Non-Fiction Memoir
The undisputed king of the literary ring is back with
another handwritten, hardcore home run. Forget the ghost
writer and the computer keyboard - this mesmerizing memoir
is straight from the pen and notebook paper of the Hardcore
Legend, Mick Foley, chronicling the heart-pounding build-up
to "Lockdown", one of the most important matches of his long
and storied career. Foley's every limit is tested, as he
battles back the formidable tag-team of Father Time and
Mother Nature - overcoming a host of injuries and serious
self-doubts to get back in the ring with one of his all-time
favorite foes. With his trademark blend of wit and wisdom,
wildness and warmth, Foley dishes previously untold stories
from his remarkable life, including his transition from WWE
to TNA, his ill-fated stint as a television commentator, his
tumultuous relationship with Vince McMahon, his thoughts on
performance enhancing substances in sports, the troubling
list of wrestlers dying way too young, and his soul saving
work in Sierra Leone.
Raw, dynamic, and unabashedly
honest, COUNTDOWN TO LOCKDOWN charts
Foley's wrestling rebirth, and rise to heights that his fans
thought he would never see again.
