Ho ho, and, might I add, ho. It's once again time for the PPP boys to bestow a festive gift upon you, our lovely listeners. We kick off this year's special by answering some of the most unhinged fan questions we've ever received (and that is saying something!) before Statto pits his wits against David's quiz about who the current NJPW champions are, which goes about as well as it usually does. Then we decide who the most 2025 wrestler of 2025 is, cast our eyes over what has been surely the greatest 12 months in the history of wrestling, especially WWE, and choose our dream lineups for Jools Holland's Hootenanny, the only piece of media recorded further in advance of its release date than this podcast. We finish in the time-honoured fashion by taking another trip to Terry Riley's workshop for some Chinese wrestling. Peace and goodwill to all, except Karrion Kross, and Merry Christmas!

The long-awaited sequel to our most self-indulgent and mystifyingly well-liked episode ever is finally here! Statto and Sarah talk about their recent trip to Japan, where they took in live shows by Prominence, DIANA, Gatoh Move and TJPW. Hear how Sarah was so eager to meet one of her heroes that she spent £35 on a towel, Statto accidentally told Chie Koishikawa that he and Sarah were husband and wife, what happened when two of their friends who had never been to live wrestling before were exposed to a Suzu Suzuki vs. Jun Kasai deathmatch. As a special bonus, David tells of his time at the Granddaddy of Them All (the Eurovision Song Contest).
(NOTE: This episode was recorded in May so there are some dated references. Shocking, I know.)
