Becoming friends with Zach Thompson was one of the bright spots of my time with Resistance Pro Wrestling. Recently at Ego Pro Wrestling, I caught up with Zach for the first time in many years.
Zach's late brother Sam was my first contact at RPro. Sam had major health issues and died way too young, but he will always be remembered for his spirit.
Zach was one of RPro's broadcasters. He also performed those duties at other companies. When "The Ego" Robert Anthony started Ego Pro Wrestling, he hired Zach as a broadcaster.
Not limited to just broadcasting wrestling, Zach has performed on comedy stages around Chicago. He was also part of the Mystery Science Theater revival. Translation: Zach is multi-talented and very entertaining. Better than all of that, Zach is a great human.
At RPro, Zach incorporated Johngy's Beat into his broadcast, calling the "Johngy's Beatdown" of the night at some point when a big move happened. One of the highlights of my brief time broadcasting RPro was calling a match with Zach. I was green and just happy to be doing broadcasting, but doing it with the master was an awesome experience.
Seeing Zach at Ego Pro was so wonderful. I will be going back there often and I always look forward to seeing Zach and the others, like Ego and his family.
If you are in the Chicago area, Ego Pro is THE wrestling company to see. Look to social media for more info on Ego Pro.
