On the Beat With John Bullard of Chicagoland Championship Wrestling

Late last year, I started seeing social media posts about a new wrestling company starting in the Chicago area. Honestly, at first, I wasn't really interested, because there are so many other companies. The more info that was released, the more I did become interested.
While many wrestling companies start with great promise (or at least promises), many fold just as quickly. Chicagoland Championship Wrestling was promoted as an in-studio wrestling show, like a throwback to the first wrestling I (and many more) watched on television. It promised to be "Chicago" and to be different.
The man behind Chicago Championship Wrestling is John Bullard. He is a veteran of the wrestling scene, filling many roles over his career.
I contacted John fairly early on and asked about interviewing him for Johngy's Beat and HeroTV. John graciously agreed.
While the current pandemic has delayed in-person interviews, I really wanted to get back "On the Beat" and John agreed to be my first guest. I asked John for a few minute interview, but once we got talking, I realized it was running over and I didn't care. I was having fun learning about John and CCW. I'll let John tell you more about CCW in our interview below.
I appreciate John for giving me his time and for his patience. We had a couple glitches while recording, but John weathered the storm with me and I am quite happy with the first attempt at a socially distant interview. I definitely plan on checking back with John in the future, including attending his show and interviewing him properly in person.
