Kenny Casanova (born May 1971) is an American professional wrestler and professional wrestling manager with international success in semi retirement, an author, and also a DJ. Kenny Casanova is best known as a pro wrestler on the North East circuit, whose career has led him to be inducted in the class of 2010 New England Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame.[2]
Over his career he has wrestled, ring announced, acted as a color-commentator, and acted as a wrestling manager (persona/talent/character) for many international names. A few of the international names he has regularly managed and connected to are Luke Harper, Damien Sandow, King Kong Bundy, Nikolai Volkoff, Public Enemy's Rocco Rock, Tom Brandi,.[3] Others include Demolition, H. C. Loc, Rocco Rock, Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake, and Japanese wrestler Shockwave The Robot. Casanova has had extensive pro wrestling feuds with The Patriot, Primo Carnera III, Tito Santana, and Jake Roberts.
In the late 90s through 2010, Kenny Casanova managed Kamala under a mask as "Kim Chee" for different promotions in the north east. This eventually led to Kenny ghostwriting Kamala's autobiography Kamala Speaks. The book helped successfully fund a kickstarter to help offset medical costs after Kamala lost both legs to diabetes in 2011.
Kenny Casanova has written/co-written several books for Walking On Hot Waffles Publishing (WOHW Publishing) including Kamala Speaks with Kamala, Struttin' & Cuttin' with Brutus Beefcake, Vader Time with Big Van Vader, Sabu: Scars, Silence, & Superglue with Sabu (wrestler), and Mr. X - The Life Story of Dangerous Danny Davis with Dangerous Danny Davis. He has also written a time travel novel entitled TAG, and he played a role in the publication of Brute Power- The Autobiography of Buggsy McGraw with Bugsy McGraw and Ian Douglass.[4]
