Diaries by Mick Foley
Book Description
What was I thinking? Another autobiography? A third? Who did
I think I was, Winston Churchill? Why would I want to set my pen
loose on hundreds of sheets of notebook paper unless I really
felt I had something worth writing about?
Besides, I had a wrestling
comeback to prepare for, mentally and physically, provided I
could get Vince McMahon and the WWE creative staff to embrace
what I was sure was the single greatest storyline of my career.
Then it hit me: the storyline. I
would give WWE fans unprecedented access to World Wrestling
Entertainment, covering everything from conception to
completion. I would recount how I felt about specific interviews
and matches, whether they helped or hurt. I would expose the
backstage politics, shed some light on my rocky relationship
with Vince McMahon, offer insights into my personal dealings
with WWE Superstars, and tell stories about my favorite Divas.
But I wasn't interested in
writing just a wrestling book. I wanted to share moments from my
personal life as well, from a humorous look at my unlikely
dinner with polarizing neocon Paul Wolfowitz, to my haunting
meeting with a severely burned boy in Afghanistan, to my
peculiar obsession with a certain jolly old elf.
I knew I could make the fans care
about this storyline, provided I could once again find the
passion to make the story come to life in arenas around the
country and on television sets around the world.
Most importantly, I had to ask
myself a vital question, one upon which this whole idea, and
therefore the book you hold, hinges: Was I willing to become the
first voluntary member of the Vince McMahon "Kiss My Ass Club"?
I sat on the idea for a few days, to let the idea ripen and
mature in my mind, like a fine vintage wine, and to figure out
if I was really willing to kiss his ass. I mean, literally kiss
a man's ass. Sure, I'd been kissing the same guy's ass
figuratively for a decade. But this was different. Did I really
have the testicular fortitude required for such a task? In front
of millions? Including my wife and kids?
I made the call.
