What a man. Glad to have read this, despite never being a huge fan of wrestling. Mick Foley got me interested thanks to this book, and philosophy.

I enjoyed this autobiography because it's so clearly written in Foley's voice. Some of the jokes are a little in poor taste in 2025 compared to 1999, but this memoir is good natured and has a ton of heart.

There were a lot of interesting stories and I gained a lot of respect for professional wrestlers and what they do, but I don't think the book has much appeal to those that aren't wrestling fans.

I had a lot of fun remembering my teenage years cheering for Cactus Jack (I even bought his shirt back on high school)
