Product Description

Book Information

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, No. 1 New York Times bestselling literary opus Mankind--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 humour 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 sports entertainment'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. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Format:Hardcover
This is a suberb book. Wrestling fans will love it and it is a good insight into wrestling for people who aren't Wrestling fans. It carries on where 'Mankind, Have a Nice Day: A Tale Of Blood And Sweatsocks' left off. Foley, a self confessed geek does an excellent job here. Well Done!!!!!

Excellent sequel 23 May 2001
By Pete
Format:Hardcover
This is a different book from Have A Nice Day. It carries on from where the first left off, since the first book spent 500+ pages talking about his carreer up until 1999, there was obviously little wrestling content as pertains to his career to fill another book.

Instead Foley focuses on his lifestyle, his relationship with Vince McMahon, and the media, and most importantly, his decision to retire.

In the final two chapters, Mick writes about how the media, inparticular the PTC, make scapegoats out of the WWF. These are thoroughly researched and make very interesting reading, although as Foley says himself, they should be treated as a different book.

All in all, this book is well worth getting, whether or not you are a wrestling fan.

beards are still cool 17 Jun 2008
By BGB
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Again Mick Foley has produced an excellent book. This time he recalls in greater depth the WWE era of his career. There are some truly awesome tales in this book, such as the penis suplex, the rock n sock connection to name but two.
Mick does get caught up in some political aspects of the business towards the end of the book which is a bit too heavy going, but this does not spoil the read. The rest is fast paced, funny and heart warming. Some find it a bit random in places, but that just makes it a more personal experience.
Moral of the story, wear pants under your lycra.
Buy it, read it and pass on the wisdom of wrestling.

This, along with Have a Nice Day, is one of the best boks I have read in my life! I would recommend it to anyone who has a passing interest in wrestling, sport, or even reading!

Foley pulls of another masterpiece. Although not quite as good as Have A Nice Day, Foley Is Good is a very close contender. Read more
