Hey now and happy new year. We are getting over and I am the Silver King, Adam Silverstein,

0:18.7

here to lead you through these hard times.

0:23.3

With getting over's 2025 year in review, an absolute ton went down over the last 12 months,

0:32.3

and we are going to take you all the way from January 1st to December 31st, breaking down as much as we can recall

0:40.2

from the last year in professional wrestling. This show, in the past, it has gone on for more

0:45.6

than three hours. We are going to do our absolute best to present this in as much of a truncated

0:50.8

format as we possibly can because we have additional performance enhancing

0:55.7

audio coming your way over the next couple of weeks. This is indeed our fourth annual

1:02.5

year in review episode. We started in 2022 because the world of professional wrestling was so

WWE didn't even take its foot off the gas during the holiday season like it has in the past.

1:39.5

And during the summer into the fall, it went peddled to the metal and stuck it all the way down to the

1:44.4

floor. So we have plenty to discuss on this special edition of the Getting Over wrestling

1:50.5

podcast. But before we do, the Silver King does need to remind you that here at getting over

1:55.2

it's all about defies. So head over to Apple podcast and Spotify, leave a five star rating on Apple.

2:02.6

Take a little extra time. Leave a five star written review. If you do, we will read it live

2:08.3

right here on the show. And don't forget, I happen to love the number five. And I hope you

2:14.5

do as well. For $5 a month or $50 for the entire year, you can become an official getting overhead.
