Coming off a big show last week, anticipation was high for what this Friday night was going to bring us. This is the beauty of the weekly shows – wrestling has a notoriously short memory and getting to tap in every week really helps keeps the story momentum going. We got a nice, tight 5 match show – plus an instalment of everyone's favourite 365 talk show, Stein Time!

Inferno vs Zack Andrews (w/ Petunia)
Nothing like starting off a show with Inferno. And Zack Andrews has certainly levelled up since becoming heir to the throne of the Fifth Dimension. Pretty stoked for this one, despite the row of lads behind The Crew who attempted “Twist his dick” and “Twist his nipple” trying their best to steal the focus. Thankfully these chants didn't get any traction and they didn't attempt them again for the rest of the night. If you're at a wrestling show, please do not participate in such chants. Anyyyywaaaaays... Lots of fast offence to start this one off. Inferno is a blink-and-you'll-miss-him kinda wrestler. He hit a springboard European uppercut. A nice cannonball in the corner. Zack stops the onslaught with a nice headbutt, and then locks in a beautiful double wristlock. Inferno tries to get loose only to get taken down by a lovely big boot from Andrews. Andrews gets Inferno upside down for a big stalling suplex that Inferno reverses into a sweet guillotine choke. Inferno went up top and hit a pretty crazy frogsplash-esque crossbody. Andrews hit an absolutely BRUTAL powerbomb on Inferno and the locked in a great cloverleaf. (Ain't seen one of then in awhile! Nice one, bad guy Zack.) Inferno ends up winning this one with a Swanton bomb. A mighty fine match!

This past Friday night (January 2), the Victoria chapter of 365 Nation convened at the First Met United Hall for the dawning of a new era. An era filled with WEEKLY WRESTLING as 365 Pro Wrestling started their ambitious schedule of weekly shows in 2026. As going to 365 is one of the few things keeping me sane in an ever-crumbling world and is, quite frankly, one of my favourite things to write about, I figured a weekly recap might be useful, at least for myself and hopefully for some others. These will be quick notes with jokes, casually and quickly thrown down. I'm not a machine and can't get to every single show (I DO have a life, contrary to what it seems like sometimes), so maybe we'll have a guest recapper here and there. Anyways, this exciting new era of 365 Pro Wrestling kicked off with Holiday Hangover, a 6-match card with three title matches. Let's find out what happened!

1. Rad Dad (c) vs Haviko – 365 Global Championship
Haviko is out first. Late last year Haviko traded in all his long built-up good will with the fans and turned heel after he turned his back on fan-favourite Inferno. He's more hated as a heel than he was loved as a face – and he was reeeaalllly loved as a face. Incredible work. Rad Dad has been holding both of the big 365 belts for so long it would feel strange to have him not come out with both belts. That's a lot of gold. The two hit hard, trading back and forth. Haviko hit a fucking brutal ushigoroshi on Rad Dad that only got a two count. Haviko looked like he was going to take control with some dastardy cheating but wait! A wild Inferno appears! He thwarts Haviko's cheating. Haviko ends up on his back prone, and wham! One of the most beautiful moonsaults I've ever seen Rad Dad throw gets him the win. Rad Dad retains! We are happy.
