On the Beat at Resistance Pro's "The Mob Rules"

Every Resistance Pro Wrestling show is a fun event, but "The Mob Rules" was a special night and not because of the wrestling.  This night belonged to Emily Anne Lundvall.
Emily is a friend of RPro and a Special Olympian.  She recently won gold and silver medals and the folks at RPro decided to honor her with a special award presentation.  The applause for Emily rivaled that of any wrestler and brought chills to everyone there.  It truly was a wonderful night.

I was proud to get interviews with Kathy Lundvall, Emily's mother, and Aaron Hirthe, Emily's coach.  Each spoke of what this all means to them and Emily.

I got my first interview with "Simply Sexy" Shawn Blaze, a relative newcomer to RPro.  Hopefully this is the first of many as he climbs the RPro ladder.

Marshe Rockett has been climbing the RPro ladder for a while and he is poised near the top.  Special Correspondent Jonathan McMahon interviewed Mr. M80.

I also finally got an interview with "The Inspiration" Brady Pierce.  The strong, quiet member of Body Magic seems to have a bright future at RPro and we discussed plenty of topics.

RPro's very own Eric St. Vaughn took over the interview duties and landed Chicago Bliss coaches John Witte and Ryan Andrews, along with Bliss star Dana Lorraine.  The RPro-Bliss connection has been a fun one for all.  We are looking forward to celebrating their next LFL title at a future RPro show.

Lastly, I got a special interview with Justin King of King Cobra.  Justin gave me a rare calm look at his career to this point.  All was going well, until his brother Head Referee Robert King appeared.  Then things got real interesting.
I hope you enjoy these videos.  I hope you come to "The Real Thing" this Sunday.  You will not be disappointed!

On the Beat with Robert King at Resistance Pro's "Stick It To Ya"

Yesterday we featured an interview with Mike Bellcaster, the Official Timekeeper at Resistance Pro.  We continue the theme today by featuring another non-wrestler, Robert King, Head Official.  King is our first interview with a wrestling referee.
Seemingly like everyone involved at R Pro, King has an interesting story.  His brother Justin is a ref at WWE, thus making them referee brothers.  That is quite an accomplishment.  Even more impressive, King is basically self-taught (although he recommends schooling for wanna-be future refs).  You can learn about King's career from the interview, but clearly this is one determined and talented man.
The ref is an often-overlooked but vital part of any match.  The ref must keep the rules and order, yet still allow the match to maintain a natural flow.  Let's face it, some wrestlers do bend the rules a bit.  Like any good ref, King knows how to maintain the integrity of the match without killing all of the fun.
King is also a personality without trying to be a personality.  The fans often cheer for him as he makes his entrance.
We hope you enjoy our first talk with King and we look forward to revisiting him down the line.  Until then, check out ResistancePro.com.  Also, to learn more about King and get his updates, check out the Referee Robert King page on Facebook.
