Foley is Good
Foley is Good: And the Real World is Faker Than Wrestling | Mick Foley
6 posts | 4 read
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.

Foley is go(o)d. During my wrestling viewing days, Mick Foley was one of the most entertaining and exciting aspects of the biz. And, by all accounts, he is a genuinely good person, donating time and money to many charities and to the armed forces. After posting a video to YouTube a couple months ago appealing to Drumpf for compassion and rationality, he has officially cut ties with the WWE due to their and HHH's connection to the administration.

TieDyeDude He specifically chose this moment because of the vile comments from Drumpf on Rob Reiner's death (which I refuse to read). #FDT

Also, Foley is a fun and engaging author, if you need any sports-related books for future reading challenges!

lil1inblue I should get this for my husband. When we first got together, we used to watch wrestling together every week (during the attitude era). Mick Foley was always so entertaining. 3w
TieDyeDude @AmyG He is so good to his fans! I just saw a post about reconnecting with a fan who gave him a particular stuffed animal decades after they met.
@lil1inblue That was a great time. I loved the Rock and Sock Connection 😝 @THeBookHippie He has a few books, I think I only read the first two, though.

TheBookHippie @TieDyeDude I know nothing about this world 🤣 yes that‘s as pretentious as it sounds. Oy. My nephew who loves it has abandoned it bc of the Cheeto Satan so this is the best gift! 3w
TieDyeDude @TheBookHippie Absolutely! I think any of his books would be a great gift 😁 3w
TheBookHippie @TieDyeDude we have to support people when they do this I firmly believe that. 3w
BookishMadHatter I loved him when I was a WWE fan (we won't think about how many years ago I was a teenager lol) 3w
Suet624 Good for him! 3w
mariaku21 I got to meet him just earlier this year and he's legit the sweetest ever. He's just so supportive of his fan base and I stand with him on his decision ✊🏻❤️ 3w
AnnCrystal I know nothing about this world, although my God Brother is a pro-MMA (can't even watch his fights). Yet, when I read about what Foley did, I became a Foley fan (even if I never actually watch him fight). Foley has decided to risk it and stand on the right side of history, and actions like this need to be cheered from the rooftops each and every time someone makes a peaceful stand 👏🏼🥳✊🏼💫✊🏼💙✊🏼. 3w

I stole away - well, borrowed - my brother's copies of Mick Foley's biographies to read. I'm still on a nonfiction kick as of late, and my obsession with #wrestling is at a weird point where I don't know what's happening but want to know how it all happens. Actual Muppet Mick Foley's memoirs are ones I've been meaning to read for a while and I'm excited to finally pick them up. Are there any memoirs you want to read and haven't yet? (#mickfoley)

#publishedinthe2000s I was a big WWE fan in my high school days. Mainly now I'll catch special events, like the upcoming Royal Rumble. Mick Foley's story is a fascinating read; the friendliest Santa & Disney loving guy in the world, in the most dangerous life endangering Hardcore Champion's career. The last I heard from Mick Foley nowadays, found good chats on The Stone Cold Podcast; Mick's rival buddy Steve Austin, hosting a great WWE talk show.

I love Mick Foley. In addition to being known in pro wrestling as Mankind, Cactus Jack, etc., Mick always wanted to be Santa. So he did it. He trained and studied, and he is a great Santa now. They even made a documentary about the process. He is the definition of #nicesanta. #12daysofxmasphoto

Seekingtardis I love Mick too! My grandpa is a HUGE fan of his so my uncle got him to sign a sock for my grandpa and it was the best present he ever got! I've never seen him smile so big!! 😍😍 9y
