the community or if they can score a local woman then brag online and to their friends about their conquest. I enforced strict rules on the wrestlers I brought into the community that I visited. The only time I had problems was when I used Winnipeg based wrestlers which I stopped doing.
As a result of my retirement from pro wrestling, I have passed the torch of the CWF on to Frank Ryckman, who owns a successful wrestling promotion and wrestling school in St. Catherines Ontario and has trained the likes of Robby Reckless, TJ Thunder and Jessie Beiber who have all been accepted as youth role models in the communties they visited.
I plan on sitting down in the future to write regular blogs, plus a writing a book on my wrestling experience which also includes those that were accused of interfering in my personal life and counter some of the false claims people have wrote about me online and in their fictious books.
Even though I will never be recognized by the Canadian Wrestling Hall of Fame for my achievements due to bias and blackballing by those who have the power to put people in it or not, I have many more accomplishments then others will ever have who are in the Hall of Fame now. That is good enough for me!! Not or never being accepted by the "wrestling fraternity" is not important as being accepted by the aboriginal communties I have visited right across Canada.
I have always said that when I leave it will be on my terms and I am satisfied I will do just that, plus leave the CWF in good hands. Miigwetch.

As a single member of an aboriginal community, I thoroughly the shows you guys place up. Last night, the CWF crew were very professional with their entertainment and made sure the crowd was emotionally involved. Especially the with children. I am glad to know that you would keep your shows strictly professional. Although you are not involved with CWF any longer, I am looking forward to seeing the show tonight. I wish well in life. Keh'che miigwetch.

seems like when an aborignal is honest and successful others try to destroy them or bring them down. sorry to hear you have stopped providing meaningful workshops and entertaining shows like the one you brought out here to my community in bc. best wishes for you and your new wife in whatever new journey you decide to take.
