Possible reason WWF dropped "Bodies", Smackdown Your Vote, and more
    Submitted by William Martinez on Thursday, September 20, 2001 at 9:36 PM EST

    - Many of you may have noticed that on Monday's Raw, Stephanie McMahon did not come out to the song "Bodies" by Drowning Pool, her usual entrance music. Instead, she came out to her old theme music, which was the same music Triple H had. According to an article in today's USA Today, Clear Channel Communications, a company which owns several radio stations across the United States, compiled a list of songs they felt should be pulled due to controversial lyrics which may offend people because of last week's tragedy. "Bodies" was one of the songs on that list. That may be the reason Stephanie is no longer using the music.

    - Bill Goldberg is auctioning off a pair of wrestling boots and a glove worn by Goldberg himself at WCW Sin 2001. All proceeds from the auctions will be donated to the American Red Cross disaster relief fund. Here are the links:

    - Hacksaw Jim Duggan is also auctioning off an autographed photo of himself standing in front of an American flag. Again, all proceeds will go to the American Red Cross.

    World Wrestling Federation Entertainment News Advisory

    STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 20, 2001--On Monday, Sept. 24, 2001, the Smackdown Your Vote! campaign to register young voters will be in Columbus, featuring World Wrestling Federation Entertainment (WWFE) Superstar Kurt Angle.

    In conjunction with the release of his new autobiography ``It's True! It's True!,'' Angle will use Columbus as the kick-off to a 11-stop national Smackdown Your Vote! tour to promote participation of youth in democracy.

    There will be a college rally with the WWFE Superstar at noon at the South Oval of the Ohio State University campus (corner of 12th Ave. and College Ave.). The event is open to the public, and voter registration forms will be available for anyone over the age of 18.

    Smackdown Your Vote! is a coalition of nonpartisan organizations created a year ago to encourage young people to register and then vote.

    The partnership registered more than 150,000 voters during the 2000 presidential campaign and renewed the effort this year, with rallies at high schools and colleges, and registration tables at virtually every WWFE live event through November. The Smackdown Your Vote! campaign will have visited 28 states and the District of Columbia by the end of November. Tables will also be set up Monday night at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus for registration before the WWFE show, which begins at 7:45 p.m.

    Smackdown Your Vote! is a nonpartisan initiative of the National Foundation for Women Legislators, the Youth Vote Coalition, Youth-e-Vote, Project Vote Smart and WWFE.
