Welcome back to the interactive UK Scene with your friendly neighbourhood Saz.
Now the UK top 50 is underway and I have received a load of votes from fans, I will be going amongst the wrestling community to get their view, unless of course they've already voted. Go to this thread to take a look at last year's results.
If you are a booker or promoter and would like to add your promotion info here. If it helps get more interest to your shows from the casual web browser, then we're all better off.
What we do care about in all aspects of the UK Scene is your opinion, especially the paying punter, so if you have a say you are more than welcome to express it, whether it is a popular opinion or not.

Massive WAW Event
Source: Knightmare
WAW have signed a contract with Arena Travel to produce a wrestling weekend at Pontins Pakefield Lowestoft, the weekend of 31st Oct-4th november.
Thw whole weekend will be built around wrestling, with shows, Friday, Saturday Sunday, in ring training seminars, legends of wrestling. question and answer to the stars, chance to do commentary on shows, make your own promo dvd, stalls, swop shop and mixing with wrestling stars from all over the world.
The main event will be a supershow on the sunday evening with stars booked from around the globe to end the weekend in spectacular fashion.
Other entertainment on display will be live bands, karaoke, comedians, DJs etc, 24 HOUR film room showing wrestling shows, side shows, everything to make it a weekend to remember.
The price of the weekend will include admission to all shows, training seminars, all entertainment and accomadation in the hoilday park chalets.
We await confirmation of official price but we have been adviced it will be around £160 per person.
Top uk talent already booked so far: Doug Williams, Jonny Storm, Zebra Kid, Sweet Saraya, Paul Tyrell, Jimmy Ocean, Zak Zodiac, Jetta, Karl Kramer, Sam Slam, UK Pitbulls, Rob Brookside and Drew McDonald.
Karaoke!!! Woohoo! Seriously though, it sounds like a fun event if you are prepared to pay the price for entry, though I suspect the majority is for the Chalet hire. Having said that, it's an innovative idea and could be great fun for wrestling fans, or people who want to get into UK wrestling.
