Tommy Dreamer at Blizzard Brawl 2015

Tommy Dreamer made a name for himself as the "Innovator of Violence" during his great run in ECW.  He has wrestled elsewhere, but he will always be remembered most as an ECW Original. Dreamer appeared at the recent Blizzard Brawl 11.  David Herro's yearly event has been a staple on my calendar for years.  The Brawl is always a great event, filled with many wrestling superstars, like Dreamer. This year's Brawl ended oddly.  Herro lost a match to Abyss and thereby lost control of Great Lakes Championship Wrestling and Blizzard Brawl.  Dreamer entered the ring to save Herro from a further beating from Abyss and also to make an offer. Dreamer wants to bring his House of Hardcore event to Waukesha next December.  Herro accepted.  How this will all play oput is anyone's guess.  That's why everyone needs to keep following Herro and GLCW. The one thing I know is, if there is any sort of GLCW, Blizzard Brawl or House of Hardcore event, I will be there covering it and enjoying it.

On the Beat at Resistance Pro's "Vulgar Display of Power"

Resistance Pro Wrestling kicked off 2014 with "Vulgar Display of Power" at 115 Bourbon Street in Merrionette Park, IL.  At the risk of being redundant, it was another great night at R Pro.  "Vulgar Display of Power" featured the usual core of entertaining R Pro wrestlers, plus wrestling legends Raven, Tommy Dreamer and Tracy Smothers, with the lovely Jessie Belle.
We got a bunch of interviews with the talent on hand, including Dreamer, who wasn't too pleased with the events of the evening (he got double-crossed by longtime rival Raven).  We also got Jessie Belle, who was making her return to R Pro after over a year.  After his debut match, Michael Bradley spoke to us.  We also revisited heavyweight champ Jocephus Brody, Thunderkitty, Chris Hall and Team I.O.U.  We finally got Remi Wilkins for the first time.  Those interviews are below.
Debuting wrestler Diablo Jones spoke to us briefly and Colonel Jesse Corgan blew us off.  Video footage of those moments can be found on the R Pro Girls Girls Girls! Facebook events page.
"Girls Girls Girls!" is the next show for Resistance Pro and it takes place this Saturday, February 22.  It features the Samuel J. Thompson Memorial Tournament, an eight women tourney for an R Pro contract.  I will be there and I am bringing several members of the Chicago Bliss, 2013 Legends League champions!  Will the Bliss get involved in any of the action?  You have to come to the show to find out.  This one promises to be another winner for R Pro.
