WWF - Mick Foley - Hard Knocks And Cheap Pops DVD

Mick Foley--Hard Knocks & Cheap Pops, perhaps the finest compilation on one wrestler the WWF has ever released, attempts to explain how this wrestling legend forever changed the WWF in his 15-year career. Actually, what makes it so entertaining and informative is that its the now-retired Foley who walks you through his career and in the best sections candidly deconstructs his most famous matches (where he assumed the various personas of his Leatherface homage, Mankind, the mythical Cactus Jack, and the tie-dye clad Dude Love). Regardless of his numerous incarnations,... the one constant throughout his career was a geeky, tongue-in-cheek sense of humour that dominated even his most violent, gruelling matches. Fat, hairy and sporting a large, gap-toothed smile, the happy-go-lucky Foley proudly admits that he ushered in the Uber-Nerd into the WWF, and gave dorks around the world a role model. However, his odd ring antics--such as Mankinds signature move of stuffing a sock down the throat of an opponent--and backstage slapstick behaviour were only part of the Foley story. As a wrestler, few were as hardcore. Whether falling 20 feet onto tables, getting raked across the face with a 2x4 wrapped in barbed wire or getting pile-driven into a floor full of tacks, Foley pushed his unfit body to ultimate extremes. Hard Knocks & Cheap Pops highlights some of his more brutal matches, including the classic Street Fight with Triple H, which may stand as the bloodiest match in WWF history. Owners of the DVD also get five of Foleys favourite hand-picked matches, making this a must-own for his fans, or fans of wrestling anywhere. --Dave McCoy, Amazon.com [show more]
