Sources have led the International Wrestling Federation to believe that a sex-tape on the Internet that was purported to "star" Gregory Helms is indeed the genuine article.
Helms was unavailable for comment so we quizzed Melinda, an IWF office worker who has seen the movie. "I'd certainly like to be hit by Helms' hammer" said Melinda.

CORPORAL PUNISHMENT CARD
SUNDAY 27TH JANUARY 2007
NOTTINGHAM ARENA
IWF Unified World Heavyweight Title;
Vs 
Jay Reso Vs Randy Orton
NOTTINGHAM ARENA
IWF Unified World Heavyweight Title;
Vs Jay Reso Vs Randy Orton
Jay Reso took the Unified title at Breaking Point in the brutal and hellacious Satan's Cage match, but his first port of call as defending champion is to take on former champion Randy Orton. Orton states the odds were stacked against him at Breaking Point and now that it's one-on-one he will regain what is "rightfully" his. Reso says that Orton is old news and that this match will only reinforce that fact. Whoever is true, this is sure to be an epic battle.
Satan's Return Grudge Match;
Vs 
Matt Morgan Vs Samoa Joe
Satan's Return Grudge Match;
Vs Matt Morgan Vs Samoa Joe
Some say that Samoa Joe arguably cost Matt Morgan the opportunity to leave Satan's Cage as the Unified World Champion; Morgan says there is no "arguably" about it. He insists that without Joe's "nieve" actions, he would have won the gold. Joe, for his part, merely says he was doing what he had every right to do in a "every man for himself" match. The two are on a collision course that is set to explode at Corporal Punishment. In a unique twist, IWF Commissioner Eric Bischoff has decreed that only the winner of this match can take a spot in the 40 Man Robo Rumble match. So it really is ALL at stake in this one.
40 Man Robo Rumble;
THE WINNER GETS WORLD TITLE SHOT AT MUSCLEMANIA XVI
Participants;
Triple H, The Big Gee, Abyss, Xavier, Matthew Mercy
Sting, Burchill, Edge, CM Punk, Barabus Lashley

European Tag Team Titles;
Brian Kendrick & Lance Hoyt Vs Flavio Love & Loco Delgado
European Tag Team Titles;

Boxing Day Warfare SHOCKER
At the beginning of the show, IWF Commissioner Eric Bischoff, in his last week in charge before his month's holiday, welcomed Dean and his wife Annalise to the show but things immediately took a strange turn as Dean thanked Eric for inviting him to the show and Eric replied that it had all been Annalise's suggestion.
Throughout the show Dean mingled with some of the IWF superstars at the show and even managed a handshake with the man who had retired him at Heat Wave, Matthew Mercy (despite the fact Mercy had, of course, broken Annalise's leg earlier in the year).
At the climax of the show, Dean and Annalise made their way to the ring to soak in the cheers of the crowd but that's when it turned really strange. Annalise took the microphone and said she had an announcement to make. George Minister speculated she might be pregnant, but instead she took out an envelope, gave it to Dean and told him it contained...DIVORCE PAPERS!
As the show went off the air, Annalise walked out of the ring leaving a stunned Dean Roberts alone in the ring!
Who knows what will happen next?

Breaking Point Review
Eric Young Vs Brian Kendrick (Ladder, * * * 1/4)
Well if you wanted a fast-paced start to a pay-per-view then these were definitely the two men to give it. Admittedly it was little more than insane Ladder-based high spots are a very brief feeling out period, but both men put their bodies on the line to give the fans some excitement. The atmosphere only heightened when, firstly, Bobby Roode and, secondly, Lance Hoyt made their way into the ring as chaos ensued. The referee let it go however and that made the difference in the end as Bobby Roode managed to send Hoyt and Kendrick through a ringside table (a move which took Roode out himself as well) and then Young climbed the ladder to retain his Cruiserweight title.
America's Most Wanted Vs MNM ( * * * )
This was billed as the Final Chance match, as in IWF Commissioner Eric Bischoff had decreed that if MNM didn't win the title in this match they would never get another tag team championship shot whilst AMW hold the belts. So the pressure was on, and they came out of the blocks firing and really took the battle to the erstwhile Team Orton members. But, alas, it wasn't to be. America's Most Wanted have been labelled the best regular team going in the business today and they proved it by winning this one when Chris Harris pinned Joey Mercury. MNM looked deflated afterwards, as well they might.
Xavier Vs Abyss (First Blood, * * * 1/4)
This is a feud that has been going ever since Xavier made his IWF return at Neon Blue and this First Blood match promised to be another thriller, even if Xavier was at a distinct disadvantage against the masked Abyss purely because Xavier had more flesh on display to cut. The two went at it with a fury and slowly brought out more and more brutality (and weaponry) in an attempt to make their opponent bleed. In the end though it was Abyss who made the killer blow as he hit Xavier with a barbed-wire covered baseball bat. So he'd won the match; but the onslaught didn't stop there as Abyss continued the carnage until a posse of security men finally managed to drag Abyss away. Xavier was carted off on a stretcher...he didn't look a pretty sight!
10 Women Elimination Match ( * * )
As you might expect with all the less than talented "workers" in here this was pretty much a match of two halves. The first section was pretty painful as women who shouldn't really be in the ring in the first place battled, but once the dead wood was eliminated this at least sped it's way to an exciting conclusion. Order of elimination was as follows;
I) Maria (pinned by Christy Hemme)
II) Riley Mason (pinned by Rebecca Knox)
III) Carina (pinned by Trinity)
IV) Jenny Taylor (pinned by Alexis Laree)
V) Melina (pinned by Krissy Vaine)
VI) Christy Hemme (pinned by Trinity)
VII) Alexis Laree (pinned by Krissy Vaine)
VIII) Krissy Vaine (pinned by Rebecca Knox)
SURVIVORS - Rebecca Knox & Trinity
The Undertaker Vs Edge ( * * 3/4 )
You may wonder why Edge, a man who hasn't had a sniff of top-line material for at least a year, was going up against the veteran Undertaker. Well you might be surprised. It seems as if Edge might be about to fully come out of the purgatory he's been stuck in. Yes, The Undertaker controlled the majority of the match but when push, ahem, came to shove it was Edge who won. Yes, he had to hit Taker with the ring bell, but lets face it, that was always going to be about as clean as you get in this case. Who knows, maybe 2007 will be the year of the Edge. I mean it probably won't, but you never know do you?
Triple H Vs The Big Gee (I Quit, * * 1/2)
So onto the eagerly awaited "feud ender" between these two? Did anyone else watching feel a slight surreal twinge, remembering all those years back when these two were fighting over the World Title to almost no semblance of main event heat at all? Well fear not folks, the action in this may have been average, but there was impressive heat and the entertainment factor was good enough to keep you entertained. The ending did little to save face for the Gee though (yes indeed it was the Geester who uttered the words "I Quit") as he was forced to say the words "I Quit" so that his girlfriend Riley Mason didn't get the living daylights knocked out of her courtesy of one of Triple H's sledgehammer shots. Still, it should get him over with the soap opera loving ladies in the audience I suppose.
Matthew Mercy Vs Sting ( * * 3/4)
They may have strongly inferred in the build up that these two had never met in the IWF before (which is not only complete bollocks by the way, but also unbelievable because surely the previous meetings could have been used to help with the hype for this one) and they may have led the unsuspecting fan to believe that Sting hasn't wrestled since the fall of the PWF (again total bollocks, but you can hardly expect them to publicise the TWA can you?) but whatever the intention was, the crowd was certainly hot for this one. The two men worked a good match too, with Sting in particular proving that he was here to work and not just to pick up a pay cheque to help his church ministry. (Although we really have no idea how he felt following a match where a man threatened to smash a porn-star's face in with a sledgehammer). And I hope you are sat down reading this as you might be in for a shock. After a hard-fought battle, Matthew Mercy laid down for the pinfall (come on, you didn't expect him to submit to the Scorpion Deathlock did you?), 1-2-3. Now that most certainly IS NOT something you see every day.
Satan's Cage Match (* * * * 1/4)
So it was onto the main event of the evening, and the Satan's Cage structure looked a treat. The best way of describing would be some kind of hellish mix of the Hell In A Cell Structure and the Elimination Chamber. All six men loooked somehwat apprehensive as they made their way into the Cage...well all except Randy Orton, who looked his usual cocky self every step of the way. By the end of the evening however he was looking less cocky and was a little lighter around the waist. All six men put forward spirited displays and it seemed like the fans in the arena did indeed believe in the "any man could win" spirit that the booking squad has spent a month trying to instill. Still there could only be one winner in this brutal and bloody match, and it was none other Jay Reso. He actually won it by pinning Randy Orton, albeit after Matt Morgan had hit the Morgasm on Orton. He couldn't get the pinfall himself as Samoa Joe waffled Morgan just after he had hit the move, leaving Reso to take advantage.
A good show to end the year with, which asked as many new questions as it answered old ones. 2007 is looking like it could be quite a year indeed!

William Regal Controversy
Newspaper reports are stating that in the early hours of Thursday morning, IWF Superstar William Regal was involved in an altercation with Bolton Wanderers football star Kevin Nolan in the Icon Nightclub in Bolton.
We have been advised that Mr Regal was at the nightclub at the time in question, but due to the ongoing investigation by Greater Manchester Police he is unwilling to make any further comment at this time.
