Leavine Update, Swagger Grants A Wish, Waltman

– WWE’s Fan Nation YouTube channel fell two spots to #6 in total views on YouTube for the week of July 5th to 11th, according to Deadline.com. The channel had 2,170,570 views. Awesomeness TV passed WWE to move into the #4 spot. That channel airs Jeff Katz’s new Underground Wrestling show.

– WWE.com has an article up about Jack Swagger granting his first “wish” for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Swagger said he was surprised when a 14-year-old requested to meet Swagger. “I know right now there are not a lot of Jack Swagger fans, so I was like, ‘Come on, stop. You’re making me blush.’ And she was like, ‘No, I chose you.’ That was pretty cool, I’ve got to say.” The two met on Monday in Denver.

– Former WWE star Sean “X-Pac” Waltman turns 40 today.

– Andy Leavine is scheduled to debut this weekend for World Wrestling Council in Puerto Rico. He is being billed as the nephew of Dan Spivey (a/k/a Waylon Mercy), though he is actually his cousin. These are his first post-WWE dates after his release a few months ago. WWE released the winner of the last season of Tough Enough earlier this year, reportedly due to his lack of progress in their developmental program.

Former WWE developmental talent Wes Brisco is also scheduled to appear for WWC this weekend.
