**Mick Foley appeared on ‘The
Daily Show’ in a skit involving a story about an elementary school student who
will not recite the Pledge of Allegiance at his school until there are equal
rights for gays and lesbians. Foley came out and was introduced as ‘Senior
Asskicker’ and cut a promo on anyone that attempts to bully the kid in
question.

**There are no house shows
this weekend for WWE, TNA or Ring of Honor, they only major show from any of
the promotions is the ‘Survivor Series’ on Sunday night in Washington, D.C.

**Here is the full lineup
for the ‘Survivor Series’ on Sunday night:
*John Cena Vs Triple H Vs
Shawn Michaels for the WWE Title
*The Undertaker Vs Chris
Jericho Vs Big Show for the World Title

**Dwayne Johnson has been
promoting ‘Planet 51′ this week and when asked about the WWE he has stated that
he plans to be hosting ‘Raw’ on a yet to be determined date in January and says
he is hopeful of doing more than just hosting the show (if he is somehow
teasing that he’ll work a match, they would be crazy to do that on free TV,
unless of course his schedule only allows it to be a TV match, but
realistically if January is wide open to host the show, you would imagine he
could do the ‘Royal Rumble’). The ideal scenario would be to shoot a huge angle
on TV and set something up for WrestleMania but I really doubt Johnson is
planning to do anything more than a one shot on the night of ‘Raw’. Two factors
to consider with Johnson is that UFC is running a ‘Ultimate Fight Night’ head
to head on January 11^th and there is the chance TNA will announce
going live on Monday January 4^th with Hulk Hogan, which if that was
the case I would assume WWE would tackle the TNA competition rather than a
standard Fight Night, which isn’t going to challenger ‘Raw’ in terms of viewers
based on the lineup for that show.

**Hulk Hogan proposed to
his girlfriend Jennifer McDonald prior to leaving for Australia for
the tour.

**The Hulkamania tour
kicks off early Saturday in Melbourne,
Australia
featuring the first match with Ric Flair since March 30^th 2008. The

**TNA officials contacted
the Pro Wrestling Guerilla this week and alerted them that Chris Sabin will be
unable to work the Battle of Los Angeles shows this weekend after aggravating his
neck injury this past week at the TV tapings and will be taking a few weeks off
and possibly longer. Sabin originally injured his neck last month during a spot
with Brother Ray at the ‘Impact’ tapings after taking a uranage and landing
badly, which aired on TV a few weeks back.
