1countdown to lockdownFoley publishes his fourth memoir, Countdown to Lockdown: A Hardcore Journal. The book follows Foley’s run in TNA as he counts down the events leading up to his highly publicized match against Sting.

 At one time, I was really afraid they were going to scrap the whole project, especially when my own personal story started to take a turn for the worse. Luckily for me, Vince McMahon really believed that I should have the right to tell the story as I saw it.

The Hardcore Diaries

Book0 Comments

9781416556787_p0_v1_s260x420Foley publishes a third memoir The Hardcore Diaries. This book follows Foley’s creative struggles with WWE and the return of ECW as a WWE brand. Foley goes in depth on his differences with WWE owner, Vince McMahon.

I believe that anyone that likes my writing style will enjoy this one as well. The things that they loved about the first three, the sophomoric humor, the Tori Amos references, are all abundant in this one as well.

Foley is Good: And the Real World is Faker than Wrestling

foley is goodFoley publishes his second memoir, picking up where the last left off. This book follows Foley as an aging wrestler and his most recent WWE run.

It’s difficult to differentiate between a story that’s humorous and clever and one that actually makes people laugh out loud. I do have stories in the book that make people laugh out loud, but there are others that make people smile or chuckle and you have to learn that you can’t tell too many of those types of stories on stage.

Have A Nice Day: A Tale of Blood and Sweatsocks

Book0 Comments

Foley publishes his first memoir, Have a Nice Day: a Tale of Blood and Sweatsocks. Foley becomes the first professional wrestler to pen his own autobiography without the use of a ghost writer. The book covers Foley’s childhood, teenage years and early career.

A big book is like a serious relationship; it requires a commitment. Not only that, but there’s no guarantee that you will enjoy it, or that it will have a happy ending. Kind of like going out with a girl, having to spend time every day with her – with absolutely no guarantee of nailing her in the end. No thanks.
