Welcome back to the week in review for February 7th., 2009. The big rumor of the week is that AAA's Sean "Xpac" Waltman has a return date scheduled for the NWA Showcase. Waltman was a regular attraction for the NWA before joining Mexico's AAA. Waltman's rivalry with "Scrap Iron" Adam Pearce even earned him the NWA Heritage Championship.
