The Smackdown crew was in Vancouver, BC last night with Brock Lesnar over Eddy Guerrero. Smackdown is being taped in Tacoma, WA tonight, so spoilers should be out late.

The paperback edition of Freddie Blassie's autobiography has been released, and Mike Johnson has several other updates on wrestling related books.

Major League Wrestling cancelled their February 13 show, and owner Court Bauer says "the venture is at an end" after a pair of primary investors pulled out.

The Torch republished Jason Powell's November look at MLW's attempt to make a comeback.
