I Pulled A Plane Again

The first year that Resistance Pro participated in the Special Olympics Plane Pull at O'Hare Airport, I was out of town.  In 2014, I jumped at the chance to be a part of it and a couple months ago, I was part of this special event again!

Pulling a plane is cool in itself.  That big bird is 90 tons, yet the 20 of us were able to get it rolling in about 9 seconds.  I'm not sure how that ranked or how it translates, but it felt really good.

It felt even better to see the looks on the Special Olympians' faces as they met Sean Mulligan, Paloma Starr and Scotty Steiner of RPro.  Barring the appearance of the WWE's John Cena, these three could not have made the special athletes any happier.  It was awesome being a part of this.

I thank RPro for including me and for Mulligan, Starr and Steiner allowing this old guy to join their effort.  It was totally a feel good day which brings back feel good memories every time I think of it.

On the Beat with Resistance Pro at "Girls Girls Girls"

Last moth's Resistance Pro's "Girls Girls Girls" was another winner.  The Samuel J. Thompson Memorial event had a few new twists from a regular R Pro show.

First and foremost was the 8 woman tournament to gain a contract to R Pro.  Last year's tournament's winner Brady Pierce is now a rising young star for R Pro.  We will see what the future hold for Palmoa Star, but for right now, it holds a new trophy and that contract.

The show also featured an appearance by several members of the Chicago Bliss.  The 2013 Legends Football League champions acted as lumberjills for the 3 way tournament final match.  They even got involved in the post match action.

I talked to the tournament winner, Paloma, as well as Lylah Lodge, Devyn Nicole, Ray Lyn and Camron Star.  I also talked to Scotty Young, another young superstar of R Pro and Head Photog Mike Vinikour.  Eric St. Vaughn gave us a few minutes of his time after a few months of missing him.

These interviews can be found below and on the JohngysBeat.com YouTube channel under the Resistance Pro playlist.  I hope you enjoy learning a little more about all of these talented people.  I also hope you come to "The Battle Rages On," the next event, this Friday at St. Francis De Sales High School.
