The Josh Nason’s Punch-Out 2025 pro wrestling year in review series begins its descent with a stop in October and returning guest Mike Gilbert of The Mike & JD Show and Brace For Impact.

Mike and Josh go over a ton of stuff during this 31-day stretch including:

  • Months after Seth Rollins feigned an injury as part of a storyline, he actually got badly hurt at WWE Crown Jewel
  • AEW WrestleDream featured a heel turn and a match that got one ex-AEW employee talking on X afterward
  • TNA holding their biggest event of the year, capped by a title win that would be erased two months later
  • The best in Japan, Mexico, the indies, and more

If it happened in October, it’s all here.
