About this product

Product Information

This Book is Not for the Squeamish No. This is the autobiography of the Hardcore Legend, Mick Foley. Some wrestling fans claim that "Foley is God." You're about to find out why. Mick Foley is a nice man. A family man. He loves his son, Dewey, his daughter, Noelle, and his beautiful wife, Colette. He loves amusement parks, eating ice cream in bed, and watching Nickelodeon. So, how to explain his participation in Japanese Death Matches, which replace the ring ropes with barbed wire, cover the mats with glittering gold thumbtacks, and feature C4 explosives scattered throughout the ring? How to explain the barbed--wire scars that zigzag across his body, the second-degree burn tissue that is a memento of an exploding C4, and the missing ear that was ripped clean off his head during a bout? And how to explain how, after losing his ear, he then continued his match? Here is an intimate glimpse into Mick Foley's mind, his history, his passions, and what some might call his pathology. No ghostwriter. Not "as told to." Straight from the twisted genius behind Cactus Jack, Dude Love, and Mankind---deciphered from 760 pages of maniacally handwritten notebook paper--comes a tale of blood, sweat, tears, and still more blood. You'll chuckle at Mick's early back-yard wrestling antics and homemade wrestling movies. You'll be amazed by the inside scoop on legends in the business like Terry Funk, Harley Race, Abdullah the Butcher, and Ric Flair. You'll squirm as Mick describes his incredible risks in the ring and his grisly, mind--numbing injuries. Finally, you will cheer with true admiration as arguably the hardest-working, most dedicated, and most heroic man in sports-entertainment beats all the odds and takes home the prize he had been told all along he would never, ever get: the World Wrestling Federation Championship belt.

If you've never read a pro wrestling book, and you don't know what to get first, you could worse than picking up Mick Foley's "Have a Nice Day!". Undoubtedly the best book actually written by an in-ring performer, Foley is funny, descriptive, and breezy. He "breaks Kayfabe" on several occasions and doles out plenty of juicy tidbits regarding behind the scenes escapades. But this is no big lug writing about large men in tights who compete in fixed battles; Foley's honesty and charm shine through in every chapter. Hearing the man known throughout his career alternately as Cactus Jack, Mankind, Dude Love, and his own name talk about his wife and children is touching and tender. The big guy who's earned the moniker "The King of Hardcore Wrestling", who's taken more brutal, potentially crippling falls than anyone in the history of the business, is a winner again here as his book begins as a novelty, develops into a page-turner, and concludes as a small wonder. Big thumbs up. One last thing-in the world of pro wrestling books, this rates as "Outstanding". My rating of "good" reflects it's lot among ALL books.Read full review

A brilliant work from a legendary hardcore author!
During the decade of the 1990s, professional wrestling was at an all-time high. The squared circle saw its share of top-notch in-ring performers who excelled at what they did, to entertain fans around the world. Perhaps no other individual has personafied this more than the hardcore legend, Mick Foley. In 1999, he wrote an amazing book entitled "Have A Nice Day! A Tale Of Blood And Sweatsocks". As he explained on a nationally televised wrestling program to promote this book, he said that he is computer illiterate, so he wrote the entire thing in long-hand form with the assistance of ballpoint pens and 17 blank notebooks. The result is a fascinating piece of reading that brings the reader into the world of wrestling in an up-close-and-personal way that is geniunely unique. At more than 500 pages in length, the detailed information housed within the covers also makes for a fabulous conversation piece. In the book, Foley explains about how he lost part of his right ear; battles with formidable opponents such as Undertaker, Triple H, The Rock and others; the reasons behins his 3 alter egos - Mankind, Cactus Jack, Dude Love; and, of course, how he got involved in the sport itself. And, who could ever forget that classic Hell-In-A-Cell match where he was tossed off the top of the cage? He also divulges stories about his family life, reflecting on his wife and children. Above all else, Foley is living proof that a human car crash can take a real beating and keep coming back for more. Have A Nice Day, Mick!Read full review

Have A Nice Day!!
I decided to buy this book because I really like wrestling and wanted to get an insider's perspective and the fact that Mick wrote the book by himself without the help of a co-author helped a lot as well. This book was very interesting and provides great background information about the business and personal side of the Wrestling Business. This book was a very good read and Mick Foley's humor will really make you smile!

Excellent game give it an A+++
I have the book, I am surprised how well he wrote the book and the why he express himself, specially since I have seen some of his old matches he brutalize his body like none other, that is why he is a hardcore legend. I cant put the book down like it took me a couple of days to read it that is surprising to me because I never finish a book cus it don't keep my interested but this book did from start to finish I just wanted to keep on reading it, it is a great book, I will recommend to everyone to read it.
