20 Best Wrestling Books Ever
1. Have A Nice Day - A Tale Of Blood And Sweatsocks - Mick Foley
A Tale Of Blood And Sweatsocks makes for quite the original sub-title, and that's very fitting for Mick Foley. There hasn't been another performer like Foley in wrestling history, who came across as an approachable soul even at the height of his fame. That rings true in Have A Nice Day.
Foley's next three autobiographies were varied in quality. All proved entertaining, but none of the subsequent reads managed to come anywhere close to his first. In many ways, Have A Nice Day is the definitive wrestling autobiography, setting the template for others to follow.
There's no room for kayfabe in this one, Foley penned the book himself and wanted to tell his story exactly as he remembered it, youth, WCW, ECW, the WWF and all. The whole thing is endearing till the end, an unstoppable page-turner that is genuinely difficult to put down.
That's because Mick's writing is so colourful and vibrant, jumping off the page and making it easy to visualise what he's describing. There may never be a better wrestling book written, let alone a better wrestling autobiography.
