Summary: A LIFE IN WRESTLING!!
Review: This DVD is #12 in my 130 greatest WWE DVD's. Cactus Jack, Mick Foley, Mankind & Dude Love are the same person. It has him on here as all 4 names.
Undertaker vs. Mankind was the second greatest Hell In A Cell ever next to HHH vs. HBK at Bad Blood. Mankind gets thrown off the top of the Cell.
Triple H vs. Cactus Jack this match was amazing and Cactus Jack gets tacks stuck in his forehead. You may actually throw up.
This DVD is worth it if you like Hardcore wrestling. Mick Foley is the greatest Hardcore entertainer ever.

Review: This DVD is the greatest mick foley DVD of all time. The only flaw is not showing the No Way out classic Hell In A Cell match.
I have two easter eggs I found on this DVD and they are all on Disc 2. Take note.
Select the chapter section, Hit the left button 2 times on the Shawn Michaels vs.Mankind match, What it shows is a mankind Chef Boyardde commercial.
The next one is really a treat.
Go to the extras,go to the birth of Mr. socko and hit left,right,left,right.It should show a short movie of Triple H's idea of critasizing Mankind. It's what he did around the end of 1999 and into the beginning of 2000.
Hope you like the easter eggs

Summary: Add it to your collection!
Review: This DVD isn't as good as the Shawn Michaels or Ric Flair collection, but it is still well worth adding to your wrestling archives. This DVD includes the infamous fall from the Hell in a Cell match vs. Undertaker and a lot of classic ECW stuff from the career of Cactus Jack. Mick introduces each match and gives some insight and background on them. The extras are also pretty good even though Mick was never a truly great interview, even though he apparently thinks that he was. Don't get me wrong, I'm a Mick fan and I think he is the classic example of an overachiever in the sport? of pro wrestling. He gave good interviews, but he never approached the great ones like Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes, Roddy Piper, etc. Anyway this is a good DVD if you are a wrestling fan and well worth adding to your collection. But get the Michaels and Flair DVD's first... they are much better.

Summary: It's not bad. There's room for improvement.
Review: This DVD isn't bad at all but I'm very angry at the WWE for not including one, or actually two of the greatest matches that Mick Foley ever fought in. The Hell in a Cell match, Cactus Jack vs. Triple H and the I Quit Match, Mankind vs. The Rock. Other than those two, the DVD was alright.

Summary: Foley Is Good!!!!!!
Review: This is my favorite dvd I own. It is awesome. I have watched in the three months of owned it over a dozen times. Foley is not only KING of Hardcore, he is the king of comedy, man is he funny.
Here is a rundown of the matches and what I think of them:Disc 1
Cactus Jack v. Vader (4/17/93, WCW Saturday Night)
7/10
Preety good hardcore match, however man is Tony Schiavone a bad announcer he just keeps saying "my goodness, my goodness." Cactus Jack and Maxx Payne v. The Nasty Boys (4/17/94, WCW Spring Stampede)
9/10
One of WCW's greatest hardcore matches, however it ends quite abrutly. Cactus Jack v. Sabu (4/17/94, ECW Hostile City Showdown)
5/10
Couldn't live up to what was expected, average match. Cactus Jack v. Chris Candido (11/18/94, Smoky Mountain Wrestling)
2/10
Horrible match, worst by far on the dvd. Cactus Jack v. The Sandman (2/9/95, ECW)
7/10
It is funny how bad the Sandman really is, Foley makes him look as best as he can. Cactus Jack and Raven v. Terry Funk and Tommy Dreamer (11/18/95, ECW November To Remember)
10/10
Incredible match, best on Disc 1 Cactus Jack v. Mikey Whipwreck (3/9/96, ECW Big A$$ Extreme Bash)
8/10
Foley has a preety good match with Mikey, why couldn't we see his dancing exit with the Meanie and Richards though? Disc 1 Extra Matches Cactus Jack v. Sting (6/20/92, WCW Beach Blast)
6/10
Great Match for '92, average match for today, man, do I miss the Stinger! Cactus Jack v. Sabu (9/30/94, ECW)
9/10
Very good match, much better than the one showcased on the main feature. Disc 2 Mankind v. Shawn Michaels (9/22/96, WWE Mindgames)
10/10
Foley considers this his greatest performance, it is great, let me tell you! Cactus Jack v. Hunter Hearst Helmsley (9/22/97, WWE Raw)
7/10
It is a good match, but not near as good as their latter Royal Rumble and No Way Out 2K battles. Mick Foley v. Terry Funk (5/4/98, WWE Raw)
10/10
Amazing 20 minute action by these to Hardcore legends, Austin does an hilarious job on commentating. Dude Love v. Stone Cold Steve Austin (5/31/98, WWE Over The Edge)
9/10
Great match, the best match the DUDE ever saw, and he didn't see to many of them. Mankind v. The Undertaker (6/28/98, WWE King Of The Ring)
10/10
What a beating Foley takes, it's amazing he's still walking Mankind v. The Rock (1/4/99, WWE Raw)
9/10
Match itself is average or even sub average, however the ending is what gives this nine stars P.S- I love it when Foley says "I want to dedicate this match to my two little people at home, and say Big-Daddy-O did it", and Vince's reaction is classic if you listen closly when he replies "that makes me want to pqq." Cactus Jack v. Triple H (1/23/00, WWE Royal Rumble)
10/10
Amazing match, best on the DVD! This is a great DVD, BUY IT NOW!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Not for the faint of heart.........
Review: This is the best Mick Foley DVD ever!!! It features many of the most memorable matches of his 15 year career. There's plenty of blood & guts for gore hounds. That's right, this 2-disc set DVD is loaded with violence and bloody action. You'll see Mick Foley (as Cactus Jack) slicing up Terry Funk's injured arm with a sharp blade. You'll see Mick Foley (as Mankind) being planted on thousands of sharp thumbtacks. The match in which Sabu does a moonsault and severly cracks his ribs on a steel guard rail will even make you hurt! With that being said, I must honestly say that this DVD is NOT for the faint of heart! The blood really does flow freely in some of these matches. You'll also see some of Mick's most memorable promos, interviews, and skits. All of the matches and promos are presented in their entirety. The brutal violence is uncensored, but a lot of the profanity is bleeped. Plus, in all of the WWE matches, the old WWF logo is blurred, which may be a small problem for some viewers. However, this DVD is incredible. I'm glad I own it. I strongly recommend this DVD for any true wrestling fan. It's worth your money.

Summary: Great retrospective, much to be desired for true fans!
Review: This was a great DVD, however I have a few complaints. I thought a lot of the ECW matches were slow and often boring. I was never a really big ECW fan to begin with. I found (and still do) the matches sloppy and have very little pacing. When I did watch, it was for the non-stop, spot heavy action that I did see. (Mainly featuring RVD) I do remember seeing a Sandman vs. Cactus Jack match that was insane (from 1994 ??), but they chose not to show that one. I thought the Smoky Mountain Wrestling match with Chris Candido was boring. My feeling is I guess I am not a true fan as I thought. Most of the older matches I found very boring and while they may have been ground breaking 7, 8 and 9 years ago, to me they didn't hold up. What I did like was many of the promos that were on the disc. I thought the Anti-Hardcore promo was one of the best. Mic Foley has always been a genius behind the mic for interviews, those were great. I liked the WCW footage, the Nasty Boys match was really brutal. The Vader match was ok, but I didn't think it lived up to the hype Mic put on it. Since I have always enjoyed the WWF, it's only natural that I thought the WWF footage was the best. I haven't seen the Mankind vignettes literally since his debut. Some I didn't even remember ever seeing. I thought there could have been other matches selected for this DVD. Seeing the HBK Mind-Games match on yet another DVD is shocking. The space could have been used for many other matches. One being the great match vs. The Rock at the Royal Rumble 1999, Also something about Mic's role in Survivor Series 1998 would have been cool. There is also a segment that aired on Sunday Night Heat ages ago that featured Triple H and Mic Foley talking about their match at SummerSlam 1997. That could have been included. Plus I am a big fan of putting forgotten RAW and Smackdown matches on these things. It really does fans no justice to put matches on DVD that are already on other DVD's or are PPV matches, as many fans already have these. It's RAW matches that I think more people would enjoy. I loved the fact that the Triple H vs. Cactus Jack (complete with that awesome promo) was on the DVD. However, there were great segments like Mic coasting down the ramp on a gurney the day after his match at Royal Rumble 1999 match, along with so many more Foley moments that were left out. I just felt a little slighted. Don't get me wrong this is a great collection and really catalogs a great career. But many of the matches at least to me seem dated slow and often boring. At least until you get to the WWF stuff. I also enjoyed the fact that Foley himself hosted the disc. It's a good disc I just wish it was more involved like the Ric Flair disc, I guess with that being the current benchmark for retro superstars DVD releases, it's going to be very hard to please the hard-core fans. Still a good buy.

Summary: Close To Being The Best Bio-DVD Yet
Review: Two disc set provides for better or worse a visual aid to both of Foley's very successful books.
WCW Saturday Night 4-17-93
Cactus Jack vs. Big Van Vader
Just blatantly brutal and stiff. Not the most exciting match but fun to look back on. Should've put in Halloween Havoc match also. Foley's nose breaking is great.
Spring Stampede 4-17-94
Chicago Street Fight
Cactus Jack & Maxx Payne vs. The Nasty Boys
Awesome match! Definitely ahead of its time by 4-5 years. Action everywhere and some big bumps and hard shots to the head.
ECW Hostile City Showdown 6-24-94
Cactus Jack vs. Sabu
Hyped as a dream match it doesn't live up to that hype but does live up to being a fun match. Two men willing to do anything to themselves.
Smokey Mountain Wrestling 11-18-94
Cactus Jack vs. Chris Candido
Funny promo before the match! It's really cool to look back at this now. Especially with JR doing commentary. This kind of down home wrestling doesn't really exist anymore. Not too bad of a match but it is old school style.
ECW Texas Death Match 2-4-95
Cactus Jack vs. Sandman
Foley himself said this match stinks,(not in so many words) but I like it. Sandman is a zombie but still has the intuition to try to finish the match. He screws with the finish but only because he didn't know where he was! Cool match.
ECW November 2 Remember 11-18-95
Cactus Jack & Raven vs. Terry Funk & Tommy Dreamer
Amazing! I miss this kind of wrestling on a regular basis. They literally use EVERYTHING! Non-stop action makes this the second best match on the whole set!
ECW Big Ass Extreme Bash 3-9-96
Cactus Jack vs. Mikey Whipwreck
Foley's farewell in ECW on my 17th birthday! I remember watching this and thinking about where his career would go! Great send off here and Mikey's best performance ever.
Disc 1 Bonus Matches
WCW Beach Blast 6-20-92
Falls Count Anywhere
Cactus Jack vs. Sting
I wish they used the original commentary. Great match with some good wrestling by Foley and of course the always reliable Sting.
ECW 9-30-94
Cactus Jack vs. Sabu
The rematch. Probably better than the first.
"Jack" Foley & Les Thornton vs. The British Bulldogs
Hilarious to watch now! He was so thin back then!
Disc 2
WWF Championship 9-22-96
Mankind vs. Shawn Michaels
The absolutely underrated classic! Not many people know about this match at all and it's a shame. They had no feud going into this and still got the crowd involved. Both men have this high on their list in their careers so that tells you something.
Falls Count Anywhere/No DQ 9-22-97
Cactus Jack vs. Hunter Hearst Helmsley
Pre-HHH persona and it's great to look at now. Awesome Raw match and the big return of Cactus. Crowd reaction and preceding promo is perfection!
WWF Championship Falls Count Anywhere 5-4-98
Dude Love vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin
Great brawl. Another unheralded gem. Attitude era classic.
Hell in a Cell 6-28-98
Mankind vs. Undertaker
THE match. Any fan worth their salt has seen this a hundred times over and still gets chills. What can you say? You can't comprehend the pain that Foley must've been in for the weeks following this. Another fact is that he still did his run-in in the main event!!
WWF Championship No DQ 1-4-99
Mankind vs. The Rock
A pretty good match and the return of SCSA make this a RAW classic! 15 years had finally paid off for the hardest working man in wrestling.
Street Fight for the WWF Championship 1-23-00
Cactus Jack vs. Triple H
Fantastic way to bring his career full circle! Incredible match and the top 5 all time greatest street fights. This made HHH the star he is now.
The only major omission was the the 2-27-00 No Way Out Hell in a Cell but otherwise a very good DVD.

Summary: foley
Review: When I got this DVD I was expecting some amazingly great matches from Mick's WWE,WCW, and ECW years. When my dvd came in the mail I hadnt read any reviews of it so i was really excited. This dvd was a bit of a letdown for a couple of reasons.1. THE INCLUSION OF SOME MATCHES. 2. THE EXCLUSION OF SOME MATCHES.
here is a match listing and the rating i would give it..... Disc One: Cactus Jack vs. Big Van Vader
(WCW Saturday Might)- ** this match was nothing special. it may have been a good match way back then...but now, it just didnt live up to any of the hype mick put on it. the match was boring at times and i almost fell asleep Cactus Jack & Maxx Payne vs. The Nasty Boys
Chicago Street Fight (WCW Spring Stampede)-***1/2 i thought this match was entertaining. it had its moments where it grew tireing. but for its time it was a great one. The spot where mick gets a shovel to the face is priceless. Cactus Jack vs. Sabu
(ECW Hostile City Showdown)- **** Good match between these too....they tried their hardest to live up to the hype of CACTUS VS. SABU the two most hardcore of them all. Although this was a good match i think that these twoo just did not "click" together...i mean they just didnt flow THAT good. great match though. Cactus Jack vs. Chris Candido
(Smokey Mountain Wrestling)- * Bad boring match Cactus Jack vs. Sandman
Texas Death Match (ECW)-**
Another boring match not very hardcore. I would have rather seen their barbed wire match from ECW between the two of them instead of this one. Cactus Jack & Raven vs. Terry Funk & Tommy Dreamer
(ECW November 2 Remember)-****1/2
Great Match! ALL KINDS OF WEAPONRY USED ...FROM dustpans to shovels to chairs and VCR'S!!! Cactus Jack vs. Mikey Whipwreck
(ECW Big Ass Extreme Bash)- ****
Some solid spots in this one , nice bumps taken by both men....good match overall Disc Two:
Mankind vs. Shawn Micheals
(WWE Mind Games)-***
Good match these two have some good chemistry going. It was very reveloutionary for its time and it is a good match. Awsome when HBK Superkicks Mankind off the top rope with a chair. Cactus Jack vs. Hunter Hearst Helmsley
Falls Count Anywhere (WWE Raw Is War)- ****
Great match these two have awsome chemistry these two take it too the next level in a later match...but this is definatly a classic. Mick Foley vs. Terry Funk
Falls Count Anywhere (WWE Raw IS War)- ****
Another great match between thes two friends. Funny when guest anouncer (AUSTIN) punches the king cause his mic wont work. Actuall match is a good one with a lont of plunder. Dude Love vs. Stone Cold Steve Astin
(WWE Over The Edge)- ***1/2
Good match. Good for its time. this match turns into a no DQ match and then into a Falls Count Anywhere match. Good spots on the cars from the set. Mankind vs. Undertaker
Hell In A Cell (WWE King Of The Ring)- *****
One of the top two matches on this DVD mick takes some unbelievable bumps here. He gets thrown off the cell through an announce table, then thrown through the cell with a chokeslam.........AND THEN THE MATCH STARTS!......thumbtacks!! Mankind vs. The Rock
No DQ (Raw Is War)- ***1/2
Good match with the corporation and DX at ring side. This marks mick's first title win! Cactus Jack vs. Triple H
Street Fight (WWE Royal Rumble)- *****
Other AMAZING match on the DVD Lots of spots with both announce tables used,handcuffs,chairs,skids,thumbtacks and a 2x4 wraped in barbed wire!! AMAZING MATCH AWSOME CHEMISTRY BETWEEN THE TWO!! includs and apperance by THE ROCK! DVD extra matches:
Cactus Jack vs Sting
No DQ (WCW)- ***
Good match REALLY GOOD FOR ITS TIME! some nice spots you catch a nice glimpse of the good ol' sting. Cactus Jack vs. Sabu
The Rematch (ECW)- ****
Basically the same as their first match. it was a good one. THe other extras are good but there arent enough...i wish there was some rock and sock connection stuff there. Good promos and interviews though.
I really missed some matches that were not on the discs.
1. Mankind vs. The Rock (empty arena match)
2. Mankind vs. The Rock (i quit match)
3. Cactus Jack vs. Triple H (Hell In a cell match)
4. Mankind vs. Hunter Hearst Helmsley (Cage match)
5. Mankind vs. Undertaker (Boiler room brawl)
6. Cactus Jack vs. Terry Funk (ECW) * featured sports with a flaming branding iron*
7. Cactus Jack vs. Sandman (Barbed Wire Ropes Match)
8. Cactus Jack vs Big Van Vader (Spin the wheel, make the deal match)
9. Mankind & The Rock vs. Undertaker & Big Show (buried alive match)
All these are more deserving then some of the matches that made the discs. I was very dissapointed when i didnt see some of these there. But what can you do we cant all be pleased. ANyways good dvd highlights a good career and well......BUY IT NOW!

Summary: What is... and what could be.
Review: World Wrestling Entertainment continues its trend of releasing strong retrospective titles with a new career encapsulation of Mick Foley. This title should have it all... the matches most fans would choose, insightful commentary by Foley himself, and a complete set or relevant extras. All should be well... yet, inevitably it isn't. Thank the World Wildlife Foundation and their lawyers for holding wrestling history hostage... yes, there is digital alteration of the old WWF logo in a couple matches. The most glaring instance of this butchery is in the (in)famous Hell in the Cell 2 match with the Undertaker. Us fans have been clamoring for years to get this classic on DVD... and now it arrives complete with blurry ovals on the rind apron, turnbuckles, and numerous other places the old "attitude" logo appears. These shadowy blurs really catch the eye as well... I spent more time looking for the digital masking than watching the match! I should go on to tell everyone what an incredible value this DVD set is... and I should. I just can't get over how stupid this whole legal issue is... and how it in turn shortchanges my consumer rights. Perhaps after a time machine is invented, WWE can change the identity of their history - but for now we all must suffer. This can't be a good harbinger for future releases... Oh, and as a special message to the World Wildlife Foundation... I'm through recycling, and my next vacation will be in Alaska - to club baby seals.
