Viewer discretion is advised… but this one comes straight from the heart.

In this special mini-episode of New to Wrestling, Xavier and Kelsey hit pause on the usual chaos to say one very important thing: Thank You.

What started as a hopeful coat drive turned into something way bigger than either of us imagined. From coats and boots to handmade scarves and crocheted blankets, the outpouring of generosity from our wrestling community absolutely blew us away. Multiple carloads later, donations were delivered to Toni’s Kitchen, where the need was immediate and real.

This episode is about community. It’s about what happens when wrestling fans show up for something bigger than the ring. It’s about DollyMoo opening their doors, friends jumping in to help, and the reminder that even in a weird world, people still care deeply for one another.

We also share:

• What it was like delivering the donations
• Why this will become an annual tradition
• Details on upcoming shows we’ll be attending (Fuego Lucha’s Amor Igera and ETU’s By Any Means at The Mecca)
• A spotlight on the Cauliflower Alley Club and how you can directly support wrestlers in need

This was never about numbers — but the numbers mattered. And more importantly, the people did.

Our regular programming returns next week. For now, this one is about gratitude, wrestling family, and proving that when we work together, we can actually make a difference.

Thank you for showing up.
