Longmont, Colorado

One city. Two factions. No quiet ending.

LoCo Pro Wrestling presents its history the way Longmont tells it: as lived fact. The Rising claim this town was built by people who earned every inch of it. The Pillars insist control, contracts, and old money still decide whose version survives. Every show at the Opera House becomes another chapter in that fight.

The Core Story

What LoCo Pro says happened

This is the public-facing version of the feud: The Rising believe Longmont belongs to the people who built it. The Pillars treat the town like inherited property. The Opera House is where those arguments stop being speeches and start becoming results.

Faction one

The Rising

The city's defiant side. Workers, noise-makers, lifers, and outsiders who treat every event like proof that Longmont cannot be signed away.

Faction two

The Pillars

Contracts, tradition, pressure, and quiet rooms. The Pillars prefer paperwork to memory and control to applause, especially when the crowd sides against them.

Ground zero

Dickens Opera House

The building where the first LoCo Pro bell rang, where the 2017 dispute was frozen, and where Longmont forced the issue back into the open in 2025 and 2026.

Timeline

The story so far

LoCo Pro frames its rivalry like local history, not fantasy. The dates below trace the version of events the promotion insists is true, from the first land fight in 1871 to the vendetta that followed the Opera House return.

July 3, 1871

The Rising head west

Families leave Chicago in search of land, dignity, and a future they can claim with their own hands. In LoCo Pro history, this is where the city's fighting spirit begins.

August 9, 1871

The Pillars arrive with paper and power

Wealth and influence reach Longmont after the settlers do. Forged deeds, political favors, and official records become the Pillars' preferred weapons, establishing the pattern that keeps showing up generations later.

August 30, 2017

Battle for Main Street

LoCo Pro Wrestling launches at Dickens Opera House. Witnesses say Cormac Battle defeated JT Staten clean, giving The Rising a win the city would talk about for years even after the official record tried to go silent.

August 31, 2017

The freeze

An exclusive booking arrangement locks wrestling away from the Opera House almost immediately after the first event. The win is treated as if it never had permission to grow, which only makes the buried result more important to the people who remember it.

November 16, 2025

Battle at the Opera House

After eight years of pressure, LoCo Pro forces its way back under the same lights. The Rising stand tall again, Zeak Gallent survives the tournament, and Longmont hears the old argument return at full volume.

March 7, 2026

Vendetta at the Opera House

What started as a comeback becomes a reckoning. The 2017 wound is no longer rumor, the Pillars can no longer pretend the city forgot, and the feud moves from rivalry to outright vendetta.
