-- There has been no really major news to come out of the TWF in the past few days mainly because of everything settling down due to the Christmas Period. All that's left is to review the year and look forward to 2005.

-- Announced this week by THQ was that they are finally going to go into development of a TWF Wrestling Game for PlayStation 2. The title, "TWF Summer Break: The Game", will be released in time for next year's event and we are told that it will feature the same standards you have come to expect in the WWE series of games, but in a unique TWF style, including the fact that when you go through season mode you will receive certain bonuses and bonus stars. THQ were also quick to confirm that the Rage in the Double Cage, House of Pain and Buried Alive matches will be in, as will WarGames.

-- Mr. BIG, Frekishi and The Shott have been engaging in a huge war of words over the past few weeks that could see the latter two fired. This news seems to come through each week and it is not surprising talent. Frekishi has become very outspoken recently in Biggie's treatment of him, saying that he has ditched him and his character whilst being too busy elevating talent like Louise who are only in it for the money. The Shott seems to have taken Frekishi's side, with Marz surprisingly taking Biggie's side of the story, saying that The Shott and Frekishi's gimmick need to be refreshed and Biggie has given them ideas as to how that can happen. They have not taken to them kindly despite the fact that they are strong ideas and can boost their overness. If the situation does not improve, it is likely that when their current angles finish, both will be asked kindly to leave. XCW seems to be both their calling, but XCW has recently seen the same side to both that the TWF has, particularly with Frekishi, who's confrontations with AJ Jeffers are a major source of discussion in XCW locker rooms at the moment.

-- The TWF has asked us to remind you that following PayBack, the TWF goes on it's annual Christmas break, and will return to PPV on New Year Partee on January 9th 2005. In-between, there will be one piece of new programming - the Best of 2004 Awards on New Year's Eve. Besides that, Meltdown and Time-Out will be holding bloopers shows and Best of special's themselves.

-- Prior to PayBack, Mr. BIG set the tone for 2005 by saying that the TWF will be out to impress. It appears that most things will be geared toward the 5th Anniversary Celebrations in the early part of the year, with the mid-part dedicated toward Summer Break VI.

-- Speaking of Summer Break VI, the MGM Grande Garden is favourite to hold the event. But, The Millennium Stadium, Soldier Field, Brackla Community Centre and even Old Trafford are said to be after the event.

-- When the TWF does go on it's anticipated North American Tour next year, it is expected that they only stop in the North part of the US and major Canadian cities such as Toronto, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Edmonton, Calgary, Montreal and possibly Vancouver, as well as Detroit, Chicago, Milwaukee, Grand Rapids, Columbus and possibly Boston.

-- The TWF recently held it's Christmas party at the Hardkore Café in the Bridgend Dome. Many said it was a very high-spirited affair and a good night was enjoyed by all. All the talent and staff brought wives and girlfriends, whilst children were also given free roam. One surprise was Mr. BIG's antics, or lack there of. He seems fairly comfortable walking around and just having a chat, instead of being a rowdy so-and-so like many were being. A lot of people said that is Biggie's nature to be mature due to his background of having both a father and brother (Mr. Edwards was a policeman before re-joining the TWF as chairman) in law enforcement.

-- NJS was present with Lita although neither were particularly rowdy due to Lita's pregnancy. NJS was with both his wife and Louise for most of night. Quite surprisingly, Louise arrived alone, as did Biggie, which certainly raised eyebrows.

-- After Christmas, Team EV is expected to get a pretty big push along with Hades. Their angle has been one of the best received backstage.

-- There is talk of in March next year that the TWF will honour the members of staff who have been there since the start, including Mr. BIG, NJS, AJ Jeffers, Marz, Owen Carl, and Team EV, who have been regulars for the 5 years of the TWF's existence.
