Summary: CactusMan JackKind is the Greatest
Review: Anyone who is a fan of Mick Foley, Cactus Jack, Mankind or Dude Love (although there are no Dude Love references at all on this DVD, thank God) must get this DVD. If just for the interviews alone, you will laugh your a.. off. But for the smarks out there, they make you think and it is sad, when you look at today's landscape of pro wrestling, and what Mick Foley has done to himself to contribute to this great sport, and what his consequences are today. This DVD shows only a small part of his ECW career, as he has wrestled in Memphis, Atlanta (WCW), and various independent promotions. BUY THIS DVD!!!!!!!!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: 2.5 stars...BORING matches...
Review: Cactus Jack, Mick Foley, has never been known for his technical skills. I can count his moveset on one hand. Of course, he has made a name for himself with his extreme style of wrestling. Unfortunately, it might have been extreme in 94-96, during Cactus' years in ECW, but these days it is boring. When we have guys like Rob Van Dam, Sabu, Hayabusa, etc., seeing Mick Foley doing weak chair shots is not exciting. Seeing wimpy table spots is not entertaining, nor is watching people bleed. Unfortunately, that is what all of the matches on this DVD are made up of. If you are looking for good, ECW style wrestling, check out the Heatwave DVD. The RVD & Sabu vs. Hayabusa and Shinzaki match is more entertaining than this entire DVD. That beng said, the DVD is interesting. The promos are all good, and you get to see the very early years of ECW--in the first match, Joey Styles refers to te promotion as Eastern Championship Wrestling. There's a thin Paul E., Saturn with hair, and everyone looks very young. ECW's production values in those days were even worse than usual-even the ring looks terrible. The sound and picture of the matches is all bad. It gets 2.5 stars because its interesting to watch Mick Foley before he became famous, ECW's early days, and a few good spots. The DVD itself is put together quite well, and the editing and pacing of the compilation is well done. Its just the raw material itself was bad in the first place. I recommend this DVD only for big-time ECW or Mick Foley fans.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good, but not great
Review: GOOD POINTS
*Its Cactus Jack!
*Over 3 hours
*Cactus' anti-harcore promos
*Some rare, early ECW matches
BAD POINTS
*Pretty shotty audio and camera work, the camera misses some of the most hardcore things and when a wrestler uses the house mike, its nearly impossible to understand them.
*A lot of the matches are edited.......LOTS. There is only about 4 full length matches on the whole DVD, the rest of the matches go on for no longer then 5 minutes.
*Some of the matches are already on the "best of" ECW DVDs, so if you have bought them, you have already got the best this DVD has to offer.

If your a hardcore Cactus fan: By it
If not, I recommend the "best of" ECW DVD series instead.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If you are a Cactus Jack fan you must get this!!!
Review: I don't know what's better. The matches or the legendary Cactus promos! Cactus v.s. Sabu, probably the 2 most hardcore wrestlers ever. Terry Funk and Sandman are here as well and they rank almost neck and neck with Sabu and Cacti. You have Cactus with the Franchise, Cactus and Dreamer and probably Cactus's most memorable period in ECW: his friendship with Mickey Whipwreck and their reign as tag champs! I fell on the floor so many times from the backstage interviews that I felt like I was in a hardcore match! Also, for those of you who know Cactus's history from WCW...Kevin Sullivan is here too! Definitely worth it!! Now I just wish they would make a 4 hr all promo tape from all the federations Mick has worked in!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Well worth the money
Review: I must admit I've never been a huge Foley fan, but this is an amazing compilation of some of his best work. It shows both the derranged and comical side of Foley that would later appear in the WWF, but all at the same time. Some of the most brutal matches with Terry Funk and Sabu, excellent storyline with Mikey Whipwreck, and killer anti-hardcore promos. The man has more injuries than an entire ER combined.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Before cactus sold out
Review: I was there for Cactus jacks last match, legendary isnt even the word for him. If your a true fan of Mick, the Mick before he sold out, then you'll love this movie, i know i do.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Catus Jack is the best
Review: I would really rated this a 4 1/2, this dvd is great for those who love hardcore. You will see Jack having feuds with Sabu, Tommy Dreamer,The Sandman, and the famous Terry Funk.I like this DVD for the blood and violents it has. Most of the matches I didn't really like because the wrestlers weren't really doing anything hardcored, they were just tapping each other backs with chairs.Not to much exicitment because most of the time the funs are dead. Other then that it was really Hardcored. This DVD is not for those who hate violents, cause the wrestlers use anything from a bottle to a burning iron.-ECW!ECW!ECW!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Mick Foley is good but he's no SABU
Review: I'm sure this dvd will make a great showpiece to the ECW DVD collection, but until they make a Best of SABU DVD there will be a void. No wrestler in history is more fun to watch than SABU. Cactus, though fat, slow, and overrated, still puts on a decent show.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Hardcore Legend
Review: If any one wrestling superstar symbolizes ECW and hardcore wrestling, it is Cactus Jack (Mick Foley). This DVD includes some of the bloodiest feuds between Foley and superstars such as Tommy Dreamer, Terry Funk, and the Sandman. The Best of Cactus Jack also also takes a look at the unlikely duo of Mikey Whipwreck and Cactus Jack. Any ECW fan knows some of the greatest promos in the promotions history were cut by Mick Foley, which will be evident on this DVD. I highly recommend this DVD to all ECW fans and Mankind fans alike.

Rating: 5 stars
