We've been for a little boys this year.
Every name, it's an artificial tree. So I did artificial job. Timmy Timeless are your excusion player? Inability to adjust hollow the reindeer. The Lapsed Fan dollar Man set it claus it say It's.
Not so.
Amber. Back in the twenty twenty five tre Left Christmas Show, the um Wrapping four continues to unfold beneath your and our tree. It's been an outpouring of suits, of scripts, of blankets and horrors, E camera horrors, training cards and action figures and DVDs and books and boss, what's next? All you gotta here? We got this one. This one was damaged in transit. This is up royal mail. Ah Yes, many package from the Royal Mail Philip Bain. Oh yeah, I a homie. Here we go. Uh oh we got
oh wrapped this one? Yes, I said, damaged. Let's see if there's a note. Yes, there it is, oune note running out of counterspace rapidly. Yeah, seriously, it's getting to be a big fucking emergency. There's shit everywhere. Card from Ashgate Hospice. Oh nice little Oh I love that. What a quaint Victorian scene. There we go. We got double notes here to Jack JP at all with best wishes for Christmas in the new year. All the best, Phil. Yes,
we're going full euro now. Ye. Well boy, we've turned the unwrapping over to the Europeans, so what great support.
We dear Jack and JP seasons. Greetings from Mary, Old England. The cart and I have spent essentially just depict Saint Mary's Gate, a street named after Gate, and it's a legacy, the fact that this part of England was occupied by the Vikings over a thousand years ago. And Chesterfield's distinctive fourteenth century church with its crooked spire which both leans
and twists. I hope this message finds you well and full of festive chair twenty twenty five is coming to a close, and what a year it has been in the wider wrestling industry. WWE they buwed on Netflix in ESPN and repeatedly broke their own live ticket revenue records and then for houses that they milked every last penny from to actually celebrates the fact that they paid through the notes to see an exhibition of choreographed, collaborative, contrived
carnival combat. WW further expanded their international reach with Triple AH purchasing Triple A and WW hosting premium live events in Saudi Arabia, France, and Australia, as well as a number of live episodes of Raw from overseas two which afforded me the opportunity to watch episodes of Raw live for the first time ever. As US primetime is in the early hours of the morning here, so catching me live is I could be noted too, so catching his
live is inconvenient for someone who isn't nocturnal. Talking of actually watching week two week, I unlapsed at the start of the year with Raw debuting on Netflix. I actually watched it week to week from debut through to WrestleMania, after which I lapsed hard Since then. Since then I have only caught the occasional pl if only to follow along with your excellent live calls. The Raw debut saw Hulk Hogan make what would be his final Was it raw? Did he appearing raw?
He was on the La raw from now?
It was raw?
I thought there was oh when he came out wave the flag and got booed January sixth.
Year, I don't remember anymore. The Raw debut saw Hulk Hogan make what would be his final ever appearance in the WWA, barely able to walk, not even going out to the ring but the entrance stage, eating boo to the building. Little did we know at the time that he wasn't long for this world, being joined in the Battle Royal in the Sky by Sabu and Steve Mcmackazie McMichael died too for him.
We did it this yeah too.
At the time of writing the Complete Hell, Cogan is just getting going. But as thatat you'll have digs harder and deeper than anyone else in the quest for the definitive truth. In the industry where the truth is often regarded as an awkward inconvenience or something to be buried deep so deep they hope nobody will ever be able.
To find it.
I will, as ever, look forward to this developing and continuing as we continued Terry's quest to make his body as large as his head, with lots of juice and rigs on the journey, no doubt.
Ah.
For the fourth year in a row, I've sent you a contribution toward the annual unwrappening. Previously, I have sent you a various board and card games, which you have my blessing to redistribute as you wish, along with distinctly
British treats, including pup snacks of various variety. And this time I have sent you a gift each along with some more of what you have enjoyed for me in the past to start a more local produce a Thornton's Milk, chocolate chieky reindeer cheek and more flavors of Swivels squashes right here in Derbyshire. I love also sent some Christmas themed Percy pinks and Colin caterpillars from everyone's favorite upper crust food hole Marks and Spencer and violet festive themed Harriboo.
No pub snacks this time, no shrimp flavored like, no no uh, cress, shrimp flavors, shrimp flavored ass trinkets whatever they were calling no pubs. Design, couldn't think of anything I hadn't already sent. It was maleable. Didn't want to risk sending you pickled eggs via national posts. Can you read that last sentence again? I think that says it all about the unwrappening. I didn't want to risk sending you pickled eggs via international posts. Might have gotten a
major tariff on that one major awards. Please open your gifts this the missives will continue on the next page. That's what he wants to open first before we read.
Yeah, all right, far be it for us to to not follow directions. I don't know what's what's wow? So many Christmas packages, but it seems like there's a seems like he's making reference to something other than Yeah, see the Christmas se Christmas Street. See I see swizzles. There are sweets and swizzles in there. But let's we'll do these first. Okay, I don't know which one is. Which does that other name? Though? Oh wait, they are, Jack says mine. All right, good, look at that. I'll go first,
all right for it? A look at this vader from the Elite Collection, a lot of Harley with listening. I said, Harley Race, like, what's that? Well, I guess they do that where you like take parts of it and you make it with somebody else, with the gloves that come on and off. What do you have? He's giving me the look of like complete staring into space. He's staring a hole in me. It's brother love. He tosses. He tossed it. He tossed the rather love figure across the room.

We all need a live of love and respect. The JP in particular has for Bruce and he was clearly overawed by his share presence in charisma when you went to Mark under Selam mccool's clearly dreadful live show, The Dreadmendman Dreadman Shure. Now he can recreate a special
moment with his action figures figures. Jack had mentioned in the past that he laments the lack of a big Van Vader Hasbro. Fortunately I wasn't able to magic one up, but I was able to They do well. They have the new Hasbro now seen that one, and then someone gave us a custom to.
I'm lamenting the lack of a real one, right why Hasbro contract at some point?
Unfortunately I wasn't able to magic one up, but I was able to get to a regular Vada figure.
Perhaps he can.
Fight the regular Hasbros as Super Vader, owing to his largest size. Together, but the love in Vader can form a tag team in JP's toy feed called the fat pieces of Shit.
