So we are officially done this year for wrestling pay-per-views, and man, has it been 12 months of ups and downs,

which has been great for me, but all elite wrestling just did give us at world's end. Man, there's so much to talk about. We have a brand new C2 winner, and we have a brand new heavyweight champion. So sit down, grab yourself a cup of coffee, and hello, my friends. Thank you for joining me. I am Simon Miller, ups and downs, and my uchip content has returned after i flew around the world for reasons you will find out about in due course maybe maybe not who the flub knows i have you had a great holiday season i hope you're looking forward to new year and now take your finger up pal which is not a euphemism let's give the good bits and up and the bad bits are down for at world's end now we did indeed start with one of our semi-finals for the C2, which makes sense because you've got to give these guys some time to rest, because we were going to do the final as well. And actually, we got a match that many people thought was going to be the last bout. It was to Kest to take it on Akada with Don Kazan commentary going, ha ha, I don't know what to do. it's like my friends and brothers and lovers fighting. And yes, sure, you can say given this was the first time

to Kestria Rikar had a proper match, maybe they were holding something back for round two, but also, once again, you need to keep this in your brain. Anytime we do talk about the content or classic today, these guys have to do double matches as a man who wrestles themselves. Sometimes you do one match. Like, oh my gosh, I'm so damn tired. And these guys are having like five star level quality matches, or at least in that realm all the time. And then they go out and do it again. I think we have to tip our hats and say good day. Brad also loved this as well because, again, it was Akada versus De Kester. And we're kind of drawing line here. Akka was such an asshole whereas De Kestha was just sort of fighting from underneath and trying to be a good babyface guy. Well once again Don't Kass on commentary was all like we'll have to see what happens here but don't worry they will be in the Don Kallis family forever which means one of them is going to leave and yes it's going to be De Kester. There's also this awesome bit when they're reversing tombstones and Dekeshda won that battle, so he threw a card halfway across the ring with the German suplex. When he proved he's actually got super smart throughout 2025, because he did heat the least devastating move in all the sports center tail with the blue thunder bomb, but he didn't go for a pin, he just laid there to get his HP back and to restore his energy bars. That's how you do it, because as we know, the blue thunder bomb never pins anyone. Hikara then started throwing laryotes. Because De Kestri was kind of no selling these, the commentators told us, oh my gosh, Ricardo is so scared, but also there was this great reversal. When DeKesha did turn it into the most devastating move in all the sports and attempted to prize roll up and he got a one-two and that's when I realised maybe

Dekhista wins maybe Akada wins this match has Jeopardy which is wrestling secret sauce

actually the big old story here was eventually Akada found a screwdriver behind Tina the turnbuckle

and at first you thought ha ha ha ha I'm sure Don Callis would have put that

there. But why would he put it there when Takesha was in the match as well? Well, actually, this was going to be a clue for a match that was going to happen in about five minutes. And yes, sure, here, I think they were meant to bump the ref or scare the ref, but it didn't really work very well. And you do have to give a little bit of a down here, even though I don't care.

People make mistakes all the time, but I do get it.

If they didn't execute the thing they were trying to

do, it kind of takes you out of the suspension of disbelief. But I think that Akado was meant to kind of crush De Kester into the referee who was going to cower away when he smacked DeKest it on the head to the screwdriver, but instead, the ref kind of just went,

whoop, I won't look at that.

When Okada did use the driver of screws, he got carder just went, boop, I won't look at that when Akada did use

the driver of screws, he got the one, two, three. And this was great too, because of course, everyone was saying, Akada is the greatest tournament wrestle at all time where he's gone, ha ha, I'm going to cheat because I don't care, I just want to win, I do have to say. From a character stance. This is my favorite version of a carder ever. Of course, the Kesha was super pissed off

afterwards and I do have to say, from a character stance, this is my favourite version of a carder ever. Of course, the Keshe was super pissed off afterwards and I would imagine another single scratch for the title is going to happen. Well, in February, I suppose. We get a few weeks build, but I am going to give it an up. It was so damn good and again, it just set the table. So we do get to round two, this thing is going to be absolutely redunculus. We also then went to the other semi-final for the C2 for Reins we've already talked about, and it was John Moxie versus Carl Fletcher. And do you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to keep it nice and simple. It doesn't just get it up. It gets a golden up. This thing was absolutely fantastic, with again a winner I was not expecting. And given that we have got to the end of 2025,

and I think he's already won this award elsewhere, if you want to give Breakup Star the year to anyone, it has to be to Carl Fletcher. Somehow, he just keeps getting better and better. And actually, going back to January, he was still having pretty good matches, and that's for John Moxley. I understand he's in a quiet taste and some people really hate him. But I think from where he was in the summer to where he is now, with the fans being behind it, me like, oh man, you tap down so much, John Moxley. But because you keep on fighting now, we love you again. It's just a massive round of applause. I thought this was flubbing great. Even Brian Danielson had to weigh in and say,

you know, what I think one of the reasons John Moxie is being chin is because the C2 has no interference rule. So we now kind of seeing the old John Moxley. But yes, the big twist here is towards the end car was like, well, my love, I've left a screwdriver behind Tino the Zernbuckle and I'm going to stab John Moxie right in the head, but when he got to

got it, it wasn't there because of course Akka had found it,

which begs the question, if this was a Carl Fletcher-Don Callis plan, how did Akada know?

And maybe we're screwing over to Kestha Toul, so the plot think I'm saying.

Of course Fletcher tried to work over the leg of Moxie as well, and this also is a big old story,

because yes, every time John Moxie gets to the submission move, well, like, no, he's going to tap out because he has done that for the last six months. But here, when Carl Fletcher applied the Boston Crab, which is weird because one, he's not from Boston, and two, actually it was a half crab, he's most definitely not a crab.

Everybody was desperate for Boxie to reverse it.
