As 2025 comes to a close, the My 1-2-3 Cents Podcast wraps up the year the only way we know how, by talking wrestling, reflecting on what worked (and what didn’t), and looking ahead to what’s next. In this final episode of the year, we look back at the most significant moments, surprises, hot takes, and conversations from 2025, both in the ring and on the podcast. From matches and storylines that stood out to themes that defined the year, we revisit what made 2025 memorable. Then it’s full speed ahead to 2026. We talk about expectations, predictions, what we’re excited to cover in the year ahead, and how the podcast may evolve moving forward. Thank you to everyone who listened, shared, commented, and supported My 1-2-3 Cents in 2025. We’ll see you in 2026, same passion, same love for wrestling, and plenty more cents to give.  Support the show & stay connected:  Leave a review and send a screenshot—your feedback helps us grow! Follow us on social:Facebook | Instagram | Twitter: @my123cents Join the My 1-2-3 Cents Facebook Group Subscribe to the My 1-2-3 Cents Blog Don’t forget to subscribe on YouTube! Powered by Jittery Monkey  Grab some gear & support the brand: Pro Wrestling Tees – My 1-2-3 Cents Store COLLARxELBOW – Use promo code MY123CENTS to save 10% Thigh Huggers – Shop with promo code MY123CENTS The post My 1-2-3 Cents Episode 580: So Long, 2025 appeared first on Jittery Monkey Podcasting Network » My 1-2-3 Cents.
