A mysterious figure returns from the past and threatens to ruin the Champ's future. Imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit, can the Ginger Ninja save the day and his reputation? Will the Ginger Ninja be able to lift the curse? Will Damien ever be able to impersonate an animal convincingly? And will anyone ever recover from the nightmarish vision of the final act? Once again, all the ingredients of a classic Christmas episode are here.

[00:01:22] Jam, any change in your routine? No! Same! Two curries, Panicura, speed read of the Daily Mail.
[00:01:28] So what's different?
[00:01:29] Nothing. It still capitalises certain words and headlines to evoke emotion in otherwise meaningless events.
[00:01:36] What about, ah, I've got it. You're new broadband provider. You switched that recently.
[00:01:42] No other net, no! It's been perfect for streaming port, but PWF matches. He has got stuck in the tail.

I don't know I clean it. What's going on? Oh?
[00:04:24] No, no, no, no, what is it? That's not possible
[00:04:27] Something I love Turn it off! 6 9 6 9 6 9 Hash! Someone's here. Give me a hand me. No thank you. I'd rather suck on a lorry's exhaust pipe than be downwind of your arse. Suit yourself. Where are we going? To the belt room.
[00:05:45] If you can hear me,
[00:05:47] I'm coming for you.
[00:07:03] And I've. Me powers. Me sex appeal. Well, I mean, can you lose something you haven't had? Leave a man with a bit of dignity. Look how far you've come. Right? There's a lot of success on those walls. One, seven, twenty-two, fifteen, twenty-seven. Fuck. There's one missing. Well, which one?
[00:07:05] The three.
[00:07:06] And who did you wrestle for that? We've got bigger problems to solve like what you're on the brink of losing the P. Wf title I need someone who can work out what's going on in your head before it's too late. All right, all right Just give us 10 million. Yeah, just gonna leave you to that
[00:08:22] Brings ready
[00:09:40] Ready like battle your mates His bow seeks to tear his soul apart. Are you there? And could you put Kettleock? Far sugars? Sharman. Sharman Sue. He waits for his opponents to draw near. Then strikes with all his speed and skill most dear.
[00:09:45] Ah! Tintanette slowing you down. If wrestling is scripted, does that mean I'm not real? Huh, no way. I'm 100% human. Just don't show me your ass again. Wrestling with the champ. Oh, how can now, dear friends, to what unfolds?
[00:11:05] A battle in the ring?
[00:11:07] A fight?
[00:11:08] Most bold? to a threesome then bagsy-oldic cots. Let's begin. This might hurt a bit. Oh! We've got a reglow! Is he going to be all right? Oh, what a spectacle this fight becomes pull them curtains down. I'll grab a spear. We are not stupid people in movies, all right? That is not what we do. We do the decent thing and it's like on the outside. I'm busy living inside. Would you say this is busy? You wait and giving up the title. If I'm getting in the ring, then there's something I'm gonna need.
[00:16:20] Something big.
[00:16:21] Damn it, we're out of here. So he said... Who? Me? No. I'm just a cleaner. And then exactly... But then that's when you're losing streak, began. Do you think it was him who stole the pyonia title? I took what should have been mine. Huh? Ah! Ah! Ah!
[00:17:40] Ah!
[00:17:41] Ah!
[00:17:42] Ah!
[00:17:43] Ah!
[00:17:44] Ah!
[00:17:45] Ah!
[00:17:46] Ah!
[00:17:47] Ah!
[00:17:48] Ah! you need for a salon quality manicure in one box. And if you break it down, it really comes out to $2 a manicure, which is absolutely insane. It's also so easy to get salon worthy nails at home with Olive and June. The difference between how your nails used to look when you did them yourself and now with the Manny system is a complete game changer. The best thing about Olive and June too
[00:19:00] is it's a quick dry.
[00:19:01] Drives in about one minute, lasts for five days
[00:19:04] and full coverage in up to one to two coats. And now finally I have it. Er... no. Wait, it's just a podcast wrestling with the kimp.
[00:20:24] Who are you? I am the ultimate master of disguise. Cleaner, after you last saw the champ, he went on a losing streak. A really long one. Sorry. 19 straight defeats with nothing but L's. He can't get to 20. Breville, please! You can keep the belt. Look, he's got a match in an hour. All right, he can't lose. Not again.
[00:21:42] Tell your friend here the truth.
[00:21:44] The truth? What's he on about?
[00:21:46] Breville, we're booked to win that night. I've already put 10 grand on you. Jesus! What you do that for? You owe me. Champ is time. All its news agents is proud to present,
[00:23:00] larger than life, 2023.
[00:23:03] Hit them drums.
[00:23:06] We're at the fall on the hill in Shropshire Oh, man! Oh, man! Camo! I'm a dream! Classic performance, yet brilliant. Fantastic. Oh! Oh! What? What's happening? Cam? Oh! Yes! No! No!
[00:24:21] Oh, that cleaner must be in the arena somewhere.
[00:24:23] Camo!
[00:24:24] Oh!
[00:24:25] Oh!
[00:24:27] He's by the firing zit! Even if this domino doesn't fall, the others will. What did you just say? Damn it! I need you! Oh, kill him a crack and reels ginger back in and ties him up in his sleeper hold. That's how he plans to win the PWF title. Tie him out and make him pass out.
[00:25:41] Ha ha ha!
[00:25:42] When I win this, I'll double my prices. Many kindges in the crowd. Hundreds were being exaggeration. But from out of nowhere, every single person in the audience is now wearing a ginger curly wig. It's like the Mick Hocknell edition of Where's Wally. And McCracken doesn't know where to look. Which one is the real ginger ninja?
[00:27:00] The ref looks more confused than a DPD driver
[00:27:03] trying to find a letterbox.
[00:27:05] And now one by one, the ginger's enter Buckbuster. The Borg wrestling Federation universe! He goes to the cover. But there's no rest. He's already done a runner. The new Ginger Army. I make that a t-shirt. Drag a confused McCrack into his feet. Oh no. Oh no. They launch him over the top rope. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
[00:28:21] No, no, no, no, no! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Just how many belts have there been in the PUB Wrestling Federation? Ohhh... 103? Really? 480? 276? 4? Maybe nobody knows. But what would you say for the P.W.F. was the peak era? Oh, easy. The 90s. Air gear.
[00:29:40] The ego era.
[00:29:41] When we were wrecking it, cash.
[00:29:43] Wherever there was a sponsor, there was a strap.
[00:29:46] I never knew that.
