Tell your friends about the BEST newsletter around to subscribe today. Enjoy this latest edition of nWN! -Raw tomorrow should be decent as WCW is back "home" in Atlanta where fans may be more recetive to the invasion rather than un-receptive as those from Tacoma. I'm sure Tacoma was like that during WCW angles because they don't get to see the WWF as often as maybe a New York or Atlanta. We'll see how it goes. LOVE THE NEWSLETTER?

In the interview, he was asked who he would like to get in the ring with and he said Arn Anderson because "he's old school, a hard-nosed wrestler. That's why I'd like to get in the ring with him. He was my favorite wrestler. He'd probably win, and I'd last about five minutes." -Chris Daniels has a new commentary up on his web page where he talks about working Calgary with Lance Storm, working Florida with Scoot Andrews, and the upcoming return of The Spicy One!!! Visit his commentary located at www.christopherdaniels.com. -Mediaweek.com has released a comparison of primetime cable ratings for June 2001 vs. June 2000. Overall primetime cable ratings remained the same. However, the biggest gainers in this period were BET (up 75%) followed by FX and "wrestling fueled" TNN (both up 50%). The article also noted that MTV (featuring WWF Heat and Tough Enough) was the biggest loser with ratings down in primetime 27%. Other networks noted: USA (down 14%), TBS (down 15%), and TNT (up 6%). -Ten of the top 20 "Recreational Sports" videos in the Billboard sales rankings last week were WWF videos, topped by WWF WrestleMania X-Seven at no. 2.
