Early SmackDown rating & trademark for ECW's Kurt Angle Submitted by Stu Starrs on Sunday, June 25, 2006 at 9:58 AM EST
Given SmackDown was pre-empted in numerous areas on Friday Night, the 2.6 fast national rating, with a 5 share is not likely to be the final number - that will be released sometime next week.
The term "The Wrestling Machine" is the newest trademark that World Wrestling Entertainment applied for on 6/12. The trademark would be used to promote the new ECW Kurt Angle.
