Foley is good : ... and the real world is faker than wrestling

Amazon.com Review Not only is gap-toothed Mick Foley a heavy character in the World Wrestling Federation, he is the undisputed literary champion of the wrestling bestseller. It's amazing that there is such a thing as a ''wrestling bestseller,'' and that fact owes largely to the No. 1 bestselling success of Foley's first book, Foley Is Good: And the Real World Is Faker Than Wrestling , and fans will not be disappointed by the jokes, the jibes at fellow WWF arm-twisters, and the genial charm of the literary behemoth of our time. Product Description In Foley Is Good, Mick Foley -- former Commissioner of the World Wrestling Federation, aka Cactus Jack, Dude Love, and Mankind -- picks up right where his smash #1 New York Times bestseller Have a Nice Day! left off, giving readers an inside look at the behind-the-scenes action in the Federation. With total honesty and riotous humor, Mick Foley 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.

Debuting at number one on the New York Times nonfiction best-seller list, this sequel to Have a Nice Day (Regan, 1999/VOYA February 2000) covers the end of Foley's active career as a professional wrestler in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). Foley writes about the price he paid, especially physically, to reach the pinnacle of his profession and discusses his surprising success as an author. Although laced with humor, much of it quite raunchy, the book tells an often-sad story as Foley realizes that his body is breaking down and as he fears becoming a joke and a liability. The writing is in-depth about particular matches, including the infamous "I Quit" match featured in the 1999 documentary film Beyond the Mat, and about his relationship with WWF owner Vince McMahon. The book covers other passions in Foley's life: amusement parks, his friends, and his family. Sex references are heavy and often gratuitous. Sex and violence are the calling cards of the new WWF, leading to much condemnation of the product by critics. Foley, in a lengthy and often quite amusing rebuttal, answers the criticism, particularly those of the Parent's Television Council. As a public service, Foley lays down the law to kids participating in backyard wrestling. This book is essential reading for the falling number of WWF fans. Parents of younger fans might be shocked by some of the content, but most teen readers are sure to be entertained by the continuing saga of wrestling's hardcore legend. Photos. Source Notes.
