Ledwo Legalne 5 (Barely Legal) was PpW Ewenement's major show of 2025, held on the 7th of June 2025 at Mińska 65 in Warsaw, which is the same venue that held Teraz Albo Nigdy.
Build-up
- At the run-up show Ostatnia Prosta, several matches were announced or confirmed:
- In a contract signing segment, Gustav Gryffin selected the stipulation for his upcoming match against Goblin - a Three Stages of Hell match. The stages are as follows:
- Classic Wrestling Match (contrary to standard PpW rules: no foreign objects, no interference)
- No Holds Barred
- Submission Match that can only be won via TKO (making the opponent pass out). It was billed as W imię zasad: Walka do odciny (roughly: In the name of principles: Fight till blackout)
- As Mister Z granted Biesiad the opportunity to fight him at this show, Biesiad immediately declared it to be a Cieśla (Carpenter) Match, presumably involving lots of furniture.
- Axel Fox challenged Olgierd.
- The Enigma Scramble match at the same show ended with three out of four wrestlers scoring one point: Sentinel, Wonder Haze and Sambor. All of them were granted a match at this show, with no further details given.
- At Teraz Albo Nigdy Vic Golden turned on his former friend Gabriel Queen, later explaining that he was fed up with Queen getting all the biggest chances, while he got nothing.
- On 22.05.2025 PpW confirmed that the match that Enigma Scramble contenders have qualified for, is going to be a six-man ladder match for the PpW Championship number one contendership. With three spots still empty, PpW confirmed that additional qualifying matches will take place at their Mystic Festival showcase.
- On 25.05.2025 PpW posted a video of Marco Hammers phoning Mister Z. He runs down all the matches that Zmowa has at the show and requests one for himself. Following up on his ladder spot from Ostatnia Prosta, Marco calls himself a "ladder specialist", likening himself to Jeff Hardy. He requests being added to the Six Man #1 Contender Ladder Match. While the voice on the phone is never heard, Marco's reaction as well as the video's description confirm that the deal was made.
- On 26.05.2025 PpW posted a video containing lab diary of Professor Dobroniak. In it, he lists various ways to get rid of Johnny Zombie Blade. One way is to kill the zombie, but that would also kill Johnny Blade. However, Dobroniak's research allowed him to discover a more humane way to beat Zombie Johnny - bathe him in non-alcoholic beer, which should cure his zombie affliction. Thus, Johnny Blade vs Stanisław van Dobroniak has been set up as an Undead Beerbath Match: Project Zero. Dobroniak vows to save Johnny Blade and become a hero of Polish wrestling.
- On the following day PpW officially announced the match. The Facebook post referred to the stipulation as "Protocole Zero" (note the misspelling of "protocol"), but the accompanying image kept "Project Zero".
- On 5.06.2025 PpW announced the full line-up for the Six-Man Ladder Match: Sentinel, Robert Star, Oskar Aleksander, Marco Hammers, Sambor and Wonder Haze.

Highlights
- For the ladder match, Marco Hammers dyed and shaved his beard to copy Jeff Hardy's look, and also used Jeff's entrance routine, including music.
- In the actual match, however, it turned out Marco might have lied on his resumé as he seemed to be afraid of heights, and needed a lot of time to scale any ladder.
- In a comedic spot, Marco found the smallest ladder available, about a metre high, and called two referees to hold it down for him as he climbed.
- In the Undead Beerbath Match, Zombie Johnny was significantly slower and less resourceful than his usual self, but also quite more resilient, no-selling many of Dobroniak's attacks. However, he was finally tied down with a length of barbed wire, and carried to the bathtub filled with non-alcoholic beer.
- As Johnny woke up from his zombified state, he celebrated together with Dobroniak and the fans, both apparently forgetting about their rivalry for the PpW European Ultraviolent Championship.
- After an unfortunate ref bump Gabriel pinned Vic, but there was no one to count. Moments later Oskar Aleksander intervened unexpectedly, attacked Queen with a chair and handed it to Vic. Exiting the ring, he rolled the ref back in for a slow three-count on the badly beaten Queen.
- The "Cieśla Match" involved multiple tables, and many creative ways to break them. In a dangerous spot, a ladder barely missed some of the crowd after being thrown out of the ring.
- Goblin's entrance routine fooled fans not once, but twice: when the music hit, a character wearing the Goblin mask and his ring gear entered but remained standing in the entryway. He was followed by another one, wearing Goblin's white-and-green trunks. That was also not the real Goblin, who entered third, in a gold-painted mask, fire-motif trunks and a new jacket with Goblin's eye symbol.
- In the main event's final No Holds Barred chapter, the wrestlers made a lot of callbacks to their previous matches and storylines. The barbed-wire crown from Ledwo Legalne 4 made a return, as did the chain with collars on both ends used in Goblin vs Olgierd. Gustav also lifted a section of the metal barriers into the ring, and used it on his opponent. Vicious belt strikes by Gustav called back to his match against Samson.
- In the final moments opponents were brawling outside the ring, when Goblin set up a table near the entrance, and climbed a steel structure for the final splash.
