Bang , Bang!!

This has alot of great matches with Mick telling you a little about each one before and after and about himself. It does not trace his career going through each period as most of the wrasslin' dvd's I have do. If you are a Foley fan or a fan of any of his personas this is a must. Lotta matches.

Five stars for the upgrade

Cactus Jack...Mankind...Dude Love...Mick Foley. The wrestling knowns this man to be a daredevil and have some pretty violent matches. The orignal dvd did contain the unforgetable Hell in the Cell match against Undertaker which made him a household name. I never really liked Foley as a performer and I dont know why. I do respect what he's done for wrestling but I still dont rank him up there with greatest of all time. The dvd should have showed his matches in Japan, where he truly was a violent wrestler. The upgrade is the only reason to get this dvd because those were some of his best matches. His match against Randy Orton and Edge are probably the best stateside performances Foley ever put on. Now he is semi-retired, wrestling once in awhile and popping up anywheres for a check. November 29, 2007

Mick Foley Greatest Hits and Misses

My grandson really likes this tape he loves wrestling so this was great for him June 9, 2007

Hardcore Edition makes up for previous omissions...

Mick Foley will always be one of my favorite pro-wrestling superstars. That's why when I purchased the first edition of "Greatest Hits and Misses", I was disappointed to have him continually point out that the match we were about to watch was not one of his favorites.

However, the addition of the third disk makes up for the missing true favorite bouts, and not the ones hand picked for him. The action is real, extremely intense (with most every bout in each disk), and still worth every penny despite Foley's own admission that some of the matches are not his best/favorite....

I am, however, disappointed that his cage match with Hunter (in which he redid his "fall through the cage" bit, this time breaking the canvas of the ring) was not on here, as I feel it is also one of his bests.

In all, the disk is still outstanding despite the omissions. May 16, 2007

One of the Greatest WWE DVD's Ever!

Mick Foley's Greatest Hits and Misses is no doubt one of the greatest superstar profiles WWE has ever released. Here's whats on it.
Disk One:
Cactus Jack vs. Big Van Vader WCW Saturday Night 4/17/1993
Some of the latter day hardcore fans may not like this one, but it was good for its time. Cactus wins.
Cactus Jack & Maxx Payne vs. Nasty Boys in a Chicago Street Fight
This one took place at WCW Spring Stampede 4/17/1994. I was very impressed with this match. I never thought I would see something like that in WCW (especially in 1994!) Nasty Boys win.
Cactus Jack vs. Sabu ECW Hostile City Showdown 6/24/1994
Cactus was sent to ECW by WCW to wrestle this match. Every entertaining with some nice spots. Sabu wins.
Cactus Jack vs. Chris Candido SMW 11/18/1994
Nice match for Smokey Mountain Wrestling. Cactus Jack wins.
Cactus Jack vs. Sandman in a Texas Death Match ECW 2/4/1995
Not as great as I thought it would be, but still good. You could tell in some spots that Sandman wasn't in his right mind! To win this one, you had to pin. Then he had to stay down for a ten count (kind of a mix between a regular match and a Last Man Standing match.) Cactus wins.
Cactus & Raven vs. Terry Funk and Tommy Dreamer ECW November 2 Remember
This match was AWESOME! Many weapons used including a VCR, a cheese grador, and a frying pan! Funk and Dreamer win.
Cactus vs. Mikey Whipwreck ECW 3/9/1996
This was a cool match. It was Foley's last ECW match. Cactus wins.

Disk Two
Introducing... Mankind!
Mankind vs. HBK World Title WWE Mind Games 9/22/1996
Mick calls this his favorite match. It was a good match. HBK wins by DQ.
Cactus vs. Hunter Hearst-Helmsley Falls Count Anywhere Raw 9/22/1997
This match was sweet! It was also cool to hear the Raw fans start chanting ECW ECW! Cactus wins.
Mick Foley vs. Terry Funk Raw 5/4/1998
Nice to see these two friends battle it out. Foley wins.
Dude Love vs. Stone Cold World Title Over the Edge 5/31/1998
This was Foley's greatest match as the Dude Love character. Add Vince McMahon as special guest referee and Undertaker at ring side during the entire match and your in for a treat! Austin wins.
Mankind vs. Undertaker Hell in a Cell King of the Ring 6/28/1998
This is the match that Foley will be remembered most for. Him falling of and through the cage was amazing. Add a steal chair and some thumb tacts and you get one of the greatest Hell in a Cell match ever. Undertaker wins.
Mankind vs. The Rock World Title Raw 1/4/1999
This was a emotional one for Mick Foley and a decent match. Mankind wins his first of three World Titles.
Cactus Jack vs. HHH in a Street Fight World Tile Royal Rumble 1/23/2000
This has to be one of the greatest street fights of all time! Barbed wire, steal chairs, thumb tacts, handcuffs, and other weapons are used. Lots of blood. HHH wins
Extras for Disk Two

Disk Three
All of the following matches can be viewed with regular commentary or special commentary with Mick and Joey Styles
Mick Foley vs. Randy Orton No Holds Barred for the Intercontinental Title Backlash 4/18/2004.
This match was sweet with lots of thumb tacts and barbed wire. Orton wins.
Foley vs. Edge Hardcore match Wrestlmania 22 4/2/2006
This match was great. Most shocking moment is win Edge spears Foley through a flaming table. Edge wins.
Foley, Edge, and Lita vs. Tommy Dreamer, Terry Funk, and Beulah ECW One Night Stand 6/11/2006
This match, in my opinion, was the greatest one from one night stand. Barbed wire, fire, and other weapons were used. Foley, Edge, & Lita win.
Foley vs. Ric Flair I Quit match SummerSalm 8/20/2006
It was so sweet to see these two legends battle it out in the ring. Lots of blood shed. Ric Flair wins.
