Halloween with Road Warrior Andres (aka Andres the Announcer)

Resistance Pro has been a lot of things to me over the years.  It's been a place to meet friends, watch great wrestling, be generally entertained and so much more.  It's also been a place to occasionally play dress up.
Because I am not a wrestler, you won't see me dressed up in wrestling gear (although Mean Gene Okerlund did wrestle one match).  At RPro though, you don't have to be a wrestler to get in on the act for their Halloween shows.
A couple years ago, I became Rowdy Johngy Piper and Andres the Announcer became Road Warrior Andres.  I don't believe those two legends ever teamed together and I know if they did, they looked nothing like Andres and me.  Still, that did not prevent us from joining the fun.
It was a rowdy time.  Ohhhhh what a rush!
Happy Halloween.
Andres and me in Willowbrook, IL-October 2013.

On the Beat at Resistance Pro's "Welcome to My Nightmare"

Resistance Pro's last event, Welcome to My Nightmare, was a fantastic evening of exciting pro wrestling, cool costumes by all, tricks, treats and Svengoolie!  Who could ask for more?
Every R Pro show is special, but the Halloween show is uniquely special.  (Is that redundant?)  In any case, the Halloween show is a lot of fun because most in attendance are in costumes and that includes the wrestlers, the fans and even the R Pro owners.  It is magically surreal.
As Rowdy Johngy Piper, I scored some interviews with a mix of the R Pro talent.  JohngysBeat.com got Vector A before and after his title match with Egotistico Fantastico (aka "The Ego" Robert Anthony).  We got Road Warrior Andres the announcer.  We got Lucy Mendez, Mad Man Pondo and Crazy Mary Dobson and newcomer Jordynne Grace.  We even got musician and R Pro fan Professor Kliq.  Oh, did I mention we got Billy Corgan, Creative Director?  All of those interviews can be viewed below.
It was another great show.  I know this seems like a repeat of last month's piece about the previous R Pro show, but that is only because R Pro continues to put on great shows and I continue to try to tell everyone.
Watch the interviews below and see some of the R Pro talent.  Head over to ResistancePro.com to learn more.  Come out to n R Pro show and see for yourself.  As a matter of fact, there is an R Pro show tomorrow at Amundsen High School in Chicago.
