    I know Flair is a legend and all, but why oh why is he ragging on other luminaries of the sport in his book? Yes yes, I know, so fellas will buy it, but what is his long term gain here.

    I know Foley did likewise in his first book, but that was at a time when Flair was contracted to WcW, and Foley was in WWF.

    What makes it all the more surprsing is why the hell did the WWE let such a book be published un their moniker? Especially as Foley is still a semi active wrestler, and they are trying to lure Bret to make one final appearance. This wont help matters. Did the WWE legal/PR team even bother to browse through this book?

    Kind of remindful of the Jaap Stam book a few years ago i reckon.

    Everyone seems to forget this little snippet - while Foley did blast Flair at certain times in his book, while Flair was WCW booker - he also gave props to Flair about being one of the best in the business and that he was proud that Flair gave him his first tenure in WCW - seems that Flair concentrated on the bad rather then looking at the whole picture that Foley painted
