Mankind aka Cactus Jack aka Mick Foley joins up

Former champion and best selling author Mick Foley is teaming up with
WWE to travel to the Middle East for the upcoming Smackdown! tour in
Iraq. Foley, along with Vince McMahon, 18 WWE Superstars and crew will
be traveling to the war-driven country on December 14th for a five day
tour which will lead up to a special Christmas edition of Smackdown!
tapings for the troops. During those five days everyone will travel with
the troops and make appearances at several bases delivering care
packages. Last year's visit to Iraq was a very successful trip for the
company and the Smackdown! tapings with the thousands of troops,
military vehicles and snipers in the background was quite a sight to
see!

Also heard that Todd Grisham, the former sports anchor with KOLD-TV and now on-air personality with the WWE, is getting married. Todd was a local favorite, and his hilarious teaming with Scott Kilbury for Friday night high school football coverage won't soon be forgotten.
