Welcome back to the interactive UK Scene with your friendly neighbourhood Saz.
FCW started off strong this year and hopefully this is a good sign for wrestling in 2008, they defied the odds with a good turnout in January. It seems batteries are refreshed in the UK Scene, a strong Midlands contingent, with the Northern guys going exceptionally quiet.
Whatever the reason being, the UK Scene will report on your local company as we are given the news.
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.

Shock at FWE
“FWE wrestler Robbie Michaels invaded the WAW show in GT Yarmouth last Sunday. Promising multi title holder Zak Zodiac that he will bring the FWE belt back to Liverpool, Zak answered the challenge but officials made this a tag encounter. Michaels recruited “Dark Angel” Ashe and Zak recruited The Zebra Kid! A fast and furious tag match ended with Michaels getting the pinfall on Zodiac after using a steel chair.
As Zak is FWE champion he is free to defend the title a minimum of every 30 days in any wrestling company in the UK, Michaels has received a 30 day suspension for his invasion and is ordered to reunite with “Dark Angel” Ashe as Revolution X against Zak Zodiac and The Zebra Kid at the next Crosby show March 7th.”
