Ryan Kross and Jeff Luxon in Waukesha, WI-December 2021

At Blizzard Brawl 2021, I reconnected with Ryan Kross and Jeff Luxon, two veteran wrestlers. Because the pair wrestles in northern Illinois and Wisconsin, I don't see them too often. 

Of course, that is one of the great things about Blizzard Brawl. Saturday, January 22, I should see the pair again at Great Lakes Championship Wrestling's Golden Days, featuring Terri Runnels. Not only do GLCW events have great wrestlers on the card, many wrestlers can be found in the audience. 

Kross and Luxon are scheduled to wrestle at Golden Days, just as they wrestled at Blizzard Brawl. They are a formidable tag team, capable of winning titles whenever they wrestle.

With all due respect to Kross, Luxon and the other fine wrestlers at GLCW, Golden Days is about Terri for me. I have met Terri several times and it is always a lot of fun. I am really looking forward to seeing her again and I thank GLCW for bringing her.

Of course, I am also expecting a great night of wrestling action. Backwoods Brown battles Luscious Lawrence for the GLCW Heavyweight Championship. Mr. Pec-tacular Jessie Godderz defends his OVW Heavyweight title against Joey Avalon. The GLCW Tag Titles are on the line when The Express battles The Fanny Pack Party. Drew Hernandez faces TW3. Also, my bud Kross battles Tony Gunn. Other matches may be added, but even though Luxon isn't scheduled to wrestle, I am quite sure he will be there.

Go to GLCWWrestling.com for all of the info on Golden Days and other events. I will be "On the Beat" there and will report back here and for GlobalWomensSportsRadio.com and WrestlingFigs.com.

Ryan Kross, Jeff Luxon and me in Waukesha, WI-December 2021.

On the Beat at Premier Pro Wrestling

A few days ago, we featured an interview with Randy Ricci, the man behind Premier Pro Wrestling, the newest indy federation in the Chicago area.  My Wrestle Beat co-host Scott Beatty and I attended their second show and walked away very impressed.  We also walked away with some interesting interviews with members of the PPW roster.

I had the pleasure of talking to Barry Ryte for our first PPW interview.  Ryte talked about wrestling after his battle with cancer, his match with Ryback on WWE television and much more.  Learn more about Ryte on the Barry Ryte Facebook page.

Scott took the interview lead and landed Pauly Thomaselli.  The pair talked about Pauly's travels, his start in the business and much more.  Check out the Pauly Thomaselli Facebook page for more on Pauly.

Johngy grabbed Justified for an interview.  Justified talked about his childhood favorites, his wrestling goals and more.  Learn more about him on the Justified Facebook page.

Somehow I knew Scott would snare Derek St. Holmes and he did.  Holmes talked about his wrestling travels, his wrestling style and much more.  Be sure to follow him on his twitter at @StHolmesEsq to learn more about him and get updates.

Scott also got Jeff Luxon (one half of the Midnight Express Reboot).  Luxon talked about his wrestling training, his first match and a lot more.  For more info and updates on Jeff, go to the Jeff Luxon Facebook page.

We had a lot of fun talking to these talented wrestlers and learning more about them.  We plan on checking out more of Premier Pro Wrestling and highly encourage you to do so as well.  Until next time, please go to PremierProWrestling.com and the Premier Pro Wrestling Facebook page to learn all about this exciting new company and to get all of the updates.  Their next show is this Saturday, October 13 in Mundelein, IL.
