Wrestling With Nostalgia: Why Pro Wrestling Still Matters (And My 40-Year Love Affair With the Ring)
This week on the No Filter Friday Show, John Knopick goes full throttle into one of his lifelong passions: professional wrestling. From his first live event as a four-year-old in 1984 to passing the love of the squared circle on to his own son, John shares what makes wrestling more than just “scripted entertainment”—it’s an escape, a tradition, and a source of unforgettable drama.
John breaks down the magic of wrestling’s storytelling, the real risks behind the spectacle, and the wild world of parasocial fandoms. He relives the rise and fall of the legendary NWO, the emotional highs of WrestleMania, and the evolution of the industry from the territory days to today’s WWE, AEW, and TNA. Plus, he calls on listeners to share their own “Mount Rushmore” of wrestling greats—male, female, and managers.
Whether you’re a lifelong fan or a total newbie, this episode is a love letter to the art, chaos, and community of pro wrestling. And if you want to join the No Filter Friday crew as a co-host, John’s got an open call for you!
Tune in for nostalgia, hot takes, and a whole lot of wrestling talk—unfiltered, unapologetic, and totally unedited.
