ECW Rating Is In, Mick Foley's TNA Debut & WWE Feelings, TNA Creative

Newsday has an interview up with Mick Foley. Highlights are below: On jeopardizing his chances of getting into the WWE Hall of Fame: "I've had the advantage of having a lot of closure to my career. I had the book that kind of summed up all my experiences. And I'm recognized and seemingly appreciated on a daily basis by fans. So I'm not in need of healing, which is what the entry to the Hall of Fame seems to be for a lot of guys. So, although I would be flattered to one day be asked, in no way am I looking at inclusion in the WWE Hall of Fame as necessary to complete my career." On TNA's booking: "If you were traveling around the country, you probably wouldn't have fans quite as interested in the backstage happenings. So you would be a lot less likely to hear, "Fire Russo" chants. I was always a supporter of Russo's. I even have that in writing in WWE books. And I think that now we have a cast of guys who could really make things happen. And I think that you will see a better focus on creative? You know, I think [Vince Russo] is a great idea guy. The challenge of coming up with something new every week is probably not fully appreciated by many people." On debuting in TNA: "?I look at it like, man, there are so many possibilities. There are so many prospective opponents. And I can honestly say that this is the most fun I've had as part of a wrestling show since probably 2000 when I was the commissioner. And it's the first time in quite a while where I feel like what I do or say is making a difference, or, I guess more accurately, that what I do or say will be given the chance to make a difference."

Last night's edition of ECW on Sci-Fi scored a 1.3 cable rating, up from last week's 1.1 cable rating.
