On a new Josh Nason’s Punch-Out, the best pro wrestling year in review podcast series from here to there continues with a stop in May 2025.

Returning for this second go-round is Mr. Warren Hayes of Voices of Wrestling and his own YouTube channel for an extended play edition of the show.

Josh and Warren talk about AEW Double or Nothing, a show that saw two Owen Hart tournament winners, a big round of WWE cuts and events like Backlash and Saturday Night’s Main Event, all the happenings in NXTNAAA, Japan and the rest of the wrestling world.

Of course, they talk about the passing of Sabu at just 60 years old.

Over 300 headlines are scoured and discussed, so get out of that turkey coma and join them on the fifth entry into the year in review series.
