I am officially announcing the end of my second retirement, as of today, my 39^th Birthday, Jan 4, 2009.  I have been retired from Pro Wrestling since April 5, 2007 (for 1 year, 9 months), which was the 15^th anniversary of my 1^st match, April 5, 1992 in Levitown, Long Island, New York.  As I stated when I ended my 1^st retirement, Terry Funk has about a dozen or so retirements under his belt, and the average Wrestler retires 6.3 times, so I don't feel too bad about coming out of retirement AGAIN.  I probably have a few more retirements in me, so stay tuned…...

But seriously, the reason I am getting back in the ring is simple:  location, location, location.  One of the main reasons I retired in 2007 was that I got sick of all the travel and flying involved with being a Wrestler.  But just before Thanksgiving, I moved back to NYC, into Queens (insert joke here).  Now, by living in the Northeast, I am within driving distance of many more independent shows. 

So, I am now accepting bookings within 250 miles of NYC: as far South as Ocean City Maryland, which includes all of New Jersey, all of Delaware, Philadelphia, and Atlantic City, as far west as Harrisburg PA, as far Northwest as Binghamton and Utica New York, as far North as Albany New York, and as far Northeast as Boston Massachusetts which includes all of Connecticut and Rhode Island.  Please contact me or my manger/agent/advisor, Robert, at www.myspace.com/chriskanyon  if you want to book me and please mark your message "Booking for Chris."

My first post-retirement event will be an appearance this coming Saturday, January 10, 2009 at K & S's Wrestlefest  New Year's Greetings at the Carteret NJ Radisson Hotel – (30 Minue Street,  Carteret, NJ  07008).  Also appearing are: Big Van Vader, Abdulah The Butcher, Shannon Moore, referee Nick Patrick, The Patriot (Del Wilkes), "The Russian Bear" Ivan Koloff,  "The Russian Nightmare" Nikita Koloff,  Star of the major motion picture "The Wrester" and WCW & WWE Star-  Ernest "The Cat" Miller, Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart and many others.  For all the info, please go to: www.kandswrestlefest.com

I have also accepted a booking for a charity show near Scranton, Pennsylvania on Feb 28, 2009 at the Dunmore Community Center as a benefit for the Community Center.  Visit www.classicprowrestling.webs.com  or call 570-955-0923 or visit myspace. com/mrsaturdaynightwwc  for more information.  Also, I have been booked to wrestle on May 9, 2009 at the Worcester Armory, 701 Lincoln Street - Worcester, Massachusetts (visit www.newenglandpowerhouse.com  for more info).

   I will also be in Philadelphia on 1-18-09 for a taping of the local television talk show, "On the Couch with Butch," (www.ibwb.tv). After the taping we will be eating, hanging, partying and mingling at Valanni's in Philly (www.valanni.com) starting around 9 pm.

And finally, I would like to thank all those who wished me a happy birthday and also I want to thank everyone for their time and consideration.  And finally, Happy New Year.
