There's a reason Mick Foley is crerished by millions of wrestling enthusiasts around the world. Even today, his social media posts are held aloft as beacons of truth regarding an industry which has lost some magic. People really do seem to live vicariously through the man. For a lot of people, that all started when they first read his initial autobiography, Have A Nice Day: A Tale Of Blood And Sweatsocks. Read different fan-written reviews of the book, and it becomes clear that many folks read it in just one sitting. That's a testament to how gripping it is, Foley comes across as an average wrestling fan who managed to overcome the odds and become one of the top stars in the industry he loved. For many fans, they would love to live out fantasies akin to those experienced by Mick. Foley's later books are enjoyable, but none come close to that first one. The book has even been credited as the one which fully launched WWF/WWE interest in publishing text for fan consumption on a regular basis. It's a heart-warming story, even if it is laced with broken bones, injuries and mental trauma for his family! The back spine of the book proves just how much Foley sacrificed to be remembered, but he penned a book which will never be forgotten.
