The Foley Files - January 14, 2010

Posted: Jan 15th 2010 By: mikeiles

Hello everyone, and welcome to another addition of "The Foley Files", where I either try to come up with interesting perspectives on what has transpired over the last week, raise awareness about certain issues that are important to me, or, occasionally, just fill a little time, because I have a deadline, and nothing much to say. Unfortunately, this particular blog is one of the latter.

But I certainly want to point out what a great time I had at the Westbury show last week. The building was at near capacity, the fans were excited, and most importantly, that Don West smells absolutely tremendous! I really plan on asking Don about his personal grooming habits, because, brother, from cologne, to breath, to the overall essence of his persona, Don West is one fine smelling man. I will actually be seeing Don tomorrow (in the interest of full disclosure, I am writing this right before I head out the door to Johnstown, and it will be posted in two days) and honestly can't wait to smell the guy again. Also, moving on from Don West, the Foley family had one heck of a birthday party for Mick Jr., with the 2,500 in attendance serenading the little guy in a stirring TNA rendition of "Happy Birthday". From now on, I think all of you should think of TNA as the new Chuck E Cheese. Speaking of Mick Jr and Chuck E Cheese, did you know the little guy dropped a deuce ( a number two, a log, a stool, a piece of poop) in one of the tunnels when he was a much younger child? And you thought people ran in terror from that Baby Ruth bar in the pool in "Caddyshack"?

It certainly should be an exciting week for TNA fans at the Impact Zone, as we will have three days of "Impact" tapings following a PPV. This should give us a pretty good indication where a lot of people stand (including me) in the new regime. Definitely exciting, but a little bit worrisome too.

Man, I was really shaken up to hear about the devastation in Haiti. I have met so many wrestling fans who come from Haiti, always so nice and polite, and now their homeland has suffered such a tremendous blow from that terrible earthquake. I did hear about a very easy way to help, though. Apparently, people can just text the word "Haiti" on their cell phones, and when directed, enter the code 90999. A $10 dollar donation to the relief effort will be made immediately, and added to your monthly phone bill. I know things are really tough all over, but this situation in Haiti is about as bad as anything I've ever seen, and I hope that a few of you will try to make a difference.

I'll catch up with you next week on another addition of "The Foley Files". If you will excuse me, I have almost 400 miles to drive.

1/14/10 - Johnstown, Pa. I have just been informed that TNA's very own Awesome Kong will be holding a benefit to raise money for the Haiti earthquake victims. The benefit begins at 10pm at The Midtown Tavern in Harrisburg, Pa. 1101 N 2nd St Harrisburg, Pa. Pedges can be through paypal through the e-mail Wrestlers4Haiti@gmail.comThis e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it and will be forwarded directly to the Red Cross. The fund-raiser can be seen live on Kong's Twitter account. I will be matching all donations up to $2500 (a total of $2500 for me) and one of the British Invasion will take a pie to the face live on Twitter when we reach $500. I am so proud of Kong for organizing this event - I hope some of you can participate.
