Mick Foley (@realmickfoley) is on a mission in April to help raise money and awareness for RAINN (The Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network – the nation’s largest anti-sexual violence organization).  Mick has launched the #10forRAINN campaign to get to his goal of $30,000 for the month.   Donations can be as small as $10 and Mick is willing to do a something special for higher donations.

Alex Greenfield and I spoke with Mick to talk with us about his #10forRAINN campaign on the upcoming I Want Wrestling podcast debuting on Monday.  We cover a variety of subjects including why he decided to donate his time to this cause, the retirement of Edge, the return of the Rock, and what stars he sees making an impact in the future.

Listen to the entire podcast (audio only) here.

IWantWrestling.com has released two new podcasts this week. 

Formerly Creative with Alex Greenfield
http://iwantwrestling.com/2011/04/13/new-formerly-creative-podcast-alex-greenfield/

Alex Greenfield (@alexdgreenfield) was on the WWE creative team in 2005-2006 including a run as the lead writer of WWE Smackdown.  He joins David Lagana to talk the creative process, what being married is like on the team, and the breaking point that caused him to walk away.  If you loved the Boogeyman, Jillian’s mole, and ever wanted to know how the creative time passed the time, this is the episode for you.

Promote This with Chikara Founder Mike Quackenbush

On the heels of one of the biggest weekends of the year for Chikara – King of Trios. I had a great conversation with Mike Quackenbush.  We talk about the origins of the Chikara product, tv shows we grew up with, position of the company in the market place and so much more.  If you’ve never checked out their product or are a fan, there is something in this podcast for everyone

EVOLVE wrestling has tried something new with a viral storyline involving Jimmy Jacobs and Shiima Xion. This all leads to the Jacobs vs. Xion match at "EVOLVE 7: Aries vs. Moxley" this Tuesday, April 19th, at BB King Blues Club & Grill in Times Square, Manhattan, NY. Be there in person by getting tickets at www.EVOLVEwrestling.com, 267-519-9744 or at the door on the night of the event. Watch it live on www.WWNLive.com on iPPV starting at 8pm EST.
 
Here's a look at this viral storyline:
 
It all started with this "after show party" video that featured veteran Jimmy Jacobs talking smack on WWE superstar CM Punk. Jacobs' struggle to stay on the right path after overcoming drug addiction has been well documented. However, this is not one of Jacobs' better moments in life: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgJAYjenEC4
 
This led to Jacobs showing maturity by issuing this apology to CM Punk and showing disdain for whoever posted the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFlUByGMsgY
 
The charismatic and brash Shiima Xion then claimed responsibility for the initial video and explained why he did this to Jacobs. Get to know the name Shiima Xion. He has all the makings of a future star and has already gained the attention of National Geographic channel, which is featuring Xion on an upcoming NatGeo documentary. Watch his promo here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QX9RQZ9xqA
 
Finally, Jacobs released this video over the weekend with his reaction to Xion: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBW6znhma8w
 
Please take a few moments and watch these videos. EVOLVE is trying to prove that you don't need a weekly TV show to provide rich storylines and compelling, deep characters. Thank you.
