Mick Foley told IGN.com that he's working on a new book that chronicles the buildup to tonight's Lockdown pay-per-view match with Sting. "It's been great for me," Foley said of his move to TNA. "I have no doubt that it was the right move to make. I think anyone who watches Impact can see that I'm having more fun. That I enjoy really being part of the mix.
"I'm working on a book right now detailing my adventures leading up to this one match. It's similar, in that respect, to the book that I wrote in 2006, about leading up to a big match in the WWE. The biggest difference is that it's so much easier for me to try to get my vision across to viewers. Part of what made the last book a good read I think was that it detailed the constant battles I would have with the WWE creative department and with Vince McMahon. Those battles don't really exist in TNA for me."
Foley also discussed the all cage match format of the TNA Lockdown pay-per-view. "I just wrote about that last night and this morning, saying that when I first heard about Lockdown, about four or five years ago, there didn't seem to be any way to make a show consisting solely of cage matches work without getting repetitious. I think what it does though is that it forces the participants to be creative and come up with new ways of using the cage. It is more difficult since you can't just rely on a couple of the old standbys."
