Many reports have used the phrase "unscripted reality series" to describe the AMC's forthcoming show about RESISTANCE Pro. How much wrestling will be featured on the AMC show?
Probably around 5%. RESISTANCE Pro's story is about the people - in the ring and backstage. Non-fans would never give us a shot if we were "just another wrestling show". Show them the real people, their sacrifices, the brotherhood—the ups and downs, highs and lows—situations they can identify with, and they are hooked. We've had tons of fans who come up to us after a show and tell us that it was the first time they had ever been to an independent show and now they're among our most ardent supporters. They see the love and genuine care we all have for one another, the sacrifices we all make to put on a show, and that makes it even more amazing and appealing to them. Show that to millions of people on TV and we're in a very unique position, don't you think? To be the first wrestling company ever to "get over" their talent and staff's "real lives" in lieu of their in-ring counterparts? The possibilities are endless to where that could lead.
For fans who want to see in-ring action, what's the best way to check out RESISTANCE Pro?
If fans want to see the in-ring action RESISTANCE Pro has to offer, come to a live show! We have a YouTube channel at RealRESISTANCEpro with all footage in glorious HD, DVDs available at RESISTANCEpro.com on our "Merchandise" page, and on DVD and streaming VOD through our partners at Highspots.com and RFvideo.com!
Staff, talent and longtime fans of RESISTANCE Pro have been very candid about their appreciation and affection for the company's former "street team leader" and timekeeper Sam Thompson who passed away in 2012. Do you still feel Sam's enthusiasm and spirit as Resistance Pro prepares to enter such an important and exciting chapter in its evolution?
We all love and miss Sammy and have never stopped thinking about him. We know that he's looking down on us, smiling, and helped us get where we are. His motto of "Never, Never, Never Give Up" is our credo and what we preach to each other and the kids we talk to through our POP program. Whenever any of us are in doubt, we look to his brother Zach (our play-by-play commentator and in-ring interviewer) and sister Katie to remind us of what Sammy would say. He's as much a part of R-Pro's success as Billy, Jacques, or myself. He was there when we started it and he'll be with us every step of the way, no doubt. We just want to make him proud. We love you and miss you, pal.
