Foley Is Good - History

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:

    America is the only nation in history which miraculously has gone directly from barbarism to degeneration without the usual interval of civilization.
    Georges Clemenceau (1841–1929)

    The history of the past is but one long struggle upward to equality.
    Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)

    The only history is a mere question of one’s struggle inside oneself. But that is the joy of it. One need neither discover Americas nor conquer nations, and yet one has as great a work as Columbus or Alexander, to do.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
