Harcore Diaries Post

The Hardcore Diaries by Mick Foley is very weird. You'd think that a guy who got thrown of cages and set on fire voluntarily wouldn't be that bright of a man. Well you get the complete opposite. Mick Foley is a 3 time NY Times best selling author with 3 autobiographies. He's no Winston Churchill but he knows his stuff, especially when talking about the prowrestling business. The book is suprisingly well written as Mrs. Foley's Baby Boy tells his stories of the more recent era.

WWE has gone through many eras. These eras have been defined by superstars, moments, matches and more. The eras go as followed:
1.Hulkamania (1980's) Hulk Hogan, Roddy Piper, Sgt. Slaughter, Randy Savage. The era that put wrestling on the map, infulential superstars such as the Hulkster ran wild and made wrestling the phenomena it is.
2.New Generation (Late 80's early 90's) Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Yokozuna, Diesel. This new brand of superstars brought in greatness in all shapes and sizes. A 228 lbs Shawn Michaels to a 505 lbs Yokozuna
3.Attitude Era (Late 90's early 00's) Triple H, Mick Foley, Degeneration X, The Rock, Stone Cold. Wrestlings most popular era. This brought back the @$$ kicking people wanted. You witnessed the emergence of stars like The Rock and Stone Cold in their immortal careers as the two greatest of all time.
4.Ruthless Agression (Early 00's 2007) Edge and Christian, The Hardyz, Y2J, Dudley Boys. This is self explanatory. Wrestling was feeling absolutely ruthless at this exact point and time and whoever could combine body and soul was the top dog.

5. Universe or PG era (2007-present) John Cena, CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, Roman Reigns. This era has later 7 whole years and is difficult to predict what will be ushered in. This era is about the selling of your product. If you get people to buy what your selling, you have become successful.

All the things in each era that makes people great are adjectives describing the greatest superstars ever. Mick Foley is on that list.
