WWE: For All Mankind - The Life and Career of Mick Foley [Blu-ray]

"I bake cakes, but no one eats them, I throw parties, but no one attends AND I'M GETTING JUST A LITTLE SICK OF IT!!!"
So went a haunting early 90's WCW promo that would, for me, set Mick Foley, as Cactus Jack, apart from anyone else in wrestling. Sadly for me, that particular promo isn't on this set, but I'll have to give the producers a pass because the bio is arguably the best one that the company has ever done. Even casual fans know Foley's legendary willingness to push the limits of physical pain for the sake of entertaining the public. But it was the depth and believability of Foley's characters that gave that violence context and meaning. Beneath the gore of the Japanese death matches there was always a profound humanity that transcended the stage.

The documentary on Foley's life and wrestling career is exceptionally well done and provides a wealth of rare footage that makes a nice companion to `Have a Nice Day' (the bestselling book that alerted the publishing community to the fact that wrestling fans could read, well, some of them anyway). The documentary and blu-ray extras provide...

A must for any "real" wrestling fan.
Great dvd, even if you are not a wrestling fan. Mick Foley is a american born person that followed and achived his dream. I read his book, Foley is a mans man. He did it his way.

Looks Really Good.
