Friendly Encounters: Scotty Young Meets the Chicago Bliss

This is a weekly series about friends who have met celebrities.

Scotty Young is one of the rising young stars at Resistance Pro Wrestling.  His long-running feud with Jake O'Neill  brought them both into the spotlight.  They both stepped up and really showed the fans and R Pro management what they could do in the ring.  Both men have bright futures in the wrestling business.
Scotty is a bright guy, too.  While most of the Friendly Encounters have one or two friends meeting a celebrity (or two), Scotty upped the ante by posing with five membrs of the Chicago Bliss.  That's about a third of the team.  Way to go, Scotty!
Actually these ladies are all rookies for the Bliss.  Much like Scotty, they are young stars of the future.  They even spent a few minutes in the R Pro ring, helping D'Arcy Dixon fend off Mickie Knuckles and some others.
The next Bliss game is Friday, June 13.  Unfortunately, the next R Pro event is the same night.  They are both winners.  Go to one of them.  You will not be disappointed.  Just ask Scotty!

Jori, Katy Massey, Scotty Young, Aubrie Nelson, Bridget McDonnell and Jess Price in Willowbrook, IL-February 2014.

On the Beat at Resistance Pro's "Don't Tread"

Last month's Resistance Pro's "Don't Tread" was another excellent show.  If you think I am just repeating myself, I challenge you to come to one of their shows and find out for yourself.  You will be saying the same thing, too.

It was another solid night for JohngysBeat.com, too, as we got several interesting interviews.  "Mr. M80" Marshe Rockett was getting shot at Jocephus Brody's title.  We talked to Marshe before his match and got his thoughts, along with the first look at his new shirt available for purchase.

After a year long absence (because of a "Loser leaves R Pro for a year" match with "The Ego" Robert Anthony), Mr. 450 returned and was looking for revenge.  We talked to him about what he had been doing and what his future holds.

Warden Myers is right in the middle of the action as always.  Two of his inmates were fighting for freedom, but one chose not to fight.  The Warden is never without a backup plan though.  He had two new men under his thumb, although he wouldn't reveal them during the interview.  (Johngy's Beat does give the reveal in it though.)

Chris Hall revealed his new shirt, but did not reveal his latest career path.  (Check back to the Warden's interview for a little clue.)

Just when I thought I was going to get that interview with Colonel Jesse Corgan, Timekeeper Mike Bellcaster stepped in and ousted me.  I have no idea where this is going, but I do not like it one bit.

Superfan and wrestling columnist Jonathan McMahon made his interview debut on both ends of the questions.  First, I interviewed him about his path to Resistance.  Then he took over the interview duties and got the latest scoop from Scotty Young.  Welcome to the JohngysBeat.com Universe, JMc and thank you.

That's a lot of action for a three hour show and that is just from my end.  The actual R Pro wrestling was even more entertaining.  Plus, I did not even mention the women of the Chicago Bliss who were there again.  Next show, I will have to get their opinions.

Speaking of the next show, it is this Friday, May 16.  "Savage Amusement" promises to be what the title proclaims.  Two days away and I can't wait..

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.
