– The viewership for last night’s RAW should be very interesting when it comes out later today as last night’s US Presidential debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton drew a 46.2 overnight rating with a 63 share, up 17% from the Mitt Romney – Barack Obama debate in 2012. In comparison, Super Bowl 50 had a 46.6 rating with a 72 share and drew 111 million viewers.

– The WWE Clash of Champions PPV ranked #1 in Nielsen’s social media ratings on Sunday. The event had 183,000 Twitter interactions with 32,000 unique authors, down from the 282,000 Twitter interactions and 44,000 unique authors that Backlash drew. The Clash also had 251,000 Facebook interactions with 151,000 unique authors, down from the 278,000 interactions with 144,000 unique authors that Backlash drew.

– WWE RAW General Manager Mick Foley announced on Tuesday that he’s working on a new book about his life outside WWE. He wrote on Facebook:

“I have been working on a new memoir about my experiences in the red suit as one of Santa’s ambassadors. It’s been a fun and rewarding project, being written only in places where Christmas spirit lives all year round. So, unlike past books, I’m not writing on airplanes, locker rooms, hotels or emergency rooms. Just places like Jefferson, New Hampshire’s “Santa’s Village”, where I did some writing in Santa’s house in the original 1953 rocking chairs from the park’s opening. This past week, I made it to Indianapolis for #ClashOfChampions by way of #SantaClaus Indiana, where I wrote from #SantasCandyCastle the 1935 landmark believed to be America’s oldest themed attraction, and from the very spot where Santa Claus first greeted guests at #HolidayWorld originally known as #SantaClausLand when the park opened 70 years ago.

I am not under the impression that this is going to be a big seller by any means – so it’s something I’m doing just for fun, because it is important to me. It’s not going to be controversial. I won’t be slinging any dirt or making anybody look bad . But there will be a surprising amount of wrestling in this book – as everything I have learned in life revolves around sports entertainment.

Who’s going to be adding this book to their Christmas wish list in 2017.”
