Update on Booker T, Angle injury update, More on WCW Raw, and more
    Submitted by William Martinez on Monday, June 25, 2001 at 2:40 PM EST

    - As of right now, there are conflicting reports as to whether Booker T got heat from WWF officials for injuring Steve Austin at the King of the Ring.

    - In addition to suffering a possible broken tailbone, Kurt Angle also took a shot to the head in his King of the Ring semifinal match against Christian. Several wrestlers backstage were amazed that Angle continued the two matches he had left. It is unknown whether Angle suffered a concussion.

    - WWF officials feel that there is work that has to be done with Diamond Dallas Page to make his work with the Undertaker work better. Officials also feel that Page's mic work and move selling is a bit outdated.

    - Despite what you may have heard, Scott Steiner was not backstage at the King of the Ring last night.

    - Should the WWF give Raw's current timeslot to WCW, Raw would be on Thursdays meaning Smackdown would be taken off the WWF programming schedule.

    ADVISORY/World Wrestling Federation Entertainment News Advisory

    NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 25, 2001--On Tuesday, June 26, 2001, the Smackdown Your Vote! Coalition will announce plans to step up its youth voter registration efforts in New York City and at World Wrestling Federation live events through November.

    Linda E. McMahon, CEO of World Wrestling Federation Entertainment, is issuing an open invitation to New York City political candidates to attend a Smackdown Your Vote! rally Tuesday at noon at WWF New York in Times Square. She'll be joined by WWF Superstars Kurt Angle, Ivory and Albert; and Naomi Bernstein, director of public affairs for the New York City Board of Elections.

    The event is also open to the press and public. Voter registration will be conducted immediately following this event, and on Monday and Tuesday nights (June 25 & 26) prior to WWF shows at Madison Square Garden.

    Smackdown Your Vote! is a nonpartisan initiative of the National Association of Secretaries of State, the National Foundation for Women Legislators, the Youth Vote Coalition, Youth-e-Vote, Project Vote Smart and WWFE. More than 150,000 young voters were registered in a little more than two months during the 2000 presidential campaign, as a result of this initiative. Since renewing the campaign last month, several hundred high school students have also been registered.
