First and most importantly, condolences go out to the family of Full Impact Pro Wrestling promoter Sal Hammoui; whose wife died suddenly and unexpectedly on Saturday morning. Understandably, the promotion's events are suspended until further notice, including the December 14th Brooksville, FL show and December 15th show in Crystal River, FL.

To other matters...

Combat Zone Wrestling presents its biggest show of the year Cage of Death IX on Saturday night, December 8th at the ECW (New Alhambra) Arena.

The promotion will hold its third annual Toys for Tots collection at the show. CZW is asking fans to bring an new, unwrapped toy to the show and drop it in the boxes at the front door of the ECW (New Alhambra) Arena.
