The Scoop

Posted: Nov 22nd 2011 By: mikeiles

NEWS
The Beth Phoenix vs. Eve Torres match at "Survivor Series" was turned into a Lumberjill Match to get payoffs for all the women.

The Boston Herald noted more than 30 WWE people dined at The Kowloon restaurant on November 14th, including John Cena, R-Truth, The Miz, CM Punk, Jack Swagger, Primo, and Alberto Del Rio. Cena actually mentioned the place by name during "RAW", which has been a regular haunt for wrestler?s for many years. There was a story a couple of years ago about The Iron Sheik going there and attempting to pay his bar tab with signed 8?10 photographs.

There are some other interesting job listings within WWE right now. They want a Note Taker to sit in on production meetings. The listing reads: "This position will allow you to play a critical role ensuring that ideas go from concepts to paper to ensure that WWE programs remain interesting and compelling." So the job is either to fetch coffee or assist the assistants who assist the first-tier writers who report to Michael Hayes and Brian Gerwitz who report to Stephanie McMahon who reports to Vince McMahon. They also want an Senior Vice President of Television Production to work under Kevin Dunn?basically to be his new #1. They are also looking for someone to coordinate the Talent Wellness Program which includes managing medical records of all past and present talent, liaise with talent relations and WWE?s legal department on Wellness and injury-related issues, track and arrange drug/blood/impact/cardio/ testing for all talent, and manage the pre-contract medical screening of incoming talent.

Sgt. Slaughter was the Grand Marshal for this past Saturday?s NASCAR Nationwide Series Championship Race, Ford 300, in Homestead, FL.

WWE ?12 received two more additions to its roster ? two definite future Hall of Famers with the names of Mick Foley and the late Macho Man Randy Savage. This is Macho Man?s second inclusion in a WWE game since he made up with WWE so to speak, with the first game being WWE All Stars. Both Foley and Savage will be playable characters in the video game which now has a roster of 70 and seven more to be announced.

The hardcore legend himself, Mick Foley, made his first WWE television appearance last Monday on RAW since the August 1, 2008 edition of "SmackDown". Foley was initially advertised for the three hour RAW from Boston however he was dropped from all local advertising last month. He made a surprise appearance during the United Kingdom live event tours last week, refereeing the main events of select shows that didn't conflict with his comedy tour. Foley was unfortunately part of a horrible segment with John Cena, trying to replicate "This Is Your Life," a segment originally created with The Rock back in 1999 and which to this day is the highest rated wrestling segment on cable television with an 8.4 rating. For his welcome back, Foley received a Rock Bottom from his friend The Rock to end the segment.

Zack Ryder and John Morrison attended Mick Foley's comedy show after "Survivor Series" on Sunday.

Mick Foley announced dates for a February 2012 comedy tour of the United Kingdom in London, Birmingham, Sheffield, and Liverpool in England, Belfast and Dublin in Ireland, and Cardiff in Wales. More information can be found at [http://www.mickfoleystandup.co.uk]MickFoleyStandup.co.uk[/url].

Mick Foley, is doing a Hardcore Comedy Tour with Rob Mailloux and Dylan Gott. Shows are all $20 in advance and $25 at the door. He's playing November 30th in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada at The Groove Lounge, December 1st in Windsor, Ontario, Canada at Leo's Komedy Korner, December 2nd in Toronto, Ontario, Canada at the Underground Cinema, December 3rd in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada at Starlight, and December 4th in Buffalo, NY at the Wasteland Game Room.

Mick Foley will be appearing on an upcoming episode of NBC?s ?30 Rock? TV show after he revealed that he filmed scenes for it last week in New York. Foley will be reprising his old WWE gimmick of Mankind for the episode which also involves his first ever kissing scene. The hardcore legend is the first wrestler star to appear on the popular NBC show starring Alec Baldwin, Tina Fey and Tracy Morgan. Judah Friedlander, another cast member from the show, was at "Survivor Series" on Sunday. Foley was also present but never appeared on camera.
