Mick Foley is being advertised on the 11/14 Raw show in Boston, a three-hour show which will also be the next appearance of The Rock, as the go-home show for Survivor Series.
The build for Survivor Seres and the return of Rock will start on this Monday's Raw.

I know, thing is I come in here to discuss wrestling, I no longer visit wrestling sites. Problem is even if it was spoilered I would still read it anyway because I wouldn't be able to resist.

What I don't understand in this circumstance is why WWE need to announce foley. Surely that won't get any extra ticket sales considering that rock has already been announced. Plus on the ratings side if they stopped announcing things and had more surprises then maybe more people would it exciting and tune in.

It's a bit counter-productive though considering many people also TVIO/DR Raw episodes as well as watching live. What if you didn't record an episode or watch yet you are a huge Foley/Rock fan and wished to see them together? You didn't know and then they appeared on Raw, you'd be pissed that WWE didn't tell you. It's also for live gates for the show and in the area, remember people will now think that there is a chance that Rock or Foley will appear on the house shows (kids and fans not smarks/marks/internet fans)
