A look at the Wrestling Observer Year End Awards (Warning: There are some spoilers here, if you haven’t gotten your new WON then wait until you read it to listen to the show). I look back at the awards historically including detailed discussions on Wrestler of the Year and Most disgusting promotional tactics. It’s a long show detailing all the awards, plus the return of this day in wrestling history.

Also, Granny loses her mind over American Gladiators, new songs, new shout-outs, and more!

ANOTHER HUGE SHOW! We’re joined by Mike Coughlin to talk the UFC 80 PPV, then we’ve got the ROH PPV from Friday night to discuss as well as a really fun episode of Derby City Wrestling. And yes, it’s that time of year again, time to read the OFFICIAL F4WONLINE.COM ROYAL RUMBLE POOLS~! This year we have, bafflingly, FOUR POOLS, so we’ll get those out of the way and still find time for some brand new songs. A fun way to start the new week!

We’ve got a useless edition of ECW to review, plus a terrible Impact with a great main event, a really great Global Impact (and what an irony), a fine edition of Smackdown, and Celebrity Rehab and Apprentice with Bryan’s Friend Craig.
