The Hardcore Diaries
''The Hardcore Diaries'' is the third autobiography of '' New York Times'' best-selling author and former WWE wrestler Mick Foley.

Content The book is the third installment of Mick Foley's autobiographical series and begins where the first two books – '' Have a Nice Day: A Tale of Blood and Sweatsocks'' and '' Foley Is Good: And the Real World Is Faker than Wrestling'' – leave off.
