As you celebrate your Christmas
May the Spirit of Him whose birth we remember
Fill your heart with Joy, your life with laughter,
And your soul with the assurance of Eternal Life.

May the New Year bring you peace,
Health, happiness and prosperity, and
Find the love of our Savior reflected in your
Life, throughout the year.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year



The above greeting was sent to me from my friend Chuck. It was so beautifully written that it captured exactly how I feel so I am sharing this beautiful Christmas greeting with all of you, my friends and fans.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone. May everyone's New Year be filled with Peace, Joy, Love, and Happiness.

God Bless,

"And the angel said unto them, "Fear not! For, behold, I bring you tidings of great joy, Which shall be to all people. "For unto you is born this day in the city of David A Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you: Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, Lying in a manger."
--St. Luke ii. 10-12

"There is no ideal Christmas; only the one Christmas you decide to make as a reflection of your values, desires, affections, traditions."
--Bill McKibben Author, Hundred Dollar Holiday: The Case For a More Joyful Christmas

"What is Christmas? It is tenderness for the past, courage for the present, hope for the future. It is a fervent wish that every cup may overflow with blessings rich and eternal, and that every path may lead to peace."

Hello To Everyone at the Glens Falls YMCA - Safe Places After School Program,

"William L. Stidger, in the magazine, Your Life, tells a story about the conductor, Walter D. Famrosch, who once stopped his orchestra when everything was apparently going along smoothly, and asked: "Where is the seventh flute? Where is the seventh flute?" As Mr. Stidger points out, the conductor didn´t ask for the first flute, or the second—but the seventh. Even the seventh flute had an important place in creating the harmony the leader desired. "We may feel inferior, untalented, not even beautiful, and some of us uneducated," Mr. Stidger comments, "but each of us has a part to play and should play it well."

Happy New Year,

Thank you to everyone for all of your wonderful e-mail and Christmas cards. I read each and everyone one of them with a big smile. The one thing that always amazes me about my wrestling career is how thoughtful all of my fans are. I dedicate a portion of all my success to all of you. It is your very support that makes this all worth while. Thank you.

WOW, has anyone been following the latest happenings in the WWE fiasco that they call sports entertainment, of which they try to pass off to the public in the professional wrestling format? I normally do not watch it. Although, as I was flipping through the channels the WWE programming caught my eye. I should know better by now. Every time I take the time to watch a full WWE show, I always walk away disgusted and asking myself the same thing, "What are they thinking".? They market this stuff toward a youthful audience. What don´t they get? What don´t they see? Their programming is filled full of such negative antics that promotes and influences racism, homosexuality, family violence, sexual harassment, and the list continues. They make fun of Christianity, family values, former Olympic champions, and anything else you can think of. They are a publicly held company, so I ask, where are the share holders when these shows are being produced and aired? Where is the WWE"s social responsibility? I just do not get it. They have the talent to produce a much better product. Thank goodness they don´t call what they produce wrestling anymore. In my opinion, it may involve sports, however, I can not bring myself to call it entertainment.

I have new events scheduled so please be sure to check out my updated schedule and see if I am coming to a town or city near you. I am looking forward to a great year and as always, I look forward to meeting all of you.

Remember to....... Set the example by being the example..... Lead by example!

Happy New Year!

Kevin

Merry Christmas Everyone,

Is everyone ready for the holidays? I am just about ready, only a few small things left to do. Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year. I love the crisp clean air, the glistening snow, and the joyous atmosphere that Christmas is all about. Let us not forget about the greatest gift of all, Jesus.

I would like to thank all of my friends at the Queensbury Methodist Church School Age Care Program for the wonderful fruit basket, and pictures they gave me. What a nice surprise! Thank you for thinking of me... I will be sure to get those pictures up on the website soon.

May everyone have a Peaceful and Joyous holiday filled with Love, Prosperity and Good Health.

Merry Christmas and Happy New year!

With Love,

Kevin

Hello Everyone,

I had a great time visiting all of my friends and fans at Queensbury Methodist Church School Age Care on Friday. I would like to thanks Mrs. Miller and all of the staff for inviting me. You all are wonderful hosts. Your program has always been a favorite stop of mine on my public speaking tours. Thank you to all of my helpers who volunteered to help with my demonstrations. Everyone did a super job! I was amazed at all the great questions that everyone asked. You are a "Super" group and I look forward to visiting you all again soon. Don´t forget to check out the pictures I took of my visit, and be sure to sign my guest book and say hello!

Hello Everyone,

I would like to extend my sincerest sympathy to the Family and Friends of Mike Hegstrand who wrestled under that name 'Road Warrior Hawk´ and was one half of pro wrestling's dominant tag team, The Road Warriors. Mike passed away in October at the age of 46.

When I was still in my training, I remember watching the Road Warriors start their meteoric climb in wrestling to become on of most popular tag teams in the history of wrestling. RIP Hawk.

I would also like to extend my sincerest sympathy to the Family and Friends of Stu Hart. Stu Hart, perhaps Canada's biggest wrestling icon, passed away from complications of diabetes and pneumonia at the age of 88.

Hart's life in wrestling was legendary, starting as an amateur champion, promoting wrestling for more than 40 years in Western Canada. His son, Brett Hart, is a person whom I have always respected and admired for his values and true respect for "real" professional wrestling.

Here is some interesting news regarding the WWE! Surprise, Surprise, WWE pay-per-view buy rates are in a tailspin. I think my previous comments regarding the WWE´s programming says it all and is reflected in their ratings tailspin!

Wednesday, November 5, 2003 (Reprinted from Slam Sports)

· The WWE has released information about their latest pay-per-view buy-rates and as expected, the new is all bad. Numbers are on a steady decline and the drop-off has increased since the brand split came into the forefront. 'Vengeance', the first Smackdown!-only pay-per-view, brought in only 300,000 buys. 'Bad Blood', the first Raw-only pay-per-view, scored just 260,000 buys.

Here are some other numbers which spotlight how overall interest in the WWE's product is in a ceaseless tailspin.

'Royal Rumble' 2003 - 510,000 buys
'Royal Rumble' 2002 - 500,000 buys

'No Way Out' 2003 - 450,000 buys
'No Way Out' 2002 - 530,000 buys

'WrestleMania' 2003 - 550,000 buys.
'WrestleMania' 2002 - 850,000 buys.

'BackLash' 2003 - 375,000 buys.
'BackLash' 2002 - 350,000 buys.

'Judgment Day' 2003 - 240,000 buys.
'Judgment Day' 2002 - 375,000 buys.
'Judgment Day' 2001 - 410,000 buys.

'SummerSlam' 2003 - 375,000 buys.
'SummerSlam' 2002 - 500,000 buys.
'SummerSlam' 2001 - 550,000 buys.

'Unforgiven' 2003 - 260,000 buys.
'Unforgiven' 2002 - 290,000 buys.
'Unforgiven' 2001 - 375,000 buys.

'No Mercy' 2003 - 200,000 buys.
'No Mercy' 2002 - 300,000 buys.
'No Mercy' 2001 - 325,000 buys.

I will be visiting all my friends at The Queensbury Methodist Church on Friday November 7th. I am looking very forward to seeing all of my friends and fans. It is always my pleasure to be invited back each year to chat with, and visit with, the children and staff at the "before school and after school" program. Mrs. Miller and her staff run a terrific program. See you all Friday!

Remember to....... Set the example by being the example..... Lead by example!

See you soon!

Wow... The WWE never ceases to amaze me. Just when I think that they can't stoop any lower for ratings, they do exactly that. The latest if you haven't seen it, (And I do not usually watch it, I was flipping channels when I saw Vince McMahon body slam his daughter), the latest is an angle in which Vince McMahon is going to fight his daughter at the next pay preview for control in their company. Do they know and understand how bad this is? The bad example it sets for families, especially children. The angles goes on to show clips of Stephanie being interviewed and stating she does not like her father. Who came up
with this angle? They ought to be ashamed of themselves. With all the dysfunctional broken homes in the world today, millionaires should not be televising family violence as entertainment. The sad part is that the executives at the WWE really think this is funny and entertaining. The one thing I can say is that I am very glad that the WWE does not recognize themselves as a wrestling organization. However, they proudly call themselves an entertainment company. Entertainment? Hmmmmm..... are they really watching their own product? It makes one wonder doesn't it!

See you all again soon......

Remember to....... Set the example by being the example..... Lead by example!

Kevin
