Benoit and Austin injury updates, Booker T, Scott Hudson, and more
    Submitted by Mr. Tito on Saturday, June 30, 2001 at 1:44 PM EST

    Chris Benoit is said to be feeling much better since his surgery Thursday. Doctors reportedly told Benoit that he'll be a full 100% in health when he returns, which should be around January or February.

    This morning, tickets for the Toronto RAW is WAR show on November 3rd sold out very quickly, despite the possibility of the show becoming a WCW program. The tickets sales did have some fights break out while many were waiting in line.

    Right now, Steve Austin's back is really bothering him, much more than the injured hand suffered at King of the Ring by Booker T. Some reports mentioned that Austin would indeed wrestle RAW and Smackdown this week, with the RAW match possibly going to be a match against Tazz. At least for RAW, it's apparent that Austin won't be wrestling on that show due to his injuries.

    Tom Prichard, a WWF road agent, part time booker, among other duties, will be taking some personal time off from the WWF. Some rumors hinted that the WWF let him go, but that's not the case.

    Booker T briefly won the UWF World Title last night. Booker apparently scheduled this show before his WWF appearances, and he was said to have given the smaller crowd a great performance. He beat Don Diamond for the UWF title, and after the match, Booker T handed the title over to a wrestler named Rush.

    William Martinez, earlier this week, reported that Scott Hudson would be meeting with WWF officials sometime in the near future. Rumor has it that Hudson met with WWF officials yesterday about a possible role in WCW.
