Mick Foley's Weekly Online Blog

Posted: Nov 10th 2010 By: mikeiles

After spending most of the day working on my "Eliminate the Hate" piece, I have decided not to print it just yet. As I worked on it, I got the feeling that it might really be able to draw some attention to TNA's involvement in this great cause, and I am going to see if the article might be able to get posted in a place where the most people possible can read it - especially people who are not in the habit of watching Impact. I really believe in the power of this campaign to make a difference in the lives of people, especially those most vulnerable to the crisis of bullying. But to really make the biggest difference, we need to engage the outside world, and make as many people possible realize that everyone can play a role in this campaign. TNA is going to play a big part in this campaign, but I would like as many people as possible aboard this train when it pulls out of port.

Please check out the video I did with Derek and Romaine, of Sirius Radio which will be available on Monday, November 15th at www.standingtough.com

Here is my upcoming schedule, representing the last of the Countdown book tour. Thanks to everyone who has joined us on the tour or read the book. This hasn't been the commercial success that a few of my others have been, but fans are really enjoying the book, it's gotten some great reviews, and the writing and promotion of this book have taken me on an amazing journey, which has allowed me to take part in some really positive developments.

November 10 - The Daily Show. 11pm Comedy Central. Yes, this is huge! I love the daily Show, and unless I completely blow it, this interview with Jon Stewart should be a blast.

November 11- London, England. Booksigning at Waterstone's Piccadilly, 5pm. See for yourself what a man looks like when he jumps on a plane right after the Daily Show, lands without sleeping and does several hours of publicity before going to the bookstore.

November 12- Manchester, England. Booksigning at Waterstone's Trafford Center. 4:30 pm

Many fans have asked about the possibility of posing for photos and signing items other than the book. I will do my very best to pose for photos, and will sign one additional item, for each copy of Lockdown purchased. Photos will depend on the size of the crowd, but I will do my very best.

The Convention in Ireland has been postponed, due in part to many of the wrestlers being needed back in the US for Monday TV tapings, both Impact and Raw. I was all set to appear on both Saturday and Sunday, though I would have only been there for four hours on Sunday. As a result, I am paying my own way to the UK and back for the booksignings, which are not paid appearances. Just thought you should know. But I always do my very best to make every event I'm booked on.

November 12 - Sirius Radio, Channel 10, E. Street Radio. Yes, my turn as guest DJ will air at 8pm Friday, then midnight and 8am the following day. I think I comprised a cool, eclectic list, and think Bruce fans will enjoy the themes I cover during my shift. Obviously, this taped show will not be a conflict with the UK signings.

November 15+16 - Orlando, Florida. Impact. I'm not sure whether I will be there, but anyone who has been to the Impact Zone knows what a good time is had by all.

November 18 - Washington, DC - RAINN fundraiser/celebration. Actress KaDee Strickland (she has just done an amazing job as the survivor of rape on ABC's "Private Practice") will be the guest of honor and I think I'm going to say an few words too. Tickets start at only $50 - go to www.rainn.org for more information...or to volunteer, donate or find help.

That's all for now. Let's all be reasonable to each other.
