Hello everyone, it's CoreyC back with your WWE Universe news on "The Weekender."

We're getting ready for a winter blast here on the Connecticut "Gold Coast", with anywhere from 2 to 14 inches expected, depending on how much rain, sleet or snow hits us.

The WWE.com office is very quiet, as many staffers are working remotely from home so they don't get stuck in the bad weather. Of course, yours truly is a trooper ... a little snow won't scare me. Besides, in the "snow belt" area of Great Lakes, this is just a "dusting." :-)

Now, on to business...

We had a great debut last night of "The Finkel Factor" last night, and special thanks to Fink and The Million Dollar Man, Ted DiBiase for taking part. The transcript is still available. Of course, The Million Dollar Man challenged me to dribble a basketball 15 times for some holiday cash, and I failed (thanks to Fink for kicking the ball away.).

We only have two more Live Blogs for 2008 ... we'll be on Universe Saturday night at 8:45 p.m. for the Tribute to the Troops Live Blog as it airs live on NBC, then we'll be back for a Raw Live Blog Monday night at 8:45 p.m. for coverage of Raw from Toronto.

I just want to extend a special thank you to everyone in WWE Universe, all the posters in the Forums, all the bloggers, and everyone else on the site for making 2008 a special one. We've gone from zero to 257,000+ members in just eight months, and we couldn't have done it with each and every one of you!

We're going to keep the momentum going in 2009, as WWE Universe will be a focal point of WWE's WrestleMania week coverage, including special Live Blogs all weekend long, and other surprises. And we're also in the labs cooking up some new features for the site. More on those to come...

From the WWE Universe and WWE.com staff, Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to all of you!
