Friend Encounters is a weekly series featuring my friends meeting celebrities.
I first met Matt Knicks about 14 years ago at Resistance Pro Wrestling. With Chris Castro, Matt was part of a team known as The Two Star Heroes. They often opened the shows or even were part of the pre-show. They deserved better than all of that.
Matt and Chris were a very talented team. The fans loved them. They really were Four Star Heroes. Both left RPro and became the foundation of Freelance Wrestling. Not only did Freelance quicky surpass RPro, it is still thriving today.
Back then, Matt and others were at Wizard World to promote RPro, My young cousin Noah was there as a Johngy's Beat intern. Much like when my nephew Matt did the interviews, I enjoyed seeing Noah do the job. Like Matt, he sis it well and it was good to have a new voice and perspective. Matt was very nice to Noah and I totally appreciated his consideration.
Matt took some time off of wrestling, but he returned and hasn't lost a step nor popularity. I am happy to have seen him earlier this year. My pal Tony, who hadn't seen Matt wrestle, was also impressed with his ability and kindness.
Noah is all grown now, but he will always be a part of the Johngy's Beat team (wheteher he likes it or not LOL). Since he moved back to the area, I hope to see him soon.
