Mick Foley

Mick Foley is a legendary name in the world of sports entertainment. He began wrestling professionally while in college. Foley was one of the cornerstones of the WWE’s meteoric rise in popularity, becoming WWE Champion three times, and entertaining millions around the globe, before his unprecedented physical style took its toll, resulting in a mind numbing list of injuries, including 350 stitches, a multitude of bone fractures and three knee surgeries, as well as the loss of one ear and two teeth.

Just when we thought he would retire, Foley became the talk of the sports-entertainment world by leaving WWE and signing with TNA – Total Nonstop Action – a vibrant, young promotion with national television exposure on Spike TV, for an on-air role which should include occasional returns to in-ring action.

But an extremely surprising man, in ring and out, when Mick decided to pen his first book, Have a Nice Day, he showcased his irreverent sense of humor and natural storytelling ability. He shocked the literary world by hitting #1 on the New York Times Bestseller List and by staying there for 26 weeks.  The sequel, Foley is Good, shot to #1 in its very first week. His latest book, The Hardcore Diaries, was also a New York Times Bestseller, and was named as a “notable book for teens” by the New York Public Library.

In addition, he has become a much sought after college lecturer, speaking at some of our country’s finest institutions, including Notre Dame, Syracuse University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

So there you have it— the tale of two men trapped in one body.  You might expect a big, dumb wrestler, but you might just get an extremely intelligent, speaker for your next seminar or a wacky character for your next movie. You might be able to pigeon-hole the target market for your new product spokesperson, but Mick Foley could probably reach that audience with any one of his many personas!
