Mick Foley Greatest Hits & Misses Hardcore Edition Dvd Review

Mick Foley is one of the greatest hardcore wrestlers of all time. He took wrestling to new heights with a hardcore and violent style. Throughout the dvd, Mick will present you each match and promo. He personally handpicked these matches and promos, that meant alot for him and his career.

Disc 1 Matches

Cactus Jack vs Big Van Vader at WCW Saturday Night 4/17/93- A controversial match for its time because WCW had a no blood policy in there matches. Mick was bleeding pretty badly, but it was edited out. Now Mick has the unedited version of it. This is a good match. I give it a 8/10

This by far was the best extra on here

The con's for me is that they could of put on more stuff on the bonus disc. The 2 disc set was released in 2003 while the 3 disc set was released in 2007. They could of put some more matches, or at least promos that led up to the four matches.

Overall I am grateful to have this collection. Mick Foley throughout the dvd was honest about each match and promo. Before, I barley knew who Mick Foley was. Thanks to this impressive dvd set. I know who he is and how much impact he had, in the course and history of wrestling.
