Pinned Down Wrestling Says Farewell — A New Era Begins with K3 News
KANKAKEE, IL — After years of diving deep into suplexes, storylines, and the spectacle of pro wrestling, Pinned Down Wrestling is officially tagging out. The brand, once known for its passionate coverage of the wrestling world, is evolving — and stepping into a whole new arena.
Introducing K3 News.
Founded by local creative and media voice Ken Nelson, K3 News is a bold new venture focused on hyperlocal news coverage, community reactions, and the real voices of Kankakee County. The new media outlet will shine a light on what’s happening in our neighborhoods — from town hall developments to local heroes, breaking news to feel-good stories — all told from the perspective of the people who live it.
“Pinned Down Wrestling was a fun ride and a passion project, but the time came to pivot to something bigger — something that serves the entire community,” said Nelson. “K3 News is here to amplify the voices of real people, real stories, and real reactions.”
While K3 News marks the end of a specific wrestling chapter, Nelson hints that wrestling-related content may still make occasional appearances under a new format or sub-brand, possibly through interviews with local athletes or community storytelling.
What to Expect from K3 News:
- Video reactions to local news stories
- Spotlight features on residents, businesses, and changemakers
- Honest reporting with a people-first perspective
- A blend of serious journalism and engaging, accessible storytelling
Pinned Down fans and followers are invited to join the next chapter by following K3 News on social media and subscribing to its upcoming newsletter. The ring may be empty for now — but the conversation is just getting started.
