    Submitted by William Martinez on Sunday, September 16, 2001 at 8:05 PM EST

    - Linda McMahon recently made a radio appearance on KSPN 1110 in Southern California. Here are a few newsworthy notes from the appearance:

    > For the decision to air Smackdown, WWF officials not only went to Houston officials but fans as well and they all agreed that the show should go on.

    > The WWF was a little surprised that the arena was so full, despite the event being a sell out.

    > A waitress at WWF New York also worked as an intern at the World Trade Center and, as of Friday, she hadn't been heard from yet.

    > The WWF is sending 180,000 pounds of clothing to New York for rescue workers and others who may need them.

    > The opening of Smackdown was only shown to WWF employees in Stamford, Connecticut on Friday due to the fact that news coverage pre-empted the show in the area. They all said the pledge of alliegance following the viewing.

    - The reason Smackdown was not shown last night's during Excess' timeslot was because UPN did not want TNN to air the show.

    The live edition of Smackdown that was pre-empted by news coverage on Thursday in Boston was shown in it's entirety last night (Saturday) from 11 pm to 1 am on UPN 38.

    I just called KMSP channel 9 in Minnesota and they said that they are not planning to re-air Smackdown. That's all the info that I got because I'm guessing they are swamped because of the Terrorist attacks.
