Welcome back to the interactive UK Scene with your friendly neighbourhood Saz.
We’re back with another week and a fuller looking scene as we move away from the expense, and oddly, the most depressing day of the year.
If you have any suggestions don’t forget to email us here at the UK Scene!
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.

FCW Saul Adams vs Carl Mizzery
The current FCW Champion Saul Adams had a fairly dominant 2007 at the top of the tree. Although he lost possession of the title for a few months over the summer to Carl Mizzery, he quickly gained it back. His many defenses of the title also included two pinfall victories over ‘Anarchist’ Doug Williams.
Saul has been thrown into a FCW Title defense on the first show of 2008 against the man he lost the title to in mid-2007 Carl Mizzery. Saul Adams agreed to the match, but added one stipulation. Should Carl be unsuccessful in this match, he will never get another shot at the FCW Title whilst Saul is champion!
