Resistance Pro
Featured Program
Resistance Pro (RP) is a Chicago-based professional wrestling organization led by creative director Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins. Corgan reached out to SLI and Chris Nowinski because, “Injuries are nothing to be ashamed about. They happen, but you have to support the talent and not just look the other way.” SLI is now working with RP to develop a customized plan to improve the safety of the performers and manage risk, while still producing an entertaining product by utilizing SLI educational programs and policies.
