AND THE REAL WORLD IS FAKER THAN WRESTLING
By: Mick Foley
Regan Books/Harper Collins
Review by: The Force
The number one New York Times bestselling author has returned. Mick Foley is back with even more humor and candor in Foley is Good. This book is even more hard hitting and funny than Have a Nice Day. Foley does not pull any punches in his follow-up masterpiece. The best chapters in my opinion are I Quit (3), Backyard Wrestling (5), Just Blame Vince (6), Legal Issues (19) and the very emotional and touching chapter on the late Owen Hart (13). He speaks openly about the wrestling business, inside and out. He speaks about the brutal I Quit match with the Rock in which the Rock went to far with chair shots. Foley was pissed at the Rock for not even coming in to check on him after the match. Not even the Billion Dollar Man Vince McMahon is safe from Foleys jabs. Lets not forget the Al Snow jokes, but Foley has found a new target for cutdowns, the Mean Street Posse. Mick Foley certainly has a future for himself when he FINALLY retires from the World Wrestling Federation. He has proven that he can author with the best of them. The kicker is if he can follow in the Rocks footsteps on the big screen. Somehow Foley will find a way to succeed and overcome the hurdles that made him a success and role model today. This is how wrestling autobiographies should be written so chumps like Bob Costas and the morons from the Parents Television Counsel can understand what this business is all about, ENTERTAINMENT.
