Tell your friends about the BEST newsletter around to subscribe today. Enjoy this latest edition of nWN! -Click for the vengeance results: http://www.naidosworld.com/results_ven01.html You may have noticed that I have a link for the Vengeance results above. Let me explain, tomorrow, there likely will NOT be a newsletter. The reason being is that I'm going car shopping for my first ever car and the sales going on now are too good to resist. Sure, they may get even better after January 1st (which I've been waiting for) but I can't resist. I'm understandably anxious to buy my first car so...hopefully you can see where I'm coming from. Whether i find one tomorrow or not is purely up to the salesmen. If they want to sell a car in this dry marketplace, they best be ready to look after my needs (lol). We'll see you Tuesday. After both Vengeance and Raw and other notes to cover, it should be one HELL of a newsletter! You may have noticed that the newsletter now comes with "naidosworld" attached. That's due to Yahoo!'s reconstruction and I have NO IDEA how to change it. If you know, help a brother out! ;) LOVE THE NEWSLETTER? PLEASE TELL A FRIEND TO JOIN!

This magazine issue will be delivered on Sunday, December 9 , 2001...and asks: Q - The World Wrestling Federation isn't the same since Triple H got hurt. Will he return? A - Yes. After extensive surgery for a ruptured quadriceps muscle and months of physical therapy, Hunter Hearst Helmsley (born Paul Levesque) returns tonight in a pay-per-view match on In Demand TV. "It's a challenge to stay so hated," says the 275-pound, 6-foot- 5 champ. "But, at 32, "I'm at the top of my game." The WWF bad guy hopes to make good in Hollywood someday. After all, a lot of wrestling is acting.

However, as always plans can change. *There is still no word if HHH will return tomorrow night or not. The WWF has not made up its mind, and the decision will more than likely be made at the last minute, as HHH will be at the PPV anyway. -As reported on Excess last night, Rikishi will be hosting Vengeance tonight at WWF New York. -Today, is the one and only Kurt Angle's birthday. Will he get a BIGGGGG present today? We'll just have to wait and see until Vengeance. -I watched Triple H on MadTv last night and the man was that damn good. In the roles he played of Triple H Potter and a geeky high school wrestler were good fits for him. If you missed it, hope that it replays because the whole show was strong. -Here's your nondescript Heat Preview for tonight: Be sure to catch Sunday Night HEAT live this Sunday at 7/6 CT on MTV!

With that here's my picks for this weekend: Matt Hardy Vs Jeff Hardy, with Lita as special ref. This was the one match that I thought could go anyway, then they added Lita to the mix, and to me it's a dead give away. My pick here is Lita counts her boyfriend Matt down for the 1-2-3, Matt gets upset by it and turns heel on both Jeff and Lita. PICK: Jeff hardy Rob Van Dam Vs The Undertaker RVD's push has to stop at some point and since there's no Alliance that needs top guys RVD is now a mid-carder. They have plenty of faces right now and Taker needs a heel push. PICK: Undertaker Tag Team Title Match: Dudley Boyz Vs Kane and the Big Show Dudley Boyz are a legit team and Kane and Big Show are well a team I guess. Undertaker's heel turn won't be complete until he feuds with Kane again, so Dudleyz might as well keep the titles. Or will we be faced with Big Show/Kane Vs Angle/Undertaker for the titles on an upcoming RAW? God I hope not. PICK: The Dudley Boyz IC Title Match: Edge Vs William Regal I'm so over for Edge and I hate to pick against him, but Regal kissed Vince's ass on national TV, how can the WWF not put him over? Edge has been hurt a lot too lately but I think it goes back to the ass kissing thing. PICK: William Regal Women's Title: Trish Vs Jackie Who cares? Trish looks good with the belt so let her keep it. PICK: Trish Main Event Unified World and WWF Titles Angle VS Austin Rock Vs Jericho In a shocking upset Y2J defeats the Rock while Austin defeats Kurt Angle then with the return of Triple H, Chris Jericho is the first unified champion. Wait; let me wake up from my dream. I don't think Jericho has a chance in the main event. I think we all know what's going to happen, it's going to be Rock Vs Austin one more time. This time I think its Rocky's turn to get the big one over Austin. PICK: The Rock is the first Unified Champion ===================================================================== Remember...========================================================== -Remember that if you've missed any TV Shows, PPV's or more?
