JNPO: Pro wrestling year in review finale – Worlds apart

JNPO: Pro wrestling year in review finale – Worlds apart

The time has arrived to wrap up the Josh Nason’s Punch-Out 12-part pro wrestling year in review series with a stop in December.

Joining me for the first time as my co-host: the one & only Ibou of WrestlePurists.

And even though December ended three weeks ago, a lot happened that is worth dissecting, especially with two companies who ended the year worlds apart in many ways.

We talk about the final AEW event of the year: Worlds End, arguably the least well-received AEW PPV in their short history. Samoa Joe dethroned MJF for the AEW World title, Andrade El Idolo competed in his final match, and Chris Jericho had quite the day on social media. We discuss all that without wearing a ridiculous hat and sunglasses.

We also discuss the first full month of new WWE employee CM Punk which included his first two matches there in a decade, an indirect line about “Brawl Out” that fell flat with the live crowd, and an impromptu appearance at NXT Deadline.

We recap Kenny Omega’s diverticulitis diagnosis, the first rumblings about Okada leaving NJPW, the final month of Impact Wrestling before transforming into TNA, Andrade’s return to CMLL, and so much more.

I promise this is unlike any other year-end series you’ll hear or read, so catch up on the full series in the archive and my MMA year in review series as well. Thank you for your support of this endeavor.
