The Or Else Podcast-Episode 6 Special Forces With Col. Jesse Corgan

The new episode of The "Or Else" podcast is up on Soundcloud and we are very excited to have our first guest on the show.  Colonel Jesse Corgan joined us to lend his uniwue insight into Resistance Pro.

I liked the concept of Jesse joining us for the episode for a lot of reasons.  Jesse is a great guy and a friend, but also as Billy's brother, I felt he had a similar experience as Tommy.  They both faced a bit of resentment at not "earning" their place.  I don't agree with that mindset, but I some people did feel that Tommy and Jesse did not "pay their dues" to land their spot on the card.

As has been previously discussed, Tommy earned a spot on an RPro show via an open audition.  One show turned into a six year run with RPro.  He earned his permanent place on the roster through hard work in and out of the ring.  He was one of the most popular wrestlers in RPro.

Jesse got his first spot in RPro because of Billy, but he, too, earned a more regular role.  Jesse worked hard to improve every aspect of his performance.  We had a lot of fun with him repeatedly declining my interview requests and he came up with some of the ideas for those bits.  I know he sought out advice in and out of RPro.

Neither Tommy nor Jesse would have kept a spot in RPro if they did not deserve it.  Both were true professionals.  Both were determined to improve.  Also, both got over with the fans.

Jesse had some interesting thoughts when he joined us for podcast.  In typical Jesse fashion, he worried that he would do okay on the episode, which was unnecessary, because we knew he would do great and he did!  He gave us everything we wanted and more.  Well done, Jesse!

On the Beat with Jesse Anderson at Resistance Pro Wrestling's Mane Attraction

Jesse Anderson has had a rough life, but with a lot of hard work and some help from others, including his brother Billy Corgan, Jesse is doing just fine.  In fact, Jesse is one of the players in a production called Resistance Pro Wrestling.  That's right, Jesse is part of the pro wrestling world and he could not be happier about it.
Jesse first appeared in R Pro many months ago.  As is the case often in wrestling, Jesse turned on his brother Billy.  Jesse's character and role has grown ever since.  Jesse even was involved in a match and actually got a pinfall.  Such is the wonderfully magical world of pro wrestling.
I have seen Jesse at every show, but I ever talked at length to him until R Pro's Mane Attraction last week. Not only that, but we landed a short interview with him.  Was this his first ever interview as part of the R Pro roster?  JohngysBeat.com will claim so.
Anyway, for whatever issues Jesse has in the ring, he was very nice to us during our interview and after.
This is just another reason why I am so supportive of R Pro.  They are all about giving people chances. I have seen R Pro give wrestlers and staffers opportunities to shine in various ways.  Heck, they even continue to give me opportunities to cover pro wrestling and interview pro wrestlers.  Somehow it all works for R Pro.  I have never seen such back-and-forth support.
When I see Jesse at R Pro, I see a success story, one of many at R Pro.  Currently, he is in a storyline with Miss Prig, which is not a bad place to be.  It will be interesting to see what happens next and I will be there to see it and report back here on it.
