Enjoy this latest edition of nWN! -Click for the Raw Is War results: http://www.naidosworld.com/tvraw.html -As usual, I opened my mouth and was bitten in the ass. I probably made the camera for a millisecond last night since the seats were re- aligned to start my night out perfectly. Oh well. And what a show it was. My God. How Awful. If SmackDown! is a good show tonight (which I'm not going to), I KNOW I picked the wrong show. I was basically watching TV the whole night like the rest of the world. At least Lance and Edge took teh time out to have a great match and FINALLY, Christian turned heel! FINALLY! My girlfriend had a helluva time though. Not only was The Rock there to show his buldging biceps to her, her second love Vince Carter was in the audience as well. Those two things were all she talked about all night. Oh well. C'est La Vie.

Preview On Tuesday night, SmackDown! will be as LIVE as LIVE can be from the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada! After the shocking developments on Monday's episode of RAW IS WAR, SmackDown! -- at 8/7 CT, LIVE on UPN -- looks to be an explosive broadcast!

In an emotional moment, Christian turned on his brother Edge on RAW, viciously assaulting his own flesh and blood with a steel chair. SmackDown! will again emanate from the brothers' hometown of Toronto, although this is one homecoming that is tearing a family apart. Also, Steven Richards has challenged the Undertaker to a match on SmackDown! Will the American Badass accept? Find out on UPN! It all goes down Tuesday night at 8/7 CT on UPN -- a special one-time- only LIVE episode of SmackDown! Check your local listings for time and channel! Don't miss it!

You can read that by clicking http://www.wwf.com/news/headlines/1078346 -There's also a write-up done with thoughts from Toronto fans on what they think about the big announcment. You can read that by clicking http://www.wwf.com/news/headlines/1078372 -Off-air Raw happenings: Dark matches: *Albert d. Mike Awesome *Hugh Morrus d. Slade(?) Jakked/Metal tapings: *Billy Gunn d. Justin Credible *X-Pac d. Chavo Guererro Jr *Tommy Dreamer and Raven (with Terri) d. Kaientai *Scotty 2 Hottie d. Chuck Palumbo When Raw went off the air: Booker and Shane came out and talked trash about Toronto and Canadians in general to generate some cheap heat. The Bookerman then started to talk trash about the Rock which of course brought out the people's champion. Rock came and and said that even though the fans were chanting for Christian to "kick the Rock's ass" he could understand that because he's from Toronto. However, for booker to slam us, it's not right. So he went to the ring to defend our honor. Shane and Book got the upper hand on the Rock so the APA, just as they did on Raw, helped Rock out. Bradshaw laid out Shane with a clothesline from hell. Afterward, Rock did hid elbow on Book, posed for pics and made his wayo ut with a fans sign that read "Canada Rocks" -The current edition of the LP News Online (the newspaper of the Libertarian Party) has an article by LP Communications Director Bill Winter on WWF Superstar Val Venis. The article is very in-depth, and tells things like how Venis got his hip surgery done in the U.S. because he hates Canada's health care, how Venis (referred to often by his real name of Sean Morley) got his political ideas, how he got started in wrestling, the progression of his character in the WWF, as well as his views on many of the issues of today. If you want to read the article, go to http://www.lp.org/lpnews/0109/venis.html -Dave Scherer reports that the WWF may be doing a new show for the WB in the fall. The show will have matches and in-studio commentary. "Spots 'n' Dots" reports that the show will air Saturdays at 8PM Eastern. -IC champion and 2001 KOTR Edge was hearing phones ring in his head for a while after Christian's chair shot last night but is okay. His leg is okay as well. -Expect ratings for Raw last night to be delayed due to the Labor day weekend in North America Source// naidO, Dave Scherer, Dave Meltzer ====================================================================== News from WCW-ECW//=================================================== -Two imposing figures that were at the the "Wrestlemania anncouncement press conference" yesterday was Bryan Clark and Brian Adams. Scherer says that it's more than likely that we'll see Kronik (or whatever they'll be called) debut tonight on Smackdown. Why you may ask? Because Vince McMahon likes big men. Always has, and always will. Source// Dave Meltzer, Dave Scherer ====================================================================== News from the rest of pro-wrestling//================================= -Dave Scherer talked to Francine recently and she confirmed that she is NOT in talks with the WWF. She doesn't know where those rumors got started (but I'm sure she hopes they continue).
