Cobra Is Your New Resistance Pro Champ

Resistance Pro has a new Heavyweight champ and his name is Cobra, the Muay Thai Warrior as managed by Mr. Justin King.  Congratulations to the new champ and to King.  Like them or not, they worked very hard to get here.

Cobra has had an interesting career in RPro.  He has worked his way up the ranks through hard work and with a little help from Mr. King.  As much grief as I give him, they are not the first wrestler-manager combo to use a bit of trickery to climb to the top.  They just did it better than anyone else at this point.

You can read my full report on Cobra winning the title, along with the rest of the night's action on Tru School Sports at On the Beat at Resistance Pro's "Rolling Thunder."  I also scored the first interview with the new champ and his mouth piece after the match.  That can be found at On the Beat with Cobra and Justin King at Resistance Pro's "Rolling Thunder."

While I congratulate Cobra on his great win, I also have to commend former champ Suge D on a great run with the belt.  Suge was a true champ in every sense.  He was a leader in the locker room.  He connected with the fans.  He put on fantastic matches.  On this particular night, he had already had two hard-fought matches and an injured leg, but still he put up a valiant effort, despite losing the title to Cobra.

Make no mistake, Cobra is a worthy champ.  He is an excellent in-ring worker.  I'd like to see him fight cleanly, but I do admit King is very entertaining, even when he is giving me grief (which is pretty much always).

Once again, congratulations to Cobra and King.  Good luck in your championship run.

Cobra, me and Justin King in Summit, IL-September 2015.

On the Beat at Resistance Pro's "Savage Amusement"

Resistance Pro's "Savage Amusement" was another great night filled with awesome wrestling.  R Pro continues to live up to the high standards they set.

JohngysBeat.com scored a few key interviews.  Special Cotrrespondent Jonathan McMahon talked to the newly-freed Suge D.  This was a lot of fun an featured a quick cameo by Mad Man Pondo and some very shiny pants on Suge D.

Another Special Correspondent made his triumphant return.  JayHawk Evans talked to Eric St. Vaughn of Body Magic.  Even after a long night of action, ESV still gave us his time to discuss the latest Body Magic news.

I thought I was interviewing Cobra, but Justin King, his new manager, interrupted and took over.  Apparently this is a new era for Cobra.

I also had a good interview going with the lovely and mysterious Miss Prig, until the overbearing Colonel Jesse Corgan saw us and put an immediate stop to it.  Still, we got a little insight from Miss Prig.

I did manage to get a full interview from Paloma Starr, the winner of the recent Sam Thompson Memorial Tournament.  Starr was getting a title shot later in the evening.
Last, Eric St. Vaughn took over the interview duties and talked to Chicago Bliss Assistant Coach John Witte.  The Bliss and R Pro are developing a solid relationship and mutual admiration society.
This is just a slice of the fun at the R Pro shows.  I am so excited about the next R Pro show, Friday, June 13.  "Deliverance" will certainly deliver.  I'll be there and you should, too!
