On a Father’s Day edition of Wrestling Observer Live, Josh Nason talks about the unique connection between fathers, sons and daughters when it comes to pro wrestling.
Josh kicks things off with memories of his own dad reluctantly taking him to WWF events including the first time Hulk Hogan appeared in Portland, Maine, in the Hulkamania era. He then turns it over the listeners who responded on social media and to the inbox with their own memories of their dads and wrestling.
Josh then looks at the unavoidable intersection of wrestling and today’s politics with CM Punk spotted at a No Kings protest in Chicago Sunday on the same week Triple H and Stephanie McMahon meeting with Robert F. Kennedy and several wrestlers appearing at a Donald Trump/U.S. Army event this past week.
Josh also hits some of the news of the weekend and the week ahead.
