Chicagoland Championship Wrestling Returns 10/9!
I interviewed John Bullard of CCW, which returns to Michigan City on 10/9 with "The Return," a fantastic supershow!
It's been a while, but I was back “On the Beat” talking wrestling with John Bullard of Chicagoland Championship Wrestling. Enduring a hiatus due to world events, CCW is back and looking stronger than ever.
After a great debut in October 2020, CCW followed with another fantastic event in June 2021. It's been a bumpy ride through the pandemic for everyone, but CCW weathered the storm. In the absence of live shows, Bullard kept busy by building CCW on other levels.
On October 9, CCW is back with The Return, called a Two Year Anniversary Super Show. The match lineup lives up to that billing.

We started the interview by discussing all of this. Putting together a show like this is not an easy task. Coordinating schedules of international and local stars is a daunting task, but Bullard got it done.
From there, we discussed the Indiana and Chicago area independent wrestling scene, working with other promotions, the future of CCW and more. Bullard discussed several partnerships, including the latest with Liquid Death Mountain Water. Other collaborations are evident with the multiple companies represented on the wrestling card.
Before finishing our chat, I asked Bullard about his musical endeavors. A skilled musician, he has a lot of fantastic videos on YouTube.
Back in action, CCW has a bright future. Bullard promised to return for an update interview as things develop.
I appreciate Bullard's time and consideration. Check back here for coverage a recap of CCW's The Return, as well as other wrestling coverage.
