There’s also this video (wwe.com/content/media/video/vms/afterthebell/2007/december8-14/6038322) from after Raw of Foley sticking Socko in the mouth of one Santino Marella while his son Huey watches.

There is a new interview with Hulk Hogan in People Magazine. “I had some crazy days, and some things that caught me off guard. I’m riding the highs, surviving the lows, and leaning into the wind. It’s all an attitude thing to me. Being positive and knowing that things are going to get better,” Hogan commented. The Hulkster went on to say that the most important thing to him right now was to help his son Nick who is up against criminal charges in the wake of the August car accident that left his friend John Graziano incapacitated.
