We are bringing some sophistication up in here!!! Well... some wrestling sophistication anyway... After a little tease yesterday we are happy to welcome you to the debut of the Bearhug Book Club. Every month we will pick a new book centred around wrestling that we will be reading and sharing our thoughts on a special livestream. If you want to join us on this venture, keep your eyes peeled to the socials/website for the new book annoucement and join us in the livestream to share your comments with us.
We are kicking things off with an absolute classic and a book that set the bar for wrestling biographies - "Have a Nice Day: A Tale of Blood and Sweatsocks" by Mick Foley. Foley has one hell of a story to tell, detailing his life before wrestling and his in-ring career up until 1999. Not only was he a tremedous wrestler but he proves with this first outting he is a talanted writer.
Goodreads description - Mick Foley is a nice man, a family man who loves amusement parks and eating ice cream in bed. So how to explain those Japanese death matches in rings with explosives, golden thumbtacks and barbed wire instead of rope? The second-degree burn tissue? And the missing ear that was ripped off during a bout-in which he kept fighting? Here is an intimate glimpse into Mick Foley's mind, his history, his work and what some might call his pathology. Now with a bonus chapter summarizing the past 15 months-from his experience as a bestselling author through his parting thoughts before his final match. A tale of blood, sweat, tears and more blood-all in his own words-straight from the twisted genius behind Cactus Jack, Dude Love, and Mankind.
Stay tuned for the livestream announcement.
