Foley Is Good: And The Real World Is Faker Than Wrestling

By Dan Slott, Christopher Yost, Chris Yost

Book Overview

Chapter One He's Back. And you won't believe what he has to say this time. Some people might think that World Wrestling Federation Superstar Mick Foley said his piece in his 532-page, number one New York Times bestselling literary opus Have a Nice Day! Well, some people would be wrong. Very wrong. Because Mick Foley is back with a vengeance. Foley Is Good picks up right where the last book left off, as once again readers are given a bird's-eye view of the behind-the-scenes action in the World Wrestling Federation. With the same total honesty and riotous humor displayed in his last book, Mick shines a spotlight into some of the hidden corners of the World Wrestling Federation. From the ongoing controversy surrounding "backyard wrestling" to the real story behind his now-infamous I Quit" match with The Rock, Foley covers all the bases in this hysterically funny roller-coaster ride of a memoir. Some know him as Cactus Jack, others as Dude Love. We loved him as Mankind, and he was the best Commissioner the World Wrestling Federation ever had. But if you want to know the real Mick Foley, if you want to get inside the head of one of sportsentertainment's biggest Superstars, then there's no substitute for Foley Is Good. Readers and fans everywhere need their recommended daily allowance of pure, unadulterated Mick. And it's all right here for the taking.

Trully Insightful

I will admit to being a Foley fan since the very first time I actually sat and watched a wrestling show. There is something about Mick Foley that I just can not explain. When his first book, "Have A Nice Day", was published we bought it immediately and both my husband and I read it, fighting for control over it, as we both didn't want to put it down. I really enjoyed getting the inside view of wrestling and of the life of...

This Book Is More Than Good

Even Triple H would say that this book can "hang with the Game." Mick Foley has done it once again, with his third successful book.In "Foley Is Good, And the Real World Is Faker Than Wrestling," Mick Foley picks up right where he left off in his "towering best seller," "Have a Nice Day." In this book, he does talk about his life personally, but it is in no way an autobiography. It picks up where the other book ended, as...

Bravo Mick!!!! A Brilliant Work. Highest Recommendation

"Foley is Good," the follow up to Mick Foley's best-selling "Have a Nice Day" is just as equally entertaining and worthwhile to read as the first book. If you've read the first book you no doubt thought Mick said everything he could, right? You could not be anymore wrong however."Foley is Good," is a brilliant piece of work that contains several elements. First and foremost, you'll get to meet "Mick Foley Superdad" and...

Mick proves the title is correct

Mick Foley has done it again. Not only did he keep all the things I liked about "Have a Nice Day!" -- especially the lovely flow of his jokes -- but he has produced with "Foley is Good" a better-structured piece that also showcases his interest in things other than wrestling. (But don't worry, there's plenty of wrestling stuff for the fans.)It's a great book to read aloud because of Mick's timing. You'll laugh through most...

Welcome to the main event!

Mick Foley's first book, Have a Nice Day, completely took the literary world by surprise. With its humorous anecdotes, touching stories, and frank honesty about his career and the world of professional wrestling, the book quickly became the standard to which all other wrestling books are compared. Well, guess what? With this new book, Mick Foley has just raised the bar again. If the first book was the opening match, the...
