What happened to him? He disappeared after wccw in 1988 some liked his booking others didn’t but I’ve never heard him do any shoots or anything. Was he ever mentioned for booking jobs or anything?

I want to say that someone had him booked for a convention not long ago but I could be wrong about that.
I don't think there was anywhere left for him to go after Texas. He was in with part of that crew (Michael Hayes, for example) and out with others ( like Gary Hart) and didn't seem to have connections outside of it.

It says on wiki Johnny Mantell is his brother? He was the guy I met when I went to the pro wrestling hall of fame in witicha falls, Texas. Doesn't seem like it was open right now.

I remember Terry Gordy getting in Mantell’s face, saying “Yew know somethin’ Ken Mantell, I’m fixing to where I don’t like yew a little bit!”
Then Mantell ordered him away from the ringside area.

Mantell's name comes up quite a bit in the latest My World podcast with Jeff Jarrett.
I'm only about halfway through the episode but it's possibly the most I've ever heard Mantell spoken about by anyone besides Cornette. Cornette has said that Mantell booked overly simplistic finishes because that's what the Von Erich's could remember since they were always so inebriated.
