Only just watching TLC, are WWE stupid - Mickie James fat?!! She's absolutely lovely, they really are out of their minds.

How hypocritical too that they publicly humiliate her (and IMO her tears on SD were probably completely real) for perhaps having gained a little weight (though she looks perfect to me), when they constantly give pushes to two extremely overweight wrestlers in the Big Show and Mark Henry.

Shame on you WWE.

Hey anyone go to see the All-Star Wrestling shows in the UK? Not been for about 15 months but planning to attend the next one in Hull in February.

I always allow myself a little chuckle at the description of Show as the "world's biggest athlete".

Being able to wrestle a match with less moves than even a geriatric Hogan can string together doesn't make you an "athlete" fellas. He's about as athletic as Raymond van Barneveld.

Congratulations to Tara on becoming Knockouts champion - you deserve it babe.

Is TNA going to be live in the UK on the 4th? Only watched two episodes all year but am tempted to tune in and see what happens.

Be interesting to see if Hart has a run in WWE until Mania.

I hope it is on live - with Bret Hart hosting Raw on January 4th and TNA/Hogan pulling out all the stops, it'll be a great night for wrestling fans.

A return to the good old days of flicking back and forth between WWE and WCW to see which one was better. Of course in the UK they were both televised on Friday but at least at the same time.

There's no iMPACT! this week due to Spike running a Star Trek marathon in the US yesterday. On New Years Eve in the US a 4 hour special will be shown with new matches from the Knockouts, plus matches of the year (voted by the fans) will be shown. Not sure if that special is getting shown over here.

Currently at tnawrestling.com they have preview video of the matches of the year, 1 a day in the lead up to the special. It also has Christmas photos of the Knockouts, including Tara.

As for the live iMPACT! airing date over here it's not been confirmed yet.

Watch out for WWE starting some sort of Bret Hart angle on tonight's Raw or at least announcing Hart's return for January 4th.

There's no way that they won't be announcing it beforehand and having it as a 'surprise' on the night. They'll need some hype for that particular show as its going up against TNA.

Now confirmed on WWE.com, the Hitman's hosting 4th January Raw, can't wait.
