- Rock's book is set to debut at no. 2 on the New York Times Best Seller list.
- The Jan. 7 ECW on TNN drew a 1.2 rating, with quarter hours of 1.1, 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3.
- The Raw/Nitro overnight preliminary ratings (which are generally higher than the final ratings, but give a perspective on the shows did in relation to each other) came in with Raw at 6.8 (6.5 first hour, 6.7 second hour) and Nitro at 3.5 (3.9 first hour, 3.1 second hour). Last week Raw drew a 6.4 compared to Nitro's 3.3 in the final ratings. The ratings should be up this week across the board with Monday Night Football's season ending last week.
- Nitro in Buffalo, N.Y. drew 5,338 paid (8,990 total) for $110,549.
- Raw in St. Louis, Mo. drew 13,923 sellout for $371,016 (merchandising $96,431, $7 per cap). After Raw went off the air, Mick Foley told the crowd that Cactus Jack is back, confirming that the angle on Raw last night set the stage for the most hardcore persona of Foley taking on Triple H at the Royal Rumble.
- Ken Shamrock has asked the WWF for a leave of absence so he can return to UFC. The WWF granted Shamrock his wish, so unless Shamrock changes his mind, he won't be back in the WWF until late this year or early next year. Also, the latest word is that Undertaker is scheduled to return to the WWF at the Royal Rumble and Tazz is slated to debut the day after the Rumble.
