Great retrospective on a great careerI have seen some reviews of this blu ray as well as some of the other more recent WWE blu ray releases where the reviewers are very critical of the content. Most of these reviews focus on the match selection on disc two or disc three of a three disc set. And there are reviews out there that will tell you specifically which matches are included and so if you are making your decision based on what matches are included that information is available. One of the reviews that I read complained about the fact that there aren't any Mick Foley/Sabu matches and that there aren't any Mick Foley/Terry Funk matches. I think that the reason for that is that there have been other WWE DVD and blu ray releases that cover that and so they tried to put together a set with matches that haven't been included in the other sets some fans are likely to own. To that end there are some gems here that haven't been put in other sets. But for me, really, the bottom line is that you get a full length video about...
Looks like a great documentary with underwhelming match listingHere's the complete match listing for Mick Foley's latest WWE DVD/Blu-ray set. The biography looks great, but the match listing is nothing to get excited about. I understand that they didn't want to have several repeats from Mick's previous set, but in this case, I think they needed to include some of those matches. No Sabu matches? No Terry Funk matches? Come on! At least we will finally be getting the Hell in a Cell match with the Undertaker uncensored with the original WWF logo intact for the first time on DVD or Blu-ray. Again, the documentary looks tremendous and in-depth, but the match listing is really lacking.
Updated on April 18th: I have just viewed the Blu-ray and I gotta say, the documentary is 'Have a Nice Day' the cliff notes edition. Most parts of Mick's life and career are quickly skimmed over or completely ignored. No mention at all about Mick spitting on the WCW Tag Team Titles during his ECW debut against Sabu which enraged the powers that be at WCW...
A career fulfilled and a legacy etched in stone"The Hardcore Legend", "Ms. Foley's Baby Boy", he was Dude Love, Cactus Jack, Mankind, whatever you want to call him, fans around the world know Mick Foley as one of the most daring and risk taking people ever in professional wrestling. This set chronicles his career from humble beginnings to the stardom he earned through his blood, sweat, tears and sacrifice in and out of the ring.
The bio begins with his growing up, how he became a wrestling fan from an early age even doing some amateur wrestling in high school. He and close friends talk about how he did writing in middle and high school, which obviously influenced him to write three New York Times Bestsellers later in his WWE career. His love of wrestling really took off when he saw Jimmy Snuka do his famous dive off the cage onto Don Muraco in '83, sometime after this he began to train for professional wrestling in unusual fashion to say the least, jumping off of roofs onto matresses, for example. But he did end up...
