The Unofficial Maritime Wrestling Podcast wraps up 2025 with our first annual “Year That Was” episode.
In Episode 44, we look back at a historic year for Maritime wrestling, featuring 143 shows across 20 promotions throughout the region.
We recap the biggest returns and debuts, including Shane-O, Dale Dangles, Zatara, Matt Kerr, Draice Durning, Alex Robins, Evan Gibbons, and more. We break down the year’s most talked-about storylines and feuds, highlighted by Ethan Knight vs Rudy Lockhart, Ace Dynasty vs Crude Oil, Chip Chambers vs Kris Charters, and Perfect Storm vs The Hateful Dead.
The episode also covers some of the biggest moments of 2025, including Chris Cooke’s retirement, CCW drawing over 1,500 fans at Clash 36, key injuries that shaped the year and more.
We spotlight standout performances and breakout years, North Pro's major talent partnership with PWO, Maritime wrestlers making waves outside the Maritime region, and a full year-end championship recap, including multiple-title holders like Rudy Lockhart, Chip Chambers, Joey White, Giant Orion, and more.
To close it out, we reveal our Personal Favorites of the Year, including Male and Female Wrestler of the Year, Tag Team of the Year, and Match of the Year.
This journey couldn’t happen without the support of the talent, promotions, and fans who’ve welcomed us and allowed us to play a very small part in the Maritime wrestling scene. We truly couldn’t do what we do without the support, collaborations, and friendships we’ve made along the way this past year.
We can’t wait to see what 2026 has in store for Maritime wrestling, but rest assured, we’ll be here to talk about it. Thanks again, and Happy New Year!
