History
The title is a spoof of the many "Foley is God" signs that appear at WWE shows whenever Foley appears or is rumored to appear. Foley explained that he is uncomfortable being compared to God, and would rather fans simply say he is "good". In the late 1990s the WWF came out with t-shirts for Foley that said "Foley is God", but later changed the shirt to say "Foley is Good" due to accusations of blasphemy.
As in his first book, Foley wrote this one without the aid of a ghostwriter.Smith, Diniita (May 22, 2001). "A Wrestler Who Prefers the Pen to the Pin". New York Times. http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9F0DE7D9143DF931A15756C0A9679C8B63&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=all. Retrieved 2008-04-26.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“History, as an entirety, could only exist in the eyes of an observer outside it and outside the world. History only exists, in the final analysis, for God.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“All history attests that man has subjected woman to his will, used her as a means to promote his selfish gratification, to minister to his sensual pleasures, to be instrumental in promoting his comfort; but never has he desired to elevate her to that rank she was created to fill. He has done all he could to debase and enslave her mind; and now he looks triumphantly on the ruin he has wrought, and say, the being he has thus deeply injured is his inferior.”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
“In history an additional result is commonly produced by human actions beyond that which they aim at and obtain—that which they immediately recognize and desire. They gratify their own interest; but something further is thereby accomplished, latent in the actions in question, though not present to their consciousness, and not included in their design.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
