Today, I feature one of the unsung heroes of the Squared Circle Expo wrestling convention. Ed (aka Mr. Zubaz) is one of the four promoters who make this a great event.
I have actually known Ed's wife Hardcore Heather longer than I know Ed. I might have crossed paths with both at a horror convention we all attended years ago, but I got to know Heather during her stints in Resistance Pro Wrestling. I don't think Ed was ever there or at least I never met him there.
There is more to Ed than his ever-present Zubaz. I do applaud him for his determination in wearing them. Ed is a mostly-retired wrestler. More importantly, as I wrote, he is one of the promoters of SCX.
As a longtime wrestling fan, wrestler and convention attendee, Ed has the knowledge and connections to make SCX great. The Fantastic Four make a great combo, each with a different strength. I don't know for sure, but I am guessing Ed is one of the main (if not the main) booker for the wrestling matches ending Saturday. Those matches are always some of the best matches I have seen. Last year, in particular, had awesome matches. That card was capable of standing with any wrestling card anywhere.
During the event, Ed usually doesn't have much free time as SCX business keeps him hopping. He does however always make time for a quick chat and selfie. In short, Ed is a good dude and I appreciate his friendship and all he does.
