Product Description
Synopsis
What does it feel like to fall through a flaming table for the very first time? Or the umpteenth time for that matter. In the fresh off-the-cuff style that has earned him legions of admirers and made his previous wrestling books massive worldwide bestsellers, Foley gives readers a blow-by-blow first-hand account of exactly what it is like to step into the wrestling ring. As a champion wrestler he was known both for his tenacity in the ring and for the fearlessness which led him to take extraordinary risks in any number of groundbreaking dangerous stunts. And as an industry insider he offers a unique perspective on what it was like to perform at that level which readers will never find anywhere else. In HARDCORE DIARIES Mick Foley will take fans right inside a hardcore match, vividly recreating his experiences, and revealing how mentally and physically preparing for this extremely challenging sport has helped him become the legend he is today.

5.0 out of 5 stars The third in the trilogy, 5 Mar 2007
By M. Norris "339" (Durham, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
After over 5 years since 'Foley is Good' and two excellent novels later, Mick Foley is back with the third and final (although who really knows?) chapter of his life story. Being a huge fan of Foley both in the ring and the world of literature I pretty much instantly pre-ordered the latest installment which arrived much earlier than I expected (Thanks Amazon!) and I must say that 'Hardcore Diaries' just about lives up to expectations. Sure it isn't the behemoth that is 'Have A Nice Day!' but then nothing is. What it is however is a great read as well as an (in my opinion) unprecedented look into the workings of WWE, Vince McMahon and the wrestling business as a whole. Reading about Foley's conception for the perfect angle right through to the conclusion of 'ECW One Night Stand 2006' was certainly an eye-opener and made this reader wonder how Foley feels about the current state of ECW as well as the WWE product as a whole.

Mick Foley speaks with his refreshing dose of brutal honesty and humour about such key figures as Paul Heyman, Stephanie McMahon, Ric Flair and Triple H as well as enough brutal home truths about Vince to keep one going for many years. However I give kudos to Vince and the WWE machine for seemingly letting Foley's words be published uncensored even if it has reportedly cost Mick Foley a 'Wrestlemania' pay-off this year.

It does seem however that Mick has used the book to air a few issues with certain members of the WWE roster or to make a point about his treatment in Ric Flair's autobiography. However as a good half of the book constitutes diary entries through May and June of 2006, we're getting access to Mick Foley's feelings at that precise moment without the benefit of hindsight, something which makes this book all the more intriguing to read.

For all fans of the previous volumes there are plenty of stories about Mick's family who after reading 3 books about are just as integral to these books as Mick himself. There are also some great stories about fans that Mick has grown close to both in the U.S. and Afghanistan as well as some great WWE Diva stories (Melina features pretty prominently) and a great chapter on Twisted Sister's Dee Snider. Plus it's all liberally sprinkled with the obligatory Al Snow, Test, Mark Henry jokes and even a reference to Buff v Booker T in 2001 something I found personally funny.

As a writer Mick Foley really appeals to me. Not only did I like his autobiographies but both 'Tietam Brown' and 'Scooter' sit pride of place on my bookshelf. Now 'Hardcore Diaries' can join them, and is more than worthy.

4.0 out of 5 stars foley writes a nearly as classic hattrick., 24 May 2007
By N. C. Wilson "Hardcore Mum!" (the middle of england) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
having read micks other two books this one is not really as classic as the others,but is worth spending your hard earnt money on.
his comments on ric flair were refreshing to read after all the hype that was printed on flairs comments about mick foleys career[which i also read in flairs book] i also enjoyed his opinion on the running of ECW and his love of paul e dangerously, terry funk and tommy dreamer.
this book is an insight of life amongst the WWE workers and runners and i would recomeend any wrestling fan to give it a good read.
some amusing little tails too.
